Finally decided to play with Firemark. At this GPU overclock they are hitting their 225W cap and throttling and need to be flashed to go higher.

@Mobius 1 I got around tetsing the vBIOS you gave me, and it made things worse.

Score on left is with your vBIOS, and score on right is after a reflash of the original vBIOS. If you can't see it, just let me know.
I couldn't fix the problem, so I just went back to the original vBIOS. -

Anyone using Win10 on their Triad?

Might as well throw this here as well since the MB is still the Area-51 R2 lol

Nice clocks, that's exactly the clocks I can get with my 3 980s. Why did you ditch the Titan? More perf per $?

Depending how my Sky X9 performs, I may even stick with my old AMD Radeon R9 270 in the desktop until Arctic Islands comes out next year, and use my Clevo with my TV, but we'll see about that.Zero989 likes this. -
4K (DSR) + overclock + W3 and I just laughed man. Not even close to enough power.
I've had my hands on 7 980 based cards... What a boring year for GPUs. I know you feel the same.
Good choice with the Fury X2. I'm desperate for AMD to get back in the game. -
Fury X2 should be damn near 2x my Titan X at 4K so I can't wait to restore that single GPU performance for some of my games that don't do SLI/CFX and have full 60fps in every other game that supports SLI/CFX. The GTX 980 lacks too much in single GPU mode compared to my Titan X.
I've always liked dual GPU cards, I've had the GTX 295 and the 690, I wanted a 590 but didn't have the $$$ at the time.
On the desktop side of things I think AMD is doing fine in the GPU market, they need to come back into the mobile market though.
