Quadfire R9 290X Breaks Firestrike World record.

[Gunjob]

 

 

High heat output video card Radeon R9 290X - not a hindrance for extreme overclockers who have a powerful weapon to win the Gold Cup in credit disciplines HWBot. The first difference of the Russian master Vladimir nitrogen benchmarking “ Smoke ”Georgiev, pobivshy absolute records of the tests 3DMark Vantage ( 96,500 points), 3DMark 11 ( 41531 points) and 3DMark Fire Strike ( 34246 points) stands for the four GPU.

Thats what it takes to cool a 290x reference card!

omg hahaha lololol

[Alex(PlayMedium)]

Could these coolers manage to keep them below 90°c?

This must be a leak of Asus' prototype aftermarket card cooler.

r9 290x breaking a record is nothing groundbreaking seeing as Titan is built with 1,5 years old GPU.

[legopc]

i wonder how far they can go with a custom wc loop 

[JupiteL]

If they just can keep the temperature, this card would be less hated..

[Hecknologist]

I really like Nvidia but i'm really glad that AMD is having some success out of this new card as it will hopefully do what AMD failed to do to intel; Kick their ass into releasing more high-end parts. WE KNOW YOU'RE HIDING THEM NVIDIA NOW GIVE THEM OVER AND NOBODY GETS HURT!!

 

 

sidenote: I've seen phase change cooling on cpus before but never a gpu for long time use. Anyone know whether it has been done?

You miss understand how the current cooling and boost tech works, the card will always hit 90c with any cooler if that is your thermal limit, It will run as fast as it can until 95c with however you've set your fan/power/temp limit.

titan breaking a record is nothing groundbreaking seeing as HD7970 is built with 1,08 years old GPU.

That or deepspace

Good luck hitting 90c with LIQUID NITROGEN

Good luck hitting 90c with LIQUID NITROGEN

Ahah indeed that would be the exception :') 

[IsaaX]

Bah, I was expecting to see more realistic cooling when I clicked to enter this thread lol.

[FernandoTeixeira]

world record  = not realistic  

 

lol 

[James Yang]

That takes a lot to cooling down four R9 290X OCin'...

 

But the numbers looks very fantastic...

and by the time Nvidia ships their next actually new GPU the 290x will be a year old, a record is a record man

Actually, deep space is a shitty cooler.

 

If you threw a person out of a space craft out in the deepest of space, they would suffocate before they froze, even though deepest space is only a little above absolute zero. Basically because of how vacuums work, and because the only way to remove the heat from the body would be radiation. So if anything, deep space would likely be worse than on Earth for cooling a graphics card that is producing heat at a steady rate.

If you threw a person out of a space craft they'd likely die for other reason related to decompression as water boils at an extremely low temperature in a vacuum.  But now we're getting off topic.
