HD 7950 Not Performing Correctly

[SyncroLord]

My HD 7950 gets lower than shown fps in benchmarks. I have a i5 3570k, 8 GB of RAM, a 600w Bronze Corsair PSU, and a HD 7950 Sapphire Boost. I am sure i'm not running on-board and I am running on a PCI-E 3 16x slot. I have no idea what's wrong with it and I have been looking around for an answer for a long time.

I'd also be happy to show any screenshots of benchmarks, GPU-Z, etc.

Thanks

best thing to do is use GPU-z to monitor the clocks and usage during benchmarking (click on the sensors tab). That will give an indication of whether the GPU is being fully utilised, if the clocks are fluctuating or if it's getting too hot. Might be worth posting the benchmark you are concerned with too.

it runs at 55C on AVG under load and it's clocks are 950Mhz and 1300MHz.

hmm, clocks and temps seem ok. Are the other Heaven benchmarks you are comparing with using Extreme settings with 8xAA?

Yes

_High jacking in progress_

Superold thread. I know. But instead of making a new one I will post here, got similar issues. Well, it performs rather well I would say. Only lagging a few fps behind a buddys 280x 1100mhz edition from gigabyte. I also have a Gigabyte Windforce card. My problem is with overclocking and GPU-z.

When I overclock I can see the speeds are the ones I just set. But when I check the sensor tab the numbers aren't adding up. Showing 900mhz on the core even though it´s a R2.0 with the new BIOS clocking it in at 1GHz. Catalyst shows 1000MHz on the Overdrive tab as well, but the speed sensor says 900mhz there as well. Thing is, when I OC and bench it I clear as day see a gain in performance so I know it takes effect. Is my sensors burned out or could this be false readings on the motherboards behalf? Ever since I by accident plugged in a bad DDR3 dimm the motherboard has acted up. Stable and all but random crashed every other week, false readings on other things like my SSD. Tested it in another PC and there I got same performance as the specs say i should have. Cut in half using my motherboard.

What do you think guys?
