EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 with flip-up LCD overclocked to 2.58GHz

Noted overclocker Vince "Kingpin" Lucido set a 3DMark world record by significantly overclocking his GeForce RTX 3090. He achieved 2.58 GHz with the benefit of liquid nitrogen (LN2) cooling on a card specially designed by EVGA.

Kingpin has been a longtime partner of EVGA, and the upcoming model bearing his online name is a hybrid cooling card with an all-in-one liquid cooling unit attached to a conventional air cooler. A pair of tubes moves the coolant to and from a 360mm radiator fitted with three fans. For reference, EVGA's hybrid GeForce RTX 2080 Ti has a 240mm radiator.

It also has a flip-up display mounted on the back, as seen in the photo Kingpin shared on Facebook. As for the card shroud, it is equipped with a single fan. Subjectively, it is quite an attractive graphics card.

Most of the finer details, such as power phase design, number of temperature sensors (there are 12 on the 2080 Ti model), and clock speeds have yet to be announced.

The 2,580 MHz achieved is impressive nonetheless, as Nvidia's Founders Edition RTX 3090 boosts to 1,695 MHz (up from a base clock of 1,395 MHz), 885 MHz from the reference boost configuration. This is an overclock of 885MHz from the reference boost configuration.

Paired with a liquid-cooled Intel Core i9-10900KF processor, Kingpin currently reigns atop Port Royal's 3DMark Hall of Fame with a Facebook-boasted graphics score of 16,673. Not surprisingly, the 3090 dominates the rankings, occupying all 100 spots on the leaderboard.

No word yet on when this card will be available or how much it will cost (if you plan to bring your LN2), only that Kingpin and EVGA have "worked extremely hard to get this card available sooner than any time in the last eight years of activity."
