Can you have 2 entries?
1 for ultra and 1 for high?

Heres my entry for High
i5 2500k@stock
HD7870XT 1150/1600

anything above 1150 just shows little artifacts :mad:

PS. does overclocking the CPU make much, if any difference to your score?

Yes, added :) and how the... did you beat me with lower clocks? :eek:

Nicely done, but i'm not having that :p I will be right back with a new bench... I hope....

PS: artifacts, little spots? is exactly what i'm getting over 1200Mhz, you and I are not alone in that with the 7870 XT's, it seem a lot of them do it at various clocks between 1150 and 1250.

Is this true for other Tahiti GPU's?

Anyway, Kei added to :)

Must be due to higher memory clock?
Are you on stock voltage?

Yeah, little artifacts above 1150 for me. What 7870XT do you have? I have the Powercolor Myst :)

You lucky so and so.... :p 1205 / 1600 = 1641, 3 points short, I can't go any higher, it starts snowing on my screen and I don't want to damage it.

Anyway yes, its a Powercolor MYST, I have under volted it to 1.19v, stock was 1.25v and WAY to high.

Paid £174 for it with the NSBR: Farcry3, FC Blood Dragon, Tomb Raider and BioShock Infinite.

Very pleased with it despite not being able to go over 1200Mhz.

How did you manage to unlock the voltage?
I just leave mines at stock :o
Your lucky enough to reach 1200MHz :(
Same here, got it at that price too although my total went up to £188 due to delivery cost to NI :o

and just for you

lol.... I will add that in a minute :)

Voltage... I use this app http://www.powercolor.com/Global/download_PowerupTuner.asp

Though it has not Board Power Line so you would need to set that in CCC

And as for MSI AB, well I have asked here to fix it http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=378414

You may also have a different BIOS, I have the old 28 BIOS which has to higher volts, they fixed it with a 32 BIOS, I would be interested to know what your BIOS is and what your default volts are?

So I have a screen from an earlier post that highlights the BIOS number


 
Missed that ^^^^ no matter.... your score looks very real and its to late now.

For all the time that the cheaper Tahiti LE GPU's were around (I think) OCUK only had the more expensive Sapphire XT.

When I posted a thread in here with my thoughts on the Powercolor one that I had just bought for £174. With in literally a few days OCUK had the 'VTX3D 7870 Black' in for just over £180.

Oh.... they are watching you :eek:
