tbh i dont care at all with those Furmark/Kombustor or any GPU burning software....what we need to really care are those games benchmark and during gaming session. It's my personal opinion though and tbh when oc'ing I never run Furmark/Kombustor at all....a few loop of heavy benchmark for 1hour+ or few hours/days gaming session will do good to justify whether our OC is stable. just monitor the temp of vrm/core and also our core clock during the whole gaming or benchmark session.

btw, have you set power limit to the max already when running furmark? your GPU auto downclock could be due to reaching power limit or maximum safe temperature...need to check both of these and try run it again maybe with higher fan speed and see.

can someone post 7970 heaven 4.0 FPS/score for me? i want to make some comparison. i suspect my card is under performing. my score is 37.5 FPS/score 945

i've been trying to oc my card for one year already still stuck at 1100 core@1.069v. now running it with deepcool dracula the core is cool at 65c max but vrm temp is tad higher than my liking around 85-90 load.

anybody own 1.050vid card like me?can you share some tips please?

Some latest benchmark score, personal best so far for single GPU

3DMark (P)

3DMark Vantage


Valley 1.0


Heaven 4.0

which one is the worst?

see heaven benchmark there...min FPS 8.5 I guess that's the worst one
