If for yesterday’s records on Radeon HD 6950 Splave used a 16-core, 32-thread Core i9-9960X processor, since 3DMark Vantage and 3DMark 2011 can utilize such a number of cores/threads, then for today’s records, the overclocker took mainstream Core i9-9900KF.
The reason for this is simple: 3DMark 2003, 3DMark 2005, and 3DMark 2006 are more sensitive to the performance of eight or fewer cores. And the monstrous crystal Core i9-9960X is simply not capable of overclocking to high frequencies, like the same Core i9-9900KF.
The American enthusiast took these features into account, and when conquering the “classic” 3DMark, he adopted a Core i9-9900KF overclocked to 7000MHz. The only exception was the 2006 version. In it, the processor could not function stably at 7000MHz, and Splave was limited to 6901MHz.
First place in 3DMark 2003 in the Radeon HD 6950 rank with a score of 141681 points.
The GPU clock was 1325MHz and the GDDR5 memory clock – 6600MHz.
Gold 3DMark 2005 in the Radeon HD 6950 rank with a score of 70,788 marks.
The GPU clock was 1325MHz and the GDDR5 memory clock – 6600MHz.
First place in 3DMark 2006 in the Radeon HD 6950 rank with a score of 50,547 points.
Splave could not keep the GPU frequency at the same level and it was 1300 MHz, and the GDDR5 memory frequency dropped to the effective 6500 MHz.
The American also excelled in the Unigine Heaven – Xtreme benchmark:
Gold was provided by 2192.54 DX11 points.
The GPU frequency was 1325 MHz, and the GDDR5 memory frequency was 6600 MHz.
Test setup-record holder:
- Processor – Core i9-9900KF
- Motherboard – ASRock Z170M OC Formula
- Video card – ASUS HD 6950 DirectCU II (exclusively my assumptions based on Device-ID GPU-z)
- Power Supply – Enermax MaxTytan 1250W
The rest of the components, as always, Splave did not specify.
