Great score Ryan, I take it you got your new cables? I can't remember if you said or not.

Cheers chap! Yeah i waited to install the psu untill i got the cable's as i couldnt bring myself to install it knowing the Bright yellow wires on the end of the cables were going to really bug me lol. So i borrowed the 40 notes to buy em

Added a couple of pics to my album chap http://www.sevenforums.com/album.php?albumid=1040

Here is mine, disappointing the min is so low...it stuttered in the hallway of the dark building on the one slide, and killed my score.

Wondering if I should rerun it...

 

[AddRAM]

And run it on Extreme

 

[paulpicks21]

Yeah run it on the Extreme Preset Andrew.

 

[andrew129260]

I feel like this is bad, but here goes:
(I chose preset extreme) Stock everything

 

[paulpicks21]

That still ain't right Andrew, but I can see why... The Extreme Preset by default must use 1600x900 resolution, but your monitor is only 1440x900 so it cannot run it as it should and is forced to change it to Custom.

No big deal.

 

[andrew129260]

Ah, my monitor supports it, I just like the 1440*900 better. My monitor supports up to 1600*1200

Question then? Is my graphics card crap? Cause I am looking at everyone elses scores and am like woah....or do they have them overclocked or something?......I mean, I'm happy with it, but my girl is going to be doing a lot of video editing so just wondering. I thought I picked out a great card.......
..tomb raider looks amazing, and I get a consistent 75fps in that game..

(I'm really new to the whole benchmarking thing)

Excuse my ignorance. I feel stupid right now.

 

[paulpicks21]

No mate, the 7870 is not crap, it's an excellent mid range card. It's just the others you have been looking at are mostly top of the range really expensive cards or people with 2 cards running SLI or XFire setups.

 

[Dude]

That is good for a single card

 

[andrew129260]

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.

I'm fighting a 3d crash in PassMark but Heaven Benchmark runs OK.

Nice score mate :thumsup:
Try running it in the extreme hd preset though

+1 to that. That's what we normally run it at madcratebuilder

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 flashed :sarc: So 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 ??? :devil:

 

[paulpicks21]

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

Nice find chap hopefully it work's out for ya mate..

 

[madcratebuilder]

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.
