Firestrike Ultra 4K Bench.

Here's mine, looks a little low to me, what ya think??

Your graphics score looks about right

You are running 25mhz faster than the 295X2 on the core but 275mhz slower on the memory. I suspect that memory speed plays a part on this bench as LtMatt has better memory on 2 of his cards and scores a lot more on graphics than I do.

Depending what you are using it for a 295X2 can have an advantage over 2 separate cards as the two GPUs talk to each other before going through a single x16 PCI-E 3.0 slot.

I noticed that the GPU usage isnt pinned at 100%. Might have some throttling going on...

Temps are fine so no throttling there and I've turned my O/C down from my 1150/1400 max as I get minor glitching in 3dmark. What else could cause throttling?

Not really got much more room for O/Cing memory but not tired on these drivers, even though MSI has decent memory it doesnt seem to O/C as much as one would think.
I will try upping the memory later to 1450 see what happens.

None of my systems have ever been any good at benching, I see scores on here with the same hardware and think HOW!!!

I dont know how widely known this is... But memory clocks will scale with core voltage.

Thanks. It might be the memory clocked to 1700 more than Windows 10. I don't think mine will take much more before she blows either. :)

That's a good point. I forgot about your mem OC... Mine do 1625 tops, and I had to run 1600 on this or they'd blackscreen when returning to 2d clocks (at least I think that's what happens) more often than not at 1625 :rolleyes:
Hynix ain't always the nuts ;)

The dreaded black screen. :) Mine is voltage limited on the core. It's a pity there was not a bios that removed the restriction. Don't think I will try the Tri-x bios with the differences in pcb etc. Might end up with one dead card. :eek:

What added voltage are you running your card to get so high on the core? Are you adding +200 to stock voltage or +300?

I'm running +200mv via Trixx.
Half tempted to flash a bios etc to possibly go higher, but I like to er, keep it real :D I'm a (part time) gamer, not a bencher. I just do it to see how my stuff stacks up against others really.

Is there no bios you can use to get around the voltage lock? You do have a dual bios switch on there, don't you? If so, there's no risk of bricking your card.

Ah right. 200mv. I have flashed many a bios before and been able to recover on other cards but I thought with the custom pcb of the Vapor compared to the Tri-x it might not be a good idea as it's more than flashing between different brands of the exact same card.
