**Official 3D Mark 11 scores**

New best score!!

Think this is about as far as i can go with keeping voltages (CPU/GPU/DDR-ETC) at maximum safe values. Need to get better ram i think. Maybe i should get some Samsung ram?

P12085 with AMD Radeon HD 7970(1x) and Intel Core i7-2700K Processor

What were your clocks on the 2700k? And your RAM timings/speed.

These.

Tbh i really don't have much knowledge of BLK/Ram overclocks. All i know is i have ram thats rated at 1600mhz @1.65 CL9. Luckily i manage to run it at 1.525v at those settings.

At my overclocked settings (the image i posted above) i have it at 1.575v.

Post in 8Packs forum, i'm sure he'll help you out with the memory...either that or tell you to buy some sammy greens! Lol.

I've had a good play about with the memory tbh Tone. I'm sure someone with more experience like 8Pack, Greg or pgi could get more from it but i think its close to the limit. Need to decide if its worth selling the ram in MM market and if i can recoup enough to buy 8gb of sammy green. :D

For gaming purposes, it isn't. You wouldn't notice the difference between 1600Mhz ram and 2400Mhz. Stick with what you have Matt :)

As i thought. Still i do like the look of the sammy green stuff, the low voltage especially.

Go for bust, get some Corsair Dominator Platinum in there. I think even 8 Pack is getting to like the sticks.

The good news, your graphics score is better than mine.:)

Guys, i got a quick question. What does Virtu MVP do with regards to 3DM11?

I don't understand it completely, but what i took from their website was that its related to using the IGPU aswell as the Discrete GPU?

I ask because i completely missed this from Gregsters post:

Update as of the 28th October 2012. Any new scores added will have to show a link to GPU-Z as well as the 3DMark11 link. Virtu MVP will not be allowed in this thread.

I forgot to add the GPU-Z link into my last post, however BD's don't have an IGPU anyway, so would it really be needed?

Thanks.
 
Thanks, I hope my score gets allowed then, though i understand if it doesn't (i should have read the OP again), that score was a bit of a PITA to get!

GPU-z link is required for all submission IIRC

I didn't post one for my 6870XF result either, but it was added, it might have been before the change though.
 
@ Dockie. Your score is fine. It shows me if VirtuMVP is used and it wasn't on your run :)

I asked for the GPU-Z link as well but no real point, as this can be added after the run with nothing going on in the background. This is something I shant enforce for adding scores but still good to add, so others can see your clocks and compare.

It seems i've completely misread my score anyway :eek:

I forgot it was the overall score that was taken, not the GPU score. Damn, the worst score for a 7950 on there, and its down to the BD :(

Oh well, itll do for me untill Steamroller is out :p

There is a section for the GPU scores (spoiler). I thought you may have read something wrong when you said 'top 50' :p

All good and so long as it plays well in games, you have no worries.
 
Hey Gregster how it going?

I'm just having a mess around with my bios and also switched to some old drivers to run 3dmark11 but its saying driver not approved (305.68) and before I go any further trying to improve my scores.....

Does it still count on your score board?

Gregster this is what I got for mobo temps - the one to look at is CPUTIN I presume its measuring something on the mobo - both CPUs are @4.0ghz

3960x/RIVE/Stock air cooling

3970x/RIVE/Waterblocks on mobo

Is there any better software for measuring mobo temps ?

beta drivers are fine :) and try with any driver you like beta or not.

@ Kapp, nice temps on those cores. I can see water cooling makes a difference on the mobo and when you start smashing volts through, I can imagine a non water cooled mobo like mine will soon get hot.

I use HWmonitor as well. Good info and pretty accurate from reviews. Not sure on others though.
