I will run crysis 3 what im adking is how do I bench mark on it lol I dnt know how as benchmarking is soomething I have never done

Frames: 7738 - Time: 158621ms - Avg: 48.783 - Min: 24 - Max: 70
this is benchmark done with fraps @ 4ghz evrything maxed out

i will now do test at 4.8 and post soon

Frames: 3030 - Time: 69436ms - Avg: 43.637 - Min: 30 - Max: 62

this is 4.8ghz at 24x multi which is what i reached at start of post frame rates are worse doesn't make sense

but cinebench shows 20% increase

odd results here will try with multi plus fsb next

21x multi
240 fsb

8.27 slightly better than the 8.21 of just multi

fraps results crysis 3

Frames: 18100 - Time: 400610ms - Avg: 45.181 - Min: 24 - Max: 75

what you guys make of the 3 different results something aint right here

 

[farmerboy-86]

4 ghz standard was best avg frame rates any ideas why?

 

[farmerboy-86]

ok i see your point as i said i have never benchmarked before so what do u suggest i use game wise?

or program wise?

also i edited overclock again still 4.8ghz but this time i put multi to 22.5
and fsb to 215 and i got this

Spoiler

big difference

ok guys here is a more valid test as its on a loop for set amount of time sleeping dogs with everything maxed out with high res pack dlc at 4.8ghz will now test at 4ghz

is this a better test as its same amount of time still new to this sorry i want to make this test on overclocking 8350 as detailed and accurate as possible

we will get there lol

and yeah think i have hit sweet spot tried more multi/ less multi, more fsb/less fsb and this produced best cinebench result now to play with voltage

should i try to lower voltage of ram cpu/nb and cpu if possible?

 

[farmerboy-86]

this is 4.8ghz

Spoiler

this is 4ghz

now 4ghz is better i cant see that 4.8 gained nothing what so ever here guys but that what the results show and as you can see from pics ran both tests identical! whats going on

only thing i can think of is that this game is gpu based and where not seeing much difference as its not showing true cpu fps

do u guys agree here?

is battlefield 3 best way to test if so i will download tomorrow and test with that

i see loads of posts all over net on 8350 overclocking and most are not detailed or have any evidence to back up there overclock i want to post some real results for people to use in overclocking 8350 and test its true performance suggestions guys?

 

[farmerboy-86]

Nice to see people enjoying tweaking their systems instead of bickering

maybe my thread can bring a end to war lol

this is why i like overclockers forum compared to others because we all share same goal and come together to find a solution rather than throw useless info around

 

[farmerboy-86]

my gpu wont go over 1050 its gigabyte oc and this puppy has her lead on (voltage locked)

so thats why im selling it for another 7970 voltage unlocked so u think gpu is causing bottleneck here?

is the not a cpu based game with benchmark program we could run?

if not then this test will have to wait till new gpu is here next week not 100% on which to buy ideas has to be voltage unlocked and able to have full gpu waterblock

 

[farmerboy-86]

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-293-AS&tool=3

was thinking of getting this card?

 

[farmerboy-86]

i see your point so to gain anything i will need new card?

so 5 ghz i wouldn't gain due to gpu holding me back is that what your saying?

 

[farmerboy-86]

i see your point so no point pushing for 5 yet as i wont gain and i dnt need extra heat for no gain lol i will more than likely buy the asus matrix card as they do a water block for it test on hold then for now

to be continued............

should i keep adding to this thread or start a new next week? these dont get deleted do they?

 

[farmerboy-86]

If you want to increase FPS at max settings in as many games as possible I'd look at two HIS IceQ 7950s Amazing performance for under £400.

is cross fire any good? i hear horror stories about sli and crossfire and games not running right?

i would need new psu then as well though?

i know where there is another 7970 like mine although there voltage locked two would give increase surely?

 

[farmerboy-86]

also are the refernce so i can water cool them? this is a must for me

 

[farmerboy-86]

Grab x264 and do some enconding "a high quality second pass on something HD ideally".

See what the baby can do!!

can u add alink for this i tried two sites hit run little window came up then nothing

i will post results

never done encoding so dont know if this is good or not lol

plus does ram affect this? as mine is pants lol

 

[farmerboy-86]

The i5 won't get remotely close. But that doesn't count, because i5s are always better

Encoding fps is nothing related to gaming fps.

haha so there good results then? is your i5 at same clock though

on a different note im getting lock ups now and then so i guess 4.8 isn't completely stable yet more tinkering in the lab required

 

[farmerboy-86]

set back to just multi x24 giving 4.8 lowered cpu/nb back to 2200mhz ht link @ 2600mhz so as i was when i was benching and im getting lock ups been ok for past 2 days ram is at 1600mhz dnt know whats going on?

any ideas guys
