Moonman shatters Unigene Heaven World Record

leeghoofd · 15th April 2014, 07:42

Although AMD's latest Radeon R9 290X is an interesting card to bench and overclock, it seems the bitcoin frenzy is affecting the amount of overclockers putting this card through its paces. In addition, the cards seem quite flaky under cold which make them difficult to handle. Nevertheless, the top of the crop is benching these cards hard and with AMDs Tessellation "optimization" features, Heaven DX11 is the primary choice for many overclockers.

Especially Moonman and Pro OC Phil have been going at it lately, topping each other record twice now. Just this morning -Taipei time- Moonman hammered (pun intended) Phil's record and is now the first to achieve over 5500 points with a single GPU graphics card. Awesome! We look forward to Phil's response to this great score!

Used hardware:

-Cascade cooled Intel i5-4670K@5723MHz
-ASUS R290X@1540/1800 cooled by EKWB Critical Point
-4GB Single channel Ram at 1300c10-12-12-24
-eVGA SuperNova G2 1000W PSU
