Revo, I'd manually set the fans quite high than relying on Auto for benching, more so for SLI when you acquire your new card.

Btw, appears the 7970/7950 has zapped demand for the GTX590 otherwise why is there non listed (?), plenty of GTX580s though (£400 average price). Some good scores too of the GTX590.

I was checking the official tables and noticed that one of them may be SLI than what was typed: "44. Mrnob (GTX570) - 2138". A single GTX570 scores an average of 1200 points which makes it seem possible it's SLI.
 
HD7970 @ 1195/1600 (core/mem) 1.3V Core - System 2600K @ 4.6Ghz - All CCC settings untouched

Hmm.. raising core 5 and re-running gets much better min fps but not much better score.

So here @ 1200/1600 (core/mem)

No graphical glitches, but fan at 50% and case fans pushing max air in and out of the case near the card. Really for long term sanity a waterblock at these speeds makes sense.
So, min fps is just luck really, I think it depends how long you let it run the demo before you start the bench, probably cacheing textures perhaps.

You're making me want to swap my gtx470's so bad... :mad:
 
Just ran usuing Quadfire, and proves how the drivers suck, will post piccie later as at work, but last night got 57fps average @5760x1080 and highest recorded was 112fps. To put this in perspective, when I had trifire I got 47fps average and 100fps maximum... so just to show it's not scaling as well as trifire which we all knew.
 
Well, in quadfire@5760x1080, managed... and temps were toasty on default settings highest hitting 95C then the fans really kicked in...

Quadfire v's Trifire... 18% improvement in average fps and 10% improvement in maximum fps. Certainly not the scaling you got from single > dual > tri 6970's... proving drivers are just crud on quadfire.

Sorry to moan but I'm glad I didn't check this page update on my phone, that 2MB image would have used up the rest of my allowance for the day on pay as you go. Please save as a progressive GIF (80% quality with IrfanView) for a 520KB image, this maintains the text quality of Afterburner OSD and looks identical in quality on my calibrated screen. If everyone saved and posted PNGs these pages would slow to a crawl. Thanks :)
 
Changed my post for the people with slow internet connections, as for data usage why would you view a post you knew was going to have images inside when 2MB would send you over.
