The Galax OC TecLab team used a ‘budget card,’ though it was extensively modified to pull off the feat.
The Galax TecLab overclocking team have pushed the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 flagship to a record-breaking 3.45GHz. The team must be applauded for basing their world record on a ‘budget’ GeForce RTX 4090 board, as well as their success in completing a multitude of PCB mods which were instrumental in their extreme OC achievement.
Brazil-based TecLab are sponsored by Galax, but reports suggest they didn’t get a ‘golden sample’ of the RTX 4090, just a Galax SG (Serious Gaming) model from a line aimed at the ‘budget’ market. In the rush for overclocking gold, in the wake of the first Ada Lovelace architecture graphics card launch, TecLab team members were up all night modifying the graphics card PCB and liquid nitrogen cooling pot for their OC sessions.
