My 3DMark Fire Strike score

[EK2001]

I overclocked my r9 280 and how is my score http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/5900092?

That score is fine - why are you worried? Fire strike is one of the most demanding benchmarks out there so to get such a good score with a single GPU is pretty good.

Dude why does it say 7950... Weird... But yes that is a very good score!! My 960 gets around 6950 on fire strike(non extreme) albeit with a worse of cpu and ram... So yes that is very nice!!

I think it says that because AMD switched up their line with the "R9" series while keeping their dies the same, all they did (IMO) is give the a higher clock and a little more VRAM - the card itself is the same.

My backup 280 (modded and overclocked with VBE7, new bios). Around 7700 in firestrike :

@Undying89 how did you get the 1150 mhz stable ?

1.250v. I tried 1175 but some artifacting started. Wasn't comfortable with higher voltage so i left it there. I can push memory higher though but there isnt much difference.
