"HD7970 & HD7950 Results Thread - Torture Your Card, Post It Here!"

[DStealth]

Yes, but not a big gain...45k single and 55k with CFX Total score i mean...GPU is 43k vs 58k
Here

These two broke my goals for the card (beating 12000 in 3DMark 11 and breaking 3000 in Heaven DX11), everything else will be icing on the cake.

HWBot Heaven Xtreme DX11 - 3003.16



3DMark 11 - 12118

Still on air, no mods. These cards rock.

EDIT - 3DMark03 small update to 158896

[Levesque]

4X 7970 Quad-Fire 3930k only at 4.6. Fast runs just for fun.

Heaven 1080p 8AA - Every settings maxed out- 176.3 fps 4441



And for fun

2560X1600 8AA - Every settings maxed out -118 fps 2975



I usually bench my 3930k at 5.1, so the score would be higher. But I didn't had enough time. Later.

[QUOTE=OC Nub;5041587]Im using the one from the link in the first post here in this thread, it also has ati-winflash in the folder once you install gpu tweak. I was lazy and used ati-winflash, figure it has dual bios so no problem fixing a bad flash. All went well though.


Second screen shows the limits once you check the box for overclocking range enhancement.


u got 1.40 and 2000 limit with that one? it's here and i can't get more than 1850, may you link it here ?

i have this one GPUTweakVer2026UpdateOCEnhanceString20111229 (1)

[OC Nub]

The one I have is GPUTweakerVER2026UpdateOCEnhanceString2. I thought I got it here on the first page. Try this link, it was posted by Shamino a few pages back in the thread. http://www.mediafire.com/?t2lt36eiulfy197

Or try this posted on page 1, its from KP cooling forums. http://kingpincooling.com/forum/show...9&postcount=35

It is one of the 2, not sure which one.

it's not the gpu tweak it's ur bios

[OC Nub]

it's not the gpu tweak it's ur bios

OOPS, I had not tried gpu tweak much until after flashing the bios.

[aussie-revhead]

Guys what the finding regarding default VID again? Mine is a 1.175 card so it can handle 1.3v but maxes out around 1270 and after a few runs this seems to drop (heat soak I'm assuming) so is my card a good candidate for water cooling?

[GX-BadAngeL]

"Cool" drivers.

[Martin.v.r]

OC nub
why is this bios http://www.mediafire.com/?2prshj3zzbuupqb 64kb an not 128kb ???????

[OC Nub]

I just copied the link posted by Shamino. I am using it now, it
is working great.

Your minimum frames are horrible man, I get much better than that with my single 7970 -- what's the point in quad 7970's? They aren't even usable unless perhaps you're using them for number crunching only.

Can you adjust Voltage and core clock separately?
I flashed Asus BIOS and find the card is running 20* hotter in Idle and cannot move each slider alone, they're linked ...strange.
Is it only me or GPU Tweaker is playing games on me ?!?

[emertX]

I'm using it, too. And there is no difference, but the voltage...you can set it now to 1.4V!

[aussie-revhead]

Dstealth there is an unlock button on the left side of the vgpu and core clock sliders, it's pretty obvious it allows independent movement of each slider.

[Andrea deluxe]

official unlocked bios

[aussie-revhead]

Is that voltage unlocked?

[HelixPC]

Is that voltage unlocked?

Nope, just core and memory clock with CCC. No need for this if you use Trixx or MSI AB in unofficial overclocking mode.

You need to unlock/click on this to adjust separately.

What is the "disable 2D" function for?

Same thing happened to me. Using the unlocked BIOS, my idle voltage is now 1.15V according to GPU Tweak. Voltage goes all the way up to 1.4V though . I imagine that's well beyond the "safe" range, even for water cooling. Does anybody know what a good maximum is for 28nm? 40nm was <1.35V, correct? I imagine it would be less.

[pinto]

With vdrop 1.4v software is 1.28-1.3v load measured with multimeter.

1 second blurp at the start, because I forgot to disable ULPS. I got 40-50 minimum now with ULPS disabled. It was fast runs just for fun. Just look at the overall score. Don't focus on the 1 sec blurp at the start because of ULPS. Sigh. I knew people would focus on the half-second blurp...

I have Quad-Fire because I can. That's all. Just like all those people that got Quad-SLI 580.

[hokiealumnus]

It locks the card's clocks at 3D-level for benchmarking. PCMark05 (and probably Vantage & 7) benefit from it. Aside from that it's pretty pointless.
