Dirt Showdown Bench Thread

I have got another run (I wanted to double check the settings) using higher clocks but all it did was increase the minimums but was still over 190 fps.
Not for the scoreboard.

Big jump in Fps for such a small nudge on the core.
That's why I re ran it.
The problem with the bench is not GPU grunt but CPU bottlenecking. 4 cards do scaling really well on this right up to when they hit the CPU bottleneck meaning two cards can out do four.
Higher overclock.
7870XT (Tahiti LE) @ 1200 / 1600
Phenom II x6 1090T @ 4.1Ghz
72.85
Very pleased with that, sooooo much grunt in this year old £176 GPU.
aint the 7850's allowed then?
Sorry Wazz, scoreboard updated.
4 x 290Xs @1000/1375
4930k @4.8
1080p
1600p
Same settings
That's something you don't see often, a higher score at 1600p.
CPU bottleneck at 1080P ?
4 x 290Xs @1000/1375
4930k @4.8
1080p
1600p
Same settings
That's something you don't see often, a higher score at 1600p.
Scoreboard updated.
2 x 780's @ 1333/1700
4770K @ 4.6ghz
1080 dual card:
Suffering the same fate as me i see, cpu bottlenecked. We'll never stand a chance on this one unless we have a 6 core. You might get a better score by lowering your gpu overclock.
And on the scoreboard.
Will have a fiddle about with it, got a suicidal urge to go back to X79
Why? Why did you leave x79 in the first place?

You can't judge it by that run. If he can do a run around the same clocks that I ran mine, then we can cross reference.
Tbh I was completely disgusted with the lack of progression in any direction IB-E offered, IPC perf was about 5% better then SB-E and the IMC gave about an extra 50-100mhz. Hopefully X99 this year though
I'll try but can't guarantee I'll get my memory up as high as 1850
I wasn't referring to your run. I was just saying that to get around the bottleneck at 1080P you need a 6 core. Kaap disabled two cores of his cpu at 1080P and lost a chunk of performance on 2x290x's at 1080.

I know you wasn't. I'll get scotty to run his card's and 4770k at the same clocks as my 3960 and see how his scores compare to mine.
