Yep Walder, the first 290X results :) Get that beast clocked up bud and run the test again.

According to Gibbo, 5% on the GPU and around 15% on the memory is all the Sapphire bios can do (I've got the voltage cranked up to the max of +50 in the OverDrive cpl), am going to flash to the Asus bios to give me full voltage control and then go again. I haven't even installed MSI afterburner yet.

Hang tight for fresh results!
 
Get and flash the Asus BIOS on it.

I want to but not sure exactly how to flash and where to get the BIOS files from? admittedly I'm being lazy and haven't done much googling but perhaps someone can point me in the right direction?

The last bios flash I ever did on a graphics card was the X800 Pro flashed to XT PE way back in 2004 or so! Also the last AMD card I owned was the X1950 so have been out of this field for a while...

Damn, 13% faster (graphics) than my 780's clock for clock (near enough) :up
Edit: didn't notice that you core was a little lower for 2 cards, probably more like 15% in that case.
