Oh dear, Matt... Still on the wife beater.
At least your glass has the right idea :p

More than +200 for 1238? :eek:

So what kind of advantage do you see from not running this via steam?

Nah it was +200mv. I tried +225mv but no improvement in core speed. I think one of the cards refuses to go further despite voltage. Pretty sure I'm ahead of any air cooled card though. :)

I might have another bash when the lightnings arrive. Might be able to sneak one in as the 4th card. :D

I love how my 7970 can still keep up with the gk110s, Hawaiis and Maxwels :D

as much as I admire the 7970 (I still have 3) these 980 scores don't need much skill to generate, its much easier and much more stable with the 980 in general than with the 7970's which would bench well but would be very hot and unstable under gaming with high OC.

For that number 2 score the 980 memory clock was boosted by 0mhz, it was stock, I could'nt be bothered to dial up the RAM clocks.

Also, the Quad SLI bench run was drawing sub 650W from the wall, I don't know if that is correct, I might need a new meter.

980s look good, but from what ive seen they dont scale much beyond 2 cards on basically any game. Crysis 3 seemed to do well though, but how is it on other games?

Will let you know when they fix the drivers. I imagine the next release will fix BF4 and Tomb Raider.
