New GPU world record set with Nvidia RTX 4090 overclocked to 3.9GHz

Overclocker “Cens” has once again demonstrated his skills by breaking the GPUPI world record. By pushing a Colorful RTX 4090 iGame LAB edition to 3.93 GHz, the overclocker secured the top spot in HWBOT's GPUPI 3.3 32B ranking.

Note that HWBOT competitions do not have a specific GPU frequency ranking. Instead, participants use GPUPI, a software that calculates the mathematical constant Pi using the Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula with OpenCL or CUDA optimisations. Still, GPUPI isn't a graphics-intensive benchmark. Its peak frequency observed in this test falls short of the actual utilisation of 3D technology in games or synthetic benchmarks. Nevertheless, we're now close to the ambitious 4.0 GHz barrier.

First to break the 3900MHz barrier on a VGA🔥

Currently, the top 20 positions in the ranking are dominated by RTX 4090 cards. Cens (via VideoCardz) claimed first place with an updated score of 46 seconds and 383 milliseconds. The graphics card reportedly achieved a maximum frequency of 3930 MHz, setting a new record for the highest recorded GPU frequency to date.

Cens achieved this feat using the Colorful iGame RTX 4090 LAB edition, a highly binned version of the iGame Vulcan graphics card. Colorful's new GPU is gradually establishing itself as a high-end line of products, rivalling the likes of Galax HOF and the now discontinued EVGA Kingpin cards.

KitGuru says: Do you think overclockers will break the 4GHz barrier this generation, or will we have to wait for new architecture?
