here is pic of mod area and 1 of the power limit shorts as well


I like to take apart sata cables for mod wire Small copper wire coated in paraffin wax. No need to strip the cables, just heat the end a bit the wire reveals itself.

Awesome thanks dude. I should have some 1 and 5k VR's laying around.

Nice work Splave, we eagerly await the results.

Guys check this out....looks like reference but it isn't. Even it's something more rafinated.

[Manicdan]

my replacement card is in, so hopefully this weekend i get my overclock sorted out

[WicKeDcHilD]

Thought oh that is nice, then my eyes panned to the front end of the card and seen all those holes that will allow the air to go back into my case...

Will see if any gains on water now.

[aussie-revhead]

[Manicdan]

Briefcase PC is back in full force

right now i just have a light OC, 175+ on the core, and 300+ on the memory.

[Splave]

^ Thats awesome dude

[PatRaceTin]

guys i am in decision between single HD7970 or single GTX680

(VGA Water cooling)

which card should give me more score on 3DMark ? (both card max OC on water)

[Splave]

for 3d11 probably 7970 cause you can turn off tessellation

[cole2109]

Splave this is dumb answer. AMD is cheating with tess. off. 680 is faster in 3DM11. End of story.

[Manicdan]

i hope no one gets mad if i ask, who cares about 3dmark11 scores
these cards vary greatly with each game. i would go with the one that better handles the engine your favorite games are made from
but he might just be an OCer and not a gamer.

Thankyou for the compliment, but for 3dmark11 7970 scores better. 680 is a better card but thats not what he asked. Have a great day.

[cole2109]

I didn't mean to offend you
But you are wrong :P

[cowie]

Well besides the tess slider for heaven and 3d11 which are faster on a 7980 because of it....
680 is weak in dx9 benches even compared to 580.on 680 03 not will run max clocks too well..you can get more better scores on a cooled and modded 580...06 o5 are not bad on the on the 680 but still seems of
Under simple tests with both clocked on air
7980 wins
heaven
3d11
vantage
3d03
3d05
3d06
01 and am3 not sure but i'd say it dont matter you can use a 580 or other card
thats how i see it(no offence to kp and tin) but the 680 is a gamers card,680 may be better at games then a card that has a bigger bus more ram but ot so much benches.....drivers for the older benches i think is not like it was on 480

This is true only when you turn off tessellation from ATI control panel. Please specify your statement, many AMD Radeon trolls will quote the hell out of this statement without even knowing/understanding what is actually happening...

anybody who benches should know this tweak, if it is available in the ATI ccc/driver then it is allowed.

[cole2109]

AMD should add option for disabling everything! If it is available in the ccc then it is allowed.

Sarcasm off

I heard their new drivers introduce some sort of LOD "tweaks" for Super-Sampled AA. Hell why not go all the way, bring back good ol Mipmap LOD tweaks, missing textures ("quack.exe") and maybe even the old AF algorithms from the HD5xxx days.

The best I got from my 7970 was 10640 while my 680 scored 11060, visually the 680 was stunning but I think this was an issue with AMD drivers that may have been improved or rectified with the latest drivers.
