**Official 3D Mark 11 scores**

Welcome to the thread Samuel and thankyou for taking the time to add your score :)

Does that seem like the furthest the 780 will go Alex? Very nice score and easily keeping up with and surpassing a Titan at times. :)

Thanks Greg. I think there is more to be had from the card but not massive amounts. I know the limit on this bios is around +225 core (as it wouldn't complete the benchmark on this) but haven't tried many gradations between 215 and 225.

Also I am running it in PCI-E 2.0 mode which I know doesn't differ much from 3.0 especially in single card config but will do some more testing on 3.0. The latest drivers (320.18) I also found gave some lower bench results on my 670s but haven't tried any older drivers on the 780. My hunch is around mid 15k in terms of 3DMark 11 score and possibly 15.5-16k GPU score. Will also keep an eye for any modded bios versions and give them a try.

Don't know if my CPU OC makes a difference but my OC is on multiplier only. I know many use the 125 strap and BCLK and that also affects the PCI-E lanes. Maybe benching on BCLK overclocks gives better scores.

It is certainly not as good as the top Titan cards but not bad at all.

These GTX780 scores are tempting me into buying a couple. So we talking 19k for GTX770-SLI and 24k GTX780 stock alone?
 
Any reason you want a couple of 780's or just an upgrade itch?

Going by the overclocked entries for a 780, it is looking like 27K for the 780 SLI GFX scores. I wouldn't hold my breath on the 770 if I am honest.

Upgrading to GTX780 would make a BIG difference even though I've had these 680s for only 14 months. As I look at builds as a learning experience, the difference this time would be to put GPUs on water. I've been holding off for ages buying blocks for 680s.

27k for GTX780-SLI would be with Intel's current 3930k and pushing them both on water for 30k would be something I'd like to see soon here with improved drivers over time. May have to wait for those custom 780s coming soon.

770s is exactly the same as my 680s bar the higher clocks and even then I have to push the 680 memory to achieve slightly over 1700MHz on air to match them, my opinion is the memory is higher yielding lower leakage to achieve higher clocks as my mates reference 680 artefacts at 1652Mhz memory, lowering the base clock or increasing voltage makes no difference.

Can't fully justify it as 780 voltage is limited to 38mv (unless volt unlock is released with custom 780s) but a couple 780s Classified Hydros (full blocks) are desirable from what has been released to date. I'm waiting for 4930K+2011 mobo later in the year (purely down to lack of cash right now) to start a system rebuild with custom cooling - atm I have only a CPU on water and feel it's time to correct that.

Tests concluded. No significant differences at all from my end by either using 100 or 125 BCLK :confused:

My tests concluded and no change either. I only done 4.6Ghz bench results but the GPU scores stayed around the same with either 100 bclk or 125 bclk. Very slight gain but far from the 500 I had on my 680.

I assume my overclock on the GPU wasn't stable on the 100 bclk but not enough to stop the bench test.

Fair play. I went from SLI 680's to SLI Titans and the difference was more than I was expecting. After seeing the performance of the 780 hitting so close to Titan, I can't knock anyone for wanting to snag one or two :)
