MSI RTX 5090 32G Lightning Z Sets 3DMark Record at 51663

Overclocker Cmaker has set a new world record in the 3DMark Port Royal benchmark using an MSI RTX 5090 32G Lightning Z graphics card. This achievement matters to enthusiasts who track the absolute limits of hardware performance under extreme conditions. The record-breaking score demonstrates the potential of liquid nitrogen cooling when paired with high-end components.

Overclocker Cmaker pushes GPU frequency to 3623MHz using liquid nitrogen cooling

The system relies on the MSI RTX 5090 32G Lightning Z, a limited edition model originally priced over $5000. Cmaker pushed the GPU frequency to 3623MHz, which is 848MHz higher than the default maximum boost frequency of 2775MHz. This significant clock increase allowed the card to achieve a score of 51663 points in the benchmark test.

Record Specifications

• GPU Frequency: 3623MHz
• Default Max Boost Frequency: 2775MHz
• 3DMark Port Royal Score: 51663
• Reference Card Score: 36389
• Performance Improvement: 42%

The performance gap between the modified card and the standard reference model is substantial. The reference RTX 5090 FE scored 36389 points in the same test. The overclocked MSI card outperformed the reference version by 42%, highlighting the impact of extreme cooling and frequency tuning on benchmark results.

The test rig included an Intel Core i9-14900KF processor and 32GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory. A Corsair 1500W power supply provided the necessary energy for the high-draw components. We looked at Colorful iGame Shadow II DDR5 Hits earlier while tracking Msi launches.

Cmaker confirmed the record with a score of 51663 points using the liquid nitrogen-cooled MSI card. The data establishes a clear performance hierarchy between the custom overclocked unit and the factory reference design. This result stands as the current verified peak for this specific benchmark configuration.
