**Official 3DMark 'Fire Strike' Leaderboard**

Made a few changes to my system recently. Now running:-

Gigabyte Z87 OC board
MSI 780 GTX, but now under water
8Gb of Kingston 1866 ram at 2.0Ghz

Latest run produced this score Link:-

Very pleased with that. Please update my score as I am nearly dropping out of the top 25 Lol.

Gregster - don't know why my secondary cpu is showing up on the result as I am not using MVP - do I have to disable the cpu graphics in the bios?

No probs Mark and from your scores, I can clearly see it isn't working to improve scores :)

Added :)

I put your CPU as 4.6 but not sure if this is correct? 3DMark is showing it as stock.

Cheers for that Raven, just spotted my last entry. Was with the 3770k at stock, that rubbish chip couldnt complete many benches when oc'd.

Setter you posted somewhere the other day that you tried playing bf3 on your friends setup and his rig was smoother than yours despite you having the almost exactly the same hardware. Did he have the same gpu setup as you?

I did ask you in the other thread wherever you originally mentioned that. But ive lost track what thread that was in now. :p

Yep, mate has a single 7970 with a mild oc on it, (1100mhz core iirc). There was no osd running during the game, similair cpu and ram clocks as mine. Bf3 did feel a bit better though, ive never owned an amd card myself but not sure what would have caused the difference. Possible driver issue on my end or something?

No idea, might not indicate a problem as such. Maybe you can just tell the difference between one gpu and two and its effect on smoothness.
 
Tbf bf3 does run pretty well on my spec in sig, i was able to max it easily on one card with an oc on it at 1920x1200. Ive only noticed a bit of difference in sli when switching to the latest beta drivers that were released for the bf4 beta. Gonna try rolling back to the previous set i was using.

Its gonna be all about BF4 soon and BF3 will just be an afterthought. I've uninstalled it now. It came to a fitting end as well. I was something like 90 kills for 8 deaths on Metro when i got kicked by Admin. That was the final act on the Battlefield for LtMatt81. :D

Hi Gregster,

Thanks for that. My username is Tipes btw. Also the cpu is at 4.7Ghz if that helps.

Thanks again

Mark
