ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC sets new world record in Port Royal with 47,375 points

The ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC, a prime example of modern high-performance GPU technology, has once again catapulted the bar for the 3DMark Port Royal benchmark to an incredible 47,375 points. This is not just a record, it is a statement to the entire competition. But behind this huge figure lies not only raw performance, but also the precise craftsmanship of one of the best-known overclockers on the scene: Splave. And what makes this world record so remarkable? It’s not simply the fact that it was achieved, but how it was achieved, with liquid nitrogen (LN2), a cooling technique that has more to do with a daring experiment than everyday gaming practice.

Splave and his hunt for perfection

It’s no surprise that Splave is behind this success. The overclocker has proven countless times that he has not only mastered the art of overclocking, but has turned it into a true science. With the ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC Edition, a card designed for users who want to get more than just standard performance out of their GPU – he has taken the 3DMark Port Royal benchmark to new heights. The card, which is supplied by ASUS with a maximum clock speed of 2610 MHz, could be overclocked to an incredible 3.0 GHz with appropriate cooling and monitoring, which significantly increased performance. Despite these impressive values, the screenshot of the test only shows a boost of 3007 MHz, a clear indication of how much potential this card still has.

The art of overclocking with liquid nitrogen

The use of liquid nitrogen, a technique only used by the bravest (or most insane) enthusiasts in the overclocking world, was the deciding factor that helped Splave reach the magic score of 47,375 points. The physical properties of LN2 allow the GPU temperatures to be reduced to extremely low levels, allowing the card to run more stably at higher clock speeds. The resulting 219.33 FPS in the Port Royal benchmark is not only a technical masterpiece, but also a clear sign of the impressive advancement of the GeForce RTX 5090. This value is a whopping 31% above the average of the RTX 5090, whose Port Royal scores are usually around 36,000 points. A difference of 11,000 points, that’s the stuff legends are made of.

The significance of the 47,375 point record

But what does this record mean in the wider context of GPU technology? Well, it’s a clear indication of how far the development of GPUs has come. NVIDIA and AMD may be holding back in the shadow of this record for now, but the battle for the top spot in the world of overclocking is a merciless one. The competition never sleeps, so it’s no surprise that Splave’s record was beaten by OGS with its GeForce RTX 5090D (who previously held the record with 47,196 points) just days after the score was published. As quickly as records are set, they are also broken again. And yet the performance of the ASUS ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC remains an outstanding example of what is possible with the right technology, an excellent GPU and a pinch of craziness.

Conclusion

With the ROG Astral RTX 5090 OC, ASUS has brought a card onto the market that not only has what it takes to be a world record holder, but is also a gold mine for enthusiasts and overclockers. The fact that Splave has managed to push the RTX 5090 to the limit and beyond shows the potential of this GPU and the further development of the hardware. But while the “normal” gamer tends to hold back on these records, the overclocking market remains a playground for the brave and risk-taking among technology enthusiasts. The question of how long Splave will remain at the top remains open, but it is certain that this record will not be the last of its kind. Further proof that in overclocking, as in many other areas of technology, the boundaries are constantly being pushed.
