I haven't kept up to date on 3dmark scores ... what that does roughly equate to??

A gtx680.

Right around stock 680 performance.

 

[Tempered81]

It's about 470 SLI speeds

Is it? Mine have never scored below 12k.

The 7800 series is really turning into a monster for overclocking with decent cooling

OVP is holding back my 7850. I have adequate cooling. Bios just won't let me take it high. Someone needs to update RBE so i can modify the bios

Time to get out the solder gun then Don 🙂

This is scoring higher than a 680, about 200 points higher. Amazing...



Bulldozer is failing AMD's own GPU... ouch!

You have the special BTF edition 470's I thought

On topic that is a pretty good overclock for air!

 

[BallaTheFeared]

Pitty he never uploaded them to 3Dmark.

Highest I saw on futuremark was 1331Mhz with a score of 7811 GPU, without modified tess levels.

Just the card I was waiting for. The HAWK series is more impressive than the lightning cards IMO. I remember they were the 1st 460s over 900.

This is as fast as 7970 at 1175 1625 approx

The graphics score is only 100 less the 3770k, but the physics score is pretty poor. I don't really understand since physics should like more cores.

 

[BallaTheFeared]

It does, that's just how slow each core is of bulldozer.

Haha, at this point just call em Hell Spawns - I'm sure everyone will catch the ref. Balla is on his way to becoming his own Meme. Haha.

On topic: Now, how many of us are going to buy these cards and EXPECT to hit these speeds?

The HD 78xx series has a lot of muscle under their hoods, if you get the right one it seems.

 

[SickBeast]

Wow. Perhaps I can dream of 1400mhz on my 7850 once I install better cooling and get a proper bios on the thing.

I believe these cards have better components, so probably not likely you'd hit that high...

But, you can try! The sky is the limit, just don't kill your card.

 

[aaksheytalwar]

Won't you need water with top 1% cards to hit this high?

what about pricing? 7870 is already bunched too close to reduced 7950 prices...

What an awesome card!

 

[Zebo]

Nice cards. Too bad one can't find the MSI Power Edition or Hawk 7xxx anywhere. They are really really well built and the cards to get.

 

[Don Karnage]

They should be out later in the week
