    Is one 7970 enough for 5760x1080 gaming?

    I have a single Sapphire 7970 and play all my games at 5760x1080. With the card overclocked to 1.2Ghz, I can play BF3 on Ultra settings with motionblur and HBAO and get a steady and very playable 30-60 fps. I really love this card :) The single biggest limiting graphic setting that really seems...

    [H] users 7970 Overclock Results thread

    ^^ I was having problems overclock my first time through, and found out it's because I had Overdrive enabled while using Trixx to overclock. I am currently pulling 1.2/1600 at stock voltage and the card hanging around 70c. I'm testing it in SWTOR maxed out at 5760x1080 and so far no problems...

    Okay, I had my card crash at 1175 and 1125...so I'm jumping back down to stock :( I wonder why my system can't handle this

    [H] users 7970 Overclock Results thread

    I would think so, but never really seems to go above 40% as others have mentioned. I tried doing manual fan settings, but I still crashed before the card even hit 70f. So I'ts not heat problems, which was my only guess. Could it be I'm not increasing memory clocks along with the core clocks? I...

    [H] users 7970 Overclock Results thread

    So far, not very good results. Bumped up the voltage to 1.2 and was able to get it stable at 1175mhz/1575. Once I bumped the core to 1200mhz, I could not get it stable at all even up to 1.3v. At 1200mhz I had hard black screen system crashes. I did leave the fan on auto, so it could possibly...

    [H] users 7970 Overclock Results thread

    Sapphire Core: 1075 Memory: 1575 "Power control settings" + 20% but I don't think this is effecting much Temp ~62c Skyrim at 5760x1080 Anything higher causes the game to crash to desktop. No bsods at all. Going to try to up the voltage and see if I can get more out of it

    Yea, it stays really smooth. My 5870 seemed more stuttery at those low frames.

    7970 Purchasing Thread

    Got my 7970 installed...this thing is awesome! 30fps with this card is A LOT different than 30fps on my 5870. One problem: I cranked Overdrive up to the max, and anything that uses the gpu crashes. Driver problem or maybe voltage problem?

    Eyefinity/Multi-7970 users bad news

    I'm hoping/thinking that. According to Asus' website, P67 sabertooth runs at "2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (x16 or dual x8)" I'm going to guess that x8 is going to bottle neck the cards, but I don't know if it would be the source of the stuttering.

    Eyefinity/Multi-7970 users bad news

    Disappointed :( Is this problem due to crossfire, or is this a bandwidth problem? Would PCIe 3 help the stuttering at all? I was planning on cfx 7970s eventually, but not if performance is really that horrible. Hope we get some 7990 news soon

    Viable upgrade for my Radeon 5970

    If you're not doing Eyefinity, I wouldn't suggest the 7970. My 5870 runs BF3 and Skyrim at 1080p pretty damn well for a two year old card. 6970 or maybe wait and see what the 7950 holds

    VR-Zone's 7970 Review Up ... $550 lolz

    If you look at the reviews that overclocking reviews...the 7970 comes within ~10fps of the 6990 and the 590. I'd say that's pretty damn good Even less than a 5fps difference!

    I'm itching for an upgrade. The only games my 5870 can push in eyefinity is TF2 and Minecraft. Some Skyrim or BF3 in eyefinity would rock. 3Gb 7970 here I come!
