Two AMD cards may work but not three with BETA 5. I am having the same difficulty I was with 13.2. The first three tests in Fire Strike show awesome FPS, but then the last one (combination) drops down to 4 to 5 FPS

With two 7970's I do not have this problem...

The last test has very low FPS on ALL systems. It is ridiculously heavy both on CPU and GPU.

It is also most complicated one and I wouldn't be surprised if it took a few driver versions to get it working right with 3 or 4 GPUs.

I'm just running single

But tried installing the beta 4 twice both ccc crashed on start up but ill try 5 XD

Really? Works the same for me. Anyways the combined test is stupidly demanding... the extreme combined test runs at like 12 fps on overclocked 7970 crossfire

Singlecard gets about 100 more points now in Fire-whatsit, so load is a bit higher, for sure.


Still getting same OC here too though.

only thing I didn't do was set the drivers to performance

But need to redo the paste on the die or try another tube, opened a new one seemed as thick as the older one

Sorry, will redo tomorrow natr0n. Was just throwing out it there as I saw no below 6xx series posted. Don't actually care if I get posted... but I'll redo it.

OK, just for giggles I decided to punish my system a bit and bench it pushed to its limit. Here's my updated results (dunno if you want to add them as a new entry or replace my old entries with these - up to you):

Normal Results (Multi-GPU section):
BigMack70 | 184442 | 32227 | 14137 | Radeon HD 7970 x2 | Intel Core i7-2600k | 1240/1850 | 5100 MHz

Maxed Out/Uber (Paid) Result:
BigMack70 | X | X | 7352 | Radeon HD 7970 x2 | Intel Core i7-2600k | 1240/1850 | 5100 MHz

Links for validation:
Ice Storm
Cloud Gate
Fire Strike
Fire Strike Extreme

Might try to push my CPU to 5.2 GHz at some point for a run but right now it's not very happy with me above 5.1 GHz...

I understand the overall sentiment of your post about testing things appropriately, but you are wrong about the cloudgate test - it's just flat out too heavily weighted towards your CPU.

Why? Because unlike Ice Storm, it is NOT a CPU-bound test. Yet it is scored like one.

A heavy CPU overclock counts nearly the same as a second graphics card in terms of the score, despite the fact that the physics score only increases about ~30% from the overclock while the graphics score increases nearly 100% from the second card.

That's just dumb.

Here's my rig running as a stock 2600k + two stock 7970s (925/1375).

And here's the same rig in cloud gate running a 4.8 GHz 2600k + one stock 7970 (925/1375).

If you're going to score it like a CPU bound test, you'd better make it be CPU-bound first. When a second card DOUBLES your fps in the graphics test while the CPU overclock gives you a 30% boost in the physics test, the score should increase significantly more for the former than the latter.

(P.S. Ice Storm indeed IS CPU-bound on this type of GPU muscle, in case anyone was wondering...)
