What causes that 1second stutter near the start of a Heaven run? I have seen it every time I have run Heaven and it kills the min fps figure.

Hdd?
Quite possibly, that's what it feels like too, I haven't tried it on an ssd either.

Well, this was a 6970 TriFire and hopefully te Quad I've just got on the cheap will increase it more. Nice to see the 7 series being battered here!

I have been using an SSD, it still happens here also.Quote:

Still waitin to see a 1.3v overclock myself. Although you'll need to flash with the 7970 ASUS OC bios for higher voltage control and better mem timings. Best i saw was SKYMTL's sapphire 7950 oc at like 1.18ghz but he did that with only +.1v increase.Quote:

OCUK forums did the flash
7950 @ 925MHz / 5500MHz = 1504 points
7950 on 7970 BIOS @ 925MHz / 5500MHz = 1545 points
7970 @ Stock (925/5500) = 1584 points

The reference 7950 with the 2x6pin and 1 less phase pcb might be the one u need to use that 7970 asus OC bios with. Based on the OC results from Cypress PRO versus XT where XT's did about 5-10% higher speeds than Pro's just from binning - 7950s might reach 1150-1250mhz, while 7970s will do around 1200-1350mhz.
Memory seems to clock the same from what i've seen.

Well, i read a review (not sure where) were they flashed with a 7970 bios to see if u could unlock the card and card wouldn't boot.
Even with 2x SSD in raid0, its the same. But you can reduce it, just let the engine run 5-6 seconds, then press F9 for benchmark, if it still occurs, re launch the bench with F9.Quote:

Does that then influence the minimum fps recorded?
:up:
Looking foward to see a liquid 7950 results-
do you know any special trick for hd7970 in 3dmark03 for a high nature score?
So if I don't want to do any voltage tweaking, I should just stick with MSI AB or Asus GPU Tweak?
No table of results?
Hey guys
I just got my 7950 a few days ago. Been taking it easy with the OC.
ATM i'm stable at GPU 1100mhz and mem 1500mhz. Unfortunately i've reached my max with MSI Tool.
I know i need to flash with a unlocked bios. Any recommendations? I have a Sapphire 7950.
Or would it be better to change the limits of my current bios?
Thx
After having time to settle an an EK-FC7970 block + backplate added I am seriously NOT impressed with my Sapphire 7970.
Stock volts using ccc will do 1125/1525 no problem - HOWEVER I note a loud noise coming from the card when I overclock even the slightest - its more a electricity crackling noise than a cap whine! :( - Anyone else had this?
Overclocking wise using AB - I can get upto 1175@1.2v - and thats it - no higher :( :( Even with a waterblock it just refuses to go higher no matter the voltage. :down:
Maybe u just have a bad card.Quote:

Agreed - heres a youtube clip of the sound - starts at 16seconds when 3dmark started the first test:Quote:

See I've had cap whine on previous cards (which is more consistent and high-pitched) - This sound however is more of a crackling sort of sound...... only does it when the card is overclocked (even only slightly using CCC) whilst under load.
Mine does the same noise since day one, not a problem for me. The sound increase with the voltage but you can't here it with the stock cooling noise, only notifiable wit water or lnē.
Thanks, Ill give this a try.Quote:

Have you guys noticed performance drops when OCing to high? ie lower scores?
I changed it, but it just changes the title of the post. A mod/admin would have to change the actual visible title.
Also added links to TRIXX & Afterburner since they don't require a BIOS flash.
Will you request an admin to fix it? Thx.Quote:
