Overclockers have managed to achieve a startling 3GHz clock speed with the Galax RTX 3090 HOF, no small feat against the cards 1.39 GHz base clock. Not only that, the card's smashed multiple other world records to boot.

On the Galax site, the HOF is listed with a 1.8 GHz boost, although it will go beyond that with Nvidia's GPU Boost in play. But thanks to the use of liquid nitrogen cooled setups, and GPUPI software, both OGS from "HwBox Hellas OC Team," and Rauf from "Alza OC" have managed to overclock their limited edition GPUs to 3.0 GHz, and in record time.
According to Videocardz, tests that relied on more complex computations saw those figures drop to around 2.8 GHz, but it goes without saying that this is still an incredible feat. Not just the numbers, but the timescale, too.
It took overclockers some two years to get an RTX 2080 Ti running at these kinds of speeds, so to have achieved this already—even before the HOF is set to go on sale—is a very good sign of things to come for these top-tier cards.
The GPU-Z sensor tab benchmark has OGS' RTX 3090 boost clock logged at 2,805MHz boost, meaning true clock speeds of 3,015MHz using the 1B test on GPUPI 3.2.
Rauf, on the other hand, managed 2,795MHz, with its true clock at 3,000MHz. That's with the same test, but on the 3.3 version of the GPUPI software.
