Great clocks. 1050 core was my max or 1675mem but only one at time. Both overclocked id only survive 995-1560. Great job indeed. Any particular driver?

08evo Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I just ran this bench. And I have to say I am stunned with the score. I think I had the highest score according to 3dmark previous to this run with a 12949. Only thing different is my ram speeds and the removal of the Dell provided ram. Here is the 3dmark link of my before and after benches. Result And a screenie. And this is ran with svl7's 900mhz core vbios. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mw86 Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Mr. FOX rox nice work! Those scores are quite awesome. I like how the 680m at those clocks has over 100gtexels each card. At 1050mhz 7970m doesn't even reach that. Nice comparison of last gen and this generation of cards. 4.9ghz and 4.8ghz on the two benches is an awesome cpu clock. Keep up the amazing work. How are you enjoying the 680m SLI at this point? Paranoid Galaxy S3 on Tapatalk 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Thanks @mw86! Yup, really liking the 680M a lot. These are awesome GPUs. They game even more phenomenally than they bench, which is pretty amazing in itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mw86 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I agree Brian for now ive moved up to 990-1325-1.05v for gaming and seems good in temps for mine and gaming. Still tinkering. I hadn't had much function of them for months. 12.9 beta 7900mod driver has allowed me to game finally. Brian yours may need to stick to lower volts to get higher rather than the other way around. Some act weird on extra volts from card to card. Try starting low on stock volt.Paranoid Galaxy S3 on Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They game even more phenomenally than they bench, which is pretty amazing in itself. So most games you find you can run at higher overclocks than the other benchmarks? Some ways that makes full sense since those benches are a bit over most games... But I also see games like Metro and BF3 and such can sometimes reveal the need to go lower on the overclock. Example still tinkering but Dirt3 i can game fine at 1040mhz core 1625mhz vram @ 1.1v and wasn't overly hot. I load BF3 and play for extended periods that destabilizes. The vram clock especially. The volts especially. So i try that on BF3 and it did better at stock volt 990core no probs yet even 990core at 1.075v and 1.1v balked at me over time. 1625mhz vram in BF3 seemed to add to the destabilization the same so been working vram back up since atleast 990core was fine once on stock volt. See i had found on Dirt3 at 990-1375-1.075v a good range before i went up to the higher volt, core and vram. When the higher one failed in bf3 i tried as mentioned the 990 config to find the volts held it back and using stock allowed 990 to work then in BF3. So for 7970m it really takes some tinkering to get a feel for your cards. So MrFox for your new 680m sli what do you find as a good range for gaming using most of the potential available ie not a conservative overclock but one you feel seems stable in most games you may try? sorry for the big question.

In my case, even when I raise the voltage for both cards, only GPU 2 shows the increase while GPU 1 stays at 1.000v. I was thinking maybe if I swapped them and then flashed the slave card again, both cards would then have the same voltage. Who knows, just a theory but it might work and enable higher overclocking. BTW my GPU's don't get hot at all, I'm at 950/1400 and max temps are 73C for both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnksss Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Do you think that is a bug or both cards read the vbios differently when over clocking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted October 14, 2012 Founder Share Posted October 14, 2012 Do you think that is a bug or both cards read the vbios differently when over clocking?Hard to say, I do think its being read correctly because when I flashed to a 1000 mhz + higher voltage, GPU2 showed the change but GPU 1's voltage didn't change and 3dmark11 crashed right away as expected. I think if I tried the swap (or someone else did) it might just work but we won't know until its done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mw86 Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Watching afterburner osd with hwinfo volt reading i have seen very weird behavior too that meirrors your recant Brian, Mr Foxs and anyone else who observed strange volt readings. Seems as some have mentioned some or even all suffer problems switching volts and some dont even show the right volts. I dont see it being fixed flashing both from primary mxm slot with same vbios in two different sittings. Seems they really act random and faulty. I game on BF3 but turn around and same clocks dont survive 3dmark and next day they will. Ive had probs getting consistent results even when they stay stock. I like yhe 7970m but they truly are quirky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Man I miss my 680m already although these 7970s are working decently in all games. They just suck at overclocking. @Brian, I knew you were going to start missing those 680M beasts right away. After about of month of living with the 7970M Crossfire setup, I was wishing I still had my 580M SLI setup. Although not as powerful, at least it did everything I wanted it to do extremely well. The 7970M Crossfire setup left a lot to be desired in my experience, despite its brute force. Do you think that is a bug or both cards read the vbios differently when over clocking? It has to be the individual cards and not something externally that is influencing the behavior. I have seen examples of that issue concerning voltage in a number of 7970M cards posted about in multiple forums. The second set of more seriously borked 7970M cards that I received to replace the first set had that problem with the voltage right out of the box. The original 7970M GPUs always had the correct voltage, whether stock or altered with the vBIOS Patcher... always right on the money. Using the vBIOS patcher to try and correct it had no effect on the second set of cards. They always showed the incorrect voltage. On one card it was 3D state that was off, and the other card the 2D state was out of whack. Also, the 7970M cards in the M18x R2 that Riri-Fifi had were like this, but it did not affect his ability to overclock the dog dukey out of them. To see something interesting, start both of these videos at the same time... the second video runs longer, but the demo part is interesting to watch side-by-side. The overclock core and memory values on the actual benchmark results are very similar, even though one overall score is quite a bit higher than the other. If you run both in 1080p, you should be able to read the OSD monitoring on both videos. Here is another interesting side-by-side comparison of my best overclocked 3DMark11 results with each GPU. Look at the individual test results in each run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Brian Posted October 15, 2012 Founder Share Posted October 15, 2012 @Mr. Fox thanks for those videos and btw I noticed the same thing right away, that the framerate for each individual test was much higher with the 680M vs 7970M even if the overall score isn't much different. Oh and about missing the 680M, bro to quote a song from the 90s, I'm missing it like the desert misses the rain lol! To be fair I'd be ok with these things if they worked right but I suspect they are defective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 Also notice the micro-stuttering and faint bit of jerkiness with the 7970M? The 680M is noticeably smoother.My 7970M CF setup did a fairly decent job of gaming, too. Not much complaint there on my part, to be honest about it. A few games (like Skyrim) balked at the 7970M, but there are almost always some tweaks that will fix what doesn't do right. Although, I must say that my gaming experience overall was better with the 580M SLI setup I had before them. The image sharpness, color quality and smoothness was better with 580M SLI, and it is likewise better with 680M SLI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
