UPDATE!

There was something wrong with that benchmark update. After playing with my settings and cleaning up some stuff, as well as tinkering with my OC and voltage, here's what I came up with;

GPU-Z

MSI Afterburner

And the NEW benchmarks post overclock and system tweaks;

Best stable (zero artifacts) clock speed I could get was about 1403, up from ~1228. The benchmark on the left is with the overclock, but no memory clock boost at all. I find it interesting that boosting the memory clock gave such a high change in max FPS. Mostly, I just tinkered with the global settings in NVidia Control Panel, did a quick defrag (doubt it changed anything), and restarted the computer. The biggest change I saw from base to OC, according to GPU-Z, was a 25% increased in pixel fill rate, which was interesting.

I'm much more happy with these benches.

@Krystal LeChuck - That's a pretty sweet rig you got together. I'm going to monitor this card and see if it warrants water cooling. Right now, my idle temp is ~50, but I'm in a warm room and my rig is missing a fan. I think once I get that last fan installed, I can bring her down to about ~45. Under load, she didn't go above 75, so that's pretty good, considering my panic is about 85-90.

Yeah, honestly I'm not yet ready to deal with all the SLI crap. Too many problems :p What R9s are you running?

In either case, I have enough expendable income that as soon as Pascal drops I can grab a bleeding edge card. The 980 Ti was to hold me over till then.
2x 280x...left overs from the crypto mining boom lol

Had a weird one with that. About halfway through I had extreme artifacting on scene 18. Was getting average 22 fps, till then. I was proud of her, though, temps stayed below 75. I'll try and figure why it did that and retry the test.
