Pro Overclocker 8 Pack's Matrix Reviews (Air) And World Record (LN2)
Overclockers UK's in-house hardware guru, 8 Pack, has put together two Matrix reviews, one air cooled R9 290X review and one liquid nitrogen cooled GTX 780 Ti review, from the perspective of an extreme overclocker:
On the Matrix R9 290X:
"For the gamer they offer High factory clocks, great cooling and excellent aesthetics. The overclocker gets a strong PWM, cherry picked components and again the uprated DC2 style cooler.
For me they have also always offered some extra innovation to the pack when it comes to supporting xtreme overclocking with very little modification. This card continues in that tradition with even more features that can assist you. Short a jumper on the back of the card and switch to LN2 bios and you have literally limitless Voltage control options from software to totally max out the card. Not just the standard GPU, MEM and PLL control but control of the individual rails also. LLC. PWM frequency the list is endless.
Short a second jumper on the card opens up an even more interesting feature the memory heater!! Basically what this does under LN2 cooling is warm the memorys on the card to prevent cold bug. I will be testing this feature when I hit up full LN2 late next week. But this and the individual rail adjustment are features that will help on the 290X to hit absolutely max clocks under sub zero conditions."
On the Matrix GTX 780 Ti:
3DMark 11 Performance, World Record - 24155 Marks
- Matrix GTX 780 Ti at 1925/1850
- Rampage IV Black Edition with CPU at 6,270MHz for game tests and 6,210MHz for Physics.
