The basic version on the Futuremark site is done a little weirdly. There are a list of mirrors for it to the right of where you click to download it through Steam.

Its done stupid as feck if you ask me. Anyway, got it downloaded. We will see what my old girl can do!

My score is lower then Eboggles 7950 :rolleyes:

Core clock 810Mhz. I wonder why is it so low? Full load it should be going 1050mhz

It takes a reading at the end of the test for that specs page, my card does the same and it actually runs the test at 1202 (its full boost clock)

Look on the brightside, it scored more than treble mine...

Though mine is more of a media centre than anything else!

Well. gtx680 overclocked had to score more then 7950 overclocked. So more then likely there are two resons for my low score: Eboggles 7950 is just a monster bastard out of Hell or 3dmark is quite unbalanced for Nvidia cards.

For example i did the Catzilla benchmark and there are no 7950 even near my score.

My 3D Mark score is

ICE STORM 169712
CLOUD GATE 20466
FIRE STRIKE 8775

Seems the best so far lol

edit core clock should of been 1058 MHz........

I hate the coil whine induced on my 7950 when I run 3D mark I will throw up some scores later if I get a chance.

Btw, does anyone have the Sapphire 950mhz 7950 edition (I think you may, Bloodbath, since you recommended me get that card). Does yours have a kind of light scrape sound around 40-50% fan speed? I read a comment online about this and realised I had the same thing. In addition, it seems that if put pressure on the shroud, lifting it upwards slightly, the scraping stops. When I release the pressure it begins again. Would the fans or swim thing be..."loose".

Woops, longer comment than I had meant to post, sorry if I hijacked the thread

It's an off-topic thread. No such thing as hijacking.

Just saw that - I thought it was the benchmarking one actually

I wonder if something on-topic might be considered off-topic in an off-topic thread :D
Thanks for help in advance though.

I couldnt imagine why not

it looks like its good for windows 7 - which I believe (open to correction) is a good sign for windows 8

Xbox, stating that talk of a 1.6Ghz eight-core AMD CPU and a D3D11.x 800MHz graphics solution were true. They also mentioned 8GB of DDR3. and 8GB of DDR3 RAM.

That would be very good for PC gamers because it should mean less crappy ports .

Urggh a new socket for those. That sucks

I heard they are releasing 8 and 12 core chips in Q4 this year as well.

That 4770k will hardly be much better than a 3770k will it?

Still time to buy AMD shares at a low €2.50. It was €1.80. There's still good value there.

Surely all 3 next gen consoles using amd processors and graphics will bump their share value back to at least the €10 region in a year or 2 from now.

It will time out soon, but i have to say i havent laughed so much in ages.

Doesn't look very Metal Geary though...will check few more vids. Out the 19th.

The demo is already up on Xbox Live, played it, didnt think much of it. Like you said, its not very Metal Geary.
