Gigabyte Z68 AP-D3 with a 2600k

 

[Proto]

The people of these forums pride them selves on running untweaked legitimate benchamrks to compete against each other, it's the gentleman's code you have broken.

Tweaking via third party or driver control panel creates a messy leader-board.

+4

We are also using Windows 8 which gives us a nice little small advantage, myself and Locky that is.

Then there's me pushing my hardware as far as it goes in windows 7.

Thought I'd add my score to the thread, I am Matt's nemesis after all, and living up the title have pipped him by a couple marks.

7970 1330/1900
2600k 5.2GHz

Lol damn you Proto! Nice score. I see you beat me by upping your cpu clock. Challenge accepted. My gpu is at the limit, but my cpu can go higher.

 

[Proto]

lol hope I last at the top for a couple of hours at least.

I'll have another bash in the morning at 5.1ghz and see if it improves. If not, you win this round sir!

Hit Del at bios screen and just change that onboard to off

aah i dont have an off option there,
I have enabled, auto or another one that basically says disable if a external card is fitted

Yep, disable. I was guessing it would be off but disable is the same

Just wanted to make it a little more interesting, hopefully you will have beaten it by the morning. I know you have a little more in the tank.

Looking forward to the challenge, though I don't think I will be able to go much higher.

pushing the 6970 a wee bit harder now

1.2v 915/1450

1.2v 925/1450, anyway to push the memory a bit further in Afterburner? slider only goes to 1450, I feel theres a bit more to come out of it

1.2V 940/1450 so close I can almost taste that 1300 score

 

[humbug]

LN2 is acceptable. All cooling is acceptable. Artifacts are the norm (if top scores say they don't get them, they are telling porkies).

I don't but then i don't push my GPU that hard, there not cheap and i'm chicken

Anyway, i have a lot of careful reading to do before i update scores.

yes you do

Locky... the OP on that OC.Net forum is actually seeing that score of yours as real o.O
*well it is real but you know what i mean*

 

[Locky]

Just done another run.

Cpu 3930k @ 4.9ghz (mostly unstable)

GPU 7970 @ 1355mhz/1900 (1.337v)

I don't think I will be beating this score, pretty all my rig has to give without damaging it.

Great score, sir.

*EDIT* oh I get it now, its not saying that Intel cards are not allowed then giving a colour and results for Intel cards like I first thought, its saying results that include Intel HD's and other cards (boosted through Lucid) are not allowed.

not very clear... yes your right, i will fix it, thank you.

continues reading....

Does CPU speed effect the benchmark?

Haven't really played with Valley but with Heaven it made no difference

Not entirely sure, only did two runs in total. One at 5.15GHz with the memory at 2150MHz, and the second at 5.2GHz with the memory running at 2133MHz. The scores were almost identical.

Haven't tried lower CPU frequencies, but at 1080p the CPU can make a small difference in most benchmarks I have tried with the 7970 at the clocks I was running.
