I need update v1.11 to get the benchmark

Besty said:

As I post my results we should see a clear pattern of FPS performance degradation as resolution increases and in theory this should be the 980's smaller bus coming into play to limit performance. If supersampling was off, this affect (again, in theory) should be less visible, if at all.

I had a fiddle earlier with the GPU vs. VRAM clocks and this particular bench needs VRAM Mhz.

The positive trade of course is heat/power and I seem to be drawing sod all from the wall.

I found the 512bit bus on the 290X had the edge at 4K compared to the 384bit bus on the Titans as well.

@Besty could you post what drivers you are using please.

Added. I am off to see if I can get PCI 3.0 working.

The hack should work. I used to run a 3960X C1 and had no problem running PCI 3.0

I have placed in the OP a new requirement when posting scores that the drivers in use are listed along with your entry.

Thanks.

This is not a serious entry but see if anyone can spot what has gone very wrong here.

Hit the Vram limit.

Big time hit on the VRAM @4K it needs 4gb and sadly my GTX 690s only have 2gb lol.

Well hello there, not bad for a 290P.

Well, you know, us peasants struggle on somehow...

Nice score Uncle Petey and on the board.

Cheers Kaap.

I'll see about some multi card action later. Might also have to see about a tie-breaker

No truth without proof
I smell pebcak

Has anyone else found that this bench lets them clock their card(s) higher than they would usually be able to in most other games/tests?

You need to set SSAA to 4x, Mal

no, the card is clocked via Heaven only and then backed off for gaming, i never adjust it to suit any one game..........all games !!!!!

if i want more FPS then i'd buy another card next month
