OVIZ Hardware Lab claims third place in Radeon HD 5970 category

Swiss overclocker OVIZ Hardware Lab, a member of the Overclockers.UA team, secured a bronze medal in the 3DMark Vantage - Performance discipline, specifically for the Radeon HD 5970—a dual-GPU graphics card that was a top-tier monster in its day.

Currently, the 3DMark Vantage - Performance discipline relies more on CPU performance. With new Intel and AMD models emerging, competition in Futuremark's older graphics benchmarks is reigniting. This trend is evident in the Radeon HD 5970 rankings, where the release of Alder Lake chips has allowed many enthusiasts to reclaim lost positions, and sometimes significantly outperform their rivals.

To achieve this record, OVIZ Hardware Lab used an Intel Core i9-12900K processor, overclocked to 5710MHz (+78.44% above stock frequency), and an XFX HD 5970 graphics card (though the overclocker could have flashed any BIOS). Using a custom liquid cooling system (LCS), the graphics adapter was pushed to 1025MHz for the GPU (+41.38% above stock) and 5140MHz for the GDDR5 memory (+28.50% above stock). While these frequencies don't represent the card's maximum overclocking potential, they were more than sufficient given the discipline's CPU dependency, helping the benchmark finish with an impressive score of 50695 points:
