Cleaned up some off-topic posts in this thread.  Carry on.

So has anyone ended up getting on in and installed yet in their rigs?  Kind of want to see the eye candy!

I saw tresnugget's post on the tweeters.

Be great to see some benchmarks on the card.. currious. May even help sales one would think.

14,891 - Bone stock settings, no OC on the CPU, no XMP on RAM, Win 11, as much closed as possible:

15,299 - As high as I could push clocks only using the PX1 slider, 5.4 OC on the CPU, XMP on the RAM, Win 11, as much closed as possible:

Out of the box, not beating my best 3090 KP score of 15,919 (and that wasn't great):

I think I'm hitting a wall with voltage, need the classy tool to push it higher.  Also think the AIO is having trouble keeping up with the heat.  But need to swap out the stock fans, go push/pull to try and help.  Still deciding if I want to break down the AIO and try to hook it up to the open loop...

might need to bust out the air conditioner to feed the AIO. Also, does it need the copper shims (like the other hybrids) to keep memory temps down? Might be what's holding back your memory clocks. Those are what look to be quite a bit behind your other score. I would think your clocks are close enough to overtake the old score considering the extra cores...but I guess that's been the big question.

Will / won't the classified tool work on this card? , & you have not pushed the mem at all on your 299 run

Ah, good call. I just saw that the memory was much lower clocks than the old score, didn't see they were identical to the stock score.

Don't know if the classy tool will work on this card as well.  Haven't tried it.
 
Yah, I didn't touch memory at all yet.  Failed to mention that.  Was doing one thing at a time.  Was getting late and I just wanted to finish a run without crashing on the GPU.

Wow.. just wow. Was expecting a much higher score. Even my evga 3090 yltra can get over 15k in PR.

What temps were you seeing?

Average temp per both runs were  ~53-54C.
