Looks like even with the max volts supplied by GPUTweak I can't exceed 1200Mhz without getting artifacts. Temps are always fine tho (under water), never seem to exceed 57c.

I've taken the ram to 5900 and everything still seems rock stable, the VRMs got to 72c tho. New 200mm case fan arriving tomorrow with double the CFM of my current one so I am hoping to bring that down before pushing further. Stock volts for the vram is 1V on these? I can't change the volts anyway.

Score with 1200/1477 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/1504594?

That would be cool but we can't even download the game yet, so how is it possible to play BF4 if we can't even download it, let alone unlock it....

Loving it, Bf3 is so smooth its unreal, a huge gain from my HD 6950 2GB lol.

Roll on Bf4!

Whats lowest fps you getting Stonehouse?

Stonehouse · 29 Oct 2013 at 00:56

On BF3? About 90.

Gregster · 29 Oct 2013 at 00:58

Grrrr, that will teach me to buy the game from Origin. Seems I can't even get to download it from them, even with spoofing grrrrr

sin · 29 Oct 2013 at 00:58

So never dips below 90 on what settings are you using?

My code forces me to get it through Origin, was hoping to spoof it tommorow, gutter.

Nice

Hope Its good fps on bf4

Stonehouse · 29 Oct 2013 at 01:06

I wish I could wait for stuff, just couldn't help myself haha.

Someone mentioned 70fps on BF4 earlier, I'd be happy with that.
My 6950 could barely keep 30fps on BF4 beta, was a total nightmare.
