GPU News: A specially modified RTX 5070 Ti set a world record benchmark score.

Imagine finding an RTX 5070 Ti so damaged it looked like someone used it for target practice. That’s exactly what Brazilian modder Paulo Gomes and his crew stumbled upon, a GPU with a massive hole in the circuit board. Most of us would toss that into the e-waste bin. These folks? They decided to fix it with parts scavenged from an old RTX 2080 Ti and sheer stubbornness.

Instead of giving up, they:

• Reconstructed its power delivery system using a donor PCB (from an RTX 2080 Ti).

• Tamed erratic voltage drops by reinforcing power and ground paths.

• Switched motherboard platforms mid-stream to double data throughput.

• Tuned and overclocked the GPU and memory relentlessly, all while livestreaming the chaos for seven hours straight.

  
  

It’s like watching a Rube Goldberg machine get pumped full of caffeine, and somehow win.

Benchmark Blunderbuss: Record Setting by Any Means Necessary

After all that mad science, the resurrected RTX 5070 Ti didn’t just work, it crushed one of the

Top scores for its class:

Unigine Superposition 8K Optimized 11,150 points, enough to claim the highest recorded score for an RTX 5070 Ti on the HWBot charts.

That score wasn’t just some random number, it beat the previous leaderboard top for the card. And all this came from hardware that technically shouldn’t have worked at all. It’s like sprinting a marathon with one shoelace untied, and somehow still podiuming.

What Makes This So Wild (Geek Edition)

Let’s break down why this feat deserves more than a “lol nice”:

• 🎯 GPU core hit ~3.23 GHz, well above what most gamers ever see.

• 💾 Memory clocks reached ~34 Gbps, adding serious bandwidth.

• ⚡ Voltage instability issues mostly tamed, bringing drops from ~400 mV down to ~30 mV.

• 🔁 Live build and tuning session, no lab conditions, no pre-scripted magic. This was full-on hardware mayhem streamed in real time.

  
  

YouTube fail-compilation energy? Maybe. But with benchmark pastel charts slapped onto it? Absolutely.

Why This Matters (Beyond the Meme)

This isn’t just clickbait for hardware nerds, it highlights a few real takeaways for PC enthusiasts and overclockers:

✔️ Black sheep hardware still has value. Even a broken GPU can be coaxed into greatness with patience (and questionable wiring).✔️ Community overclocking is still a thing, and people are pushing silicon far past retail specs.✔️ Benchmark records don’t need $2,000 flagship cards — sometimes they just need stubborn humans and creative engineering.

And yeah… the fact that this monstrosity now holds a score record? It’s the kind of thing that makes you appreciate how weird, wild, and wonderfully chaotic PC hardware culture can be.

🧟‍♂️ TL;DR

A Brazilian modding crew brought a physically destroyed RTX 5070 Ti back to life using a donor PCB, power tweaks, and sheer grit, then pushed it to a world record-level Unigine Superposition 8K score (~11,150 points), despite looking like the GPU equivalent of a cobbled-together robot.
