here's mine running r9-290 @ 1206MHz/1420MHz

that's not even a good score tbh..you on the other side with your dual 290x should scored much higher that that...cpu bottleneck? you should monitor both GPU usage during benchmark..use afterburner.

your 780 score was even better than mine anyway, nice OC mate . This is the max I can do on air..

yeah no wonder yours so powerful. mine is reference..running those clocks at ~1.22v that's the max I can go with MSI AB..

I was also using sapphire 290 card but we can still use msi ab, asus gpu tweak and so on to OC as well as monitoring our sapphire GPU, there's no software brand restriction for our card .. if you find overclocking as a fun thing..then enjoy overclocking bro

@Yagami..thanks bro

sure, will do that later..busy modding atm

here's another run 1240MHz/1375MHz, 1600x900 only though..1080p later. But this time with Accelero Extreme III cooler, really recommend this cooler

VRM1 - 87'C
VRM2 - 54'C
max temp - 65'C
fan speed - 100% virtually silent

I'll try to break 2k barrier later

yea, thread like this actually needs dedicated and committed TS like yagami so that people would love to join in, glad to have this thread here for Malaysia's PC enthusiast community

Whoa, You don't really need 200mV for 1225, instead try 150mV or lower first.. should be enough for 1225MHz core. I just set 130mV for 1240MHz core but of course different chip requires diff amount of power to stabilize at certain clocks..try reduce the Voltage to necessary level to reduce VRMs and GPU temps bro..take a good care of our expensive GPU life

no time to OC until today , at last manage to get past 2k barrier..
btw unseen83 Nice score you got there ...I hope no driver tweak involved there

cpu: 4.8GHz
core/mem: 1250MHz/1375MHz
FPS: 79.5
Score: 2003
1600x900


1920x1080
core/mem: 1255MHz/1385MHz
score: 1531 , FPS 60.8

Its not driver mod but instead CCC override settings.. I'm just curious because the difference is so obvious that's why..20fps difference with a higher clock R9-290, now that's questionable.. no offense bro just wondering

if 290x true potential is really that much more powerful than 290..then I guess its time for an upgrade

nah my 290 is no longer considered reference since it's already equipped with something as powerful as Tri-x cooler already

hmm..pardon me but I don't really face that problem tbh, been gaming at 1440p max settings possible I'm hardly get 60++fps with single 290 so tearing not a big issue to me. so far I can clearly see tearing in "Dishonour" and "Bioshock Infinite" games which is too obvious to me. Enabling V-sync solved that.

opening the case, full blast air-cond etc will only help cooling the card and stabilize the OC, there's no further improvement on FPS at all by doing that unless the card was throttling before. so I still in doubt haha

btw, he's on haswell not ivy bridge and so far that I concern at this level of processing power, cpu wont give us huge boost in performance anymore, maybe 2-3 FPS at max. Since I'm running 4.8GHz haswell and unseen83 only 4.3GHz which is much lower than me that's why I've been questioning the score even more. this has nothing to do with jealousy whatsoever but more onto the fact behind the score, of course 290x is better than 290. from what I know 290 perf is close enough to 290x even when both cards oc'ed. It might be the driver 14.1 or something to do with win8 maybe?

well bro this isn't a 24/7 score at all. most 290 can only be stabilize around 1075-1125 max 24/7 with air cooling and I believe your 7970 can do more than that. from my own test, this 290 was only about 20-25% faster than 7970 GHz. same goes when comparing OC'ed result for both cards. 7970 was still a beast card in my book..

I vote for 1440p leaderboard, as this has become quite a common resolution for enthusiast pc gamer nowadays. furthermore I don't think it'll be a hassle for TS since not much people gaming at this res just yet in Lyn.

At least we can see how good our current GPUs lineup handle the benchmark at 2560x1440 res . Yagami5159, if you want to test your280x toxic at 1080p and 1440p, feel free to visit me at Greenlane

lol should have ask me to go there with you...they can give me RM1600 for 290 Tri-X..regular customer price

Stock R9-290 CFx 900p, later will do 1080p, GPU scaling is quite good from single to CFx in this bench.



OC'ed 1150/1325

Bro, mine was 290s not 290Xs. both OC'ed to 1200/1350 below:

Trifire 290x+ 290s, scored quite low due to massive throttling on 290x, probably due to 4xPCIe 3.0 and no more bridges for CF. Tri-CF Config was 8x,4x,4x PCIE 3.0..quite bad
all 290x and 290s were at stock speed.

1600x900


1920x1080

one card same as you bro (290x tri-x ), but dunno why I cant compete your score even when I oc it to 1235MHz core and 1550MHz Mem but still much lower than yours , probably the driver.

yea the score is very low for 3x 290s but as I mentioned before its due to massive throttle on 290x and there's also throttling on both 290s cores, but guess I just ignore them because wont be using this setup anymore..just for the sake of testing , new score with new setup will comes later

you mean bought right? yes we have same card now bro ...currently doing driver analysis before deciding to stick to which driver for a while before new WHQL driver surfaced.
