Hey system specs as followes.



Sabertooth 990fx
AMD Bulldozer 8150 OC 4.9Mhz
Vengance 1866 Ram (8 gigs)

MSI 7970
MSI 7970 OC

(both running at max oc)

I scored 9909Marks with just the MSI 7970.
I know its not a 50% increase with sli. but was expecting 1400 or so.

any ideas?
 
What's your graphics score with 2 7970's rather than your overall?

As your overall score is determined by your Physics and Combined score in addition to your Graphics score what you should be checking first is your Graphics score only.

What was your GPU usage during the 4 graphics tests? Just looks like a typical bottleneck tbh.

You'll have to find others who have paired two 7970s with a BD chip for a fair comparison, or run the tests in extreme, that should give a better idea on actual graphics performance.
 
ok will have to have a browse.

From a 4700 oc to a 4900 oc on chip dident make a lot of difference on Graphics score. so not convinved its CPU

could the ram be a big part of it? 1866mhz (is it worth upgrading)?
 
That score is too low. With max OC on both cards (assuming 1150 on the core) you should be hitting at least 18500-19000 Graphics score. One thing I have noticed with 3dmark11 is it will scale both GPU's very very well, even on a lower chip.
 
just checked 3dmark 11 results

based on my chip and cards the score is actualy good. if anything top 100 of same spec machines :)


but the Intel chips are scooreing a lot higher marks Graphics and Physics! :(

Think iv'e cocked up, on ebay the board and chip go...:'(
 
on 2600k the graphic scores are double what im getting!

23000 + Scores from them..

this dosent make any sense!

with my 4900 Clock speeds on CPU against a 2600k!
 
another anoying thing is the frame rate..

the frame rate of 3dmark overall has nearly doubled when watching the test... yet results dont show it!
