Memory Overclocking did wonders for me and BF3. Got maybe 8-10 fps extra in BF3 from Stock.

Yeah its really strange, but the numbers aren't lying.  I am a bit taken back, I haven't seen gains like this before on Memory overclocking.  We should all get some benchmarks out and start recording the results.  I know I will be in the future.

I think its got to do because its 500Mhz OC with 384-Bit and HD 7970 has very good memory management. We got more memory bandwidth from OC then some card have Stock. Almost 100GB/s. I feel like GTX680 could use some.

Could some of you guys run this GPU memory test to see if you get any errors?
I'm getting several with my card no matter the clock or voltage. frown.gif

I have been benching teh bot all night with one card and found that every 25mhz i give the memory on my 7970 gains me approx 20 points in heaven Xtreme. Currently at 1850 with 1.7v.

Hmm... Could be a bug in the program?
I just tried it out today...
More results from different people would be appreciated.

I was wondering if anyone has thoughts on the 12.4 betas? 12.3 is working fine for me but I just crashed in ME3. It was odd because in my first 35 hour playthrough I didn't crash once. Anyway I heard 12.4 has a pretty good increase in BF3 FPS and I've really taken a liking to Adaptive AA in BF3. Makes the fences look normal. Anyway I'm downloading them now but I have a feeling installing them will break my overclock and I'll have to go through that whole song and dance again so being that they are beta I'm just wondering if anyone knows if they're stable. I'm still just on one card so things are generally more forgiving but I've had beta drivers before that literally didn't work with anything so feedback would be appreciated.

I think 12.3 are better drivers.
