Okay well I overclocked My card Several Times times and found what I belive is the sweet spot. Using 92.77 drivers

625/700 3dmark06 5546
650/700 3dmark06 5722 Error's in atitool
650/750 3dmark06 5871 Error's in Atitool

--> 625/750 3dmark06 5756 3dmark05 10165 (current setting no errors in atitool ran for 30 minutes 71c temp)

Havn't really tired anything more extreme seeing that 650/750 I got errors in running atiools

And yes voltage is untouched!

Voltage is still untouched ...What voltage do those things use stock?
Edit: Forgot I had a copy of the 7950 bios here...1.32 V, hmm wouldn't recommend increasing...The 6800ultra uses 1.38 v stock but yeah...

Yeah seems like with the 7950 you really can't be pushing it up to high before you start getting some errors. Well atleast for the one I have, but I have it clocked at 625/700 and runs great. The highest I have seen the temps was 78c in games.

So it's posting pretty much the same stable speeds/scores as a 7900gtx?

Check my clocks/scores in my sig.

7950GTX = Factory OC-ed 7900 GTX. If you have a 7900GTX, OC it and you will have a 7950GTX.

I find your low clocks odd, especially at 1.32v. People have pushed there 7900s to 650/750 on 1.24v.

I've had my 7950 over 6K in 3dm06, mild OC, stock thermal pads. It's not the same as a 7900, you can take it higher - remember, people have as5'ed their 7900's and are running them at the edge of the card's thermal reserve.

The 7950 introduces new headroom into the equation. It's not all about the single bench IMO, it's about real usability. If I AS5 the GPU, I am quite sure it can bench much higher than a 7900. The truth is though, it's no fun to game with a 100 degree GPU under your hands. What I find much more interesting is that I can get max reliable fps out of a game without having a heat source as powerful as a small sun. No artifacts, no throttling, fans on med instead of floored all the time.

You realize the 7950 runs hotter than the GTX right? 1.32v vs 1.24v...They are the same, the only difference is the voltage. More voltage = more room to overclock. Try playing COH for a few hours, and see how hot your GPU gets. That game will push the card to the edge. As soon as someone figures out how to flash a 7900 with a 7950, they will be able to OC just as far. Make a rom, and see how far you can push your 7950 at 1.24v. It will max somewhere around 600-650 and 700-750.

Yeah you also realize that these cards are clocked 575/600 Stock, and for some reason if I push it past 625 on the core you start getting errors in games, and ati tool, and if I push the memory pst 725 you also start getting errors also.

So for some reason either my card is not that overlclockable or you really can't push these cards that far.

I though they were 575/700 at 1.32v.

I am surprised you cant push it that far...i can push mine to 600/700 at 1.24v. Guess you got a poor overclocker.

Nope the dell ones come as 575/600, if you look around at other threads you will note that other people who have the 7950GTX from dell are clocked at those speeds.

All and all 625/700 is not a bad speed to run, and now with me reappyling AS5I am not getting temps over 70c and thats great. I might be able to push it alittle more, and driver could also be a big issue with the errors so I'm still tweaking gonna try 625/725 see how that runs.

But really I don't think I will be happy untul I am running quad Duo, and dual Sli Dx10 cards in my lappy, and even than I will want more!!!!!

I have mine clocked at 625/792 (No as5, factory thermal pads) it runs fine the temps max out at 78-80c. You have to remember not every part (gpu/memory) has the same OC thresholds (usually +/- 5-10%). Some will OC a little high some will OC a little lower.

If you waiting on a quad duo and Sli DX10 based notebook your going to be waiting a while. Quad core is over kill unless your do major number crunching.

I thought everybody was using i8kfangui with the offsets to read temps...
Anyway, quad duo just doesn't sound right at all

Ture my mistake it is quad core, or at the moment Core 2 Extreme QX700. But anyways I am using I8kfangui to read my temps on my video card.
