Just wondering if you are doing a separate table for the top GPU scores (not overall scores) like you did for the 3dmark11 thread?

I probably will do but I added the GFX scores to the main scores for now (makes it easier if I decide to do so )

thx gregster for update, wonder how long i can stay there for?? amazing cpu score on yours. Bench seems to favor amd cards.

No probs and thanks I gave everything I had at the bench (and then some) I was freezing with the door and windows open at 6:30AM I can deffo see AMD cleaning up on this bench but what amazes me is 8 Packs score. I was on +253 GPU (1452Mhz effective) and +624 on the memory (1814Mhz effective).

I would like to see a few more runs from Nvidia cards to see if I had done something wrong...

Great score though Nick and good work

I'll be benching all my systems this weekend. My brother is letting me borrow his computer as well (few things wrong, so might as well abuse it while i got it )

Surprised by your Graphics score though Greg, AMD scaling better in Vantage?

Noticed when running benchmark that gpu is not utilized 100% all the time, do nvidia cards only boost when at max??

The space map is the only map where i got 99% on both my cards, the first one was hit and miss 50-60% on each (sometimes low 40s)

Not sure tbh. It will boost from the off and throttle back when not needed. I did my SLI scores first, and was seeing over 400fps at times and in some places 100fps and when I went to single card runs, I noticed the places I was hitting 100fps, I was getting 90fps....Something weird going on.

I noticed with mine the max FPS were the same running my cards @stock and with a big oc. The minimum and average FPS increased but not the maximum. I have noticed this in other benchmarks so it may be a GTX 690 thing. I don't get this problem with 3dmark11 as the max FPS are quite low (about 300).

When I get time I will do some runs on more extreme settings to see if performance increases like it does in Heaven 3.0

this isn't right surely?
Same system gets 7200 in 3dmark 11

 

[Nickolp1974]

Didn't 8pack say you need fast memory for this bench?

 

[8 Pack]

I dont do anything with GPU Physics guys. I just run that bench. You cant tweak LOD or owt with it same as 11.

6 Core CPU with HT is advantage as is high BLK, High mem speed and of course graphics overclock.

64 Bit Windows 7 OS does best with this one 32 Bit and you loose on both CPU and graphics.

LOL!!! Yes I was just writing that it helps.

It's cool bro. I was just amazed at how close to you in 3DMark11 I was (sort of) and you almost beat me in SLI with one card this time (sort of) and the fact the 7970s WILL hammer me, I just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed anything simple.

 

[8 Pack]

Nothing simple no.

No, you just use brute force, lol

Thanks guys, i'm smocking a cigar to celebrate, while it lasts.

Thanks for adding me gregster
