Yeah I'm happy so far, they run a bit cooler than my 780's so that's another bonus
Well, I picked up a 3rd 7950 for $120 the other day and decided to put it through it's paces. They aren't heavily overclocked or optimized, but I'm pretty happy with the results. Any pointers on Trifire?

At this point, I wish I was running either an ivybridge-e or a new haswell-e, just for the extra pci express lanes
If you'll look, my graphics score blows away even the 980, it's my physics and combined that's hurting my score. Why are they so low compared to others with similar/lower cpu's? I'm only running my 4770k at 4.2, but that still seems low to me.
That Classy scores very well Steve, nice 1 mate
Nice run SikMindZ,

Great run ganjiry. I have a few questions for you though. If you'll look at just the graphics score part of your run and mine, they are just hairs away from each other. We have the same CPU as well and I'm wondering what you're doing to get your physics and combined up to where they are. I can squeeze 4.35Ghz out of my CPU without going over the 1.325 vcore limit I set myself at, due to degradation levels once you go over(which I know is meant for long periods, but I try to play safe with my hardware).
Cheers mate
Yeah the graphics scores are very close aren't they but my physics and combined are just due to a higher cpu freq. At the min it's running 4.6 @ 1.296v with stock uncore. With 3 cards your limiting factor will always be the cpu. You could increase the uncore/cache but weather or not it will benefit I don't know as it seems a bit hit n miss.
Sounds like you won the chip lottery, however...I did a little tweaking on my cards, check this score out.

*edit*
Haha, just noticed we even have the same motherboard. Great minds and all that.
Nice increase mate
Yeah I noticed you had the Hero too, its been a good board so far but I still have a fair bit to suss out as this is my first Intel build.
