huh, I would have expected more improvement than that with the OC on the CPU with it, well it's still enough to bump to you third place.
Yeah you won't see much gain at all with only 25mhz increase on the GPU and 100mhz on the CPU, probably only 100 points or so.
Surprising on that 7950, I've never seen one clock that poorly. Or is that one with no voltage control? The original version was double 6 pin with Volt control, the newer revision is 6+8 pin with locked voltage. Guessing you have a newer one?
the 6+8 has no voltage control. Perhaps it's allowing you to move the voltage slider but not actually changing the voltage. Check in GPUz.
1000 points would be a fairly decent increase. Typically you can gain around 500-1000 points from overclocking a single card. All depends on the GPU you have in the first place.
So a 7950 too 7970 or something like that is going to be a lot more than 1000 points?
I hope the 290x goes down to it's regular price when i actually get some money, stupid miners buying them alllol
