Kinc and Shamino breaks 27,000 in 3DMark 06 with Mushkin and ASUS HD 2900 XT CrossFir

[NH|Delph1]

After a not so fortunate start of the Games Convention, Kinc and Shamino have returned to their everyday life and started benching again with Mushkin at the Games Convention. Unfortunately Kinc lost his precious Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850, but luckily Shamino had another which worked "quite well" too. Sham's QX6850 reached 5119MHz (3DMark stable) on an ASUS Blitz Extreme. The memories used were Mushkin's new DDR3-1333 memories (we have some more information about these later).

The processor was cooled by Shamino's Dragonpot, which in other terms mean liquid nitrogen. The pair of ASUS Radeon HD 2900 XT, which Kinc and Shamino overclocked to 1175/950MHz, was also cryo-cooled, but with a pair of Mousepot rev4.

This brings Kinc, and Shamino of course, back to the top of the 3DMark 06 Hall of Fame, along with the Radeon HD 2900 XT. The new GPU-pots (rev4) with a thicker base really does wonders for the Radeon HD 2900 XT, and there might even be more coming. The new world record is 27,039 points and it might even get a tweak or two before the Games Convention is over.

There you go.

Two of the world's best 3DMark overclockers get together and magic happens.

Glad to hear after the huge setback they had coming in that they can still kick ass and take names. 1175MHz on the R600 core is rather crazy, it reminds me of Netburst with the rather high-clock possibilities of it.

awww kingpin is no longer #1 but soon he probably is again

[Zytek_Fan]

And people think HD2900s suck

Unless your only game is 3dmark05 and maybe 06, yes it sucks.

[Exedy]

Congrats!

Hey its cheat using a memory that was not released yet!

[Okda]

glad to see them back in action

and very sorry for the stolen Kinc's QX6850

lol yer basicly what he said.

Also good to see kinc and shamino can come back from the loss and still do what they do.

Well done guy's on the wr.

[zanzabar]

just imagine if 3dmark let u use the 1gb cards with another 50% memory bandwidth

[Charles Wirth]

Grats guys on the WR pulled off at GC.

Looks like they didnt use Z9 based DDR3, most likely Qumonda parts?

[ColonelCain]

Congrats! I wonder what we'll see with Penryn + the G92!

[Eldonko]

Awesome, congrats guys.

[Morais]

Congrats dudes! 27k is very hard to break!

[tictac]

i wonder what will we see with 3ghz quad 10 + triple or quad crossfire r600

[hecktic]

and now we await for kingpin or hipro or even fugger to beat the new record

the CPU Score was 7619 Marks... I know one of the three people I just mentioned had beaten this score not too recently.

[Exedy]

i wonder what will we see with 3ghz quad 10 + triple or quad crossfire r600

We will see this



1 for each r600

[higgins]

sweet! congrats lads

Yupp, Mushkin uses Qimonda chips for its first modules.

I spoke to Saki at DreamHack, and he wasn't exactly thrilled, but they seemed to work OK at the time. Better things are coming.

EDIT:
No they don't, they use Elpida chips.
