Post your 7970 overclocks here!

[ltbenjamin]

Im curious to know what everyones getting on their 7970s. In particular sapphire vapor-x 7970 ghz editions with 3gb as thats what i got. Also listing your fps in gw2 with all settings maxed would be cool. Or heaven bench. I got 50-75 fps with my card at stock on a 1080p res with every single settings maxed. Bout to go through the overclocking process when i get home.

Also list your cards asic quality score. Right click gpu z above tabs and click find asic quality. Mines only 60.8%!! I hope that asic is a sham like some say. Bcuz its a number pre stamped to your card by factory and all nvidias list 100%+

Dang aint nobody got time for dat?

2x 7970's (non ghz editions)

card1 - asic 64.5%
card2 - asic 81.4%

Overclocked to Core - 1125 , memory - 1575 on both

what would make this thread relevant would be GPU-Z screenshots and benchmarks, anyone can come on here and say they got xxx OC on their card.

 

[ltbenjamin]

Screenshots would be cool but i have faith in my peeps. Its not a contest i just know alot of people are curious as to what the avg OC ability of 7970 is.

I only got a HD7950 but it does 1150/1500 @ 1.16V with a ACIS of 83% (I think).

Dang whys mine only 60.8%? I was running 3dmark basic yesterday (stock gpu settings) and when it got to the 5th or 6th video is started showing the temple in rainbow colors like it was glitching. Does this mean my card cant handle stock settings or is it normal for 3dmark?

 

[ltbenjamin]

It was the last test it got funky on. It tests cpu and gpu. Maybe it was 3dmarks fault. A stock 3570k and stock 7970 ghz should handle it rizight? Ugh hope its not a crappy card

Test some other benchmarks and test some games to see if it's just 3DMark being weird.

 

[ltbenjamin]

It played heaven bench and gw2 on ultra perfectly

 

[JJ1217]

asic quality honestly doesn't really affect overclocks, its calculated by how high the voltage is on stock. The GPU could still be a beast overclocker.

That's good then, I would only start being concerned if it was happening in other benchmarks or games, it's probably a 3DMark or driver issue.

 

[ltbenjamin]

I have also read that asic is meaningless, but why then does it exist? Weird. Im hoping it really is just a random meaningless number. Prolly nvidia tryin to make amd look bad with a fake reading lol. All nvidias say 100%+ so maybe gpu-z is in with nvidia! Conspiracy!!!

Heres my build. I got i5 3570k at 4.2ghz and the 7970 ghz at 1100 right now. Just gettin my toes wet. Overclock more little by little. Good pics let me know what yall think!

Hello. I have a xfx 7970 GHz edition with a asic # of 60. My system includes a 3570k oc'd at 4.2 Ghz on stock voltage running on a ASRock Extreme4 MOBO. By slowing raising the gpu clock speed I was able to achieve 1180 Mhz comfortably. As for the memory clock speed, using the same method I was able to raise it to 1700 without any malfunctions. I used CCC for the overclocking.

My vapor-x 7970 boost edition has ASIC of 81.7%. It is stable at 1265 core@1.275v and 1590 memory.

Whats your 3dmark p-score? My vaporx 3gb is at 1200 and 1700mem. 1256v. My i53570k is at 4.5ghz and 1.32v and ram is at 8-8-8-24 and my p-score is P10380

 

[ltbenjamin]

I get 20-30 fps on crysis 3 campaign with the highest possible settings on 2560x1440 monitor. 120 on gw2 and bop2 same settings.
