Unigine Heaven 4 benchmark

I would argue that the GPU / System is not the best because a low minimum is signs of throttling, probably due to overly aggressive overclock

It is like in F1, if your car finishes first, then it is the best car.
If the purpose of the benchmark was the highest minimum, the systems will be tuned in a different way and there is no reason to think that many of these cards won't get higher min fps than your card.

Ok, fair point about f1 car finishing first. However what if it finishes first, but only because the engine is tuned so well and there is also a high chance of it bursting into flames and not finishing at all? Or crashing on the last corner?

I havent specifically tuned my system to get a higher minimum fps…so, what’s causing the increased minimum?

Good score but I still don’t understand the 9.2fps minimum.
Do you have monitoring to see the core and memory clock speeds when it hits 9.2?
I can only guess the core / memory clock frequency drops through the floor.

Work out why and the score could be vastly improved (get it to 60fps minimum for the few seconds - should get a few extra fps which are dropped at that point)

think thats just a glitch,was under the impression that this test almost gpu bound if i increase cpu clock from 5.2all p to 5.5 i get below score

intel 12900k at 5.5,54,54,53,53p 4.1e windows 10
nvidia 3080 Ti core 2040 mem 10020
471.68
The 3080 ti wouldshine if it didn't have voltage cap.

Could be a glitch I suppose but whenever I noticed frame drops and stuttering it was my GPU throttling back to idle frequency.

Nice, couple of extra frames / points and the minimum is was better. I expect the slightly reduced core speed held that 2040 for longer. Maybe try 2025 core and all other settings the same
 
Nice to see some 12th gen benchmarks showing up in here putting in some good scores :D ... give me something to look forward to when i upgrade to 13th gen next year:cry:

I'm not going to be matching 1st place in 1080p with my 10900k as its starting to show its age , time for the bin:eek: will stick to the 4k stuff till i upgrade ;):cry:

Asus Strix 3090 Oc @ 2145/5476
i9-10900K @ 4.9Ghz ( stock as no need to oc for this )

Driver 497.29

The low fps is trigged during a scene change when the screen goes black for a split second and you never actually notice it but will show up in the bottom right box while doing the benchmark run as min fps.

Nice 4k score, even your fps min on that is 37, so appears no bug for you.

Why does the low fps ‘bug’ not happen on my machine?

The only time I ever noticed low minimum fps scores was when my gpu or cpu throttled to desktop / idle clock speeds.

Never heard of the bug and i ran through 10 heaven 4 benchmarks yesterday and didnt get lower than 50fps each time. Most were 60+
 
Hi all, throw back to 2013 which was the first high end GPU I ever owned after previously having a 460 & 660 Ti...

Managed to grab for £60 but was reported running hot ( reference model ) so after I've stripped it down cleaned it up thermal grizzly conductonaut and a custom Vbios core clock sits at 1193mhz & 7.5ghz memory can't go much higher than that on either... but for a near 10 year old card I would assume it's not at 100% efficiency etc.. still with a conservative fan profile it didn't break 75 degrees!.. I'm happy -_-
