**Official 3D Mark 11 scores**

For some reason and I have no clue as to why, The stronger card in the top seems to carry the slower bottom card. Maybe it is a priority thing? I have my strongest card in the lower slot but with it being a water cooled system, it is not something I am prepared to bother over.

Very nice :)

Are you going to see if you can go higher.

When you get a minute please could you update my single GTX 690 score in post 2157.

Thanks

Cheers guys and scores added/updated :) I am as far as will allow Kaap. I can give more volts and temps stay good but it just won't go further. The same goes for single cards.

this is all i can muster at the moment, dont even look at that core voltage :( temps still good though, did have it 50pts higher but cant remember what settings

Getting ranked 29 on the HWbot is very impressive as the cards above you probably have some exotic cooling/tweaking or live on a benchtop.

When I build a PC I only really follow one rule and that is - It must function as a normal everyday machine. That means it boots up in seconds, does not have any exotic cooling that takes ages to set up, and only needs one PSU for example.

If you can do the above and get to no 29 like you have, that is as good as it gets. I suspect if some of the guys at the top of that chart tried to do something like play a game or anything else useful on their rigs they would be lucky to get them to run for more than a couple of minutes.

Very good points and there is only a couple of water cooled cards above me and the rest are LN2. You have lifted my shoulders a little higher cheers Kaap :)

Nick, I need the link bro please :) (3dmark11 link) check your web history.

This is my everyday gaming PC and does what I want it to :)

Edit:

No probs Nick, I could see the link in the webpage :)

One way I have found of getting more out of a CPU with a good IMC is not to oc it so much, but to oc the memory as high as possible with tight timmings instead. which means less vcore on the CPU.

I have found on mine if I clock the CPU @4.9ghz and the memory @2400mhz with tight timmings, I can out score people running the same CPU @5.2ghz and the memory @1600mhz. The difference is I have to use less vcore and have 100% system stability when doing the above.

I am not saying the above will work on an i7 3770k but I know they have a really good IMC and can push memory very high.
 
when i oc'ed cpu left mem at default 1600 and i struggle to get to 4.8 without nail biting voltage, so just put it at its rated speed(2400) plus upped the bclk to 101 hoping that it might speed up gpu a notch.
My temps on cpu and gpu considering the voltage being input are great, just wish i had better chips to make use of the cooling i have. maybe next time:(

edit:thx greg

oh and thx for updating but cpu is 4.75

I put the CPU scores to the closest nick (keeps the chart tidy). Yours showed 4.746 so I go to the nearest.

Almost forgot

Very nice score

The HD 7970s are getting better and better, There are a lot of them in the top part of the table now. I have been looking for an excuse to buy one for a while now but have no where to put it. Maybe on my next build.:)
