Firestrike Standard Bench.

Yeah tried all the usuals, even resorted to a clear CMOS. Seems to be isolated to Firestrike though, both GTAV and TR seem to be scaling as well as per. Both GT1 and GT2 seem to topple out at 147fps, really strange
 
Hmm, tempted to see what I can get my 5930k to, @ 4.625 @ 1.3v at the moment, but cautious about pushing the volts much higher as unsure as to how much of an issue it may cause for the lifespan of the card.

My temps are fine as it's in a custom loop, but perhaps a little too cautious!.

Since you're on water i'd say up to 1.4v is more than fine :).
 
Well beat my last score of 8106..

7950 @ 1166/1625 / 2700K @ 4.5Ghz

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/7910551? 8259

I think im gona try and clock my 2700K up to 5Ghz again sometime for a better physics score. Maybe try and see if my RAM will do a 1T Command Rate too.

:)

Btw this bench on Windows 10 again with the latest 15.200.1046.2 driver.

You have me beat on the GFX score, i used to hit 1200+ but now it gives me a proper disco light effect, 1166 is all i can push it to with very small amounts of artefacts and i have no chance of getting higher on the memory, it craps out at around 1650 now, if i get my 2700K @ 5.0Ghz again i should pass 8400 though. Gona load up my 5.0Ghz BIOS profile on Win 10 when i get the time and see if 10 plays nicely with it lol
 
Mine doesn't overclock like it did before either. I'm sure my older scores were at 1200 and I got 1250 out it. Now if I try to use clocks like that it just bombs.
Have you checked the card fur dust? Mine was clogged right up it helped a bit removing it from the grills and fans. Didn't realise how bad it had gotten and I think it was having an adverse effect when adding voltage.

Cracking 7950 score btw.
 
Managed a 5.0Ghz overclock earlier :D

7950 @ 1166/1625
2700K @ 5.0Ghz

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/7918573?

8353 with AMD Radeon HD 7950(1x) and Intel Core i7-2700K Processor
Graphics Score 9353
Physics Score 12704
Combined Score 3608

@Lokken86 Even more of a cracking score now :)

Not sure whats going on but i suspect that a CPU overclock seems to play better with Windows 10 than on my Windows 7 install.

Just seems more stable and cooler temps.

Hmm..

What sort of increase did windows 10 give you. Some people reported a couple hundred points extra. How about you?

Yup pretty much the same, couple of hundred or so, my GPU runs a degree or 2 cooler in 10 when idle too. I guess the less overhead thing helps :)
 
Hi Kaap, been bored so had a play, focused on the vram.


7950 @ 1010/1,750
Phenom II 940 @ 3.6

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/7927869?

Score 6573
Graphics Score 8160
Physics Score 5279
Combined Score 3144

It's an odd little card I have all stock volts on core and mem, having issues raising the vcore and keeping the heat down, think it's the unusually high ASIC of 90.1%. Still [email protected] seems pretty okay to me. I may strip down the HS&F and reapply the thermal paste, I suspect I was over liberal with it last time.
