Bullant takes top spot with GeForce GTX 780

Australian enthusiastBullant set a record in 3DMark2001 SE, becoming first in the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 GPU category.

In competitions using older 3DMark benchmarks like 2001, the CPU's power is the primary factor. In 90% of cases, core count doesn't even matter, as these older benchmarks don't support multithreading. This is evident in Bullant's record-breaking run, which was powered by an Intel Core i9-11900K chip, clocked at an impressive 6709 MHz.

However, the graphics card — a top-tier MSI Lightning GeForce GTX 780 — was also significantly pushed. Its GPU frequency hit 1570 MHz (+81.92% over stock), and the GDDR5 memory reached 1695 MHz (+12.85% over stock). Still, these frequencies are nowhere near what Bullant's peers, like 8 Pack, zzolio, and Strat, have achieved:

• Motherboard — GIGABYTE Z590 Aorus Tachyon;

• Processor — Intel Core i9-11900K;

• Graphics card — MSI Lightning GeForce GTX 780 (MSI N780 Lightning).
