This is an entry.

Done. wow, Matt how did you get your 290 running at 1250?

 

[humbug]

With +175mv. It will go higher but its far too hot so temps go up and fps go down when my gpu's get hot. Someone with a better cooled 290P or even a 290X will beat my scores don't worry.

Thats pretty good. i need +200mv for 1225.

 

[humbug]

I just completed a run with 1250/1625 at 1440P with +150mv. I can probably fine tune voltage, brings temps down a tad and get slightly higher fps. I've had enough now though for today and will submit a 1440P bench shortly. I will wait for a cold day and rerun my 1080P bench as well because i used higher voltage for that.

You have done well

 

[humbug]

Done.

 

[humbug]

Humbug you made a mistake on my minimum fps of my 1440P bench.

Whoops... fixed. thanks

My DX scores are crap. Low gpu usage is the problem at 1080P.

Done, Mantle more than doubled your Min FPS, which is exactly what i found.

It would be helpful for the links in the leader board if you could add your DX result to your Mantle results post linked

 

[humbug]

In fairness they're completely different APIs. DX score vs. DX score is what should be compared.
My opinion is that if multiple cards and different resolutions get a separate leaderboard, Mantle and DX should get a separate leaderboard too.

Why?

 

[humbug]

Why do you separate out different resolutions and 2, 3 & 4 gpu setups?
So you can compare like for like.

It doesn't stop someone looking at what 280X Crossfire scores and what a 780Ti scores if they want to, so wouldn't stop people comparing a 290X with Mantle and a 780Ti with DX if they wanted to.

Surely the reason everyone runs at the same settings is so that things can be compared evenly?

DrirectX and Mantle are clearly Marked, its more relevent to compare them side by side as they are diffrent API's running on the same rig.

IMO if you separate them its not as apparent that the performance difference is down to the API.

 

[humbug]

I could say the same thing about multi-card setups.

Multicard is not the same rig as single.

 

[humbug]

Thanks for your suggestion Googlay but i think its fine the way it is

Done.

With crossfire i get a big bottleneck on my first 2 threads. It doesnt make a difference if i bench with stock clocks or 1200/1600

Overclock your CPU more if you can

Done.

 

[humbug]

What's the best method for controls in this game, Xbox pad or mouse and keyboard?

What are you, a Console nOOb?

Mouse and Keyboard

 

[humbug]

Some games work better with a console pad though, Sleeping dogs for example. I don't mind using either on games like this. If there's a lot of skillful aiming/shooting involved then ill always use mouse and keyboard.

You can shot ppl with a CrossBow, the controls in this third person perspective are no different to Tomb Raider.

 

[humbug]

Done.
