I'm not going to post any links to my scores for this basically because they are lower than my above score and are just for people who were like me and wanted to see the difference certain settings had on performance (if any), if anyone does want the links just ask and I will add them it
So I started with all stock clocks cpu (3.6ghz turbo to 3.9),gpu1/gpu2 (925/1250) and ended up with a score of
9661
decided to then up the ante and run my CPU at stock while running both gpus at 1175/1425 (highest core clock gpu 2 can achieve and highest memory clock gpu 1 can achieve, so wanted to see what score I'd get with the gpus both running at the same overclock) and ended up with a score of
9907
Then wanted to test out what amd have on their webpage regarding GPU clocks as they state the cards will clock down to the lowest settings of the 2 cards (why I had ran both cards at the same clocks earlier to see what score I'd get and could then compare it to the different clock test), running them at settings of - gpu (1) 1200/1425 and gpu (2) - 1175/1575 this time I got a score of
9919
So the score difference was negligible and well within a margin of error, looking like the cards do indeed revert to the lowest clocks of both cards, one final test, I'd still been running my CPU at stock settings, so beefed the CPU up to 4.8 Ghz while keeping the previous clocks from before of (1) 1200/1425 and (2) 1175/1575 with a score this time of
10221 ( my highest score so far and the one I linked at the start), now obviously the reason for the higher score was a big jump in my Physics score, however I did gain just shy of 100 points to my graphics score suggesting that maybe the cards dont down clock as advertised on amds' website and that my similar scores before were due to my CPU holding them back, another issue that I only realized while typing is that their only ended up a 25mhz difference in core clock and 150 mhz difference in memory clock, which wouldn't amount to a substantial performance gain if both cards were running at full speeds? (originally planned to have a greater difference between both cards so as to make it easier to see if they were indeed throttling down but somehow managed to not do this :-? lol)
Sorry for the long read (to anyone who actually read this far) but wanted to share some of the tests I did other than trying to get the largest score out of my system
Many thanks - Doco.
