I'm a bit tired of the benchs by now, so I'll run the rest tomorrow maybe. What's left for me to run is CF disabled, basic mode, with and without OC.

Conclusions:

The HD 6850 1Gb GDDR5 is an amazing card. It has aged perfectly fine and can handle most current-gen games at decent fps with medium to high presets @1080p. As someone who doesn't care to play at 30fps as long everything is max out, these cards in crossfire without OC are pretty good. But not everything is perfect, in some games, maxing everything will result in less than playable fps (Hitman absolution for example ran under 20-15fps) so it's time for an upgrade, and as I've posted recently, I'm looking forward the new GTX 970 in a single card configuration to replace my CF.

the hd6850's are very decent cards, their 1gb does hold them back at 1080p though

thats a good score considering they are stock 2nd highest 280/7950s, but your going to have to have a decent oc to beat the top 7950.

I was surprised at that score, my 760's hit 3507 but they were OC'd so im thinking these will do really good. One problem tho is that they are very close so the top card hit 95c at stock lol im going to take the backplate off the bottom card so that will give it another 1/4" to breathe.

 

I only paid $310USD for both

Well I've sold my 770's so I will sit happily as the second best GTX 770 on LTT, now for me to take a crack at the 970's

Might be picking up a 280x to do some crossfire looking forward to the valley scores

[Wingfan]

Im not having to much luck OC my 280's...its crashing with just a small OC.... frustrating

I'd run the cards solo find out what both cards max clocks are then crossfire and set it up for the lowest cards max

Ya, im pretty sure its the second one....i was expecting a great score since at stock it gets 3266 in crossfire. Had to take the backplate off the bottom one so the top could breathe lol

damn...  thats a touch more expensive than the tuniq tx-4 I use. I tried to find a round-up with the antec 7 with no luck, must be fairly new still.

 

*edit* nevermind, found a german site that tested it, not too shabby.

3570K @ 4.2GHz.

 

12GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM

 

MSI Z77A-G45

 

H100i

 

Lots of case fans.

 

Two monitors running off top card, PhsyX dedicated to bottom card.

 

Your score is much above others though. Like, much much.

Our systems aren't that different, must just come down to clocks.

why do you have 12gb of ram?

[connorpiper]

Game servers. I like the extra ram.

surely that doesn't run in dual channel though? 

[connorpiper]

They are not matching sticks. So no.

But you can get 12GB (8+4GB) in dual channel. 

 

Also, hold off on my score, I am getting mid 3200s now.

But. I just beat a OC'd 980

And 280 CF!

They are, 1228/1590-5.3Ghz CPU Though I can now run my cards at 1280/1590 but I'm not willing to do everything I did for that run again.
