How far you can OC this card under water?
How has the best OC for this card here?
1100 and 1670 is that on air?

Alex nailed it below me.
Spot on. That said i think its worth doing as the 7990 has such a low TDP the card tries to throttle even when running at stock and undervolted. However you need a demanding game to bring out this behaviour. Sleeping dogs extreme preset is a good example.
My first card did, the asus 7990 from ocuk. However even over the course of one day it got better.
My second XFX had no coil whine while browsing, but had a bit more during gaming. However its already started to fade and i believe it will vanish completely soon.
Hi
I have just got my new 7990 today, I have tired both AMD driver (the 13.9 and the beta 13.11), I have tried it on Batman Arkham origins, former driver perform poorly, something like 20-30fps, latter driver perform much better, most of the time 5x-8x fps. but still feel a bit lag during gameplay.
However they are both quite laggy on FIFA14, fps is fine, around 60 but very laggy. Is this because of the bios of my cpu is not good? However my cpu never go up to 100% during gameplay so I dont understand what is the problem...please help!
my spec:
intel i5 3550 3.3GHz (no overclock)
8gb ram
MSI 7990
MSI Z77A-G43
Antec 750w
Soldato
In the Batman game have you tried running it with out Physx? PhysX although known as a Nvidia tie-in feature can run on the CPU but it uses x87 instruction set which is hopelessly inefficient.

Could you take a screenshot of MSI afterburner when running these games to see what is happening to your GPU utilisation, temps, core clocks etc. Your 3550 will bottleneck the 7990 as you can't really overclock it but I would have hoped for more than 30 fps on arkham origins.

After so many tests I have found out that after I fix it to 60fps then everything is smooth now
The bad thing is I dont have a dvi to dvi cable / minidisplay port - hdmi...just ordered from amazon...but it will reach me on wed..so I need to play in silent for two days...

Its the most recent one i posted mate. This one. http://www.sendspace.com/file/6iydbb
Let me know if that works or not.
in CCC you can make game profiles and turn it off. Otherwise play the game in windowed fullscreen (if available).
If you're not overclocking, make sure you go into settings of afterburner and turn ULPS off. Then put the power limit to +50 (max) and set to run at startup and apply overclock at startup.
Oh darn - ok ... will give this another shot this evening. I have a feeling I have a bad overclocker ... ASIC values of 60.9 and 65.3 ... but going with the lower ASIC value I guess.
I've stuffed my warranty already
My case side is still open as I haven't put the window in and caught my finger in one of the fans. Yes ... you've guess it! I broke a fan blade. Might have to move forward the watercooling.

How long ago did you order? Can't you just say it arrived like that and you've only just had chance to use it? Did you order the asus one from ocuk? If so i will edit this post.
I noticed my Asus ocuk 7990 asic one had 66% asic and one 62% asic. Its really not ideal for multi gpu cards. It means one core will run much hotter than the other. Ideally you want them within a percent or two of each other. I'm glad i sent my Asus OcuK one back and went with a rival retailer. I got an XFX one with identical asics (AMD recommend binning for this so maybe Asus don't) and as a result both cores work well together and operate at identical temps.
A Match Made In Heaven
By the way guys i have discovered that the 7990 has some hard coded TDP/Heat protection. Even with extended power tune and TDP limits the card will still cut off at a certain point. Nothing we can do to get around this im afraid. I encounter it in sleeping dogs at 1150/1650 @1.25v. The card cuts off before the bench completes. Otherwise id be beating 780SLI in that game. However the bios means that for anything but extreme overclocks we have enough wiggle room. I guess only with water cooling can you get around this problem.

Yeah I did order from OCUK. It's already an RMA replacement and I don't really mind as the heatsink is coming off soon - it's not vibrating that badly either. Just need to put a last order in for some fittings and test the updated BIOS.
I guess Asus didn't bin the GPUs Would have expected them to do so if recommended by AMD. Although saying that, I did find that the GPU temps were pretty close with one another last night. I just couldn't bump the MHz slider past 1050.
Sleeping Dogs benchmark ... doesn't come with the demo? Don't particularly want to pay for it :/

Yeah no demo for sleeping dogs. Chugs a serious amount of wattage though. Mine cuts out when you get to the indoor scene.
