ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC with LN2 cooling breaks 3DMark Port Royal world record

ASUS's flagship ROG Astral GeForce RTX 5090 OC graphics card has been chilled under LN2 and pushed to its limits by overclocker "Splave" to break the 3DMark Port Royal world record.

The 3DMark Port Royal world record now sits at a huge 47,375 points using the ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC and overclocker Splave, breaking the previous record set by overclocker OGS who used the GeForce RTX 5090D and 47,196 points: a record held for just a few days until Splave's new record was set.

Splave used LN2 cooling on his ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC Edition graphics card, with the overclocker hitting 219.33 FPS in Port Royal, a new world record for the RTX 5090. The average score for the RTX 5090 on Port Royal is a little over 36,000 points, so with a score of 47,375 we have a 31% increase over the average score... impressive stuff.

ASUS took to its social channels to brag up the score -- who wouldn't -- talking up its unique design of the ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC.

The flagship ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC has a default 2610MHz GPU clock out of the box, but with improved cooling and some manual overclocking you can easily push it over 3.0GHz, and while 3DMark Port Royal submission pages on HWBot show GPU clocks at the time of testing, Splave's points aren't shown.

In a screenshot of the world record posted, Splave has a GPU clock of 3007MHz, which is much lower than previous tests we've seen, as the GPU is capable of smashing close to 3.5GHz at times. We should expect new world records above this in the weeks and months ahead, so it'll be interesting to see how long Splave holds the 3DMark Port Royal world record.
