ASUS has just broken three 3DMark World Records with its ROG Astral RTX 5090 GPU, breaking past 50K points in Port Royal.
ASUS Secures Three World Records With Its OC-Ready ROG Astral RTX 5090 GPU
You might have thought that ASUS would be breaking some world records with its ROG Matrix 5090 GPU, but the company has achieved three new world records in 3DMark, all using its second-best 5090 variant, the ROG Astral.
We have seen the NVIDIA RTX 5090 breaking several world records. Most of the records are being set by variants such as MSI's Lighting, GALAX's HOF, and ASUS ROG Matrix series, but today, ASUS has broken three past the 50K limit in 3DMark Port Royal. All three world records were achieved by the one and only, SPLAVE.
For setting the records, SPLAVE disassembled the cooler from the ASUS ROG RTX 5090 Astral graphics card and put it under LN2. You can see the custom mod, which includes the iconic Kingpin ICON EXTREME V5 LN2 POT over the GPU, and three blower-type fans pushing air directly to the VRMs. The VRMs were also equipped with custom copper heatsinks which look impressive.
During the OC session, the ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 was pushed to an impressive 3.7 GHz clock speed and a 36 Gbps clock speed across the 16 GDDR7 memory chips. Interestingly, the card was only equipped with a single 16-pin connector.
For the record, there are three new world records achieved by the ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090, which include:
- 3DMark Port Royal (3635/2250 MHz) - 50,060 Points
- 3DMark Steel Nomad (3600/2215 MHz) - 19,427 Points
- 3DMark Speed Way (3700/2230 MHz) - 18,734 Points
Not only are the record scores impressive, but so are the overclocked clock speeds, and achieving both using a single 16-pin connector, which only allows 600W of power, is impressive. ASUS sets a new benchmark for future RTX 5090 OC benchmarks.
