HELP

Can you check out the 780 flashing guide thread please Greg

 

[Rangerjr1]

When i ran a single 290 test using 3dmark i also noticed my physics score was missing around 2000 points. When i run in crossfire its ok. Its interesting to note that a bios flash fixes it. No idea why that could be the case. I may have to consider flashing. (thats what she said)

Its something i would say.

Bit late in the game appreciate you guys were doing this a year ago, but here we go:

First run in SLI, was in surround but still only ran in 1920x1080 so I wouldn't imagine it would affect the result.

GFX score is pretty decent 21088, physics not so great - need to overclock her I think at some point and run that again.

Total score 15623.


Cheers!

My PSU is at its limit. Can't go any further than this without buying a new one. Cards seem willing. Plenty left on the memory, it seems.

Just seen how close i am to beating Gregs titans. I will have another bash at some point.

Nice score!

My 1st GPU is still hitting temp limit and throttling back

I'll have a play later with the 4770, it's not even really running an overclock at the mo at only 100 mhz lol, I just wanted to round it up from 3.9 to 4 when I installed it

Yep you will get a small boost to your graphics score when you overclock the cpu.

Have you tried putting the fans to 100% while you bench to stop the cards from throttling? It may be noisy but for a quick bench what does it matter.

Would be kinda humiliating for the GK110 master-race scholars to be beaten by us R9 290 commoners

 

[LtMatt]

Greg the scores have gone missing again!

Yer, I have updated and backed them up but it just will not save them all. This is doing my nut in

Edit:

I think it has done it now.

That would be funny and made me look at scores. It shows you as having a 1000Mhz core and a 1250Mhz memory, any reason as to why? But when I checked your 290X score, you had a 1245Mhz core and a 1625Mhz memory

Zpaf a little further down has a 1255Mhz core and a 1625Mhz memory

I am not calling foul play but that doesn't make sense to me.

 

[LtMatt]

That must be read wrong by 3dmark, or he switched to a lower clock profile as soon as the bench ended to avoid a crash. I thought it was a requirement to list the clocks used anyway when you upload as 3dmark often reports incorrect data ive found. I think Ranger was up at 1300 core or something.

Yer probably. I looked through a few scores and clocks seem messed up.

That is the biggest problem. That card is top of the single card hall of fame in firestrike.

Lol wtf.

Lol wtf.

It is so easy to cheat and something needs doing. HWbot allows tessellation modifications, so it isn't cheating as such.

Still, I give credit to the people who have posted scores here and honestly believe they are all genuine

I can run my score again with Tess off if you want, i promise it will beat your score though.

EDIT

I thought 3dmark protect against this anyway?

Benchmark tessellation load modified by AMD Catalyst driver, result invalid.

There is always ways round it.

Well i don't think its too much of a problem here. You seen oc.net? Half of us would not even get in the top 100 over there. They allow tess disabling and other tweaks.
