The AD102 was the first GPU in history to be able to accelerate to 4GHz - then calculate 32 billion π digits in 45 seconds

The American enthusiast Allen Golibersuch, known as Splave, was able to overclock the GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card's graphics chip to over 4GHz. Thus, the overclocker has set a historical achievement.

Here's What We Know

The AD102 chip in the ASUS GeForce RTX 4090 ROG Matrix graphics card is the first GPU to ever hit the 4GHz mark. The Ada Lovelace generation GPU produced 4005MHz and 4020MHz in the GPUPI 3.3 32B and GPUPI 3.3 1B benchmarks, respectively.

The reference frequency of the AD102 video chip is 2520 MHz. Thus, Allen Goliberzah was able to increase the GPU frequency by 59% over this benchmark.

Liquid nitrogen paired with minor hardware modifications to the GeForce RTX 4090 ROG Matrix made it possible to keep the chip temperature at 34.6 degrees Celsius. The hottest point of the entire graphics card recorded a maximum temperature of 40 degrees Celsius.

Along with historical overclocking, ASUS GeForce RTX 4090 ROG Matrix set another record. In GPUPI benchmarking, the overclocked graphics card computed the π number to the nearest 32 billion decimal places in 45.402 seconds.
