Help me break P7000 on 3dmark 11!

So I'm stuck at P6950 (without disabling tessalation). I have this setup going:
M17x R4 3720QM- OC'd to 40/39/38/38 and turbo duration maxed out to near indefinite time.
BCLK: 104.5 MHz
AMD 7970m - Undervolted @ 0.95V, slightly overclocked. Running at speeds of 870/1555 *sidenote, running 2d clocks on 0.8V, I can get 4 hours battery life on power saver mode on discrete GPU only!
16GB ram - Running at originally at 11-11-11-28 @ 1600 now clocked at 9-9-9-24 running @ 1951
Some of you may ask why I run my system like this, and why not just increase voltage. Well, my reason is simple. I really like the fact, that I almost never break 61-63 on full load, and my fans stay relatively quiet.

I'm not sure what else I can tweak. Any suggestions without compromising voltage?

Also, for those who are interested, current WEI scores:
Processor: 7.7 (can this be increased by going to a 3920xm class cpu?)
Memory: 7.9
Graphics: 7.9
Gaming graphics: 7.9
Primary hard disk: 5.9 (i'm guesing the only way to fix this is through a SSD)

 

You're going to need to overclock the 7970m more to reach 7k. With your CPU, you shouldn't have too much trouble getting into the high 7k range... Bump your core clock up to 950, then try out 1k.... I used to run 1075 in 3DMark11 on stock voltage, so you shouldn't have any issues with breaking 1k core.

 

I really am top range on my current voltage. 870 is MAX for 0.950

 

Then there's not too much left to do aside from overvolting unfortunately. Even going back to stock voltage you'd have no issues breaking 7500.

 

Well that's why you need to flash back your original vbios which has 1.05 volts. I don't even get why you undervolted your 7970m anyway. It already runs cool on stock voltage. If you don't like the temps on stock than do a repasting!

 

What temps are you guys seeing with stock voltage + OC clocks?

 

It will not go over 80c no matter what you do with it. If you really want some monster scores you should flash a slightly overvolted vbios meaning 1.075 volts. You'd probably be able to go up to 1ghz. Maybe even even further if you have a good core.

Than you'd be looking at breaking 8k not 7.

 

well i did a few things, and these are the results:
vBIOS flash to 1.1V and OC to 1000/1560 -> lots of throttling/fluctuation of clocks under load
vBIOS flash to 1.125V and OC to 1000/1560 -> same as above.
vBIOS flash to 1.0V and OC to 930/1560 -> stable running max clocks at all times. P7250
vBIOS flash to 1.075V and OC to 1020/1555 -> stable running max clocks at all times. P7763
Ugghh so close to 8000. Why won't 1.1V or 1.125V hold?

 

Obviously the the VRM's can't do it. PCB can't supply enough power to the core. You should already be happy with 1.075. Personally I'd keep that voltage and clock it at 1ghz core,1.5ghz memory for gaming and benching.

How are the temps?

 

Your card very nice! Mine ends stock voltage 1030/1350MHz , CCC 13.3 beta3

 

I believe the same P7763 is pretty good.

 

Never breaks 68, usually hovers at 65 surprisingly. I'm gonna see what more I can do to tweak it.

 

Those are great temps. See?! No point in undervolting.
