Benchmark again 1125/1575

Max GPU temp : 74 degrees
Max GPu voltage :1.175

Hmm , is my voltage ok ? or do I need to lower it , electricity bill very expensive ?

Score : P9164

I just played a game for 2 hours .. Max temp with the OCed card 81 degrees.. is this ok ? 

How to enable unofficial overclocking ?

You are AWESOME!!!! . ..     
one more thing WTF with my score... i cant even get pass 9k marks in Performance benching...
PS: already clock at 1150/1600       

edited: is CPU contribute that much for score because im using 2500k running at 4.8

max temp recorded by Asus GPUTweak hit 61C; somehow i find it inaccurate as MSI AB & TRIXX reporting 51C
ambient here is 35C at night.

Today I tried 1200/1625 at 1.2v.. Can I reach 1275 with 1.3v? I tried 1275 with 1.25v my screen freeze

+1
Water is always more efficient than air in heat dissipation. These are my EK FC7970 plexi-nickel blocks:

I believe GTX680 will be faster than 7970 just don't know by how far. Just wait and see. 
7970 X3 is surely better than GTX580 x3 on these benchmarks.

GTX580 x3 @ 950/4100MHz 1.212v

GTX580 x3 @ 960/4100MHz 1.212v

But AMD should really improve their driver department leh...
Some games ie. LoTR WotN got serious stuttering issues.
Sometimes my windows taskbar flickered said to be caused by conflict between 2D/3D profiles.

AMD,

I ran benchmark at 1200mhz , 1.2v.. no problem , after i play for quite long then my screen freeze =.=. because not enough voltage?

i lower the core to 1175mhz, also screen freeze..

What game? my skyrim yesterday lagging very very bad.... 5fps only..

ahaha, well that because of my graphic mod dint go well.... btw, i got BSOD many time when trying to OC before...
Posibilities if your GC performance down because of the software/forceware/ccc . . i dont think BSOD can make hardware performance down... maybe abit but not noticable..

1125/1575 @ 1.75v ,Screen freezes, and then this comes out "ATI graphic card stop working and recovered..."



What should I do ?

No bluescreen.

Normally it run fine but just now it stop working and recover.

GPU Load Temp : 62degrees.

Benchmark also runs fine.

just got my 7970 today
minor oc to 20%,
1110 clock with no voltage rise

Although this is a 7970 OC thread. I hope this is quite a good info for guys who wants to know how 7970 vs 6990.

ASUS HD6990 - 11350 3DMark11 (OCed)
Core: 940MHz, Memory: 1320MHz

CPU: Intel i7-2600K @ 5.2GHz
Mainboard: ASUS Maximus IV Extreme-Z
Memory: Avexir 4GB 2000 CL9 x 2
PSU: Seasonic X-850

I don't think i want to try it out with standard cooler, its running really hot already.

It's about 10 -15 FPS more when overclocked on my settings. Is it much? Yes and no. 10 - 15 FPS is not much when you already running at 60 or more FPS. But it is something when your non OC card drops to 40 FPS.
Basically it helps me to stay at or near 60 FPS at all times. And with proper cooling i can push it even further, so to answer your question real simple : Yes it helps much to OC the card and play any game witch is as demanding as BF3.

Added on February 22, 2012, 6:39 pmSo is here anyone who can give me an clear answer on this? :

1. Can HD7970 when getting to hot, turn whole system off and keep it off for like 4 - 5 minutes?
2. If video card can not do that , what components can?
