After a slow seven days last week, we have again golden cup victors this week. First up is K|ngp|n (US) with his World Record in 3DMark Fire Strike. His four NVIDIA Titan X Pascal GPUs are clocked at 2200/2920 MHz and combined with a Core i7 6950X at 5227 MHz, he's almost 800 points in the lead over second place Elmor. Naruto80 from Italy also scores a golden cup. He takes first place in the GPUPI for CPU 1B 6xCPU category with a Core i7 5820K clocked at 6258 MHz. In the hardware rankings we find Doc.Brown from France scoring a very smart golden cup outrunning the rest of the field in the XTU Core i7 6700 category. With 1386 points he is two points ahead of Chilli-Man. Congratulations everyone!
