Greg, can you not unlock the voltage on the 780 using afterburner? Ie how high can they be clocked before the BIOS needs flashing?

I managed to flash the amd quite successfully but that was only £200 worth of card :/
 
ran this just now on the 780, failed with driver stopped responding on the very last test. Results that showed were.



Graphics Score
11470

Physics Score
12786

Card was at 1215 core, 3305 memory. Though i did see it dropping down to 1202 on the first gpu test in fs. Due in no doubt to nvidias bs throttling at 70c.
 
damn just played around for a minute or 2 (i am not a overclocker in any way whatsoever and have no idea what i am doing) only got 11538 physics score and 19871 graphics score on my 2600k with 2 290's.
Got a feeling my cpu may be stopping me getting much higher any input guys?

for benching you are currently the limit. For general gaming the CPU wont bottleneck your cards.

I hope that answers your question.
 
yeah thanks :D i was only playing around bored really :D. did get my 290's to 1100 and 1450 without artifacts for benching though so was quite pleased at that and i could probably push further but i was doing 50 increases :D. My 2600k pretty much gave up as soon as i hit 5.1k hah :D

Add 100MHz on the RAM on both cards, you probably dont need voltage for that. Should give you 20k GS easily.
