reference design got heat problem cause the fan is small ( for me)..if that custom like dual fan i think if we throttle fan manually tp 60-70% don't give d*mn loud noise..my 7970 reference i throttle 50% is already bising...if throttling to 60-70% sure "sakit hati" (bising)..

I don't care much about noise, what I can hear is from my speakers. (I always play games in hi volume)

Got my Sapphire HD 7950 OC today, here's some benchmark compare to my previous HD6870

(from left to right)1=6870ref, 2=6870@980mhz, 3=7950ref(900mhz), 4=7950ref(900mhz) Max setting


Attached thumbnail(s)

The performance was almost double up from your previous HD6870. Once you OC kaw kaw the HD7950, I believe it can perform even better than stock HD7970

Ya, I think so..currently working on stable OC (1Ghz/6Ghz +20%power ctrl)
Not dare to try TriXXX to increase voltage, but I'm happy with what I've achieve

Update OC result for Furmark 1080p benchmark
900mhz/1250mhz = 2325 (57c)
1Ghz/1500mhz = 3267 (63c)

Increase about 25% (but I only increase 10% frequency, how come? )

Added on October 2, 2012, 11:25 pmI have a question, hopefully sifu(s) here can answer.
In CCC overdrive, power control.

7950 is a 160W TDP card, by increasing toward 20% setting means allowing 200W TDP for the GC.
Question: Does this means the GC are always working on 200W? Or the 20% means the extra voltage given only when the card need it?

Thanks in advance

3dmark11 = P7960


Finally Achieve HD 7970 reference (at least in 3dmark11)
Unable to Run in game benchmark, no idea why..

Now looking forward for higher level

bro may i asking wat soft ur using to benchmark that gpu..???

the difference from 6870 to 7950 so huge...

Currently benched with 3dmark11, 3dmark Vantage, Heaven 3.0, Furmark, Batman: arkham (Can't get this right, as ref higher than OC)
I believe the improvement from 6870 to 7950 is close to 100%

btw bro welcome to 7800/7900 series OC thread and becoming new member ..hehehhe

can u give the link that software to me..???

You can download lots of benchmark from here FREE

ok thanks...

No worries. Please share some benchmark once you have the result

sure..why not???..i will post after i benchmark..

Yesterday I try to Run Splinter Cell Conviction
And switch on SSAA (which i believe only AMD offering this Anti-Aliasing) in 4X
The graphic is phenomenal, even the leaf and many background detail is anti-aliased. However, this take a huge punch on performance, give it a try

this is my screenshot benchmark...

Nice
Why don't you try some extreme setting? Your card deserve for a Max test

kabaBOOMM!!!...

Impressive
May I know your CPU & GPU frequency?

just using default clock 925/1375 and 50% speed fan...

Thanks, how about CPU? did you OC your CPU?

nope bro..using like u i5 2500k with stock cooler..
