Cat 11.2, all CCC settings default bar the overclock.

Strikes me looking at the CCC options we could get wildly different results from people's settings here. For a laugh I'll see how much extra I get from choosing every performance option I can find.

Edit: running with all performance options apart from tesselation changes made virtually no difference to the score but lead to some nasty looking mimap/aa artifacts.

UPDATE

I can see the point regarding resolutions. I game at 2560x1600 but if I created a thread inviting folk to post up at that res I might get ten results at best!

So while I agree 1680x1050 is a low res for some, I am led to believe it is still the most popular gaming resultion around at present and represents a 'mid' range pc that everyone should be able to run and submit entries which will give us the best set of comparitive results across all GPU varients.

While the leaderboard adds a bit of fun competition, I didn't intend this thread to be a willy waving contest, more of a tool for comparison for those looking for a new card in view of upgrading. Obviously Heaven is not the be all and end all but it does give a good basis for how well a GPU is likely to perform when compared to others.

PLEASE NOTE

In order to make this easier for me to update please submit a NEW entry rather than updating an old one.

Ensure you give the model of your GPU when submitting your entry as I'm having to guess at a few entries. Heaven only describe a card as '5900/5800 series' !

Some damn fine efforts and droolworthy scores guy, keep em coming:)
 
Now that AMD have tessellation level control in the their drivers can some AMD results be wrong due to the tessellation levels being lowered with the AMD tessellation optimized option in the drivers which I think is on by default, the user may not realize this.
 
heres a quick run i did this morning,
247run.jpg


this is just at the settings my system runs at 24/7
keeps the temps really low and its not really impressive.
i will get a bit of clocking done this week and see how much further it will go.
i do have a 920mhz profile for my card but never normally bother with it, will see how it develops.
should be able to push it further as im on water and the card never gets above 60'c

specs for w3bbos convenience:
Xeon 5680 @ 4.2GHz
memory @ 1910 C7
Single GTX 480 @ 850 core 1920 memory

No, you get two options. Similar to AA and AF, you can force it (i.e. AMD Optimised) or set it to "Application Controlled". So, I know for when I ran the benchmark, I set it to "Application" so that I got true results.

TBH I'm sure someone tried this benchmark with and without the Tesselation optimised and it made a negligible difference to the scores.

But no, the results will not be wrong.
