I don't think it's down to just GPU grunt, overall my system is quick, but I do have lots of sub memory tweaks in place on my system ram etc.
Click to expand...

My memory is pretty quick @2400 9-11-11-25 1T with tuned sub memory and I have been running the CPU @4.9ghz which gives a really good physics score.

Unfortunately when it comes to graphics and combined tests my cards are letting the side down a bit.

Im using Win 7 are you using the same or Win 8.
 
Ok, I have been through all the scores with a fine toothed comb. As you will see, a few scores have moved from the single card scores to the dual GPU scores. It appears that VirtuMVP was used (which is allowed), and therefore I moved them to the correct section.

Thanks Dockie for finding my errors (sorted now). :)

So much updating being done, I do make the odd error or 10 :D

Any problems, ask away :)

Ohhhh and this score is a perfect example of a single card score:

And this score is an example of when VirtuMVP is used:

Thanks again for taking the time to enter :)

Edit:

Sorry for the confusion and it is my error that MVP wasn't picked up. I should pay more attention and will do from now on :)

Good job ladies.

Nice score Proto, i knew this day would come. I will hold off your attempts for as long as possible. H80i arrives today and i hope to be able to improve my main score and physics score a bit.

Im getting the same sort of numbers to you.

Is it X79 in combination with air cooling thats killing the graphics scores.

Even using 1325/7500 clocks I can not get near some of the guys using much lower clocks.

Indeed!
Watercooled 7970 on Z77 is the place to be for graphics scores.

This bench uses a lot of memory as well 1.5gbs on a single core and 1.85gbs in sli.

GPU tweak monitor had mine at only a smidge over 1GB VRAM usage.. :confused:

Maybe its different for nvidia when I checked I was using a GTX 690 worst part was it was using the full 2gbs of vram available until I disabled the Aero desktop and got it down to 1.85gbs.

I then tried running both my 690s on the extreme test, talk about vram bottleneck, the combined test ran @1fps.

I think nvidia have got some work to do with their drivers.

Sorry, that was meant for 'Ur round next' as he posted his scores in the wrong thread. I thought a portal pic was apt and would have been funnier had I linked the correct poster.

Please ignore :)



Your ban will only be lifted if you can get your 680 above these pesky 7970's :p

My run was +1000 on the memory maxed and +212mhz (1414Mhz) on the core and I am getting stomped on big time :(

Post away 8Pack :)

Edit:

Can the accusations of cheating stop please. MVP has always shown up in previous 3DMarks and I expect it still to be shown when it is used. I have scrutinised high scores and seen nothing that shows any cheating. If people are cheating, they are only cheating themselves. Nothing to win in these OcUK forum benchmark threads and it is all personal pride.

It doesn't matter what system you have, I made a seperate section so everyone could compete with others with the same GPU.

I will look at scores again tomorrow and compare clocks with similar systems.

I will spank em with my 680!!! 7970 I am at around 11,000 (GPU score of 12500+) now with loads in the tank. Maybe we say I can only use 680 to make it interesting.

We don't have access to endless silicone and exotic cooling. Would be nice if more people had access to this but only few do.

I dont have endless silicon!!! The 3930k I have is rare and if i destroy it, its wrist slitting time!!! Same with the PSC memory. All the stuff I am benching at the mo I bought at full cost before I became staff at OCUK.

You may have bought some of the hardware you bench, but I'm under no illusion it's cherry picked :D

But lets be honest, if users had top silicone and exotic cooling it would be more interesting, end of the day anyone can dial in numbers, you are only as good as the silicone and cooling you are using.

Lol damn straight. There's no shame in having your own leader board 8 pack, pretty sure you'll be in 1st place. :D

I agree, could call it exotic cooling leader-board, but I think only 8pack has it on this forum, and I doubt any users from more extreme forums would be interested.

I'm not taking anything anyway from 8pack, but none of us have bob hope of competing, we just don't have the hardware in place.

Efficiency is important results take hours of testing. Great silicon is no good if you dont know how to use it. Its knowing how to get the best from the silicon that is difficult. Users have commented on my Cas8 at over 2500mhz on X79, dimms no matter how good dont just do 2500 stable C8 on this platform each setting is important to gain stability.

Its cool though I will still enter my scores but Greg has said I am banned from the leaderboard which is fine with me anyone wants to see where my scores stand on the global level they can easily see my HWbot profile which has me placed at number 10 in the Pro Overclocking League.
