Unigine Heaven 4 benchmark

forgot to add, by using your own xfire profile, you do get a bit of stutter in some apps, I don't think it affects score too much, maybe the mim frame rate, but at least the gpu usage is high.

TB I have trusted over the info on the profile mate.

Cheers matey :) - just replied thank you ;)

Ill give it a whirl when the kids are in bed :D
 
What a load of nobcheese. Heaven 4 passes constant loops of current settings but Heaven 3 fails towards the end of one loop.

Settings for Heaven 3 loop constantly but fail in one loop of Heaven 4

Benchmarking is stupid!
 
I have a few questions that I hope you guys can help me with. I am using a GTX 680 with a i7 3770K. I have everything running at stock clock speeds.

1. Does this benchmark seem about right for my setup?

2. For benchmarking, I turn vsync off. Do you guys get screen tearing during this benchmark? I notice it throughout. The first scene with the cobblestone is particularly noticeable.

3. When I alt+tab out and reopen the benchmark in windowed mode, the tearing goes away. However, my final score is lower but not anywhere near as low as turning on vsync in full screen. Why is that?

4. I don't understand the way the clock speeds are written. For example, "GTX 680 1110/1536/1276/." I understand that the first number is the core clock. Why is the memory clock cut in half? What is the third number?

5. I'm noticing that a lot of the GTX 680 overclocks seem relatively mild. Is there a noticeable gain by overclocking the core clock speeds from the stock 1097 MHz to 1110 MHz?

Any information is greatly appreciated?
 
I can't seem to overclock my 690 that great. I can overclock, but it seems to be a average OC card. Oh well at least it plays every game on ultra settings without any issue. It's not the greatest benchmark gpu. Still very happy with it. Maybe Kaapstad you can give me some pointers?
 
Don't forget to oc you CPU, for benchmarks this can make a big difference for a GTX 690.

I have got to go to work in a bit, but in the meantime if you can do a run on 3dmark11 and post your results and oc settings I will have a look in the morning.
