Heres mine

Combined 3267

I am going to try reducing the volts to see if that makes a difference

That's actually a very good score for a 7950, I get a GFX score of 8553 with clocks at 1200/1700 and from my long stupid ass testing (free version) I found 100 on the GPU clocks gives me 600 GFX marks while 100 on the Mem clock gives me 130 GFX marks.

(Sadly I did a fresh rebuild yesterday and forgot to back up my data from each of my tests runs 1000/1700, 1100/1700, 1200/1700 and memory clocks at 1200/1500, 1200/1600, 1200/1700 thats almost almost two hours of testing lost...)

So 1200/1800 would net me a GFX score of around 8680+/-

**EDIT** Damn mobile screen didn't notice is was Kaapstad and hence not a 7950 score, sorry :(

His cards a 7970 ;)
 
Well going to back to my post it appears I have used the wrong figure on 1200/1700 GFX score it wasn't 8553 that was my physics score, it was actually 8658 which means the extra 100 Mem Kaapstad has would brings my total to, 8658+130 = 8788

So yeah his score of 8850 is off for 7970, considering a 7950 needs around 80+ on the core to match a 7970, if both running identical clocks then the 7970 would be roughly 450-500+ GFX in front, which Whyscotty clearly is


1200/1700 link: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/13002 GFX score of 8658

Cat 13.2b3/4? Driver settings on stock (only change is triple buffer for Opengl and gamma/saturation tweaks)

As long as im in the top 10 im happy ;D

My 7970 has real issues above 1200/1700 so i will leave my high score as the last one i added.... for now

Have you altered your blck and pci-e scews ?

No I have been using 100 strap 100 bclk. I did try the 125 strap with 129 bclk a while ago but it made no difference so I went back to the 100 strap.

I have just tried lowering the volts - got down to 1.188v before I ran out of adjustment (Had to set LLC to min to do it, I know it should work the other way round).

The performance figures remained more or less the same doing the above, the best was a score of 8020 with most of the other runs I did hitting just over 8000.

I think the ref and non ref cards must work differently either that or watercooling makes a big difference on this bench.

I noticed this when I had your Matrix that for some reason they performed
differently :confused:

Not blck itself the skews.

Blck skew is just above vcore and pci-e skew is inside CPU tweakers

Does it make a difference adjusting the skew if it does which one and how much should I adjust.

Thanks

It varies depending what I'm doing.

-1 and -10
-2 and -20
-3 and -30

I use -2 and -20 for 24/7, it was something 8Pack told me about when I first went Tri Sli.

You can mix and match to see what works best for your set up :)

Does the above improve performance or stability

Thanks

One of the best things I did in a long time was getting the HD 7970s. Its a lot more interesting using them on benches like this where other people are using similar setups. When NV get the drivers sorted for multi GPUs I will probably run my 690s a couple of times and that will be it (very boring). I have had a lot more fun using my 7970s in the last few months.

PC was fairly comfy doing this bench, board still broke and only giving me triple channels.

Nice one :)
 
Nice one man! :)

Haven't try this new Fire Strike yet. New Mobo on my floor in the box and new GPU coming monday. Been sick for a week. Need to get testing oc to get on the board. Not 100% yet, Still a bit stuffed with all the flu and green crap coming out of every orifice.. Yuck!

Need to get better asap.
