Hey

I have been little bit worried about my pc's gaming performance for sometime so I decided to do some Unigine Heaven 4.0 benchmarks and the results shocked me


Score seems to be way too low for my setup and I noticed also huge fluctuation on core clock. Am I dealing with faulty gpu or something else? I haven't overclocked or tweaked any of my gpu's settings so those are out of the question. Thanks in advance.

My specs:
i7-4790K
XFX 7950 DD Black edition
8Gb ddr3 2133MHz
Evga supernova g2 750W
Asus ranger z97
phanteks ph-tc14pe
1Tb hdd
512 Gb ssd

Pic is really small. Is your core clock the one that's around 300MHz at the end? It looks to me that it only goes up to ~600 or 700 or so during the run. Core should be closer to 1000. Mine ran the valley benchmark at 1GHz.

Core clock fluctuates between 300Mhz and 900Mhz. Card is factory overclocked to 900Mhz. I raised the power limit in MSI afterburn to +20% but it made no diffence.

Looks like to me that it spends to much time down to low. Hard to tell with that pic. Might want to take it out and clean it?

Installed my old asus 5770 card and ran the same benchmark. Score was little below 400. I monitored core clock and gpu usage with afterburner, everything was smooth and no fluctuations occurred. Maybe I should sent it to RMA....

something tells me your anti alias setytings in catalyst are set to super sample could you check and set them to multi

Anti-aliasing was set to multisampling and I cleaned the card couple days ago so I think those are out of the question
