Elmor and Kinc to blame

Asus' Radeon HD 5870 Matrix managed to get quite some fame rates and has proved that it is indeed an overclocking beast. Elmor and Kinc, the guys that are known well on XtremeSystems forums, managed to push the GPU of this card all the way from 894MHz (850MHz for the reference card) to a quite impressive 1525MHz.

The memory on the card was overclocked to 1300MHz (4.9GHz effective), but it is nowhere close to the GPU clock. The best part of this overclock is that the card didn't die at 1525MHz but also managed to run stable at 1500MHz, just a notch lower clock and score P29342 in 3Dmark Vantage.

The rest of the setup included Intel's Core i7 980X Extreme Edition running at 4492.9MHz and at 1.52V, Asus Rampage III Extreme motherboard, 6GB of Corsair Dominator GTX DDR3 memory and powered by Antec 1200W PSU.
