That is good for a single card
Ok, whew. Thanks guys.
I took a look at some of the cards now that people had and whoa! I am not paying $600 for a graphics card. No wonder there scores were better then mine. Its like three times the speed and memory of my card.
Maybe I should get another 7870 in a crossfire
......But I don't really have the money for that, so yeah. That is going to have to wait haha.
Hey Paul did I mention to you that I couldn't flash my new card to Ghz bios ???
My bios is bricked on bios 2 I tried to fix it but oh well but when I did boot when I switched the cards the screen went goofy purple
My other card is flashedSo I am running straight stock cards all the way to the max 1125/1530 I could crank it to 1575 but what for I think my performance is maxed unless I get the other card to flash
Would you think it would make a difference if I turned on the one with the Ghz Bios for that extra jump or would it give it a slight boost
I am wondering about this because it will just be a bump to like 1155 /1550 ???![]()
That's a shame ain't it mate.
I don't think it will make any difference will it Solar, it always drops to the weakest card anyway.
I might be in luck I found a method that works a 100% for bios
So I am going to try what I got from here and I can supposedly still work the Ghz bios on the card I may not be beaten yet
How do I flash the BIOS of my reference 7970? - Guru3D.com Forums
OK, set to extreme, stock clock.
Quick OC, gpu 850 to 975
Memory 1250 to 1400
No change in temps, vrm's run 57-58 and gpu runs 59-60.
OK for a $200 GPU, actually $214 after rebate. I just went to buy a second one and the price is back up to $258...crap! Still has the $20 rebate for three more days.
I think I well Crossfire this.
