What voltage you putting through that 7870 to achieve that ? Temps ok ?

I'm still loving my B-grade 7870 :-)

1.3v. Afterburner no longer works for me with the 12.11 drivers, so I use Sapphire Trixx instead. Temps stay below 70 for me unless I do run silly like furmark. I can bench 3DMark11 at 1360MHz and even 1375MHz at an extreme push but heaven cannot take any more than 1340.

Which drivers you finding better for Sli and Quad sli
for gaming and benching?
Click to expand...

For Sli the 306.23 seem to be the best

For Quad Sli 301.42 seem to work best

I think nvidia really drag their feet with quad sli.

I have also noticed although its been a long time since I tried it, that with 301.42 drivers using extreme settings (everything maxed out) @1600p going from 2 GPUs to 4 GPUs on this benchmark I get almost 100% scaling. Unfortunately using the settings on this thread the scaling is appauling and ocing the CPU does little to help.

For gaming I still use 301.42, I don't know if more modern drivers work any better for FPS but @1600p a few frames difference I would not notice anyway.

Been running 304.79 while I waited for my replacement card,
back to tri sli now :)

I'll try 301.42 as struggling with Crysis3 MP at the moment.

It is in Beta and will hopefully just be poorly otimised/driver support non existent. Other than that, how does it look?
 
Have you tried 306.23 for 2 GPUs on mine anyway it seems to work better than any of the other drivers in 3dmark11 and heaven 3. It might even be good for 3 GPUs but I have no way of testing.

I tried 304.79 and found in benchmarks anyway I took a hit on performance.

I'll just have to mess about over the weekend to find out which
suits my setup best
 
Hi everyone, long time on and off lurker here :)

Thought it was time I dropped in to say thanks to everyone here who has posted their benchmarks as this was my first port of call after recently completing the build of my new PC to make sure it was performing properly. In that spirit I thought it was only fair that I should share my own.

Nothing too fancy given the components at hand. I have only used CCC to adjust the clock speeds so the cards (Sapphire Dual-x 7970 OC's) are running on whatever voltage the secondary OC BIOS provides.

Essentials of my new system are, Gigabyte X79-UD3, i7 3820 @ 4.3Ghz, 16Gb DDR3 1600Mhz, 2x 7970 CF, Creative X-Fi, 128GB SSD OS/App drive and 1GB storage driver, Blu-ray drive, AX850 PSU, 3x Asus VE278Q Some pictures here for anyone interested.

For this run: i7 3820 @ 4.3, 2x 7970's @ 1115 GPU, 1500 Mem, 12.11 beta 4 drivers

Was pleased to break the 4000pt barrier. And just because I can I thought I'd through in an eyefinity bench as well at my bezel compenstated resolution of 5900*1080 :D

With my current configuration my top card gets quite a bit hotter than my bottom one, I suspect in part due to being right next to the CPU cooler. I now have an H100 on order to see if this will bring the temps down. May try some more benches if it does work out. Now off to the 3D mark thread!

Couldn't find anything mentioned, however every time I try to run Heaven 3.0 with DX 11 it simply continues flash on the loading screen, I can hear the benchmark running in the background but still the loading screen.

Is this an issue with any specific driver/setup? Windows 8 perhaps?

Trying to run on a GTX 670 through Windows 8, quite bizarre.
 
Windows 7 Score - 1929 - FPS 76.6 - MIN 29.3 - MAX 163.9
Windows 8 Score - 1935 - FPS 76.8 - MIN 29.8 - MAX 164.3

I wanted to run another test on my OC 1100/1500 with Windows 8 games just been feeling much more smoother on this OS for me. And has you can see with 12.11 driver Windows 8 wins :)
 
Evening all,

Seems some are still not getting how to post even though some of the guys have posted templates and mini how to articles! :)

I'm off to WarZ after I've posted this so have fun!

BrianB, Combat Fighter, Tonester0011 - Flickr doesnt do 1920x1080 I'm afraid.... so.....
Deaths_Calling - Need screenshot of cobbles please and you aint posted GPUZ link
JamesM, passey89, Alexrose1uk, Gtiracer, khaine1711 - Need link to full size screenshot please
nath247 - tesselation setting incorrect (should be normal) and need link to full size screenshot
scotthulbs, leoncuprar, amigafan2003, MyBrains, humbug, romper76, gregster, stephenb - Done
LtMatt - GPUZ link please (but added!)

Cheers - and catch you next time !
 
Didn't realise Flickr isn't fullsize.
Had a quick look at what people were using, updated.
If it's still not right, i'm not doing again :P

Don't know why "Logmein" is showing as my GPU, as it was turned off whilst benching. If you don't know what Logmein is, don't worry...it's not some way to boost scores or anything.
It's a remote desktop thingy, i use it to help my friend with his computer problems.
