Geforce RTX 4090: Galax HOF breaks 20 benchmark world records thanks to nitrogen cooling

With each new generation of hardware, there are also new opportunities to eclipse previous world records. That’s exactly what the Nvidia board partner Galax has done: With the Geforce RTX 4090 Hall of Fame (HOF) the company has now set 20 new benchmark world records. Specifically, the extreme overclocker Tobias Bergstrom (“Rauf”) was responsible for the results.

3.5 GHz thanks to nitrogen

According to the announcement released by the Galax OC team, the Geforce RTX 4090 Hall of Game was powered by the nitrogen cooling shown above for the record results. This made extremely high clock rates of around 3.5 GHz on the GPU and 1.5 GHz on the GDDR6X memory possible. For comparison: Normally, the RTX 4090 “only” runs with a boost clock of 2,520 MHz, while the memory is operated at 1,313 MHz.

This extremely high clock was then enough to break previous records in a total of 20 benchmarks. Among them are nine variations of 3DMark, five of Catzilla, four of Unigine and finally two GPUPI. At least for the time being, the model should hold the records: AMD’s upcoming competing products are likely to be a bit slower, and so far Galax’s HOF is unique among the RTX 4090 graphics cards.

In concrete terms, Galax is the only board partner so far to install two 12VHPWR power connections on the GPU, which means that the power consumption – at least theoretically – can reach four-digit ranges. There is also a power supply with 28+4 phases and a special LN2 BIOS. The RTX 4090 Hall of Fame is currently aimed at extreme overclockers more than any other custom design. In the future, however, other Nvidia board partners will probably also offer similar designs, which could then possibly dethrone the HOF graphics card.
