**The New Official THIEF-Incorporating Bench mark Thread**

[humbug]

Just realised i forgot to run single card 1440P/4K. Will have a bash another time had enough for today.

Your work is done Matt, put your feet up mate

 

[ChrisD.]

Maybe things are moving faster than I give credit to. I would have thought that 4.4ghz would be enought o power two top end GPUs. If it is sitting at 80%, it sure could be time for an upgrade

We'll see next week, as I will be able to do some back to back benches.

Ha, you know I'm playing.

Results are in.

I love using Mantle for benching, enjoyed that. And on that note, time to relax and have a beer.

Bug you've got my clocks wrong in the leaderboard.

1, LtMatt: 290X @ 1250/1625, 3970X @ 4.95Ghz - Mantle FPS: Min 117.6 / Avr 154.0. Link

It should be 1230/1625Mhz.

Gha... you and your bloody inconsistent overclocking, just pick an overclock and stick to it

Fixed.

That's not how it works when you have four cards. The more cards you add in, the further you dial down.

Yeah, its alight when you get them at production cost price, eh?

I'm having a great deal of problems with the latest Thief update. It's having these really big stutters every ~5 secs. GPU load only seems to hit about 50% on both cards.

The latest update has borked the game for me.

Check you have not run out of VRAM

Checked that and GPU-Z shows that about 4.7GB/6GB is being used so i don't think it's that.

Haven't tested it out myself to see if it's running ok here but you can roll back the game version and test it out:

if you do have trouble with this patch and prefer to stay on the old version we made a Beta available on Steam, v1.6 build 4158.14, that can be used to switch back to the previous version

Step 1: Go to your STEAM library and select Thief in your game list
Step 2: right-click on the game and go to properties
Step 3: go to the Betas tab in the properties menu
Step 4: select version_1.6 and press ok.

This will set you back to the original released version of the game.

CF? what Res?

If you need to roll back go to Thief properties and select v-1.6, see pic.

What's with the such bad perfomance?

Getting this on DX11 with 2 x 290X's at 1200/1650.

Also look at his Minimums, 84 FPS, this with a Game that has Nvidia CPU PhysX, normally a massive drain on the CPU.

So now your 'AMD' Matt when will you be replacing your CPU to one that's more agreeable to your new job?

I've got two other machines with AMD cpu's, this is my only intel rig. Might be swapping it out for a 5970X though at some point once my wallet recovers from the purchase of 4x290X 8gb cards.

Different game patch version and different API.
Like comparing Apples and Oranges.
Beat it using the same version ofthe game client and the same API...

Because not even AMD employees think AMD make decent CPUs?

I have more AMD rigs than Intel rigs, but when you have four cards you need the fastest money can buy and at the enthusiast end that's an Intel cpu. AMD cpu's are very competitive in the mid range market with i5's though and often win if the game is well threaded. I call that decent. APU's are also awesome and i love my Kaveri laptop and would recommend it highly. I also call that decent.

And you had a 2600K before the current CPU?
Did you have all of the AMD ones before AMD started paying you?
