Gunslinger (US) Breaks 3DMark Fire Strike (Extreme) Global First Place Records w/3x Kingpin Edition GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Cards

Today we bring you news regarding some very nice work from US Elite overclocker Gunslinger. Using 3x Kingpin Edition GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Cards he managed to break the 3x GPU ranked score records for both 3DMark Fire Strike and Fire Strike Extreme. Let’s take a look at the new Global First Place scores and the rig that was used in a little detail.

The rig used by Gunslinger was centered around an ASRock X299 OC Formula motherboard that was fitted with Intel’s latest and greatest HEDT processor, the Skylake-X architecture Intel Core i9 7980XE. The 18-core, 36-threaded beast was pushed under liquid nitrogen to a pretty incredible 5,650MHz which is a whopping +117.31% beyond its stock base frequency. The CPU was joined by 3x EVGA Kingpin Edition GTX 1080 Ti cards, each with their Pascal-based GPUs pushed to 2.1GHz, which is +41% beyond stock settings. Graphics memory was also pushed to 1,575MHz (+14.89%) with G.SKILL DDR4 system memory configured at 1,917MHz (16-16-16-34).

In the 3DMark Fire Strike benchmark, Gunslinger used the above rig to submit a score of 50,043 marks, the highest ever using 3x graphics cards and 4th ranked overall. In the 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme, he used a slightly lower CPU frequency of 5,603Mhz (+115.5%) to make a Global First Place score of 37,805 marks, also the fastest ever score with three cards and the eighth highest ever.

You can find scores from Gunslinger in the links above. You can also check out the Gunslinger profile page where you can also look at several other scores made during the same session using the same rig. These include several Hardware Cups in 3DMark Vantage Performance, 3Dmark Time Spy and Time Spy Extreme plus the 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra benchmark. I’m guessing this guys had a pretty fun weekend. Hats off sir!
