85% efficiency? Get a better PSU.
Also would be nice if you have/get a Kill-A-Watt so you can compare calculated load @ wall w/ actual load at wall.

Also what card are you using? I seem to have better luck with the Black Edition cards as they appear to be higher binned.

Working on it. And it's in the computer I'm running now. When I upgrade I'll buy a higher quality one. wow, what programs do you use to set the clock speed/memory/voltage?
For a long time i was running mine at 978mhz 1.043v with MSI afterburner beta
Msi afterburner. I downclock memory in cgminer, because afterburner doesn't like to lower it past 850. Also what card are you using? I seem to have better luck with the Black Edition cards as they appear to be higher binned.

Very interesting. Also interested in the actual load as I don't believe the input power for the memory, while tiny, is included. Might be time to pick up a used 7970 myself.

Fixed that for you. Remember, just because a PSU is rated at 80+ Bronze, Silver, Gold, etc. doesn't mean it is "high quality". I'd rather take an Antec TruePower New over a ABS Majesty or Mushkin Enhanced any day of the week. How do you get ASIC quality in the 7xxx cards ?
Thanks !
Right-click the toolbar and select Read ASIC quality...

Voltage is read going into the card as well as the amperage. Memory voltage is drawn off that main voltage. Of course it matters. The recorded CURRENT is VDDC which does not power the memory (or I/O). A separate VRM provides CURRENT for memory, a third provides voltage for IO functions. While the voltage remains the same without knowning the VDDCI & MVDDC current you don't know entire card consumption. Total Power Consumption = Voltage * (VDDC current + VDDCI current + MVDDC current)

I thought it was working too as well, and I realized it wasn't Download GPU-Z You aren't going mange a 20% under volt with a 930>1180! Dream on, getting a 15% higher clock and 20% under volt is everyone's dream. That simply can't be done.

Do you guys use gpu-z/hwinfo64 to determiner the "real" VDDC? Because It seems if you put VDDC in MSI AB it shows different in GPU-z.
Also Ive read there are different voltage leak on 7970, if memory serves me correct there is 1.17v, 1.111v and 1.05v. So if you have the 1.111v card then putting 1.117v in Afterburner in reality gives 1.111v.
So if you put +0.020v in MSI AB so it is 1.190v in truth if you have a 1.111v card the "real" VDDC is 1.131v.
I think the above is true?

I have a wattage meter device, and dropping 1174>1156 drops watts, but actually putting in 0.86 in Cgminer does completely nothing. Wattage does stay same. Stayed at 430>430, no drop.
I really think you are miss looking over the numbers. Stock at 0.936 Volts is possible, but 1180/1100 at 0.86 is not possible.

i would have to agree. i am doing 930 at 0.937v. at 940 I was dropping cards. at 930 you can see from my last post the rig has been up for days now.
