Unigine Heaven 4 benchmark

670 SLI stock
 
Heaven always gets some minor glitches even on a perfectly stable OC - lense flares flashing up for a moment in the wrong place, etc. which is why I never use it for stability testing.

Bad idea. My overclock was 100% stable for constant loops of Heaven 3 and 4. Played Crysis 3 for a few minutes and got a mad rainbow screen!

If you can play Crysis 3 for a few hours then its pretty much stable
 
Nice jump on SLI 670s. Would be interesting to test and see what you get with just one. I manage 972 on a single overclocked 670. I thought SLI brings about 70%, so 1650 on that theory (if both are clocked)

Good score!

Thanks i was kinda tempted to try overclocking them, but when i started playing games i realised there powerful enough:D

Thanks for pointing it out

All sorted.:)
 
Bravely bringing up the rear with 2 card solutions, pair of 7770 in crossfire @ stock + i5 2500k @ 4.2 gives 637 Heaven marks. Didn't screenshot it, but at this resolution with that AA it's heavily (heavenly?) memory bottlenecked.

EDIT: Interestingly, benchmarking this setup at the native resolution pretty much doubles the score. My gaming PC is plugged into a 720p TV - it looks like the 7770's scale fairly well but are memory capacity and bandwidth limited.

Scored 1199 with every setting maxed out at 720p

Yep the 128bit bus really holds the HD7770 cards back. Such a shame they couldn't have given it a 192 bit bus its performance would have been so much better.
 
Please keep images to 1280 pixels wide or post in spoiler tags as below - Rilot

First go. I'll poke it a bit more tomorrow. Had quite a few loading judders, but I couldn't be bothered running again at the moment. :p

They could be so much more, but that's where the market is. They are beastly fast little cards that artificially held back by memory throughput.

If I was trying to display at 1080p I couldn't recommend them at all. At 720p, they are fantastic.
 
7970 Crossfire @ 1150/1650 (air)

i5 3570k @ 4.5GHz (water)

whoops missed the cobbles shot sorry

Anyone know why its showing Windows NT and I am using Windows 8?

Also why does it say one of my 7970's is a Microsoft Basic Render Driver?

Cobbles are no longer needed, just the results screen anywhere in Heaven 4 - yours is fine.

Some of the info Heaven 4 shows can be a bit odd.

Could you confirm your CPU speed please.
