Those are great scores for the 290 tri-x. Makes me want to thinker more with mine as well. Nice one bro

Gotta love how the Zotac 780 Amp performs at its stock clocks. Even with 3dmark Firestrike you'll get 96xx score at stock.

It's getting rather tiresome to read the back and forth bickering.

Unseen83 is a very unique special individual, not everyone gets him. I don't. So I just make it a point not to reply any of his posts or get into any exchange of words with him. Some people are really.. an acquired taste.

End of the day its just e-peen. I'm quite certain both of you are not young cikus, infact I think both are 30+ in age. Chill la.

Crossfire Sapphire R9 290 Tri-X OC (Stock clocks 1000/1300).

Rest of the system as sig below except that the 3770k was on it's stock clocks as well.

Go ahead and add those stock 290 crossfire score I posted to the boards, will be posting up 290 crossfire OC'd in a few days

Why not both cards at pcie mode x8

Actually no harm to just pump direct to 1200/1700. If hang/artifact, then start going down from there. That's what I did with my 780's and they weren't even MSI Lightnings. You can do eeeeeet!

The power limit, temp target, etc, all just push the sliders to max. All the way to the right.

The first one was a Reference 780, Zotac. That card handled 1200/1700 benchmark-stable, but not gaming stable.. gaming had to lower a bit to 1150/1700.
Second was a 780 AMP! Edition, also Zotac.. this one was lower a bit at 1100/1650 max, stable.

No bios flashing on the reference, except for the AMP! card Zotac emailed me a fixed bios with the better fan curve.

Normally I see if 3dmark firestrike extreme no artifact/hang, loops unigine heaven and valley few times, no issue, and finally play a few games (graphic intensive) for a few hours no issue. ta-da, stable.
maybe some others have other methods.

Squeezed a bit more
290 Tri-X OC @ 1200/1500

ps; my previous single gpu 290 score was actually 1150 core not 1200. thx

Must admit these Maxwell cards overclock quite effortlessly, and this particular 980 is only a reference card. The custom pcb/cooler cards will be even more impressive.



Score: 1862
Core: 1331mhz, boosted to 1444mhz observed during Heaven run
Mem: 1950mhz
Max Temp: 74degrees
Fan Curve: Max 70%
Overvolting: None
Board Power Limit: 113%
Target Temperature: 85degrees

bro, I'm quite sure 1331/1950 is not the limit and will be trying to push it further when I have time again

But I'm really really looking forward to see what people do with their custom pcb/cooler 980s. Also, have faith in AMD still, first quarter 2015 we'll know!

Bro, you can get stock scores from most reviews online.

Have you considered transferring the leaderboard to a Google Doc spreadsheet instead?
Much easier to edit etc, can set permissions/access for extra people to help you maintain it as well.

Now I'm satisfied, for the time being Yes, still can push more!



Score: 1887
Core: 1355mhz, boosted to 1462mhz observed during Heaven run

That's really some l33t score you have there

Phase 1 of OC'ing the 980 Reference is done, which is trying to go as high as I can without over-volting. Phase 2, which will involve over-volt is next!

Couldn't get it stable at 1380mhz core with the memory clocked at 1950mhz, had to reduce memory by 30mhz.

Score: 1890
Core: 1380mhz, boosted to 1493mhz observed during Heaven run, this was continuously sustained throughout the entire benchmark run, almost 1500mhz boost clocks!
Mem: 1920mhz
Max Temp: 75degrees
Fan Curve: Max 75%
Overvolting: None
Board Power Limit: 113%
Target Temperature: 85degrees

Nice one Shep, now I'm motivated
Reference card as well? Does CPU affect Heaven benchmark? Currently running my 3770k at stock speed as didn't want to have both GPU & CPU overclocked due to this temporary PSU I'm using while waiting for RMA.

Started over-volting;

Score: 1922
Core: 1370mhz, boosted to 1502mhz observed during Heaven run, this was continuously sustained throughout the entire benchmark run.
Mem: 2000mhz
Max Temp: 78degrees
Fan Curve: Max 75%
Overvolting: Yes
Board Power Limit: 123%
Target Temperature: 90degrees
