7950 temps a bit too high?

If that was the case they'd recommend everyone use v-sync. Trust me v-sync causes input lag whether you notice it or not is a different story.

They is a big myth that vsync gives input lag. But the truth be told we all get affected diffidently. Its not just switching on Vsync will make you notice input lag, they is also input lag in the Monitor you use the Mouse and Keyboard you use.
No one setup will be the same and your display is the main thing you should look at when you notice input lag.
This is one reason why when I picked my LED/LCD TV I went and looked at reviews and them testing input lag and at the time my Philips TV was reported the fastest input and response time. input of just 12ms and a response time of 2ms.

So when someone says they dont noice input lag from vsync remember its not just Vsync ;)

Agreed Matt. On a 60hz screen I found capping FPS at 59 in BF3 worked very well. Not that I noticed much, if any lag without doing it.
Old habit from the 5870 I guess. Worked wonders on that in terms of framerate consistency.

I'm not sure if 58 actually removes any more input lag than 59, but thats what ive always gone with. :) One things for sure it lowers temps a bit more lol.

EDIT

I must confess that sometimes that means an extra 1 or 2 c off the vrm temps as well. I'll understand if this means we can't be friends any more.

My iiyama monitor is 1ms response time, wired gaming mouse and keyboard. I have no input lag without v-sync, when I put it on it's noticeable straight away for me, some games more than others.

I'm glad you didn't quote me then that post had a lot of mistakes.

I wish you hadn't quoted mine, as I hadn't finished writing it yet.

For future reference, nobody quote my posts for at least 5 minutes after it's posted. I always forget something. :o

Response time isn't Input lag ;) Response time is the time is take for a pixel to change from one color to another. Having a high Response time on a display will give a ghosting effect. This isn't the same has input lag so you will need to check reviews or test yourself to find the correct input lag time.

I got the monitor based on reviews that it doesn't suffer from input lag. My point here was nothing to do with my monitor it was that v-sync increases input lag on any setup.

I dont notice it they isn't a single game were I dont use it. screen tear is horrible when Vsync is off.
And having a 60hz Monitor and running games at 300FPS like you said on TF2 isn't going to make your game better because you can only see 60fps out of the 300 so the other 240fps is wasted and your GPU is working over time.

What is your Monitor Model number?
 
1.56v 1099/1401 3dmark 11 freezes after gpu test 1 in the middle of the 2nd test ;[
Not sure if I should get the voltage up or put the voltage up on the memory.

It did make me play better. I noticed it and I wasn't playing the game as much so it's not like I was practicing more.

Btw I have a 120hz monitor:

3dmark11i524007950.jpg

Heres a picture of my overclock, the max temp was 69c.
 
Ehh, this OC freezes on mw2 and 3dmark 2013...
I think its memory fault. Fed up with overclocking, its ok with crysis 3 and bf3 etc. but benchmarks or older games seem to freez. Which is pretty annoying...
My vram temps are always 24,25c I think the sensor is broken.
Anyone else could overclock the memories by much?
Tried 1400 on memory and still get those freezes...
