Unigine Heaven 4 benchmark

[Kaapstad]

Just installed my second 7950 today. Not sure if their stable in games yet but they ran Heaven without crashing. Think I lose a few fps due to my motherboard (Gigabyte Z77-D3H) not being PCI-E 8x8. Am I in the right ballpark?



Should add i'm using LtMatt's new bios on both and 13.11 Drivers.

Your cards are working fine and it is a good score.

And on the scoreboard.

reference card Msi gtx 780 gpu core @ 1202 Mem core @ 3602

i7 3820 cpu @ 4.75Ghz

cant sqeeze a drop more out of it with out it crashing half way through everytime at +196 on core. Would water cooling help? although it didnt go past 72c at 100% fan

You already have a good score for a GTX 780. Water cooling can help but don't expect huge gains with a stock card, you may be able to overclock by another 13mhz or so. What is nice about using water is running the cards in the 30s rather than the 70s.

Are you using PCI-E 3.0 this is also good for a few more points.

And on the scoreboard.

Kap what volts are you running on the titans?

Just the stock +0.38 in Precision X

Stock bios as well.

The drivers make a big difference - 320.18

Score update at 1440p.

1x 7970 @ 1300/1800

i7 3820 @5.1

Always nice to get another hi rez score.

You can't make me feel any worse than i do already.

I do like running this bench at high resolutions as it removes a lot of the influence the CPU has and shows the GPUs in the best light.

 

[Kaapstad]

I got it in a pci-e 3.0 slot although it picks up at 2.0, and in boot up it says GEN2, even though i set it at gen3, i also read that there is some registry patch to enable 3.0 but that didn't do anything, its a asus x79? rampage formula motherboard (bf3 edition)

no idea why it wont do 3.0 any ideas?

Yea I might go with water cooling as i got a pump and everything just need a water block either that or a aftermarket fan cooler

When you use the patch you need to reboot afterwards for it to take effect.

When you install drivers it removes the patch so you have to re install that as well.

Thanks guys, the Hi Rez section is starting to look better.

Scoreboard updated.

I installed that patch ran it as administrator and restarted it but it still shows as 2.0, I put the gfx card in correct slot, i checked with manual..does having windows 8.1 effect this ?

I don't know, I use win7

I know it is stating the obvious but have you got PCI-E 3.0 selected in the bios.

Failing that it may be a GTX 780/mobo thing.

 

[Kaapstad]

So Kaap! what does yours say? Mine also reads the same as above in GPU-Z

PCI-E 2.0 x16 @ x16 2.0

Never noticed that until now.

If I go full screen and run all 4 I get PCI-E 3.0 x16/x8/x8/x8

 

[Kaapstad]

Hmm! dunno then. In bios it's set to Gen 3

I have just realised you are using a HD 7970, for that and PCI-E 3.0 it should be plug and play on X79.

 

[Kaapstad]

Just installed that patch from Techpowerup and it's now reading in GPU-Z as PCI-E 3.0 for what it's worth.

Give it a run on Heaven 4 and see how it goes.

 

[Kaapstad]

Bah! I should have done some before and after results.

That's easy select Gen 2 or 3 in the bios.

Reinstalling the drivers also removes the patch.

i5 760 @ 3920mhz
680 Power Edition 1254/3506

Welcome to the thread.

And on the scoreboard.

 

[Kaapstad]

lol I just noticed. I see Khemist is leading but wanted to give a blast when it is much colder on the bigger volts...Hmmmmmm

Ambients of 26c is just too hot

It is nice to get some scores in the Hi Rez section.

Bring on the cold weather.

Scoreboard updated.

 

[Kaapstad]

I couldn't resist, so had another run...

Spoiler

Temps got upto 52c, so a little warm.

3930K @ 4.625 130Mhz/3767Mhz

I have another 70 ish Mhz to play with in these temps but I am not a fan of going over 1.3v and have to for these clocks.

Well done sir, up to no.1

 

[Kaapstad]

Cheers

Edit: That was 1306Mhz btw not 13

Check my last post in the 290X thread.

 

[Kaapstad]

I struggle to believe that monkeyface's score is legit with that low a core clock. It's clearly glitched, he even intimated so in his post.

The boost will be higher than what is recorded in the table, in his post he put +200 for the core which works out at 1063mhz. I don't know how much higher his card boosted but it will be well over 1200mhz.

If you check the clocks on my Titans in the 3 way scores they look quite low but they are actually boosting to 1200mhz.

@Monkeyface, Where you had a glitch could you do another run please and post the boost clocks.

1440p re-done properly with 8xAA this time. Slightly more realistic score

2 x 7950 @ 1160/1800
i5 2500k @ 4.7

Score 1204

Spoiler

It is a very tough bench at this resolution

And on the scoreboard.

Talking about glitches

Here is the MOA glitches

I have never used this score as the computer crashed as it was saving the pic lol.
