So here’s the deal: GALAX’s GeForce RTX 5090 D just hit a wild overclocking high, like really up there with 3650 MHz. No kidding. It smashed records in 3DMark Port Royal, Unigine Superposition, and GPUPI. I mean, what even is GPUPI? But it’s a thing, trust me.
Okay, so Team OGS (those guys really know their stuff, right?) took the GALAX GeForce RTX 5090 D to a whole other level. They were all like, “Let’s see how far this can go!” And, boom, new records. Just like that. They used this Intel Core i9-14900KF CPU and an ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 APEX Encore motherboard. Cool names, I guess. Stavros from Team OGS, who sounds like a wizard or something, explained how they did it: basically, a max power limit of 2000W with this XOC BIOS. Yeah, tech stuff that I only sort of pretend to get. Those 12V-2×6 connectors delivering 600W each? I don’t know why, but those numbers sound like they’d fry a toaster.
Anyway, about those results – the thing went beyond 3.6 GHz in one benchmark and over 3.5 GHz in two others. The max speed was 3650 MHz in that GPUPI test, finishing in 39.434 seconds. Really precise, huh? It’s one of those details that sticks with you, like why you suddenly remember you have to buy milk while watching movies.
Oh, the memory got a boost too. Went up to 36 Gbps from 28 Gbps – that’s a 28.5% jump. Impressive, even if numbers make your head spin like mine. The overclocked model could push 2.304 TB/s bandwidth. The stock RTX 5090 did 1.792 TB/s. I don’t know why the difference feels like a lot, but it just does.
Wrapping this random thought train up: seeing teams like OGS pushing GPU limits? Kinda inspiring in a tech-geek way. And it’s not like we’re done seeing what the 5090 D can do. There’s more to come when these tweaks hit standard GPUs. Who knows, maybe I’ll actually understand what GPUPI means by then. Or not.
