21500 with the 7970, nice!

How do you clock your 7970s? In afterburner? Doesn't the higher clocked card only run at the lowest cards OC?

Yeah, I'm using afterburner. I think the fact that I can't achieve higher clocks with the second card, and I'm having to reduce the OC on my original card, is probably my motherboard's fault.


I've read that GPUs will only run at the lower one's clock, and that is true ONLY when you are talking about different models (e.g., 7970 xfired with a 7950). I have found in the 20+ benchmarks that I've run in the last two days, that increasing the clock on the higher clocked card will improve score, and perhaps increasing the frequency of the lower clocked card would result in an overall higher percent gain in score.

But I believe I have it maxed out.

Oddly enough, both cards could mine all day at 1275.
