Graphics score isn't too shabby. Physics score shows my old faithful 2500K up as a bit creaky though.


Well you would still only just manage 12k on a highly clocked 4700k with good 2400mhz ram. Sure the scores would look like a really well balanced system with 12k on both GPU and CPU but you would not really see too much of a difference in games. Enjoy the system and wait for 8 cores.

I intend to. I know the 2500K is ample for gaming with a single GPU for the time being, going to see what AMD's Steamroller looks like before I even think of getting rid of the 2500K. :)

I get that physics score with my i5 760 at 4.3ghz, surely something wrong?

Good to see though what i could score if i had a 290.
 
yh with an accelero aftermarket air cooler

EDIT: its just the card,lots of folks scoring higher with air cooling,

I KNOW that having 30-40c load temps at 1.38v you'll be able to run higher. My 7970 did the same; 1270-1300 depending on the bench. Got a block on it, and now im top 7970 single gpu in the thread :D
