Shar00750: AMD Radeon R9 280X and R9 290 Records

Israeli overclocker shar00750 has set two records on two different AMD graphics cards.

The enthusiast first secured a gold in the Radeon R9 280X category within the 3DMark Vantage benchmark. To achieve this, shar00750 overclocked the graphics card to 1420MHz on the core and 7240MHz on the memory. The Core i9-9900KF CPU ran at 5898MHz:

The Radeon R9 280X is a slightly optimized version of the Radeon HD 7970.

The Israeli overclocker didn't specify the exact graphics card used, but a GPU-Z screenshot—specifically its BIOS version—suggests it could be either a Sapphire R9 280X 3 GB Tri-X OC or a Toxic R9 280X 3 GB, both from Sapphire.

The overclocker achieved his second, and final, gold using an AMD Radeon R9 290. The graphics card was overclocked to 1365/6660MHz (core/memory), and the processor to 5858MHz:

In this instance, the graphics card used in the test bench was identified as an ASUS R9 290 DirectCU II OC.

Unfortunately, the remaining components, apart from the ASUS ROG Maximus XI Apex motherboard specified by the overclocker, could not be identified.
