Guess it might make alittle difference

You don't like the power of them, so want to put them into a seperate category? I didn't like the power of the 7970 over the 680's but didn't put them into a sperate category because I didn't like it.
It is playing by the rules and is a single core GPU. Cost shouldn't come into it. Buy one or deal with it
Edit, i'm going to sleep on the CYPER debacle.
gregster in absolutely right, the cost of the GPU is completely irrelevant.
I understand the argument, and i may add an extra category for low and mid tier performance GPU's, but i'm not separating Titan from the top end to create some sort of top top end category with Titan all on its own just because it more powerful than all the rest of the top end GPU's.
The 7970 seems to mullur the GTX 680 in almost all of these sort of benchmarks, thats no reason to separate it from them, neither is cost, a GTX 580 cost £400 not so long ago, its now beaten by a GTX 660TI which never cost anywhere near that much.
Edit, i'm going to sleep on the CYPER debacle.
If you would decide that I'm the only one around here that should prove the legitimacy of his results then I would want specific rules on what you would want to see in the video proof all here want.
One guy tells me it's ok to cool my PC however I can, Locky tells me I'm a cheater cause I use outside air. They can't even settle that between themselves
And may I suggest a compulsory video proof for the top 3 spots
Why should I be the only one to prove my score

Thanks for confirmation. Just because it is expensive, it shouldn't be excluded
I have not read anywhere the questioning of cooling and not sure where you got this idea? I read through Locky's comments on here and see nothing about how you should cool your PC.
The only thing being questioned is the settings in CCC.
Like a few have said, these bench results are done on trust/pride/honesty and I know full well how to cheat at this and other bench results by adjusting settings in Nvidia Inspector but I would know I cheated and this wouldn't sit right with me.
I guess i shouldn't complain
Great scores locky and Proto. I'll have to settle for third, won't be beating your scores. I guess i shouldn't complain seeing as you're both on water cooling.

Great effort on air cooling, I wouldn't be anywhere near without water I think.
LtMatt, you have 1ghz higher on your CPU - not to mention the faster clock for clock cpu and your GPU speed is almost identical yet he still scores higher than you, hmmm strange.
That would be a first

I want to give my 7970s a go on the new drivers, I won't get anywhere near your scores but it will still be fun. Unfortunately I have to wait until next tuesday for some time off.
I think Proto is overclocking BLK so would explain for his higher score. I know he did on 3dmark advanced, that's how he beat my score along with a slightly higher core clock.
I have yet to experiment properly with BLK. Last time i did though it limited my gpu overclock a little.
I wasnt questioning proto's score
I was comparing yours like for like with CYPER

lol got me worried for a second there.
Looks like this thread may prove to be a bit of a handful at this rate.
Great effort, Matt.
I think the slightly lower clocks are holding you back a little, and having my CPU water cooled does give me the confidence to push it that little more.
