Firestrike Extreme Bench.

I promise I'm not bragging here, but I rattled off the Firestrike 3DMark over the weekend after getting my single 980 and got 10400. Am I doing something wrong? Are we just talking the 'demo' version here?

If so, I can run it again tonight and post the results up.

5960x @ 4.75 --- TRI-SLI 980GTX 1482/2053 --- 17883

Nice score, I will update in the morning.

What RAM and timings are you using with your CPU please, I need to get my head round X99 as I will be building one in the new year. My favorite game is a bit too much for SB-E and IB-E and needs a CPU with a bit more grunt.:D

3000 C16 for that run. These sticks are 2800 Dom plats but they don't do much in the way of trick timings unfortunately. I'm saving memory tweaking for when the platform / bios matures :)

What sort of top speed can you run DDR4 @ on Haswell-E like for example 2600mhz is absolute top whack on SE-E and IB-E

I don't want to end up paying for a kit that can never hit it's rated speed on Haswell-E.

I have seen a nice 3200mhz C15 Corsair Dominator Platinum kit but it would be a bit pointless if the IMC on a 5960X can not do that speed.

Thanks
