**Official 3D Mark 11 scores**

Yep, What you moving over to rusty? Saw the 680's up for sale...7950's or 7870's?

iirc my lightning came with 3 or 4 crossfire bridges of different lengths

7950's. No point going from 256 bit to 256 bit (7870's).

Also the added disadvantage of having the same card as humbug was too much to bear .

Spat my tea out reading that line lol

RIVE!! mate !!! I did vantage today 131 and 105.3 BLK will do more too much more but the CPU does not like much over 5.5ghz.

Nice, I ended up with an MSI Xpower II purely on the basis I managed to get it for less then a P9X79...as far as I can make out its the only board that even comes close to matching an Asus ROG X79 board, so hopefully I shouldn't be disappointed, which lets face it, as long as it doesn't have the massive droop issues my UD7 has then I'll be happy

 

[555BUK]

7870 @ 1350core/1450vram with a 2500K

Could probably bench higher but 12.11 drivers mean that I am restricted to CCC overclocks only (no voltage control and max 1450vram OC).

 

[pgi947]

Wow 1350 core and no voltage control!! You need moar volts and some water STAT!!.

It is unstable as hell at that speed, but can just about pass 3DMark11. I managed 1360core/1525core stable using CAT 12.10's and Afterburner with 1.3v, but CAT 12.11's are noticeably faster, even with lower clocks. Card is a high ASIC air cooled Gigabyte Windforce.

Very nice score Don't let Humbug see this or he will be chasing you down.

Highest 7870 and very nice OC on that I5.

 

[Nuclear Fusion]

£360 for the beast including original packaging. Not sure if I'm going to get told off for saying that outside the MM as I'm not technically selling just stating how much it's up for.

Are you changing to free up money or just fancied a change?

 

[Rusty0611]

Nope the fact 7950 crossfire should be faster in triple screen .

Meh!!! That is all

 

[Rusty0611]

No more spuds being thrown Gregster

 

[Nuclear Fusion]

Ah I see, I guess the extra memory bandwidth helps with triple screens?

It does. That is if he can get the drivers working or the cards working or CF working....or or or....I will think of more

 

[Tonester0011]

Did you never use 3D then Rusty?
We'd also have nearly the same setup when you get your new cards

 

[Rusty0611]

Yeah. The pooey AMD drivers meant that the 7970 wasn't all that much faster in triple screen before (faster but not by much).

Now it's night and day and I want to run a large overclock on my little babies when they arrive tomorrow and actually quantify the difference by benching my 7950's at an overclock which is roughly equivalent to 2 * 7970's with a normal overclock.

Make sense? No? Me either!

Very occasionally but nowhere enough to pass up on £150 ish by selling up now. I'm not in need of the money by any stretch but I'm also sensible and know when a good time is to sell up.

As a single card at 1080p you can't get better than my beast. It's a monstrosity!

Discounting Lightnings because we all know they're going to melt in a couple of months when the voltage starts degrading . 1300+ on stock volts is very, very rare for a 680.

Welcome to the 7950 club!
I noticed that we don't have any 7950 CF scores on this thread yet, so it'll be good to get some posted up. Will also be good to get some more 7950 scores generally

My fingers are hanging over the keys ready to add a CF 7950 score up

I eagerly await a nice CF score, make sure to get them nicely clocked up Rusty- might be able to beat my single card score as there is a good chance that at least one of your cards is a good clocker
Which 7950's did you buy?

 

[Rusty0611]

Twin Frozr III v2.

To be honest I'm more interested in triple screen performance than fighting it out for top 7950 dog spot .
