We're closing in on the last weeks of 2016 and preparing for the impact of Intel's upcoming Kaby Lake and AMD's new Zen architecture. It was a relatively slow week, but still we have three golden cups to celebrate in the Most Valuable Submissions overview. First up is K|ngp|n with a new Global First Place in the Catzilla 720P benchmark. With an NVIDIA Titan X Pascal overclocked to 2442/2960 MHz and a 5149MHz Core i7 6950X, he outpaces Racoon by about 1000 points. Luumi from Finland grabbed a golden cup in the 2x Radeon HD 3870 GDDR4 leaderboard with two cards at 996/1360 MHz. Last by not least we have Mllrkllr88 who also grabbed gold in a 3D benchmark. His 1080/1550 MHz water cooled Radeon HD 6970 paired with a Core i7 6700K at 4900 MHz pushed him to the top of the leaderboard. Congratulations to everyone!
