You need to overclock you CPU a bit more as this game can cause a real bottlemeck. The review site you linked to are using 4.75 and I am using 4.8ghz

Waiting for Dirt Showdown to install but the mice are ready for action.

4 stock Titans @837/1502

3930k @5.0

1600p

There is no point trying to overclock the Titans or 290Xs as they both hit a CPU bottleneck around 170 fps

I think it is time to fire up the GTX 690s.

Nice results, Kaap. I'd have a go at the benchmark if I owned the game, though I don't think I'd be much competition with one 7970.

You would be surprised, single cards don't bottleneck and they also pull some big overclocks. At 1080p with a good 7970 you could get around 100 fps.

I'm not the luckiest matrix platinum owner...the best I've got in game is around 1175 - 1200, which would be fine for a 'normal' 7970...but it's supposed to be the creme de la creme of 7970's. :/

2 x GTX 690 results

3960X @4.9

1600p @1180/1800

I'm surprised how close the minimum fps is for the 690's across different resolutions.

Here is the shocker

4 x 290Xs @1000/1250 stock

1080p

4930k @4.8

The GTX 690s beat them on minimums and average fps at 1080p. It is not the fault of the cards as they are all hitting the CPU bottleneck @1080p.

Lol, cheers.

Kaap have you got a quick fire, easy method of updating yours? I welcome any tips.

It is helpful if they post multiple results in the same thread, then it is just a case of copy, paste and alter a couple of things.

It gets easier once most of the regulars have posted their first results and then if there is any updates it is easy to edit.

Yeah that's what ive been doing. Trouble is i tend to forget to edit one thing. At one point yesterday we had two Humbugs. I think we can all agree one is plenty.

I hope someone starts posting some good scores soon, the scoreboards are making me feel a bit embarrassed.

I'm happy so long as you keep your 290X's on top. At some point i will move above stock settings, so when i do watch out...
