Just a slight word of warning on a second lightning, both with heavy overclocks might (depending on clock speed) slightly bottleneck a 3570k in games like bf3, could be an idea to plan a minor upgrade to an 8 thread chip![]()
That looks fine, your overall 'P' score is being held back massively by the 4 thread CPU though which is why in the grand scheme of things it might look a little low.
GPU score of 21k however looks sweet, some good scaling too, iirc a stock lightning single card hits around 10500-11000, so thats nearly 1:1 scaling on a dual card setup![]()
Well, I've been testing my card's core overclocking ability and I'm a little underwhelmed...
I can only stably get 1200Mhz on the core. Even if I boost the volts up to 1.35v in Afterburner, I cannot get anything stable over that without artifacts/crashing etc.
Also, my VRMs go up to 55c with 1.35v pumping through the 7970...
Haven't looked at memory overclocking yet but looks like my chip aint the best ;(
Anyone tempted?

Damn, been a few like this nowHave you tried both sides of the bios switch?
I hope I get a BE in return, have a hunch I won't get as good of a clocker as my last card.
