VTX3D 7970 x'ed overclocking in process

[MOOGLEYS]

My VTX runs 1200/1600 without touching the voltage. They are great cards for the price.

What was your stock voltage? 1.175 by any chance?

Just noticed in that 7970 toxic review they were using the 12.7 betas. Been some pretty big gains since then.

You could just run your own benchmark copying what they're doing????

Yes 1.175v

 

[LtMatt]

Yes 1.175v

Exactly what volts i need for the same overclock, though my stock is 1.112.

Many thanks for posting this, was looking for some recent benchmarks with a 7970 clocked at my speeds. (1200/1600)

However in the review it states 1100 / 1200 MHz for the core, first page and 1500 / 1600 MHz for the memory. Which one is it running at not including when they used the extra OC bios?

EDIT

doesnt say which drivers they were using

They show the scores at both bios settings. The green bars are at 1100/1600 and the purple bars are at 1200/1600. Pretty useful IMO

Yeah my bad i realised that after posting. Very useful.

@ 1080p I notice no in game difference between the VTX x-edition clocks and overclocked to 1200/1600...

I definitely notice a difference in battlefield 3 and sleeping dogs, and even dirt showdown to some extent. Those are the only three games im playing at the moment.

 

[MOOGLEYS]

Sleeping dogs is no different for me. Perfectly smooth at either settings. I gave up on BF3 a long time ago..

 

[HankScorpio]

Yes 1.175v

Hmm then no wonder mine won't oc any further above stock volts since I'm at this.

Why are the same cards at different stock volts anyone know? Is it something to do with ASIC?

 

[jwmachon]

2400 score now 87c

Not going any further that's with playing on bf3 for an hour

 

[psychodil]

What clocks did you use to get 2400?

 

[jwmachon]

Forget that it was 2356 when I run again

Core clock 1358

 

[psychodil]

1358 air cooled
What voltage?

 

[dave_beast]

The only reason to clock that high is epeen. No game requires that much clock, and producing that much heat is not good for the lifespan of the card imo.

Maybe so, but that clock if true is insane.

I can only dream of running bf3 at 1300 core.
