Couldn't be bothered to bench the 480. I'm too lazy, when i get a test bench set up i'll be more inclined to actually bench more often.
Instead, i decided to do a little video

Yup both are the refurbs. I was going to use that for either folding or as a hybrid physX card...but decided to make a keyring for my brother instead.
Was kinda surprised that there was NO TIM whatsoever. I'd give it a check if i were you. The 480 had plenty however.
7970 Crossfire.
7970 Trifire

Sorry forgot to save the two card result as a project but I assure you its my score.
Just like Vantage this bench becomes more and more about CPU power and memory tweaking as you add cards.
Thanks to Gibbo and all the team at OCUK.

39k Graphics score...sheesh, that's higher than Kaap with 4 GPUs 
Did OCUK lend you the GPUs? Or?

No I bought them but was given amazing service as Gibbo saved me the last few original Lightenings and then when one failed to boot the RMA was very very quick. The time scale was so tight for me to get this done and the service was top notch.
I have a better 3930K CPU in hand too that can do 5.6ghz with high DRAM speed. So the best is yet to come as they say lol!!!
Oh and then there is Quad fire to play with too!!!

Very nice
I never though I would see HD 7970s go that well on this benchmark.
Yes you want to get the old 3930k out quick, its letting the side down on memory. My 24/7 memory settings are better than that.
Cracking scores on those HD 7970s though.
On a serious note I tried to build a rig today with my new CPU in it but crashed at the first hurdle. I had been sent the wrong/missing pump parts so will have to wait to see how my new CPU goes.
I know you can run the dimms higher/tighter but I just could not resist it.
How much better is your new CPU for memory 2600mhz +
Well done 8 Pack 
What volatages do you have on the core and the memory to run the cards at that speed please?
Also why on your trifire benchmark do you have the cards running faster than the dual xfire?
Good point bud I will look at that again. I binned the cards first maybe for two cards I chose the wrong ones. hmmmmmmm we will see.
Voltage on Core is 1.4 ish, mem 1.85, Aux +50 with 120 power limit. The best card should go great on cascade.
I am gonna run two cards again today thats bugging me!!! lol!!!

8 Pack out of interest what cooling system do you use to cool your x79 rig with.
Cheers
I was just interested in what you use for the CPU. I will never build a PC that can not be used 24/7 so for me custom watercooling is the next and also final step.
The other reason I was interested is I think I read on one of your posts that X79 does not like getting too cold.
