Lol, is your Gpu overclocked? If you can't get any further with the Gpu, try running your CPU a little higher, it doesn't make much difference in this test but will a little

Is it me noticing a trend when new GPU hardware comes out when using the same Benchmarks we been using the whole time it takes a sick performance hit ?
Maybe it's the drivers they are releasing but i could of sworn a 660 performed better then what i just saw and Nvidia works well in mirrored mode unlike AMD
I think that i cant push much more higher clocks. :) Maybe i should flash bios2 of this card.. then i can run more voltages and everything.. now they are locked in bios1
Bios 2 on mine is called LN2 bios, it allows for a 130% Power target and slightly higher voltage, but I also have some software designed for the EVGA Classified which allows me to run up to 1.35V. It works but of course generates a lot more heat. It's trying to find the right balance.
I know I can score a bit higher in this benchmark, I was sure I did a 2150 point run, but thinking I could go higher I didn't save it. I may have imagined it lol, but I will give it another go soon when I get the time.
Yes LN2 it is :) ive seen people with 300% power target in this card with bios what they flashed, now i can get power target only 109%.. heat is not problem yet.. not above 70c with high overclocks.. in heaven benchmark.I think you done that 2150 points because u have been ahead me all the time :)

Cheers mate. Yep Temps AND noise :)
Especially happy since they are reference cooled.
As requested mate, one Extreme preset:
(haven't used the setting since Version 2.0 - normal to be windowed 1600x900 yeah?)
Cheers mate. In game performance is where it's showing it's strength. Not a massive leap from 670 tri to 780 Ti dual but it's let me nudge up some surround IQ settings into the playable category which is good. I can now play Metro LL at max IQ with SSAA @ 2.0 and keep it above the 30fps mark and playable. Far too jerky before.
Yeah, the noise/temp+extra Fps has been welcome indeed. The 670s were great cards all right. One's been earmarked as a gift to a mate and another "may" end up in my bro-in-laws PC. The last goes for sale - cheap
lol and no more money. But my wife never minded my hobby and now she's passed - no GF to complain so I can get away with it. Just...
Going to have to something one of the cards BIOS'es though. Card 1 sits at 1.12v full load while the 2nd at 1.162v - haven't done much overclocking yet but it's to be holding it back. Might clone the 2nd cards bios and copy it to the first card. I'd prefer that to using a custom BIOS atm.
What's odd is that there's only one card difference in the manufacturing serial. One of em's xxxxxxx89 the other xxxxxx91 - yet completely different BIOS settings
I can imagine how loud they were as mine are pretty loud too and need to run at near max fan speed's to keep below the 1st throttle point. Those 7 series reference cooler's are very god though and I've known people that planned to water cool change their mind once they'd used them. Can't be bad :)
I'm glad you're happy with your new toy's though.
Enjoy!
