Matt do you have the HD texture pack installed? Just wondering why my minimums are lower than yours

Yes i do mate, at least i think i do. I installed it via steam if i remember correctly. Using 12.8 drivers and 12.7 caps too. I have my card overclocked more than you. (going by the specs in your sig)

Nickolp1974 · 1 Sep 2012 at 20:44

Every system different i spose, my max is higher than yours (its like Top Trumps!)
I'm on 12.8, thought there would be no need for caps as the latest driver has the most upto date version.

Is this what you downloaded http://store.steampowered.com/app/202181/

I don't understand how my max fps exceeds 60fps as i was using vsync? :confused:

Yeah i thought that, maybe dissables for benching purpose.

I looked at your scores again Nick. I think your gpu ram might be overclocked too much and ECC is kicking in. Your overclock score shows a lower minimum than at stock, which is not right.

I find this happens when i push my gpu ram too much.

Put it back down to 1575 (thats more than enough tbh) and worry about the core.

Heres what i score with 1200 core and 1575memory with an i5 2500k @4.7ghz.

Throughout the benchmark i also see gpu usage between 90-97% and no higher.

It says Vsync was on, but it wasn't? Or was that the FPS limiter...didn't remember seeing a vsync option.

Crossfire 7970s.

Check my post above Nick.

Probably a crossfire but regarding the vram.

Could be,will give it a go tomorrow, thx mate

Oh and my max core is 1208 and i can get 1850 on the mem

Tonester0011 · 1 Sep 2012 at 21:24

I didn't click save...LOL.

No idea about VRAM.

Nickolp1974 · 1 Sep 2012 at 21:28

Your on 7970's but rams showing 1996mb......odd?

I can get 1800 on the memory, however any higher than 1650 and i see lower minimum fps in games.

Could just be down to Xfire?

Single 7970 @1125/1450.

Xfire 7970s @1125/1450

I dont know why i choose to have lower memory clocks...i cant clock my cards high in crossfire anyway, so i tend not to care lol.

LtMatt · 1 Sep 2012 at 21:38

Such little gains from overclocking the memory. All the best gains are to be had from the core mainly. 1200 seems to be the golden number, if you can reach that then you've made it. Anything after is a bonus.

Both my cards *singularly* can do 1275 on the core 1700 on the memory...however, for some reason...crossfired, cant get 1200/1575.

Not that i need such high clocks for single 1080 gaming.

Will give it a try, do cards throttle due to heat? Mine seams very sensitive, ive seen other peoples 15-20c hotter than mine and there ok, whats the best way to check?? Set clocks to stock, fan on minimum and run sleepy dogs on max??

Yeah at stock they can take 85+c easiily but once i apply my overclock (1200 core 1.1.75 volts up from 1.112 stock) i need to keep them below 80c.

Extreme overclock 1250+ below 70-75c. Otherwise they start to artifact.

Nickolp1974 · 1 Sep 2012 at 21:47

Great scaling tonester with xfire, nice

I dont get artifacts it just crashes "device removed e.t.c" below are settings and temps in sleeping dogs, this is whilst playing the game for about 10mins on extreme

Core 1165@1250mv. 71c
Mem 1650@1650mv. 60c
