    Using the custom bios we all have thanks to certain members, I have my two 780M's GPU clock running at 960MHZ , and Memory stock at 1250Mhz. This is what it stays at when gaming or doing anything else . if im benching then i ahve been able to push it alot higher. I usually dont up the memory because I just dont notice any difference at all when benching or playing games. Does anyone else?

    960Mhz on the GPU clocks seems to be my sweet spot especially using HWInfo for the fans. the cards run cool and i never have any visual issues. just curious whats everyone else doing?

    Stock here, I don't like the instability of overclocking

    The 2 980ms I have run between 990mhz and 1100mhz. This is when I'm trying to play BF Hardline (it crashes a lot). During Far Cry 4 I get 1036mhz steady

    My GTX 680m's, SLI, are running 957 / 2300. They perform great and overclock nicely with temperatures never above 72. Hope this helps.

    I bet you must be enjoying them even at stock since after all it is a massive upgrade from a 17x R1 :p

    My 7970M crossfire is running at a meager 900/1300 with a slight undervolt, in an effort to maximize their longevity.
