That's a monster 7970. I had two 7970 Lightning BE's and neither could hit over 1200

Just a 290 gaming..
Although I'm liking the 290 tbh I'm finding it very inconsistent. It seems to work really well or really badly. BF4 with or without mantle is just not smooth lots of stuttering that is not there with the 780.
I think I will try some older drivers and see if they make a difference.
Yeah. i'm more worried about Kaap now, his scores look low for a 290X
Here is mine at 1125/1450
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/2866026
Score 10719
AMD Radeon R9 290X(1x) @1125/1450
Intel Core i7-4930K @4.0
Graphics Score 12240
Physics Score 13026
Combined Score 4878
Doing the sums again 12240 / 2816 * 2560 = 11127
I would say your Firestrike scores are spot on, don't forget the 4930k I am using is running a single card @PCI-E 3.0 X16 which gives me a few extra points.
Have you disabled Dices frame pacing? Cos they've implemented it (yes even for single cards on Mantle) and it causes more harm than it does good on single card. Type (or place into a user.cfg file) RenderDevice.FramePacingMethod 0 and hit enter.

If you can run Valley at a higher resolution it is a great CPU leveller and gives the GPU a chance to show what it can do.

This the fastest 7970 Monster

Beat me by a mile...
Don't play BF4 in DX at all now. haven't done for ages.
I tested out Crysis 3 yesterday. everything, including Texture on Very High and 4x SMAA. i didn't expect it to do it, not with 4x SMAA. so i was pleasantly surprised that it did, and rather well. 40 to 70 FPS. very smooth.
I'm going to play it all over again, just to admire how good it looks with those settings.

Ok, thanks Kaap
Decided I'm going to sell one of my cards. I've been giving them a fair whack all day and honestly they're too noisy and it isn't worth it at 1080p. My top card's fan needs to spin to ~90% T_T
Don't buy a 3 slot card for crossfire I guess Lesson learned.

Yeah they do need room to breathe. We're sorry to see you leave the crossfire club.

Yep, I should have gone with the Tri-X's to be honest. Oh well
I'll keep this until AMD's next big chip
If I use 2xMSAA on BF4 I still get over 100fps, so no worries
This is what I get in valley Humbug.

My GPU was at a solid 99% for the majority of the test. I saw one dip, my min FPS was 28.2 but this odd spike occurs which drops it down to what you see in the screenie.
GPU voltage hit a max of 1.219v
Bumped up the core to 1150MHz

Strangely this time around the gpu hit 100% usage...
Core voltage hit a max of 1.273v
All tests were with cat 14.3 betas and msi afterburner beta 19

If you can keep the temps low enough then yes. I'd personally stick to 100mv or 125mv or lower if on air though. The more voltage you add, the lower the vrms need to be kept to keep optimum efficiency. I don't know the specifics though im afraid.
Which card? does it have good VRMs and VRM cooling?
He's obviously talking about the card you both own.
Yeah
I heard Trixx can go up to +200mV so was thinking of giving it a go.
Oh its you
lol.... didn't read user name
