Firestrike Standard Bench.

You're also running an i5 not an i7 according to the bench

and core 1095 not 1075

Just comparing our scores because of the same card.

Yes sorry copy and pasted the previous results, because I was lazy and forgot to change those things. Actually my OC was 1100 not 1095. It's saying 1095 I guess because of the power limit and the clock not reaching 1100? Also are you running a voltage increase?

It looks as though the fury line of cards are very CPU dependant?

Thought it may have been that

My understanding is it's not the card that is dependant but the test, fire strike isn't a "pure" GPU test, emphasised even more with the physics and combined tests that make up the score.

It's also interesting that the ultra mode test brings out scores much closer together (and actually yours is higher) compared to the standard test where my stronger CPU seems to make more difference.

Yes I should be running +12mV, I did manage a couple of stability tests at 1100 core but it would crash every now and then (often would complete the test but crash afterward when swapping between the afterburner etc.)

With 4k the CPU matters a lot less as you're GPU bound in a lot of situations. This is one place where AMD and Intel CPU's level out somewhat

I thought as much, the leaderboard difference between standard and ultra makes for interesting comparisons.

I suppose the CPU does the same physics calculations whether standard or Ultra so the workload on that doesn't increase much of at all. Where as the load on the GPU massively jumps up so suddenly it becomes a bigger player in the benchmark. So maybe the ultra is a better comparison between GPU where as standard reflects more on other components.
 
Hope its alright if I get my main builds score added. The Titan X's on ref coolers in a stack really suffer it seems in 3 way config which prevents going any further. Need a bigger case :D

Thanks as always :)
 
Edited as I did a bit of tweaking and got a better score.

Gigabyte Xtreme 980Ti (1x) @ 1270/1870
Intel Core I5 - 2500K @ 4.4

Score -14262
Graphics Score 20286
Physics Score 7774
Combined Score 7090

Do you think my CPU is lowering my score because of the physics test?

The overall score would be lower then say as it does take into account the CPU performance. The same CPU at a higher frequency will notch up the physics score or a more powerful CPU in general.. I gather its less of a factor in the Extreme and Ultra variants which put a higher emphasis on GPU score (95% sure on that)

His cpu will also bottleneck his graphics card more than a stronger cpu. The frame rate will go down on the graphics tests as well as the combined score as a result.

CPUs make a big difference in this bench.

Having said that for gaming the difference between using a 2500k and 5960X at the same clockspeed is much smaller. A lot of the time it would be hard to tell the CPUs apart for gaming.:)
