is 1700 without messing with voltage etc as i dont wanna go down that route

Yes, you don't need to mess with the volts for 1700Mhz. is that 1611 Heaven score at stock, or overclocked?

rabc1690 · 3 Feb 2013 at 14:14

its at stock speeds as i just reset everything. had problems with my mobo this morning and thought i had fried it but managed to get it running by taking bios battery oput and leaving it umplugged for 10 mins.

so i assume that by oc the cpu i may get a slightly higher score then

so slowly start working up the memory clocks untill i get a decent setting then??? say 25mhz at a time and run heaven 11

Yes, 1611 sounds right for the Tahiti 7870 at stock, i think mine is about 1500 at stock.

when you have your new Drivers installed run it again at 1050Mhz.

PS: Did you get 1200Mhz on the GPU without overvolting?

Edit, 50Mhz at a time on the memory

the only thing i changed was power limit to 20%. so u want me to put 1 gfx card at 1050 and run heaven 11???

Unique Heaven 3.0, yes please.

Can you put up a screen shot of the result when your done? and GPU-Z.

I use Photobucket for Image hosting.

rabc1690 · 3 Feb 2013 at 14:33

i shall do it again as for some reason this time the card only scored 1411 lol gimme 5 mins and all put up a screen shot

rabc1690 · 3 Feb 2013 at 14:46

heres the screenshot for u dont understand why its a lower score than what it is on stock

humbug · 3 Feb 2013 at 14:50

Can you put up a GPU-Z picture please, like this...

GPU-Z is here... http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2198/TechPowerUp_GPU-Z_v0.6.7.html

PS, you have an A-10 5800K APU?

rabc1690 · 3 Feb 2013 at 14:51

nb gimme 2 mins

rabc1690 · 3 Feb 2013 at 14:54

here u go mate remember i only have 1 card enabled at the moment

rabc1690 · 3 Feb 2013 at 14:57

yeah its an a10 5800k which i cant for the life of me manage to get past 4.1 no matter what. was told if i could oc it i would get higher score in heaven 11

humbug · 3 Feb 2013 at 14:59

Let me just fire up Heaven run.....

PS: are you trying to xFire with the APU or do you have 2 7870's?

CPU overclocking is something different, we can deal with that later...

rabc1690 · 3 Feb 2013 at 15:04

its 2 x vtx3d hd 7870's i have i have onboard gfx disabled

I think it is the CPU that needs overclocking to allow the 7870's to stretch their legs.

rabc1690 · 3 Feb 2013 at 15:07

also how long does 3dmark 11 run for???

how do i go about that?? i can get to 4.1 using the multi but 4.2 wont boot which is strange given its supposed to have a 4.2 turbo out the box. i have an all in 1 water cooler, coolit eco alc, so thought i could get 4.6 easy as most people seem to get that on air

Sorry, I know nothing about AMD CPU's (they smell like old people is all I know).

I have never been a fan of the auto overclocking though and manually setting volts and timings is always more efficent. Humbug is the man with "All things AMD" and I am sure he will help you get it stable.

cheers mate needa see if i can get him to reply on here haha

Heaven is not that CPU intensive, i can't see it making that much difference, gregster, tho i will concede i'm really struggling to understand what going on here, you may well be dead right...

We can take this in to the CPU room and try that, but first...

@ rabc, assuming you did not touch any of the settings in Heaven, ran it as is, which is what i just did at the same GPU settings as you, and well, i more than doubled your score on a lesser GPU, you should be getting more than me.

I'm looking at the 5800K's iGPU and thinking, "is that whats actually running?" but the score, i think is to high for it.

Can you disable the iGPU in the BIOS?
