Nah that's the limit, 1300Mhz crashes. I can clock a bit higher on Sky Dive than Firestrike for some reason. I did complete the run without any artifacts though. (that i could see anyway) I've not tried increasing AUX, just using +200mv. The hotter my gpu's get the less points they score, unsurprisingly. Not helped by both my cards having Elpida as well so that always costs me points vs Hynix/Samsung memories. Need to wait now for a new driver or a cold day/winter to improve my scores. :)

When I used custom settings @1600p and had all 4 cards going flat out the power draw must have been huge (I will measure it when I get the time) as the whine from the coils gives it away when the cards are using a lot. It was the loudest most consistent coil whine I have ever heard from the cards.:D

Haha id love to mate but the other half won't let me spend more money on computer parts at the moment. I'm hoping to add a third (cheap second hand) 290P further down the line though. Never tried Tri Fire so eager to see if it works as well as crossfire does. Won't be breaking any records with reference cooled tri fire setup, but in Mantle games i will chug out more fps than you can throw a stick at. :)

Now that I've got some drivers with support thought I'd have a proper go at this one :D

Score 40344
Graphics 64179
Physics 16081
Combined 26506

Looking down, or should that be up ;), the score board it seems that AMD have the upper hand with this one.

Edit: and Ivy-E seems to have the beating of Sandy-E clock for clock

Overall score 28178
Graphics score 64305
Physics 8463

Lol my cpu really lets me down on the physics score.

Amd Sappire 290 in crossfire @ 1000/1300
I5 3570K @ 4.4
14.6 Official Driver

Could probably gain a lot if I overclocked my cards more but that will do for now.

3DMark Score: 26312
Graphics Score: 53662
Physics Score: 8165
Combined Score: 17676

43IbTEZ.png

CPU: i5 2500k @ 4.6GHz

GPU: 2x nvidia GTX 770 1186/1865

IMO I wasn't very impressed with this test, the demo was ok.

EDIT>> How do I get a Graphics score of 53k and a combined of 17k and gareth170 above gets a Graphics score of 27k and a combined score of 20k??? I know my physics is lower(don't know why) but that's a big difference!!

EDIT 2>> So apparently my SLI 770's GFX score has beaten SLI Titans...

17. GPU nvTitan @876/1502, GFX Score 53398, Physics Score 11677, Combined Score 19280, CPU 3930k @3.5, Gregster - Link

I'm really not sure I trust the integrity of the way 3DMark is scoring at all!!! Unless I'm getting really confused, his combined score is lower than gareth170 above again even though Gregster is higher in every other department?

Physics and the Combined score play a big part in the overall score. i7 quads have a big advantage in this and hexcores even more so.
