It'd be more like 3-5FPS at my resolution most likely lol
 
Seems I got 2130-2160MHz "stable" now, set it to 1062mV locked curve, no unusual "artifacts" in game & no crash for over 2 (almost 3) hours of mostly RT-on play - 493W maximum draw, temps were "acceptable", albeit warmer than I'd prefer, 55C peak core (which makes sense because that's basically the lowest "stock voltage", with a 120MHz OC), mem peak temps in the 52-68C range (Junction got to 74C, so 2-4C higher than with the lower OC, but I'm also running +250 vRAM clock for an evenish 10002MHz effective clock), VRMs were nice & normal at 41-57C.  Hopefully the vRAM & such temps will come down a little once I get those lil' heatsinks on the backplate, vertical the thing & strap a fan to them, at the very least, I imagine it'll help a little bit.  Having a more detailed idea of what the backside layout of the PCB is helps determine where putting those will help the most.
 
GPU radiator exhaust temp got up to 40C - with push/pull but the "pull" fans were at 1100RPM - have a feeling I could get the load temp & such lower with a bit higher fan speed (topped out at ~1900RPM on the intake/push fans, those fans can go to 2200), but all those peaks were also with an ambient of 73F before I started cooling it back down in here.
 
I'll have to do some testing to see what the difference if any is from 2100MHz @ 1025mV to 2130-2160MHz @ 1062mV in terms of FPS at this giganto-resolution, probably not worth the ~5C increase in temps or the extra power draw.  But it's nice to know the card could apparently run that all the time, if I wanted it to.

A little bit better than before but still very limited by temps. Can't wait to get the waterblock.

There really is a first time for almost everything... from saying vertically mounting GPUs is silly to:
 

 
:-D Bracket that came with my case for vertically mounting is incompatible with the riser cable... so it's being suspended purely by the 2 slot-bracket screws & the lil' insert nubs.  Riser cable is completely free - but stock vs stock without the cable, scored about the same at stock clocks - and thanks to some lil' heatsinks installed on the back of the card temps are even a bit better too (4-6C cooler on 2 of the 3 Memory iCX sensors and cooler across the board by 1-2C elsewhere, probably mostly as a result of less PCB heatsoaking from the vRAM).
 
I need more heatsinks though, this is almost the entirity of the kit I received - I thought they would be bigger O_o not height wise, but like... size wise. lol
 

 
They're on via thermal tape, so I couldn't re-align them to be all nice & neat, but it definitely seems like they're doing a decent enough job based on those temp drops on comparable runs.  There is an EK Vardar fan behind the GPU (in between it & the riser cable, lol) blowing air over the lil' heatsinks.
Not bad for $11 invested in aluminum. lol

Great Score! I see you were running at a temperature of 1C?
Now that is "Getting it Colder".

A bit temp limited here as well with SL120s in push/pull (all other cooling stock), this was in a 60F room with the window open to a 46F evening outside. 15,620, pretty happy with this #62 on the HOF tbh!

Also, 12,252 Time spy extreme graphics score, for #28 on the HOF :)

To get to these numbers I gained about 4% by reverting my RAM to just about stock XMP, it had a mild OC before that must have been unstable!
