i5 6600k 5.1 @1.420v
r9 390 x2 @1190 n 1700 watercooled with kraken g10 and custom vrm plate
only issue i keep facing is near the end of the benchmark my average fps drops after a massive stutter from 38 avfps to 6, any ideas why that would happen, is that a memory clock issue or gpu clock issue
Which stage of the benchmark do you get the big drop ?
There are places in the Heaven 4 bench where everyone gets a big drop in fps.
It's normally around section when it goes dark and pans over the moving bridge, only does it when I'm maxing out the cards, on lightly overlclocked profile it runs fine and doesn't drop below 38, I'm assuming it's the GPU overcloxk but I've had that as high as 1220 without the fps drop, but the fps difference is negligible which is why I've backed it off to 1180- 1190....…
Do you have the memory (VRAM) overclocked? Heaven is more sensitive to VRAM performance than typical with games and if you are pushing it to hard then it may be some kind of error recovery/ECC type thing is kicking in.
Danielwhitt, do you have thermite cooling your GPU core? Looks a bit toasty![]()
