How are the new drivers treating you?

Pretty good actually. Far Cry 3 is very playable now and games feel alot smoother

Nice! Got the card up and running I see. How many volts were you pushing through the core?

1.3v but it can't get no higher than 1250/1700

Really? 3DMark11 must be more GPU-intensive than Valley 1.0 as the card hit 1275/1650 in that benchmark.

Did you sell the 7870's? I see you got your water-cooling up and going. Where are the pics?

Yes there gone.



Here ya go

Nice man! Looks like that 7970 is performing very well. Water-cooling looks very stout and you got that 8320 up to 4.8Ghz , nothing like Intel blue in an AMD rig

What case is that?

Well blue is my favorite color.

I'm trying for 5GHz and its a Fractal Arc Midi R2

How about waiting for the new drivers and see if crossfire works better? If it does then a 2nd 7870 will likely give you better/equal performance than the 9970(?). Definitely better than a 7950.

I'm thinking the same thing.Have a 7870, but not in a rush to buy a new vid card; will wait until 9xxx series comes out, to make a decision. Hopefully, by then there will be a solution to the Xfire problems.
