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

[LtMatt]

I've still not played it. Out of principal im waiting for them to implement crossfire in Mantle before i touch it. I know it will be ridiculous overkill for the actual game but im curious to see what difference it makes to the benchmark sequence. Looking forward to trying out the first implementation of TrueAudio though.

TrueAudio is good, it works well, but i have to say i find some of the reverberation effects a little odd, too much echo.

I would buy it for £5 just for the benchmark, i am too into 7 days to die to bother with anything else when i have free time.

 

[Geeman1979]

The game doesn't interest me one bit. Although at 5 quid I'd buy it for the benchmark.

I need a faster CPU as it's bottlenecking my cards.

Here is another score with my GTX 690s

2 x GTX 690s @1160/1800 quad SLI

3960X @4.9

1080p

@ Kaap, could re-post your results without this debate in them please? i'm linking to the results page, i just want to keep it nice and clean

Done

Done.

SCOREBOARD: 1600P

2x GPU's

#1, Kaapstad: 690 @ 1190/1800, 3960X @ 4.9Ghz - DirectX FPS: Min 66.7 / Avr 96.0. Link

This should be a 1080p score.

 

[humbug]

Fixed ^^^

@ Matt, i did see that 99 FPS, it disappeared and was replaced with the one we are now debating right after you questioned it in the other thread.

99fps was a result of me not realizing that I had my benching driver tweaks and other shady business going on. So I went back to normal settings with everything and re-benched.

So basically I had stuff on that was only supposed to be on if running stuff for hwbot on LN2 or DICE. Went and fixed it once I realized what happened.

Crossfire is definitely working under Mantle in Thief. Will post some results soon.

But are you going to finally play Thief?

 

[LtMatt]

But are you going to finally play Thief?

Yes i will.

Its early days in my testing but unsurprisingly the performance is better than DirectX crossfire.

First run, more to come.

Mantle 1080P
290P crossfire @975/1250 (stock)

Prepare an orifice.

Wow that's some bloody gain, my avg 68fps

Man I so want to try this. Socks having no Internet

Terrible CPU bottleneck, it does not make much difference whether I run the cards stock or overclocked and I also get the same score if I run 1080p or 1600p.

Having said that though it is a lot better than it was before the update. I really need a 4K monitor to get the cards to run flat out.

I'm at 30FPS AVG on my Clevo W370SS laptop, comes with a i7 4700MQ and a 860M

I doubt anything above dual gpu crossfire is even working yet Kaap. DId you bench 2x290X's overclocked to the max? I'd have thought you would see a good score based on my results.

4 GPUs are working but things are limited by the CPU bottleneck, remember 2 x 290p @1080p should score roughly the same as 4 x 290Xs @1600p which is the case with yours and my cards. If I run @1000/1250 stock for 1600p I get over 120fps but overclocking only gets me another 3 or 4 fps.

If I was using a 4K monitor I think I could top 100fps with a reasonable overclock on the cards.

The funny part is I can get Mantle to run quadfire but DX11 refuses to run and just freezes when loading.
