ASUS GeForce RTX 4090 ROG MATRIX GPU Shown Running At Monster 4230 MHz Clocks, Consuming 300W At Idle 2

Overclockers continue to showcase their skills with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU, making it reach never before seen clock speeds. The latest record clock comes Allen Matthew, aka SPLAVE, who was the first to breach the 4 GHz record and is now back with even higher clocks.

The ASUS GeForce RTX 4090 ROG MATRIX graphics card is the first to achieve a 3D benchmark while being overclocked to 4 GHz. Following this feat, overclocker, CENS, also posted a new OC record with the Colorful iGame LAB which hit clock speeds beyond 4090 MHz. Although this is without any 3D load, it looks like SPLAVE wants to keep the frequency record to himself and has now pushed the ROG MATRIX even further.

The overclocker has shown a brand new screenshot from his ASUS GeForce RTX 4090 ROG MATRIX GPU which can be seen running at 4230 MHz. That's a 68% higher clock speed versus the reference 2520 MHz. To set this record, LN2 cooling was used and what's important here is that the GPU was idling at 300W. That's 66% of its entire 450W Default TDP budget. It is not known if SPLAVE was able to run some 3D load on such high clock speeds but it would've definitely sipped over 1000 Watts of power with ease.

But that's not all, Allen (SPLAVE) also broke various world records in what he calls the "Rampage World Tour" of the ASUS GeForce RTX 4090 ROG MATRIX GPU. The various world records include SuperPosition 1080p and SuperPosition 8K. The card was running in excess of 3.9 GHz at gaming loads which is very impressive. You can see the screenshots below and the HWBOT listings here & here.

It's fascinating that only a few months ago we were hoping to see the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 GPU hitting 4 GHz clock speeds and now we are fast approaching the 4.5 GHz clock speed barrier. This not only shows the capability of NVIDIA's Ada Lovelace GPU architecture but also the true power of TSMC's 4N process node which is an optimized version of its 5nm node designed for NVIDIA.
