Quick update on this old thread... Got the WC kit up and running and had multiple problems with the new 7950 to work.
Tried getting all cards back to stock won't stay stable. Tried different 7970 bios nothing worked. It won't just OC at all with the other three.
Then went screw it and...
Hey guys!
First time posting on this thread... Just finished a new build and just finished doing my first 3dmark11 benchmark:
King4x4|3x7950|3x1100mhz|P17681|i73770k@4.7ghz

This is a very very light work OC... didn't even finalize the CPU/GPUs...
The X58/X79 have issues with Crossfire eyefinity users... if you have a single screen you won't face it... go eyefinity and it becomes crash galore.
Bought an X79 3930k and just before installing it (Had crashs with X58 and said what the hell lets go X79) I found a mega thread in RoG forums...
WC incoming soon just waiting for the system to ship.
Installed a third 7950 but got loads of blue screens until I cleared it up and got a heavy bottleneck now... so next order is a 3930k.
970 clocked to 4.2ghz (HT Off) and GPUs all clocked at 1100mhz... sadly had to revert to the original...
Tried it and the benchmark crashed.
As for the score it was around 6400+
Building something like this:
Singularity Extreme Danger Den Triple 360mm Radiat...
Went with the math.... 2k on a new rig or just buy something thats a long term investment that will payoff in the long run.
As for...
Well this topic is wide open. Just ask any benchmark you want to do.
"Nvdia have some games optimized for them" <== Until recently it was BF3 and it got optimized for AMD on the latest driver making AMD better performing on much cheaper products.
Sorry about the native resses but I used them...
