hi i rma other month a 7870 xt because had coil whine. Now i want to buy a new card mainly for battlefield 4. What of those i should get? From overclockersdotcodotuk: MSI GeForce GTX 680 OC Twin Frozr 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card www.********************/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-156-MS MSI HD 7950 Twin Frozr III Boost Edition 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card **NEW REVISION** with FREE GAMES www.********************/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-190-MS
Not currently in stock, so you'd have to wait until the 30th. I'd probably grab the 680 for that sort of money though.
Mine was a revision too, i had the V2. After 2 days it just stopped working and the card was reported defective. But this obviously doesn't say sh*t, you will be fine.
I just tried to bench 3dmark11 with 1200/1400 1.225v/1.6v, 50% fan speed. PScore 9858 Graphics Score 10768 Physics Score 7954 Combined Score 8211 Max temp after a couple of runs 59C. Now I'm tempted to run this as a 24/7 overclock... EDIT: my physics score used to be around 82xx, it's down 300 points for whatever reason hmm Checked bios, RAM is running 1600mhz with correct timings, just like before, also CPU definitely is at 4.5ghz. But I'm 300 points short, any tips? EDIT2: managed to get my Physics score up to around 8050 by changing some secondary RAM timings from auto to what they should be, but that's still some 180 points down from what it used to be. I'm baffled. For whatever reason I get less physics points on the p8z77-v pro than on the old p8z68-v lx. weird.
Raising system ram speed to 2133 will help your score. I had 1600 rams before and always clocked the ram for benches
yeah, but I used to run 1600mhz before too and the score was almost 200 points higher. So I'm getting less performance with same hardware, motherboard being the only change. I'll try to oc the ram, but the ripjaws x aren't supposed to be good overclockers.
My ddr3 1600 were old ripjaws and hit 2133 no problem. You are going to have to loosen your main timings a bit
Trying 1866 now with 10-10-10-25 I'll post back in a minute, still doesn't explain why 1600mhz scores less. EDIT: Scored 8311 Physics score with the RAM at 1866 and 10-10-10-25 (1600 ran with 9-9-9-24). So slightly more than I ever scored with ram at stock speeds. Now I'm thinking I'll just keep this RAM overclock. If it dies, I'll just buy new RAM. Yeah, f*ck it. One thing, I used to overclock RAM back in the day of Athlon64 Winchester, haven't really done it since, I'm assuming running the ram at 1866 with 10-10-10-25 will be ok, correct? With stock 1.5v.
