Need to sort out the vdroop/llc issue before taking the CPU to 5ghz and still have ~0.125v to play with on the GPU, but that can wait until the waterblock arrives.
 
***UPDATE***

Would seem this GFX has a lot to give. After trying 304.79 Betas I had a small increase, literally 4700 from 4657.

Tried some overclocking for a laugh as I've never touched this card.
So 3570K @ 4.2GHz & GTX470 @ 710/1750, felt like no effort at all :-

It's good, but want more! Started getting close to it's limits with a driver crash, so up some volts to 1.03v.
3570K @ 4.2GHz & GTX470 @ 800/1850
http://3dmark.com/3dm11/4049346

Still not good enough. I want over 6000!
3570K @ 4.2GHz & GTX470 @ 830/1880 w/ 1.05v

There it is!

Still didn't seem to be struggling, I don't know how hot it would have got if I didn't have the fans on 100% lol. But did the job and not a bad increase at all, hell of an overclock! 36.7% on the core, 12.3% on the ram, resulting in a 30.6% increase in score.

Score 6083 :cool:

Please bump me up the table!! :(

Thanks for doing this thread Gregster :)

Will get some of my results up later once I've tuned this 3820 to 5ghz and got my lightning memory clocks sorted :)

No problem.

I am realy enjoying seeing the battles :D Rossi and Geeman nipping and tucking at each other lol

Bit dissapointed in not seeing a single 7850/70 posting results :( I am sure someone will though.

Also glad Pulse got his drivers sorted...Much better results bud and you are now well into the top scores with your card in the overall scores (of the world that is). :)

Yeah, the 7850/70 should be an interesting one, especially on the high clockers with water, may even see some creeping up on the lower scoring 7970's :)

670 scores are pretty good, just found my old 670 score of 10455, so I've at least beaten that.

Fairly confident of smashing through the 11000 mark once I get this card under water and sort out my LLC issue.
 
Only because by chance they have far better CPU's which is bumping the overall score up.

My graphics score is higher than everyone's bar 8pack's ;).

The chart should be on graphics scores :p.

Rusty, is your rig running PCI-e 2 @ x8 for your cards?

What memory speed are you running? I'd like to know where my missing points are :D
