I want to see how these perform and share with you guys, what games/software should I be testing?

Games wise I have BF3, Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider and Sleeping Dogs.

I have Fraps to test the FPS on.

I'd like to compare my results to other configs out there.

Any help is appreciated

Cheers

Good idea Andy. May i recommend using built in game benchmarks where at all possible for consistency. Though if you would prefer to play each actual game then fair enough. Make sure you to document your settings and use the highest preset available would be my suggestions. Ensure your cpu is highly overclocked where possible to remove cpu bottlenecks.

As per my benchmarking thread, i used the following benchmarking runs for Battlefield 3 and Crysis 3.

Battlefield 3 -
Bioshock - Used in game benchmark
Crysis 3 -
Tomb Raider - Used in game benchmark
Sleeping Dogs - Used in game benchmark

You can use the benchmark template Greg kindly made for me if you like. :)

I would hold on the multi-screen results as they wont be good on Eyefinity until the new driver is out.

Recent test on Hardocp of 3x7970 against dual 780s and dual Titans was not pretty.
 
Not sure what to make of the results tbh. I didn't tinker with any settings prior to benchmarking, just stuck the games in eyeinfinity and did it.

Crysis I had to completely disable AA otherwise it was just running at 0FPS, lol.

Sleeping Dogs although in EyeInfinity mode didn't seem to have anything showing on all three screens so not sure it benchmarked correctly anyway.

I have nothing to compare these too so none the wiser at the mo :)

Maybe it would be better getting some 3DMark software and test that way.

Nothing wrong with it...

Good work nonetheless Andy, although, I think I need to get me a pair of those shades...
 
Something's not totally right there Andy. I get considerably better results with my 7950 crossfire set-up over clocked.

I would suggest using msi afterburner and adding the overlay to monitor all gpu's. You want to see gpu usage, core clocks, mem clocks, voltage etc etc. That way you can make sure all is working as intended.

I notice you also left your cpu at stock. Not ideal you want to be over clocking that to remove any potential bottlenecks. Nonetheless that should not be the reason for worse results.

Did you disable ULPS? Are all gpu's seeing good and consistent usage? Have you tinkered with your page file?
