AMD Radeon HD 7970 Quad CrossFireX Stomps 3DMark Records
You ask for more graphics power, well Asus ROG's Andre Yang shows off the power of a quad-CrossFireX Radeon HD 7970 setup, which captures not one, not two but five "unofficial" world records.
In an article on the overclocking world rankings HWBOT, it was reported that Asus ROG's Andre Yang posted to Facebook a news update showing off new World Records for 3DMark and Unigine Heaven. HWBOT does point out the results are not confirmed to be legit just yet. It is believed that the results will be made official after the official launch of the Radeon HD 7970 on January 9th.
Yang used four Radeon HD 7970's and an Intel Core i7-3960X on an Asus Rampage IV Extreme X79 motherboard to achieve the five "unofficial" world records. With the help of overclocking on liquid nitrogen, he performs the benchmarks with CPU clock speed @ 5.6 GHz and GPU clock speed up to 1,600 MHz.

awesome scores but they will get better with better drivers and when more GPUs are available so they can cherry pick, also you can see that its being CPU bottlenecked on everything except 3Dmark11 Xtreme and Unigine Heaven Extreme.
Nice
Nice, and what i love is how practical this is for the masses.
i know what joke willl be coming

Exactly, these outlying scores only skew the comparisons of people bench marking their usable rig.
Holy crap almost 1.5ghz on the core clock!
And yeah that's a pretty sound beating, especially the Unigene Heaven bench.
Another world record.
I WTB two pls
Yeah, but the main question is still without answer: can it play crysis?
Wow! This has no practical application...
realistically what does this matter to anyone in the real world? It doesn't matter at all. No one is going to run an system like this and would be stupid to try and run it like this long term. It is all to say, my system is better then yours. WHO CARES!
How long would this ting last in the real world?? lol Nerd cool though!
people who say this has not practical application are just jelly.
Can you run a copy of red alert 2 on that system and tell us how well it performs?
Can this play crysis?
These scores even though the typical user would not get them are still impressive.
Makes sense.
Well, I don't find the reason for doing these things. If they used conventional cooling (air or water) and went for stable 24/7 systems it would be more useful and deserving than just using some LN2 and lots of multimeters on hardware that will end up in the dumpster.
AMD HD 7950 won't show up on January 9th
Of course, the Tahiti XT HD 7970 should start selling on January 9th, but for now the cheaper HD 7950 won't.

my 6950 is only at 870 mhz lol

I guess it is like the 100m dash at the Olympics.
Not much use in everyday life, but fun to watch.
...and why didn't AMD use their own FX series processor?
I wonder...
(no, I don't really wonder. I do know why. I'm just being sarcastic.)
I wonder how much FPS it would get in BF3 at ultra settings on 3 full HD monitors.

What's AMD got to do with it? It's ASUS we're talking about here so ...
Imagine the amazing work you could do with 3dws max and the gpu rendering with iRay and qucksilver. truly amazing. and editing? can you say red one uncompressed openCL|cuda? YESSS! PLEASE!

AMD is good at breaking records....
Can it play Crysis?
Damn..

Of course it is practical; it only takes your own personal butler to keep pouring the liquid nitrogen in there, and you can happily game away...
