No it didn't, it still sat at 40% ish. 4.625Ghz is plenty to run a pair of Titans in any other game and keep them at 99% but not this Oxide demo. I am not fussed but does seem strange that only this one game does that.

I look forward to Oxide games releasing a game using the Nitrous engine. I am sure they will do well out of the AMD owners 
Did this not turn out as you hoped? not updating this thread any more Gregster?
I don't mind updating it, I just would prefer a consistent bench, which this isn't. One person gets more units than others, hardly seems fair now does it?
Ohhhh and just to add part of the rules for those who may have missed it
I don't see that on any of the entries. It just makes it easier for me to keep track of what is done with the settings in the OP (thanks DamnedLife) and what is just a random run. I have no bias in any of the bench threads and love to see people pushing their hardware but simple rules need to be set.

Hey Greg, any chance you could update this thread please?
Thanks
Like I told you in the other thread and a couple of posts up, the rules are simple. Show me one person who has followed the rules and I will add them. Now give it a rest.
nvm

Just a suggestion to save the thread from failure.
I am not sure why you and Humbug are getting all worked up about it. If you both bothered to look, there is entry after entry and I have no idea if they were run with the file in the OP or just a random file. Most of them don't even say what GPU was being used. It is nigh on impossible to work out, hence the reason for adding "official entry" to the title (like Andybird has) and that makes it much easier for me to sort out.
Relax the rules? It isn't that hard and I am not requiring GPU-Z/CPU-Z screen shots and a screenie of the text file or a video of the run.
Ohh and how is your Tomb Raider bench thread going Matt?

Scores updated
No need for locking and I will alter the rules to make them simpler for everyone to follow
Official entry
CPU 3930K @ 4.625Ghz - GPU GTX Titan at 1015Mhz

Rules are nothing new
Who spilt the milk?
I have made a step by step guide in the 1st post for those who struggled with what I thought were pretty straight forward rules.
Ok guys, post your bench results here for the Star Swarm - Oxide benchmark.
Rules.
1. List your GPU and CPU and what the clock speeds are.
2. Add "Official entry" to the top/title of your post.
3. Users can alter the deferred contexts number to 1 (from 0) if you wish (steam/steammaps/common/star swarm benchmark/assets/settings_Extreme.ini
4. Click Follow and click Extreme and then choose either "Start Mantle" or "Start D3D" (as shown in the spoiler)
5. Copy and paste you complete results with the rest of the info.
Link to how your entry should look like.

Any questions, fire away and enjoy
Easy enough guys?
Thanks.
I have no issues with any of the other bench threads I do and the rules are just as simple. People quoting peoples scores and people changing settings and saying this is what I got made it a complete nightmare.
Not sure why people are finding the rules hard? I thought they were pretty basic and then I changed them to make them even easier and I am still doing it wrong apparently.
Thanks for your input. I am more of an Ogre than a Troll btw.

No idea. 6 minutes bench run and I took the dog for her last walk and came back to that result. No overclocks except for the CPU. I changed deferred contexts to 1 but I would expect you to score similar or more with your newer CPU.
And for sure, I can add the CPU's and GPU's (I probably should have done that but was trying to get the thread back on track ASAP).
Edit:
It is going to be hard to tell what GPU clocks are for nVidia guys (unless they are on a non boosting bios).

lol. Watched it this time and thought I was going to be much lower, as it was down to 18fps in one place for quite some time.

Scores added chaps
The whole bench is a pain in the bum
I will give that some thought and see what else people post. Not sure on batches and units but I am sure something can be done to make it a little fairer.
Been having a fiddle to use the results and come up with a fair average using all the averages but nothing is working out for me. I am useless at math, so I am open to suggestions.
Well, if that is the best I can expect it to run on my system, I don't see much point in buying the game. I have no wish to play a game at 12 fps at times
Its not a game though is it. Its a benchmark designed to showcase the limitations of D3D and show it for the inefficient API it is when compared to Mantle.
Ahhh but if it is incorporated into a game (Of which I am sure the nitrous engine is for), I will be avoiding anything that uses it.
If it is purely a showcase for Mantle vS DX, then it is fixed. AMD paid for it and are showing the results they want you to see
That's cool and like I said, if the nitrous engine makes it into games, I will not be buying.
You have absolutely no idea on coding for DX or Mantle Matt/Humbug (as I don't) but feel you know enough to trust that DX is so badly optimised that it can't get my GPU running faster than 40% (when left on default settings) and that is with my CPU at 5Ghz (and that only reaches 30% usage on a couple of cores).... Probably best you are out to save embarrassing yourself.
