I flashed the vbios with the Modded Sky Bios so I could get volt unlocks. I get a base core clock of 1045 MHz and there are no boost clock for this vBios, plus my mem is from Samsung, so it definitely gives more room to OC.

Yagami5159 I think you still got hackcremo's score wrong. And it's a HD 7870 XT model, not the regular 7870.

Memory clock: 1300 MHz

Unigine Heaven scores

GPU-Z

Ayam no likey to overclock GC.

  how come Asic is 65% only ? ?  my is 73%... i thought if Sapphire Trix edition same  ASiC.. soo is true then... Lucky big belly budha like me...   lol

haha why end sentence i say lucky budha like me...  but my seller say.. they say lah.. Powercolor and Sapphire higher Chance  got  high ASIC %...  kinda make sense, My previous card Powercolor R9 290X got 71+ % meanwhile my sapphire R9 290X got 73+%...

what u doin Encourage ppl to OC their lovely cards.. hiyaa! u nih... (i like seat top feel each time i fart everyone smell it ) joke! 

Hi guys. Loooooooonnnnngggg absence since I've played Flappy Bird a week straight and I'm still mad with it.

By the way, my 2nd system is upgraded again, now changing CPU thanks to a user in OC.uk willing to swap his 3970x with my 2500k, only adding 300+ RM (mine's 2500k got a rare batch no, don't know what it means and what the user will do with it, suppose OC'ing it). I also upgraded the ACX cooler to Accelero Extreme III (man I was totally screwed up my 3 weeks card, in a good way.) now I could OC more, hehe....

Stay Tuned and here's my new system:


Heeheehee...hahaha
EDIT: If you all asking why I used Classified controller for me SC EVGA, I would say because it's working for me. hehe.

Mine:





Core 1030 Mem 1400
CPU stock

I tried printscreen but all I got is black image, dunno why.

I use MSI Afterburner.

For heaven, press F12 it will take a SS and save in ur Personal Folder in Windows 8 

Here is my result after watercooled my 290 & run a simple overclock

CPU: All stock
GPU: Core - 1150mhz VRAM- 1250mhz

Yeah but was looking forward to GTX770, since I heard the performance is more or less equivalent with the R9 280X.

Nope, just the GTX770, especially Zotac GTX770 AMP!.
Hide yo cats, red flag is invading *joke*

Before I bought the 280X i was stuck whether to buy GTX770 or R9 280X, since I heard some people said their performance is equivalent, well...i take a leap of faith.

Joke of the day:

random note:

i asked a friend to benchmark his GTX770 AMP! but he said he kept crashing and unable to complete his benchmark. how come ar?


his score

quite possible, though he already using it since last year dee. takkan now only show up problems?

but his rig do crashes alot even on normal games, no idea whats the problem too

like when he run games, then alt tab or do something, he have a higher chance of CTD

when he open Chrome+game, he also can CTD

pelik wan

but no artifacts or any other symptoms of unstable OC

my friend say he suspect he not enough RAM (4GB only)

oh well, still got Zotac 5 year warranty

haha he not really tech enthusiast, so i dont think he knows how to downclock (or if he even wanted to)
cause his PC is seriously laggy, like lag until can make my PC feels fast like god tier

open Chrome >5 tabs, he can CTD
open Chrome, Steam, Origin, Skype, he lagging dee. mouse slowdown and apps stuttering

but i still highly doubt its the RAM also, considering i used 4GB before and it wasnt even as horrible as his case

before that on his GTX460 also he lagging alot dee btw

this was when hes doing first test


bear in mind 720p yeah deswai the score super high
im also baffled, no idea whats the main cause

my only suggestion to him atm is to get until 8GB RAM and see if the lag persists, if it does, must be something wrong either on hardware or software side

shop, from Cyntrix Tech

well, considering stock AMP! is 1150MHz, vs 1306MHz on the Unigine Heaven, its as if he obtain ultra golden chip
