Not wishing to dispute how great 7970 shapes up to be, I kinda don't agree. Apart from multi-monitor setups, my combination works great with all games I've thrown at it. The actual numbers for 5870 CF are actually very high as per reviews that rarely quote this combination possibly because it makes so much sense economically.

Any chance to compare it with this: http://3dmark.com/3dm11/1906775 (8379 3DMark 2011 on stock) on the 2011 version.

With my CPU at 4.25ghz and GPU at stock setting, I believe I score ~P84xx. With the card OC'ed @1125/1500, I got just under 9k.

looks like at stock, my score still below 8k..but that's still an impressive score.

yes agree stock looks kinda weak, but once you OC above 1250mhz it looks great

Overclocked 5870 CF to 890/1290 and got P8695. Can't link to it though. An interesting bit is that Graphics Test 1 on my system is way higher than even your overclocked 7970.

Hmm..which driver version you're using for your CFx setup right now? The driver i downloaded from AMD website looks kinda special as AMD named the file as "amd_radeon_hd7900_win7_64" and not "11-12_vista64_win7_64_dd_ccc_ocl". seems like AMD have their own special driver for 7970 but lets verify this. with yours.

You lucky fish! Actually, to compare, I'm only running i7 2600K at 3.9 GHz.

Yea i knocked mine down to 4.4GHz for the nice temps

Anyways these cards look awesome so far but too much dosh for me so im waiting on the 7950 prices

you're using an older driver than mine..maybe if compare raw power, your hd5870s are more powerful. i believe the reason why my score is higher than yours on graphic test 2-4 was basically due to tesellation. Graphic test 1 dont utilize tessel engine as much as GT 2-4, i think so.

You'll need to EDIT these numbers for the framerates as the table lost spaces between the graphics test number and those rates. People will be blown away :-)

Unigine test at 1680x1050 using the official comparison thread at forums. overclockers. co. uk /showthread.php?t=18249292 (note AA at 4 that needs to be set)

HD5870 CF overclocked at 890/1290

FPS: 70.3
Scores: 1772
Min FPS: 40.0
Max FPS: 160.5

Any 7970 results to compare?

Looks like mine is coming in tomorrow, early delivery by UPS. Yay! What's the overclock potential with the stock fan?

actually I'm testing with those setting upon warrior-kid's request..i dont run games/benches at those setting tbh.

ok I'll try to max the setting and rerun heaven 2.5. let's see the result.

update:
Max setting except only 4x AA.

Min FPS still below 30fps though

Great, I wish you can share your results soon

. we need more results here especially those with crossfire or even trifire HD7970s.

Nice, not as quick as I imagined though.
My GTX580 @ 920/4600 + 2500K@4.6GHz gets:

FPS 73.2
Score 1844
Min 39.1
Max 165.8

About 10% slower.
It will clock higher but I'm keeping temps below 65C.

Mate, at above GPU/CPU setting, what is your 3dmark11 score? mind sharing with us..
