what clocks are those at - I'm getting 5-600 lower on 1075/6100.
The other scores which are cpu affected on mine are much lower due to less cores and less ghz but I understand those.
That's the kind of score I expected with 2x Crossfire... I take it you're under water now, what clocks?

1180/1550
overclocking more than a single card will have to wait as GPU Tweak is a pain with AMD cards

Do I need to buy 3DMark? Long time since I've done benching.
For the run above you can use the free version of 3dmark11
My card arrived this morning.
My fire strike score was 9507 with the gpu on stock and my 2600k running at 4.4Ghz.

Just running 3d mark now. 1075/5900 although had to up volts slightly even for 5900. P.S GPU tweak is crap. Managed to keep the card fairly quiet though. Good case ventilation goes along way.

got mine for £4.00 a couple of months ago
Hi,
Just installed my card and ran 3dmark
Fire strike score: 9499 with the sapphire 290x at stock and intel i7 4770k at 4.4
Haven't touched the bios switch and max temp hit 94 degrees.
Are you guys running in uber mode and if so how can you tell which switch position is which? I can just see two positions with no labelling and it's currently switched to the left (nearest to rear of the case).
Noise isn't as bad as expected but I switched from an early sapphire 7970 with same reference fan. Whilst temp is hotter noise is comparable.

Here is my first run, nothing tweaked or clocked. 2500k @ 4.5Ghz. That look ok?

Thanks. Should also add my score was achieved with windows 8.1 x64 and latest beta 6 drivers.
Time to get a new CPU!
Puahed fan speed limit to 60% and ran at 1150/6000 and got an improved 3dm11 of P14399 - http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/7377353 but 3dm crashed on firestrike

Received mine this morning and had to send it back.
Its said the cooler is 66db at full whack. which doesn't necessarily bother me. but I kid you not the coil whine was louder than the cooler. It had coil whine at any sort of load which was louder than the cooler. There was no coil whine at idle. but as soon as any sort of load was put onto the card. It just screamed with coil whine.
Such a shame. I'll have to see if a different batch comes out later on, as I've read a lot of reports of coil whine.
Also when removing the card. I know the card runs at 95c. but OMG. the shroud (plastic) was near melting point. I couldn't touch it for a good 10-15mins after shutting down. I burnt my thumb
.
Every other GPU I've had has never been anything like that. I could switch my system off and instantly remove it without the card even feeling remotely hot.
