What are you guys doing to get over 8000 on 3dmark 11? I have my gpu's overclocked to 820/1020 and the cpu set to overclock level 3 in the bios yet the most I can get is 7217. Am I missing something?

you really need to be like 820/1150 or so in that range...

Do you increase the voltage on the card to reach those numbers? If so, how high?

no. no need too.
cards will do about 885/1225 on that voltage...but they need to be below 50C under load for that to happen.

mine are hitting 79c under load on furmark. How you getting them below 50?

first off...using furmark is now frowned upon....as far as amd/nvidia are concerned.

second...you would need something to keep your gpus cool. and in any case...this is only for numbers and not an every day use thing.

I see, so the people hitting 8K+ are not using those settings everyday. Makes me feel a bit better. I was just making sure my numbers weren't lower then the usual.

What setting do I need to set the 3dmark11, to score 8000 point.
Sorry for my bad English,

more like 850/1200

I think I beat john for highest CPU clock rate, and with an old gen CPU
