Gigabyte Radeon HD 7970 3GB - showing up as FirePro D700 in Luxmark 2.1
Tony -
This seems low - my un-modded 7950s are beating your 7970 (ignoring the fact I have two of them). I got a big speed boost when I did the NVRAM iMessage fix which seemed to enabled by cards power management (the fans spin up after, not before).
Otherwise, are you being hindered by being recognised as a D700 and the math it is doing is more accurate? I heard one of the big differences with FirePros was the driver traded speed for accuracy.
