GALAX GeForce RTX 5090D HOF OC Lab tested under LN2 cooling: new 3DMark record king

GALAX's new mega-custom GeForce RTX 5090D HOF OC Lab Edition graphics card has broken multiple 3DMark world records, with the new GB202 "Blackwell" GPU cooled with LN2 cooling, and pushed 1GHz+ over stock GPU clocks. Check it out:

The Chinese-exclusive RTX 5090D HOF OC Lab Edition GPU was designed from the ground up to be pushed to its limits and punished on LN2-cooled bench systems, breaking world records with ease. Now we've got pro overclockers "OGS" and "Rauf" who have pushed GALAX's new RTX 5090D HOF OC Lab to its limits, using LN2 cooling and pushing the GB202 GPU to an insane 3.5GHz.

Both of these overclockers now hold the first and second positions on 3DMark FireStrike Extreme, TimeSpy Extreme, and other benchmarks, taking a lead over the regular RTX 5090 non-D. NVIDIA's fleet of in-house GeForce RTX 5090 Founders Edition through to custom AIB partner models, all use a single 12V-2x6 power connector, but GALAX takes power draw to another level with the RTX 5090D HOF OC Lab Edition with dual 12V-2x6 power connectors with the card designed to take up to 1000W of power.

The overclocker used the GALAX GeForce RTX 5090D HOF OC Lab Edition graphics card with a 1600W power supply, with the GB202 GPU clocking at a peak of 3.53GHz in Port Royal, compared to the 2.7GHz to 2.8GHz that the RTX 5090 Founders Edition is capable of spitting out.

GALAX doesn't even list its custom RTX 5090D HOF OC Lab Edition graphics card on its website, and I'm sure less than a handful exist, and they're all for professional overclockers who want to top benchmark leadership boards worldwide.
