Hey mate what were the numbers??? And approximate fps on benchmark???

I will test my system when i get back from work in a few days.

I got a 3930k @ 4.5 on an ASUS RIVE with 16gb 1600 RAM @ 1666 (Im ruinning 125mhz BCLK & 36x CPU)
Will be upgrading to 32gb corsair Dominator GT 2133 (Hoping it will reach 2333...fingers crossed)
Also a Silverstone Zeus ZM1350 PSU and 3x 7970's reference (925 & 1375 stock) @ 1050 Base & 1500 Memory

On a single 1920x1080 i was getting 85-95 fps (I know it depends on the scene) and i think the score was just over 7000 (With everything max) Also 3dmark11 i got just under 21,000 (13.4 drivers) and just under 23,000 (13.6 drivers but not WHQL)

I'll make sure to do the heaven test on 3xdell 22' (1680x1050 max)

PS: did i notice those Nvidia cards stuttering during the test......

I put all of the results in the About section of the videos.

Well I was completely wrong with my score (It had a 7 in it).....lol



AND only 1920x1080....but i will do it again this weekend on a 3x1 setup (5040x1050)
BUT here is the gpu usage:



AND fps and frametime:



I have read heaven benchtest does favour nvidia cards:
http://www.tweaktown.com/review/4900/sa ... ndex5.html
But maybe u could run one more test at 1920x1080 (It still uses 3.5Gb VRAM at this res) and if u could post up the results, I had everything maxed with 8xAA for my run.

RED VS GREEN.....LOL

Also if u could give Furmark a go.....(1.9.2)
I got a crazy score on my second burn in benchtest, uses hardly any vram but loads up cards...



I was actually getting 99% use on all 3x7970's as opposed to 65-67% in heaven...



And a 3dmark11 score (The one with the subs and jungles)



But this was after getting new ram (32gb 2133 corsair dominator gt), catalyst 13.4 drivers.

If anyone else has some similar results would be great to see & compare

Just finished doing a heaven 4 run with 3x dell lcds at a res of 5040x1050
Catalyst 13.4 drivers scored on the mid 900's (WTF!!!!) this result was with 13.8 beta1 driver.



The stuttering is SOOOOOO annoying, I cant even call it microstutter because there is no fluidity to the rendering at 35fps or below... When V-sync is enabled it is much better and smoother, but the scores come down to the 1100's. The difference between 13.4 and 13.8 beta is huge for tri-fire. I mean, if the AMD team can slap together some makeshift drivers overnight to run dirt3 (I know its only 1 game)
http://blogs.windows.com/windows/b/extr ... econd.aspx
why is the driver support for this hardware so........... Its almost 20 months since the 7970 was released.... Microstutter is no problem if you can render above the displays refresh rate and turn on v-sync, but to be honest i didnt spend $1500 to be capped @ 60Hz.

At least this time i was getting 99% on all 3x7970's. And using almost 7gb VRAM!

Try 5760 x 1080.

I can't my screens are 1680x1050 max
But was wondering how your scores were so high and noticed u have AA off! So i redid a run with AA off and here are my results:



So I figured a rough way to compare the results:
Your pixel count 6030x1200=7236000
My pixel count 5040x1050=5292000
So to compare 7236000/5292000=1.367
Your Score 1107x1.367=1514

I know this is not a direct comparison but a rough indicator (And i can't afford to buy 3xlcds atm)

PS- Awesome RIG! Im just waiting for some free time (Will need a few days at least!) to put my watercooling on mine, will do a dual loop also. Hopefully then ill be able to push these cards a bit further (Or cook them, but either way im gonna do something with them....lol)
