A month has passed since the release of the GeForce RTX 5090. The card is still in great short supply and is practically unavailable to regular gamers, and its price is significantly higher than the recommended $2000. But overclockers who got their hands on the new product do not stop trying to “squeeze” new records out of the card.

Asus’s in-house overclocker, Safedisk, managed to take the lead in various benchmarks using the GeForce RTX 5090 graphics card from Asus. The accelerator’s graphics processor was overclocked to 3480 MHz using liquid nitrogen and some non-standard settings. The overclocker overclocked the graphics memory to an impressive 34 Gbps per contact. As a reminder, the reference version has a GPU frequency of 2407 MHz and a memory speed of 28 Gbps.

Thanks to this, Safedisk set several world records in 3DMark tests:

• 3DMark Port Royal — 43,515 pounds;
• 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme – 58,393 points;
• Unigine Superposition 1080P Xtreme – 34,295 points;
• Unigine Superposition 8K – 23,311 points;
• 3DMark Time Spy Extreme – 28,717 points;
• GPUPI 32B — 41.673 sec.

Asus doesn’t plan on stopping there and wants to achieve even higher overclocking results when higher power limit BIOSes become available for its ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090.
