GTX 780 Ti Classified K|NGP|N Edition OC'd Past 2GHz
A new GPU overclocking record has been set.
The EVGA GTX 780 Ti Classified K|NGP|N Edition graphics card was announced quite a while ago, and it was built to set overclocking records. It has taken a couple of months, but now a new world record has been set. This graphics card comes with a very large dual-fan cooler, which has a semi-transparent shroud. However, for serious overclocking, EVGA still recommends that you simply remove the cooler and replace it with either liquid cooling or a liquid nitrogen solution. The GPUs are hand-picked for better stability along with lower power consumption and heat output.
K|NGP|N himself, who in the real world is known as Vince Lucido, has teamed up with Illya Tsemenko and EVGA to set this new record. The overclockers have managed to pull the clock speed of the GPU aboard up to a jaw-dropping 2025 MHz. At this speed, the team managed to score 8,793 points in 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme, which is also a new world record. The card was already overclocked to 1933 MHz earlier, also by K|NGP|N himself.
EVGA had supplied the accompanying hardware, which consists of an EVGA X79 Dark motherboard along with an EVGA PSU, the model of which was not provided.

it's safe to say he volt modded this card to get past the 1.15v. lol
I wonder how well it can play at 4k?
What cooling solution did K|NGP|N use? Liquid, air, nitrogen?
...no, still bottlenecked by the 3GB VRAM...
If this is what cherry picked GK110 is capable of, makes me wonder what would happen if someone does about the same with a cherry picked Tahiti. With all the inherent constraint nVdia gave bless upon those GK110s(I'm looking at you GPU Boost, and yes I know they disable it to some extent with this particular card series, but still...) to rather conservative give-and-take(performance vs heat) AMD gives to their Tahitis, I believe the Tahiti should perform tad higher than this if given the same proper measure. Or maybe it could be worst either.
Out of curiosity for that reason, I hope someone answer this with a Tahiti :v
