***Official Unigine Heaven DX11 3.0 Benchmark Scores***

Interesting that 2 x 690s are so far behind 3 7970s.
I know Heaven seems to favour AMD cards and I know that multi GPU scaling gets worse as you add more cards, but still, that's a pretty huge difference considering the Nvidia setup costs ~£1680 and the faster AMD setup costs ~£900 (and also gives you an extra 1GB VRAM).

However I'm guessing if you have either of those setups you maybe well use higher levels of AA & AF than these benchmark settings and possibly at a higher resolution (multi-monitor?)
If run at higher settings does the Nvidia setup gain or lose ground on the AMD setup?
I guess this thread might not really be the place for it, is there currently a thread that deals with these really high end setups using the really high end settings
Click to expand...

At the settings used here for this thread I have no chance of matching 3x 7970s. If the benchmark is run @2560x1600 with extreme tessellation, 8x AA and 16x Anisotropy. I can get the better of them just but its still not good (3 GPUs vs 4 GPUs).

What is strange is the GTX 690s have only 2GB of vram per GPU compared to the HD 7970s 3GB yet the GTX 690s perform better under the heavier settings workload.

What would be interesting is what the performance is like on a multi monitor setup comparing both setups.
 
Aren't these results being put in the the charts anymore? my results on my 7970 by the top 10 i would be in 8th place but by looking at the results people have posted on the last few pages i would be lucky top 20.
regards

twin 690's and still not winning? :p
ati h4x no doubt
but anyway hehe your min frames went up at higher res? or did i read it wrong
 
I can get 2285 score at 1920x1080 so that would make me no:5 in the top 10 but for some reason the last few pages of these threads have got higher scores that arent listed.
That score is on 7970 1237mv 1250mhz core 1750 mem 100%fan

Its not about winning. The reason I posted the runs above is because I wanted people to see how poor twin 690s were running this benchmark @ the settings used here. As I said earlier with maxed settings @ 2560x1600 its a different story. Using the settings here my setup gets well beat fair and square.

You could do a run yourself and post your results and have a bit of fun.

There are some benchmarks GTX 690s do better in check the link below.

aw was only messin :p
was a serious question tho about the min frames

im not big on running benchmarks, ive only ever ran them to see if i get artifacts & stuff

If you look closely theres not much difference between the Min, Max or Avg frames in both runs. The cards do not run well at those settings. Even if I lower the settings as low as they will go the Max frames are limited to around 370. Its not the CPU bottlenecking things as thats on 5.0Ghz.

The guy who updates does it but he is a busy man...It will be done :)
 
Here is mine (not as good as some people!)

1050p
GPU: GTX 580 SLI @ 900MHz / 1.125V
CPU: 3770K @ 4.3GHz / 1.2V

Well by looking through the thread and looking when the OP last updated the thread there is only one person with a higher score than mine on a single GPU at 1920x1080 so i should be placed 6th not 5th,i'm happy!
Ps i just got a 2327 score at 1270mhz clock! don't think i want to go much higher on air.

Would also be interested in this as there is so much guesswork involved as to which is the best way to go,ie

How many GPU's
Vram requirements/usage 2GB V 3GB V 4GB and now 6GB

Or if dlknight would be prepared
to add hi res monitors and 5760 X 1080 and above to this thread.
Don't know how easy this would be or if maxed settings could be added,
either way there must be quite a few people looking to go down this route?

if you guys started a tribes benchmark thread id be way more interested :p

Heaven bench is free and compares systems and specs. Even if you have a older GPU, it is handy for others so they can see if their comp is running correct or not.

It is all a bit of fun but also helps potential buyers.

i was kinda joking but..

tribes is free too :p
its a game that requires high clocked quad core and a fast gpu to get high framerates, i guess you could call it badly coded, its way more hungry than bf3
and the gameplay is faster

isnt real game benchmarks better?, especially if you deciding between nvidia and ati

Ok, you win.
 
lol wasnt trying to fight! honest!
just not sure what heaven tells me when i only play certain games...

i mean looking at these results you would think ati is faster than nvidia, we know thats not true, but in some games it could be, at some res it could be

But a benchmark is going to be exactly the same for everyone, I mean the camera angles how many pixels etc are on screen.
With a game it's harder because someone maybe using a route on a map that's not a pixel pusher where others maybe looking at lots of foiliage so results differ also the amount of players in the game.
Benchmarks keep every viewing angle the pixel the same.
My thought anyway.
