**Official 3DMarkVantage thread**

Vantage is shocking for scaling. I ran the first test on a single card and then in SLI and frames were the same except for the occasional big push.

Have a look at the test with the multi coloured mist, on one titan I get about 340fps, on four I get 240fps and on a single HD 7970 it beats everything. I think vantage really favours the red team.

I am not sure it does guys. I have had the last two world records in single card vantage both with Nvidia cards. 680 and Titan.

You do need big CPU power though. Its critical.

Amen.

One card runs a lot better at the performance preset.

Had another crack at this with my other 690 which does higher memory clocks than my listed run. But still not getting any closer to your graphics score. Dont know where im losing out so much

What are you running your memory at, I just looked in my run and I was using 1751mhz

Memory Clock slider in AB +500 (MHz) and also did a couple of runs at +650 on the Memory. So whatever that works out at.

I think AB +500 is the same as 1752mhz and +650 would be 1827mhz.

What are your GPU clocks ?

 

[Geeman1979]

Yeah looks about right. One of my 690's is a corker on the core side and the other, the memory side which is just sods law really

These are about the clocks I used, it was a long time ago.

With these the GPUs were boosting well over 1200mhz

I remember I could increase the clocks by another 10 or 20mhz but with no gain in performance.

I also found the best way to get a good score was to turn the system on from cold and go for it straight away, after a run or two with the system warmed up the scores would drop a bit.

 

[Geeman1979]

Yeah I noticed on mine that I could do runs with higher clocks but with diminishing results. Could be down to Memory correction kicking in or a bit of throttling going on i'd say.

The only bench where I found it worth going above the memory clocks I am using above is on Heaven.

 

[Geeman1979]

Not really had much to do with the Heaven benchmarks. Might push for some 5GHz runs! Just dont want to push too high on the Cpu voltage.

1.5V is fine but I would call it a day at 1.55V personally. It is rude not to push that chip hard though

Have a go on the Heaven 4 bench and see how you get on, and compare to the other cards.

Make it groan like a B***h?

There's other areas in Bios I need to work on other than just raw Cpu voltage me thinks.

Congrats Kaap

Congrats Kaap

Thanks.

Have you not thought about listing the X Preset scores. This could be good for people using a single or 2 cards because the pro benchers like 8 Pack don't tend to run this preset.
