Are these benchies on par (HIS 6950 2GB)

Phil2008 · 11 Feb 2011 at 20:15

Ive just got my 6950 today but Im not sure about these 2 benchmarks

My system
Intel [email protected]
Abit IP-35 Pro
HIS HD 6950 2GB
8GB Corsair PC2-6400
Corsair 620watt

I think crysis is about right but DiRT2 looks very low? Both games are maxed out with 4xaa and 1920x1200

maybe dirt 2 is a little low but crysis seems right, its what i get most of the time.

Dirt 2 avg looks good, maybe min a little low but that may be due to the dual core. I run C2Q.

Dirt 2 bench varies a lot though from run to run.

Its just that Ive seen this, and its much higher then what I get........

Check the test setup from where ever that came from. Their probably using an I7 rig or similiar. System makes a big difference in some/most game.

Phil2008 · 11 Feb 2011 at 20:46

Ah yeah, that could be the reason.........

Test Setup

CPU - Intel Core i7 920
RAM - 6GB (3x2GB) OCZ platinum DDR3 1333mhz
Motherboard - ASUS Rampage III Extreme
Power Supply - Enermax Revolution 85+ 850W
Hard Drive - OCZ Vertex 2E 120GB
Samsung F3 1TB

But its a huge huge diff in fps tho,,,,,,

Your scores are fine seeing you have a duel core

Jericho.u.k · 11 Feb 2011 at 20:54

Quad core = the difference

TheRealDeal · 11 Feb 2011 at 21:00

Yea its your dual core letting you down. In dirt using the same settings as you with my 6870 and rig in my sig i get 74 average and 57 minimum. Not tested out crysis so i can't help you there.

Phil2008 · 12 Feb 2011 at 20:15

What fps using fraps do you get in Test Drive Unlimited 2, I get about a constant 58 with or without vsync, all maxed out, 1920x1200 and 4xaa.

tommybhoy · 12 Feb 2011 at 20:40

Have you tried unlocking your 6950?
Here is what i get in crysis but with an unlocked 6950>70, with a c2q6600 at 1920x1080:

Martini1991 · 12 Feb 2011 at 20:42

Vsync in Dirt 2

?

I did yesterday and I got like 1more avg fps in crysis and a extra 2fps in dirt2, so I put it back again to the 6950 bios.

makes very little diff if its on or off

Strange.
59.6 would give the assumption it's being capped at 60.

Phil2008 · 12 Feb 2011 at 20:55

Yeah I thought that too, but you can deff see the screen tearing with vsync off.

Just a thought, 4 cores actually doing something in a game then, doesn't happen too often though.

I thought the cpu would be holding things back a bit, but dirt2 performance is way below, then how it should run on a 6950. Plus dirt2 on my 3870, ran super smooth with all settings set on high so it cant be that demanding surely? Im not a benchmark freak normally as I say to others, it dont really matter what the fps are,, as long as its smooth enough to play. But when you get something new, you want to make sure its performing as expected

Anyway 58fps is quite good apparently in test drive 2 with everything maxed out.

To be honest Im only disappointed with dirt2 as all the other games Ive checked seem tobe performing as they should be, give or take 2-5fps with my system holding things back

So with abit of luck my system will last another 1-2 yrs before games get below the 25-30fps mark again. :confused:

I'm downloading Dirt 2 from steam and will do a benchmark tomorrow for comparison.
