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 :p 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 :P)

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??

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
 
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.
