**Official 3D Mark 11 scores**

^^ :D

Added your scores and personally I feel that 690 score (all of them in fact) are superb. Look back at the old 590's scaling and you will see what I mean. The Mars cards were 2 full 580 GPU's on 1 PCB and look at the price of those.
 
4976 on the 560TI Hawk card (I looked about for average scores) and this is classed as a very high score. I am only using the GPU scores for comparison though Neil. You can maybe push yours past that but if it is playing games just fine, I wouldn't.
 
I found that by putting my highest clocking card in the top slot, it improved my SLI scores by a fair amount. I didn't know if this was just luck or it had some bearing... I get my other LTG tomorrow, so will do some testing once my rig is all set up.
 
Added your score Eva and it does look low on the GPU side of things. Kaapstad is your man for overclocking the 690. I use MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precison X. They are essentialy the same programs, just with different lay outs. I am not sure if when you overclock the core, it does both but I imagine it doesn't and you will need to do each GPU seperately.

1. Start with pushing the power limit to the far right.
2. slide the core clock to about +50
3. Slide the Mem to about +300
4. stick the fans at max
5. Apply
6. Repeat for the next GPU (if needed)

Run 3Dmark11. If no crashing or the driver has stopped responding error, add 10 to the core clock for each and add 50 to the mem clocks of each. If you start seeing pretty lights flashing on the screen when you run 3Dmark11, back off the memory and goto the last run that didn't give the flashing. Then only work on the core clocks.

It can be tiresome but this is a way to find out if you got lucky in the chip lottery or not :)

Hope this helps.
 
I know you have only just got the mobo but have you tried resetting to the defaults in the Bios with just the SSD connected.

I did reset the bios and I did have a play with the SSD/HDD's but I think I was so fed up after getting everything all set up nice, I couldn't be bothered to mess about too much. I will go down to 1 SSD and 1 HDD tomorrow after work and see if that helps.

Anyways, a quick play on my LTG's and pleased with the first oc.

Plenty more in the tank ;)
