Am I doing it right ?
FPS / Frame Number
No, you need to do 1000/(50000/number of frames drawn), which is 1000/average frame time

Competitor rules

I'd really like to see some Mantle-based results to see if there's less frame-time variation.
Soldato
I did that earlier and it came out at 103 fps. The graph is hiding some minimums in the latter half
Soldato
How did you manage that? that is hilarious
It's just an excel line graph of the instantaneous FPS.

You sir are a star thank you for taking the time 
strange why the run starts off really level differently to the graphs prior? I wonder whats going on there?

Ah...did you draw it as a bar graph? If so, change it to a line graph instead.

You're welcome, took all of about 3 minutes
No idea why it started consistently then want wildly variant. Mine was wildly variant from the start.

The other thing looking at is,Why is my run 6111 frames long & all the others shorter if its a fixed test?
& after reading the whole argument on the other thread about mantle / DX11 whats the best too apply to this data, mode, mean or median average or go more standard deviation?

I dont know if this might be why, but I did install the 344.48 driver this moring & gained almost 100 points on my firestrike ultra run over my origianl 344.16 best of 3626. what did you all run it using?

The test is a fixed length of time, but the number of frames rendered is a function of the frame time. The faster you're rendering frames the more frames will be rendered during the 50 second benchmark, hence the higher your average FPS.
My PC (i7 4770K + 780Ti) rendered 5597 frames in 50 seconds, therefore with an average (mean) of 112 FPS.
Your PC (i7 3930K + 980, I think?) rendered 6111 frames in 50 seconds, therefore with an average (mean) of 122 FPS.
Benchmark tests normally give a min, max & mean. Those three figures are the most useful for directly comparing the performance of multiple systems.
Mine was also using the latest 344.48 driver, and it's quite normal to gain performance with driver updates. You're more likely to see gains that me, too, because your card is very new and there's probably quite a bit of optimisation to be done yet, whereas my 780Ti is mature, and will likely only see significant performance gains with new titles as nVidia release optimised drivers.
I just managed to get 4527 frames in 50 seconds which works out @90.54fps @4K on my stock 290Xs.
I think there will be a tool available soon to work out the scores and as soon as it is ready to use I will post the link in the OP.

Impressive for 4K, very good scaling.
I still want my game code from Matt though, he promised!

Shouldn't there be guys who work for AMD who can do this for you if you don't know how to use Excel or other basic tools? I am not having a pop but AMD are very tight with Firaxis on this, so asking on a forum seems a little...well....lame in truth. You work and represent AMD and these things should be sorted in house really.
Still, Havana was very kind to tell you how to do it with Excel
Think you'll find they are busy working away making game ready drivers for the likes of Civ and SOM on AMD.
Aim it at Firaxis mate and give the poorly veiled attacks a rest, Firaxis made the game not AMD.

I've written a basic web page to work out the results, does anyone have somewhere to host it?
Caporegime
I have several websites I have done and could do that but I have everything for that on my Windows 7 drive, which is out of my machine at the mo 
Leave it with me Googaly and I will see if I can find my ftp details.

Fire me over the page you have done Googaly, I think I can remember my password and just need to have a quick fiddle with the index page on one of my sites

Greg has kindly hosted my webpage.
You can find it here:
http://www.gpuandmore.com/benchmark_results.html
Just copy the contents of the csv file into the text box and click the button.
It should tell you the Min, Avg and Max FPS and draw the graph.

Good work Googaly and we might finally see some bench results. I still need to grab this but will and will post my results up
Maybe Kaap will add that to the OP and give a simple explanation of what to do and how to do it. Very simple tool to use (well done again Googaly).

Nice work GoogalyMoogaly and Gregster
And here is our first result for the scoreboard.

Give me a few minutes and I will put instructions into the OP.
We are live for results.
