5387 and i cant get anymore from it ram stuck at 1250 , even 1255 is not good - core maxes at 1210

Yeah I'm impressed with macadee's card, unless he's overvolting or something.

edit: ah the table is wrong, his is a 7850 so probably easier to hit higher freq. as fewer compute units etc.

1090t @ 3.6 GHz, 7870 Tahiti LE @ 1130/1620

[Macadee]

Damn, that 7970 is looking even more tempting now.

Must resist, must resist, must resist.....

I'd wait for the 8970 vs 780 battle in a couple of months. The 7970 is good but will be old hat very shortly

[Macadee]

Yep, hanging on for 8 series and Haswell but getting itchy fingers with them going back.

Why not go for a bang-for-buck approach: set yourself a budget, then work out how to get the most 3dmark points for the money That'd satisfy your new hardware and tweaking itch without spending big bucks

It seems 8 bit on the OcUK forums who is a member of staff and has some records on HWBot, has hinted the HD8970 is going to be a fast card. Of course,we will need to wait and see.

[Phage]

Yeah, I saw that. I'm also intrigued by Tarinder's hinting earlier.

I suspect that must be for Geforce Titan.

Hmmm i got over my initial roadblock and hit a new one. Doubt i would go top anyway now like but still...

Anyone still using older NVidia drivers, make sure you update to the newest version as it has sizable improvements to your score!

GPU clocks are actually 1050/1790

Could probs squeeze a bit more out of my GPU

Bagnaj97, can you distinguish the 7870 (LE) cards in the table (ie keep the (LE) )? They're actually tahiti cards like the 7970/7950 series. Not pitcairn like the normal 7870/7850.

I tried OC the memory...lowered my score down to 7000. Plus I read that there's not too much to be gained by OC the memory and it shortens the life of the card.

You mean lowered to 6000 unless you're score increased?

Also you might wanna post the link to your score otherwise it won't be published on the table

I'll see what difference stock memory clock makes to mine, first time I have OCed a gfx card
