7950 Vapor-X 1070/1600

7970 Vapor-X Ghz 1070/1600

7970+7950 in Crossfire 1075/1575

Temps rarely shot above 62C in Crossfire, VRAM/VRM stayed around 65C. It may be that the cards are mounted at a 90 degree angle, but man do these cards run nice and cool.

I decided to test my results to see how my single 7950 would perform.
Here are my results with my 7950 OC Dual-X 1200/1450:
The core speed of your card is slower but if I wanna reach your score I have to overclock the card to at least 1150mhz
I just can't get the memory that high! I can run BF3 perfectly with the memory @1550 mhz with the voltage at 1650 a 50mv increase,but in heaven for some reason it always crashes in the stage 21-22 but only because of the memory.
On the other hand,the core can run at 1200mhz and the voltage 1175mv without a single problem,the temperature stays always under 75ºC with the fans set to 93%.
Now I'll try if I can reach higher speeds with the core.
Considering that my Phenom II x6 is considerably worse than your i7 I think my result is pretty good.

Next Tuesday I'm getting my second 7950 dual-x and by then I'll benchmark it against your cf score.

Thanks for publishing them so I can now see how my system compares to others with similar settings
