128 percent overdrive ?! Hmm… pretty good.

Professional overclockers usually travel to big game, but SPLAVE thought it was worth a try in the lower house as well. NVIDIA designed the Pascal architecture specifically for high clock speeds, so after some redesign - the card received additional power (more on this below) - the focus was on proper cooling. The latter was, of course, liquid nitrogen, which is a proven method in this profession.

This chip spun at nearly 2,80 GHz.

The result shown above is a hwbot.org comes from the portal, the carbon-powered GeForce GT 1030 showed its strength under 3DMARK 03. The graphics processor was skinned all the way to 2 MHz - as described because it seems 794 MHz slower in the picture - the memories also kept up nicely: 10 MHz, which is exactly 2% above the reference. The insanely high clock is partly attributed to:

  • Presumably, the aggastyán metering program could not cause the same level of load as the recent releases.
  • Due to the 64-bit memory bus, “feeding” the GPU was not enough - it ran at relatively low utilization.

In any case, it is beyond dispute that 106 points is a very impressive result, which is approximately the level of the Radeon HD 356/7950.

If our smell doesn't cheat, then that's the picture EVGA EPOWER V, which is a 12 + 2 phase VRM module with three 6-pin PCIe power connectors. The stuff is significantly more expensive than the GeForce GT 1030, but it was obviously worth applying.
