Dirt Showdown Bench Thread

[LtMatt]

There is no reason why you can not go top, all you need to do is overclock the CPU to the max and then get a reasonable run out of two cards.

The thing to watch out for is bottlenecking the GPUs as this puts a lot of stress on the CPU which in turn gives more crashes than the gameplay.

I was at 5.2ghz for my stock run. Gpu usage was decent, but was not 100% solid on both. Think ill need a 6 core to catch you up tbh. At 1440P i think id be closer, but you can't run that can you on 290's. Mind you, you could if you use CRU to create a custom resolution.

 

[LtMatt]

1345/1775 290x would look great on there

You can pick it up really cheaply. You should get it.

 

[LtMatt]

25 euro, cant afford that mate.

Click me.

 

[LtMatt]

Good testing Kaap, so i was right? Woohoo, yes go me!! When i saw Greg's score vs mine i had a feeling the 6 core was coming in to play here. Kaap i suspect the same of Bioshock (although it could just be unreal engine = prefers Nvidia) can you do a similar test with that?

 

[LtMatt]

I will give it a quick go

I'm impressed that Dirt Showdown uses a 6 core cpu to be honest lol.

Can someone with a slower GPU than mine put up a score? Thanks

Yes i might do a HD7770 run soon.

 

[LtMatt]

I'll raise ya! 7850

That's faster though.

 

[LtMatt]

290p Tri-X @ Stock
2500k @ 4.7ghz

And I have no idea why my game says YARRR instead of CONTINUE.

What are your stock gpu clocks?

And on the scoreboard.

 

[LtMatt]

Sorry, should have mentioned clocks. Which are 1000/1300

Thanks. OP updated.

 

[LtMatt]

I am guessing that has something to do with being a pirate copy?

Or perhaps hes a somalian pirate.

 

[LtMatt]

What's a hes?

My personal abbreviation for he is.

a male lesbian?

No thank you.

 

[LtMatt]

Haha, good call

I am one of those

Check for a bulge before proceeding.

 

[LtMatt]

But wouldn't a male lesbian only want females???

Could be a crossdresser pretending Greg. Honestly this is ladyboy 101.

 

[LtMatt]

Then he would be kidding himself and would really want to be bashing the back doors in...How the dickens did we get onto this conversation? loooool

I blame wazz.

 

[LtMatt]

Lets get back on topic guys.

 

[LtMatt]

Edit your post and remove the part where you admit to being a P. You'll just get suspended. Do it quickly before someone reports you.

EDIT

I don't know if its illegal or not, but why take the risk of a ticking off.
