The Galax RTX 5090 D HOF XOC Edition is gripping gamers’ attention, mainly for its unprecedented BIOS that sets a theoretical peak power limit of 2,001 W. This astonishing figure has emerged from overclocking forums where screenshots purportedly display a BIOS awarded to participants of a Galax overclocking contest. While 2,001 W is a stunning threshold for a graphics card, it’s largely symbolic as the card’s real consumption limit is capped at 1,000 W purportedly to avoid catastrophic failure.

The card is designed with extreme specifications, featuring dual 16-pin 12V-2x6 connectors, a 12-layer PCB, and a 38-phase power delivery system to support intense overclocking. Enthusiasts leveraging this BIOS have already achieved remarkable results, with Team OGS reportedly pushing the card to a 3,650 MHz core frequency, surpassing typical performance benchmarks.

While the overclocking community continues to flourish around such radical upgrades, securing this BIOS and the card itself is no easy feat, making it a coveted find among hardware enthusiasts.
