Please feel free to post gaming overclocks with whatever you feel like providing... Gpu clocks, game settings, gpu control panel settings, temps, pics videos or anything you feel like posting as I said. There are plenty of games and all gpus handle different so this will help those in the search of clocks. The more posts the better idea we all can get of the average handling of our gpus :)

Widezu, RiRiFiFi, Geocake are members whom clocked very high 1050core+ in benchmarks so they may be able to provide some great insight too.

Benchmark ranges are welcomed too. Note benchmark handling since its shorter than how long games load gpu... handling may vary greatly from gpu to gpu, from game to game and from bench to bench. There will be no list in this OP rather everyone feel free to document your handling here.

Is the enduro under-utilization issue fixed with the 12.9 drivers? Or are you running off the dedicated CPU directly?

The 12.9 beta 7900mod drivers help but the big fix for that comes in the next driver or the official 12.9 maybe.

I am running in an M18xR1 which does not have the same gfx switching... I must restart to enable my iGFX. So enduro can't be used on my system. The effects of enduro therefore aren't something i can comment on. The performance is comparable in those systems if the iGFX is disabled though. The underutilization on any 7970m is not fully fixed yet Enduro or not but this driver plus the mods to the driver help the underutilization. Any otger questions i would be glad to answer.
