Overclokers Break the 3D Mark Record With Nitrogen- Cooled Graphics Cards

This ties into my upcoming series on SLI (stay tuned) but here’s what you can do with a little know-how and some nitrogen (and being bored in Finland):

“Two Finnish overclocking gurus broke the 3dMark world record using a special liquid nitrogen cooling system and two XFX Nvidia cards in SLI-mode. Their system, which included a special liquid nitrogen cooling system, utilized XFX’s NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT SLI card. As a result, they were able to increase the power supply to the memory modules and achieve a core clock of 575 MHz with a memory speed of 1300 MHz to produce a screaming 3DMark Score of 12,483.

“The two XFX GeForce 6800 GTs with NVIDIA SLI technology were pitted against imposing opposition — including SLI enabled GeForce 6800 Ultras and, against all odds and mind-boggling improbability, they were able to surpass the competition by leaps and bounds.

“To accomplish this great benchmarking achievement, XFX and the Finnish overclockers utilized a pair of XFX’s multi-award-winning GeForce 6800 GT cards featuring 256MB of 256-bit GDDR3 memory, PCI Express Bus Architecture and NVIDIA’s SLI Technology.”
