Hmmm interesting. I'm running a 7970 card. The driver says i'm running the HD 7900 which is fine, but it says the graphics card i'm using is a R9 280x.... wat.

My other PC is running a Gigabyte R9 280x and the driver used to randomly display it as a Radeon HD 7900 series instead of R9 200 series (sometimes after a reboot for some reason). This caused a bit of confusion with GPU-Z as some of the info ended up blank/missing! I flicked the switch on the card to use the 2nd bios and it's been fine since.

Hopefully be able to add a better score on this, whacked 1.3200 vcore through the cpu and 2.1 input voltage, (purple warning lol). So the cpu might go higher on this voltage. 4.8 would be nice for benching on air cooling unless i delid.

780ti @ 1183/1803 stock volts.
4770k @ 4.3
Both on air.

Bah, that elusive top 15 might escape me with this card at stock voltage. I'm right on the very verge of stability with a random driver crash during the combined test at the very end. Grrrr! lol

I think with a slight nudge of voltage I'd be seeing considerable jumps but I swore to leave the voltage stock with this card. Still it's no slouch, 600 point jump on firestrike with a simple O/C.

I've noticed on this card pushing the mem does next to bugger all and the card absolutely hates it, I think it's because it's already pushing 200mhz on a stock ti's mem.

Should do 4.9 mate, that's what i was doing with it, if just for benching air will be fine.

What voltage did you put through it for 4.9 mate? With vcore at 1.32 and input at 2.1, (the latter fires up in purple warning in bios) temps are good at 75c max in 3dm. Seems that the secret with haswell is having input voltage at least 0.6v higher than vcore. Running real bench on the above results in a max temp of 84c on auto fan. With fans set to max im sure i could knock at least 5c of that.

Edit, just checked a screenshot of my first 4790k in real bench, 1.312 vcore at 4.8ghz, though on that one i had input pretty low at 1.88. Which will probably explain why it crashed when gaming. Temps on that run were 79c max and iirc that was with the case and cooler fans maxed.

Gregster, sorry to keep bombarding you with incremental improvements lol

780ti - 1210 on the core, 1803 on the mem bus - Air
4770k @ 4389 MHz - Air

That'll be the last one on this card, this was a full on "case in bits" run - standard voltage again. I was increasing in tiny MHz increments in the end, this really is all the card can do at stock volts.

EDIT

Just noticed that's me in the top 15 on air I think? Woot!!
