Valley or Heaven?

I found that I got zero scaling past two GPU's in Valley which was odd :/ However Heaven did scale for 3 GPU's

Valley

Valley @1080p is a useless bench for multi GPU setups as it bottlenecks them really bad. What I have noticed with the 290Xs is they are not as fast as the Titans and 780ti's on a one on one basis but they handle a bottleneck better. This means in theory that 3 x 290Xs against say 3 x 780ti's on the Valley bench could come out on top but you are going to need a fast CPU (over 5ghz) to test it.

It still struck me as odd that I got absolutely no scaling on the third GPU, my score was near enough the same as 2 gpu's (or even the same can't rememember exactly)

7*** series cards seem to scale better on trifire in Valley.

Here's my Classified at stock, as you're looking to get one. A touch slower.
