Well i'm only 8fps off Matts single 290 score so not too bad of a result :D

I think you can do better with some tweaking. Get your cpu clocked up to 4.8ghz and experiment with your clocks. I think there is perhaps more to be gained from your setup. Maybe try moving the memory up in 50-100mhz tweaks until you find that point at which performance drops.

Well tbh since i updated my BIOS before xmas i lost my 5GHz overclock profile and didnt bother to set it up again. I'll set that back up when i get time then give this another run.

I should be able to pull off 1250 core on my 7950.. I ran 1225 earlier and it seemed to run ok except for the memory clock throttling.

Kaap is the master at bench threads, that's why i asked him to start this one. He would do a much better job than i could. Can't fault his layout. Here's my scores.

Your score looks a bit low. Ours should be similar. Mine will be ahead because of my 5ghz cpu but even so you should be higher than that. Did you have +50% set in powertune and have ULPS disabled?

Going to remove these 14.3 and give them another install.

Just speaking with shanks via email.

Difference in our systems are

CPU - 4.4ghz vs 5ghz
Memory 1600mhz vs 2133mhz 9-10-10-21-1T with tight seconds and thirds
MOBO x16 x8 vs x16 x16

I expect the cpu plays the most part, closely followed by the ram and lastly the pci-e lanes. Either way, quite a big difference between our scores whilst using the same driver. :confused:

Please try not to beat my dual gpu score with your water cooled 290's. Let me have my moment in the sun. :p

Wouldn't worry too much. I get around the same clocks as you anyway. Trouble is, the 2600k on that rig will only go to 4.6...

Updated score (barely):

1080p
7970CF @1280/1850
2600k @4.7
13.12
81.2fps

Single card run @same clocks

49.1fps

Cba to clock the cpu to 5ghz...
