A new 3DMark Port Royal world record has been set by ‘OGS’, a member of Greek team Hellas Overclocking. And, yes, before you ask, competitive hardware overclocking is indeed a thing. Just last week, we saw a ROG Astral RTX 5090 ‘smashing’ the Port Royal world record, something which ASUS was keen to boast about.
The previous record was set by well-known world champion overclocker Allen ‘Splave’ Golibersuch, who pushed the record to 47,375. Now, the record has been beaten by none other that the RTX 5090D, the cut-down version of Nvidia’s flagship graphics card. OGS’s new record brings the new high score up to 47,469.

As per usual with extreme overclocks, liquid nitrogen was used to keep the hardware as cool as possible under the conditions. OGS recorded the RTX 5090D being pushed all the way up to 3,570 MHz, which is 77% faster than its factory 2,017 MHz base clock speed. All that, with a refreshingly cool average temperature of 8 °C according to the detailed results.
The RTX 5090D is Nvidia’s China-market variant of the RTX 5090. Much like the 4090D before it, it was designed to comply with U.S. export restrictions. The 5090D has nearly 1,000 fewer AI TOPS than the 5090 due to cut-down Tensor Cores. Interestingly, both GPUs feature many of the same core specs, such as 21,760 CUDA Cores and 32GB GDDR7 512-bit memory running at 28 Gbps. The clock speeds and TDP are also the same, which essentially means there should be no difference in terms of extreme overclock tests like this running the synthetic 3DMark test.
Nvidia is also reportedly working a third version of the RTX 5090 after further U.S. restrictions caused RTX 5090D cards to stop being sold in China. Latest reports suggest that the revised “v2” model will feature 8GB less VRAM and will launch in August 2025.
