Yeah fine now.
Do you manually adjust the fan speed on the 680 to keep it cooler when benching?
Excellent. Thanks for pointing it out - I would have been none the wiser otherwise!
I haven't changed the fan speed manually, no.

Its been said by some sites that higher temps can effect overclocks and cause clocks to throttle a little. When benching try using a manual fan speed of say 85%, you never know you may improve your results.
Every time I take a screen shot and paste it out I just get a black print? any ideas or am I doing something seriously wrong? Tried both F12 and print screen, same result?!

I am gonna try this test again with 2700K and Ivy 3770K on Wednesday with some serious CPU and DRAM clocks and see if CPU clocks make a difference.
At 1080p with the OP settings I get 80.7fps 2032 (min 38.9, max 174.9)
That's with the 680@ 120% power, +140 core and +500 mem
Currently my CPU is at stock 3.2Ghz so I guess I'd see some improvement when I spend the time to clock it to the 4/4.5Ghz it's capable of
Cant comment much further NDA.
No, I said thats when I am testing bottlenecking.
Here is my submission.
Sapphire 7970 @ 1375, 7700.
3930 @5.1ghz G. SKill 16gb DDR3@2450 10-12-12-31.
ASUS R4E
Not sure how to get the link for validation ??? anyone please????
