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

[repsol_23]

Just wanted to post some of my recent results on my MSI 7970 OC. A few days ago I got my koolace block and I have been able to finally put my gpu into my chilled water loop. Fortunately we had several days of dew points ~ -17C so I was able to push my card pretty much near its limits. I managed to get clocks of 1350/1775 on my core/mem respectively with 1.26/1.65 V. I was seeing idle temps ~ 2C and load ~ 20C.

nice but whit air 12209 marks with Radeon HD 7970 at 1285/1860MHz

I am getting what I think are pretty bad scores? P17387 in 3DM11 in CFx @ 1200/1700 (CPU @ 24/7 settings). What do you guys think?

[Kensek]

I scored P17568 with an 3930K at 5.23GHz and 2 HD7970s X-Fired at 1156/1654 in 3DMark11.

So your score is comparable to mine.

test driver may be a difference at 1000p

asus 7970 dc2t is now on water
used a ek vga hf supreme universal gpu block that i had on my gtx480

it runs under 40c now but it only gained 25mhz overclock
seems stable at 1225mhz 1190mv
any more and it just goes mad with artifacts even 1300mv makes no difference
posted temps and a bunch of pics here

Do you really need a fan over the 7970 with the HF supreme universal gpu block?!... Do Ram and VRM get very hot because you have left with the DCII heat plate?!

[dasa]

vrm ran 105c stock cooling and now run 70c stock clocks 80c 1200mhz 1.160mv with vdrop to ~1.12v and can still hit 90c with 1275mv still at 1200mhz im afraid
not sure why the vrm is so hot gtx480 had a lesser vrm\heatplate and sucked much more power yet it was fine
the memory however well half the chips dont event touch the heatplate at all the plate is so badly made the thermal pad sits a few mm above them despite being screwed right down

hello recently bought a asus hd 7970 dcII gpu....am very pleased with how quiet and cool it runs is there any way to push it further than 1125mhz core clock in after burner......the card required no voltage boost to reach max clocks but iv ran out of adjustment in afterburner how do i get more???? thanx in advance guys if there is a bios floating around please send me one and what program is used to flash the card?

I have tried:

1175 1625 at 1.150V, 60% stock fan, heavy load 50s, extreme load 60s, stock fan
Also, passes at 1.145V and 1.13V but with 1.13V I lose 0.5 FPS out of 50, so better to get a more stable voltage

Passed Crysis bench, Unigine, 3D Mark.

Tried (also)

1230 1650/25, at 1.2V (not tried the lowest) stock fan 70%, stock cooling, load temps around 60s or lower. Is like 3-4% faster than the previous setting at most. Just tested with Crysis benchmark at 25x14 V High no AA

This is a reference MSI 7970 with stock cooling.

Using MSI Afterburner.

With the former setting am getting 3432 in 3d Mark Extreme with a Core i7 2600k at 4.3.

Gigabyte HD7950 Windforce running on 1.3v 1270/1800mhz

P10040 on 3DM11. No tweaks used.



24/7 staying on 1200/1800 1.22vGPU. Gigabyte has made incredible efficent cooling again. My card doesnt even go over 60degrees on default speeds and fan rpm is not raisin over idle speeds.

@ 24/7 settings and i get only up to 70C which is very good aswell.

Im happy that i chose this card over reference cards. 420€ well spent. I dont really care for more perfomance. Its plenty for me right now .

[MetalRacer]

The latest beta drivers are looking good for benches.

Asus reference card on air.

[Cele303]

MetalRacer, how much did you gain with new driver?

My Sapphire 7970, 12.3 catalyst

[MetalRacer]

I gained 78 points with the 12.4 Betas.

@Cele303: That's a nice card you have there mate

@Cele303: That's a nice card you have there mate

yes, i like it very much....

borrowed two from a friend for bench, they are not as good as mine... catalyst 12.4 works problematic in crossfire but better scores if benchmark finish without driver crash

[owikh84]

@ Cele303, wow with 12.4 you got ~ 3k higher GPU score than my 1300/1700

7970x3 @ 1300/1700 with 12.3 WHQL

Hi,

I benched all 3 of my cards over this weekend. My best result on water is 1330/1900/1.3V. I used Batman Arkham City to bench.

Once software voltage controls for 1.4V vGPU and RAM are fixed, I will return to this card.

Maximum tri-fire result was 1250/1600/1.3V, this was stable in all benchmarks.

1330/1900/1.3v benchmark result in Batman AC - 100fps avg. CPU is 4.7Ghz 3960k.
