Hello Folks,

I have a feeling my PowerColor HD 7950 PCS+ 3 GB is underperforming.

Is a 3DMark 11 Score of P7187 about par for the course for a Radeon 7950 (with latest drivers) on a non-overclocked i7-3820 / Asus P9X79 Deluxe / 16 GB RAM System or is it underperforming?

Here are the full details of the results: http://i.imgur.com/QKewv.png

Please confirm so that I can determine whether to exchange the card or if I'm good to go with this new build.

Thanks fellow 79xx'ers!
I got 2 of those, haven't got that feeling. What makes you say that ? Card looks really good, and have a longer warranty + tested to be one of the best 7950's
I just compared our result with mine, its really close to each other, you actually got higher gpu score than me using one card.
Someone had told me that the typical 3DMarks11 Scores for the HD 7950 was around "7800", so I was concerned that getting a score of around 7200 (especially with my X79 System) was low. So are you saying my score is where it should be and my card is not faulty? I just want to be sure, because if the score is off because the card is faulty, then I have no problem exchanging it for another of the same card.

Also, how can I be getting a higher score than you with 2 cards? Surely something is amiss?

Please confirm, and thanks. smile.gif

Your score is considered "low" because of the stock clocks on your CPU. If you overclocked that processor, you'd see well over 9k I'll bet. With the highest maximum overclocks on both CPU and GPU you could break 10k easy.

At stock clocks, P7200 is honestly perfectly acceptable. Mine gets less than that at stock CPU / GPU.

You really want me to install that game? ok. It's always played like crap on the pc so I didn't bother with it.

Dvd drives gotta go. It's sad that I can download a 15gig game from steam and install it faster than I can off the dvd drive.

This is sort of a weird problem..but, I recently bought the tomb raider collection on steam, and I'm putzing through them...The issue I'm having is that in Underworld, if I enable vsync in game, it tanks my performance, and it sometimes drops to like 45-50 fps with churn. But if I disable vsync, I get like 400 fps and the game stutters. So I tried forcing vsync through ccc, and it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Is there something simple that I'm missing about that option? Or is it simply hit or miss with various games?

[edit] - for reference I'm still using RC11
 
Thanks Geritol!

OK, I finally made up my mind for now and bought the Sapphire 7970 OC on Amazon for $550. Probably a dumb idea, but whatever.thumb.gif

There is nothing dumb about it. You will be able to O/C very nicely and probably do better on most stuff than the 680. Although I probably would have saved a 100$ and grabbed one from a sale thread.

Yea, I feel like at this price I'd rather just get a new one. Amazon is good with returns in my experience. It's a bad ass looking card FWIW.

Do any of you guys have any idea when the 7970 Lightnings are going to be available? They released last week and there were reviews and stuff but now its just crickets. No stock anywhere and I'm down for two as soon as I can find them....
