You might have to go Sub-Zero to get close Dog

That aint happening sadly.. no time before its up. We will see what 5Ghz+ is like though... Makes no sense, those scores, since CPU doesnt seem to matter much, but we will give it a try.

Bumping up the GHZ's help in the first two phase's of FireStrike and the last, sword fight, is all CPU. I like seeing 20FPS

For giggles, back that down to 4c/8t and see how much your score changes...Im betting less than 100?

I'm looking around and I can't find anything on it, so could someone tell me how to overclock the ram on this 7970 past 1600? Afterburner 2.3.1 has a wall at 1600. I enabled unofficial overclocking in the config text file, but still can't go any higher than 1600. Not sure what to do.

 

[EarthDog]

Try another app. Trixx, HIS iTurbo..etc.

 

[Techjesse]

Yes, you should use this https://www.sapphireselectclub.com/ssc/TriXX/

 

[ChanceCoats123]

Ah, that's a beautiful thing. Thanks fellas!

7970

When I unlocked AB it gave me 1790 on the memory? Trixx does work use AB first to set voltages first then use trixx.

I got 1700mhz easily with AB on a 7970 WF3 OC...even before unlocking voltage control. :/

Alright, this might have to do with my Windows installation, but I have an odd issue. I can no longer run the bench because when I try to, the first test loads almost completely, but then black screens and returns to the desktop. I open task manager and see that 3dmarkicfworkload.exe has popped up, and is what causes the issue. I close it, and the test becomes responsive again, but I still can't get it to run. Damn new cards.

What voltages are you running on your card?

1.170vgpu and everything else is just stock. I was just working the clocks up, not even pushing yet. That was 1200/1700 for the clocks. It seems like a software issue more so than a hardware problem to me.

If you have a reference card you might try flashing it with an Asus BIOS and then fully unlock it with GPU Tweak.

 

[ChanceCoats123]

It's a lightning.

 

[ivanlabrie]

lol, I'd love it if the Lightning pcb was the reference one

 

[ChanceCoats123]

No freakin' kidding. I'm in awe of this card. Not from the scores it gives (which are pretty damn good), but because of how large and in charge the card is. LOL
