My ePowered 1660Ti finally got put on LN2 and officially became the most powerful 1600 card in existence. The highest frequencies it could run Heaven were 2720 core and 7600 mem (+700 core, +1500 mem). Insane!

It took gold in almost every test it ran. For some reason 3DMark2001 and Superposition 1080p where it didn’t were drastically lower scores than #1. I think were due to chip quality with the specific instability that caused this card to be an EVGA SC model instead of an XC. The first test in 2001 (boob jiggle spy chick) was artifacting like crazy where no other program was. Either that or some sort of legal optimization other competitors were doing to increase scores that I believe exists but forgot to put in the time to figure out.
Any scores that were close to Traktor or _12_ were mostly due to the 13900k having problems with any overclock (thinking it has a bad IMC). I had no choice but to leave it way too close to stock to run stable. So while theirs has a close score it’s mostly due to a decent CPU overclock on their system. But my massive performance gains on GPU made up for it and still beat them on a majority of tests. Just compare the GPU-only portions of the test scores. Had I a reasonably functioning CPU all test would have skyrocketed past their scores.
I would have gotten GPUPi as well, but I forgot to save the result file even though I got a screenshot. (you win this time you canadian bastard). Same with GPU-Z core frequency at the frequency in the title but didn’t actually run the little burner in there with the screenshot.
I only did the tests listed because I had limited time with limited LN2 so I went for the ones that got me points. Probably would have wiped the board had I more time/ln2.
The biggest problems I had while doing this was the memory getting cold. Before I figured out a way to attach a backplate heater it would coldbug anywhere around -50C, especially since the pot was right above two of the chips. Also with the ePower being right next to the pot’s opening it started getting it moist. It even shorted at one point only providing 2D power till a restart!

This is the kind of stuff that makes me remember why I subbed to this sub. Absolutely bonkers zombiecard!
Super necessary 😎
So cool. Congrats!
I remember back in the day a guy with a Radeon 9500 Pro would beat even the 9800 Pro in 3DMark01, it was because he would force the drivers to render wireframes or something to that extent. I mean he was just cheating for his signature on the forums, but maybe that’s why you are drastically less than #1, for that old benchmark.
I have always wanted to go back to like GeForce 4 days and modify everything to be the best it possibly could be, for old times’ sake.
Why does that eVGA voltage regulator card not need more heatsinks?
