OGS set a 3DMark 2005 record with three AMD Radeon HD 7970 graphics cards
Overclocker OGS set a 3DMark 2005 record using Radeon HD 7970 cards. While the Core i9-9900K deserves credit, the questionable GPU setup raised eyebrows.
Greek overclocker OGS earned gold in the Radeon HD 7970 triple-GPU category and first place among any three GPUs:

⤢ ВІДКРИТИAs the screenshots show, this achievement mostly comes from a Core i9-9900K CPU, an 8-core, 16-thread chip overclocked to 7100MHz. The graphics cards themselves ran at their factory clock speeds, which is typical for older, less parallelized benchmarks.
The enthusiast didn't specify which exact graphics cards they used, but judging by the photo, it's a rather interesting and highly debatable setup involving a dual-GPU card and a single-GPU card.
Based on the GPU-Z DeviceID data (1002 6798 - 1787 2317), the first graphics card is a Radeon HD 7990.

The Greek overclocker didn't show the DeviceID for the second card, but it's clearly a standard single-GPU HD 7970.
Other known components include an ASUS ROG Maximus XI Apex motherboard and a 1300-watt Antec High Current Pro power supply.
