Hotrod,
You're obviously not too particular who you associate with but you'll not find a nicer bunch of derelicts than
those in the extreme cooling section. Enjoy yourself and hopefully you have no daughters of marrying age.

But isn't it the best feeling when you finally get a good one out of a tough piece of hardware?

You know it! I've always seemed to struggle with nVidia. I have a 580 LEX that's the same way. Reference 6970 is a breeze in comparison on cold.

Lol. Know the feeling. Once I hit my limit on 5820, back to the 4790k until I score a 5960x. I've tried to collect a decent gpu from recent gens. Just received a 7970 Matrix today. It does take some patience getting used to benching both nVidia and AMD successfully. NVidia is about jumping thru bios hoops and drivers. AMD seems to be lottery. I can usually tell in 20 min or so if a AMD card is a winner or not.

Avoid OMEGA drivers at all costs.
Stick with 14.9 or 13.12

Just looking at your Titan X results , Very strong
Been a while since I had a fresh minty new GPU to play with
Going to try my luck with some 5870's on the 16th
I have a history with AMD Drivers though
Kinda like sticking an ice pic in my forehead

I always look for drivers corresponding to a gpu dating or when it was used most prevelent. Also utilize different oc utilities for each gen and driver as well. My 6970 does horrible with AB, but is golden on Trixx, ect., ect.
