**Official 3D Mark 11 scores**

I am not hot on the workings of 3DMark but do know it fails to report correct clock settings. A couple of my runs reported my CPU @ 0 when in fact it is @ 5.0

Maybe this is the reason?

I do find it impossible to believe that score is 900mhz though.
 
No probs drs and thanks for correcting it :) I in no way think you was trying to cheat as you listed your clock speed. Genuine mistake and you wasn't aware that virtue was running.

In future guys, I will need to know all clock speeds.
 
Geeez, that is a bit bad that an update hides the fact that MVP is being used. I would have expected it to show it :(

Sorry to say guys but any new entry will need to have a GPU-Z validation link please. I will add this to the original post.

MVP = Multi GPU surely?

I haven't updated 3dmark11 yet (it has prompted me to). Does it do anything else besides get rid of MVP detection?

Validation link for MVP only or for everyone? As even validation can be hit and miss, I can validate my 7970 for just about any clocks I want as the clocks aren't tested. This could make things awkward :p

As for your scores dropping while OC'd are you running direct 100x50? I have a hunch you may need to open the bus a little bit maybe try 102.9 x 1.25 x 39 or 108 x 46* and see if it improves thing. 8 Pack did tell me Nvidia cards like a 108-110 bus while AMD cards like a 104-106 bus.

* Heavy bus clocking may require additional motherboard cooling.

I run my clocks at 125*40. This is very stable and seems to work well with the mem overclocked from 2133 to 2333. I have loose memory timings though and when I try to tighten them, it is a no show. To be honest, I am not trying for any higher. I wanted to pass 13K score on the P and have done that, so that is me spent now :) I will have a play with SLI at some stage just to see what returns I can get but not overly fussed.

As far as MVP goes, there is no real way of checking but I feel we will know if it being used and anybody submitting a score that is massively questionable will be caught out.

I hear ya but I feel we need a little trust and I have seen enough scores to question validity at times. I would have spotted Drs101's if I wasn't so busy doing my own tests.

It has worked well upto now and there is enough beady eyes to pull anyone I miss :)

Have you tried 100*50 with the memory @2133 with tight memory settings. It should give you about the same for physics but might help with your graphics score.

I use the above when I do a 5.0ghz run but with the memory @2400 and have never had a problem with graphics score being lower. I normally get an increase of about 1500 going from 4.0ghz to 5.0ghz.

You may also find if you run the CPU @5.0 mem @2133 with tight timmings you physics score could even go up.

Edit I have just done a physics run CPU @5.0 mem @2133 score was just over 16800, if I run with the CPU @5.0 mem @2400 I score just over 17000 for physics.

I did switch to 100*50 just to see and the same results. I have had enough with fiddling for now and possibly will have a play at a later date but for now, I will leave it. Memory is just annoying, as anything tighter just won't let me boot. Maybe if I had different memory it would but no way am I spending any more (for now) :D
