UNIGINE-Valley BENCHMARK scores

[purecain]

you have the use of asus GPU tweak and proper voltage options...

be careful though as I just tried loading up the last profile I saved from the last run and had a BlackSOD....

Can you not use Afterburner for the 290 cards?

I used it with excellent results on my Powercolor 7970.

and btw, I left everything in CCC on high quality I/O..........

my maximus board has an impact on the gpu in several ways/settings... I havnt even got around to tweaking those yet...

the maximus vi extreme has pcie3 profiles also... the best board on the market by a million miles.... IMO

Hey m8, I just read over at Toms Hardware a nice wee article that shows it might pay off to replace the thermal paste on the stock cooler (if it's stock you have).

Might get an extra 5-10% stable longer term. We know your first cold run will be the highest but for general gameplay and repeat benching, better thermal compound/application might get some higher scores too.

I just read the article...thanks for the tip... ive got some real classic thermal paste kicking around..MX-2 and arctic silver 5 polysynthetic silver compound...

I think I'll try the MX-2... goes on easier...

bit guttered... I updated the scores the night the forum must of been upgrading and the last scores updated have gone... all the posts that correlate to the scores are here though... so i'll reupdate them over the next few days...np

I'll have to run it again when I get home, I did this on the Extreme preset which is 8x AA and scored 4940. I'm still working on overclocking my GPUs and CPU though, so that's definitely not where it will end up eventually.

It's good to know that Valley misreads the clock speed though, so it's not boosting as high as I originally thought (seemed like the numbers were too good to be true). I'll update with pictures after everything is finalized and stable.

I took out the No7. spot, 4694 radrockGTX Titan@1400mhz gpu/7000mhz mem

With 2x 7970Ls @ 1200Hz/1650MHz on Air

Tested my laptop on stock clocks.
Later I will try to oc GPU/VRAM to 900/1000 and see what happens

Nice! My new run 2x 7970L- 1200MHz/1700MHz

I know score is low, Waitingfor 20nm Cards..

Why wait? Sell old hardware and get new hardware, repeat every 6- 9 months.

You end up spending less than half price on the new stuff once you figure your old HW sales into the equation, high end stuff that is.

20nm GPUs are not around the corner. Maybe 8- 12 months down the silicon highway.

i'll update for everyone on sunday... get your nubers in until then...

 

[ninja85]

replace No.25

gtx 780 @ 1293/7200

cheers

 

[purecain]

all scores updated... I think this thread deserves a sticky... I used it in my own buying decision for my first and now second card...

 

[ninja85]

i'd use even for my next card(s)...c u in 2 months meryy-xmas n gr8 newyears eve

 

[purecain]

hay listen, any cards bought for Xmas that beat my score are not gonna be included... lol

 

[the54thvoid]

Marathon ask I know but what are the chances of a distinction between single or multi card set ups? No worries if you're keeping things as they are

Thanks for updating the scores. My last score should be

No7. ---------------4794broken pixelHD7950/7970@1150mhz gpu/1500mhz mem - - - not this

No7. ---------------4794broken pixelHD7970/7970@1200mhz gpu/1700mhz mem -- -- -- but this

Thanks!

Where is the sticky? Hehehehe.

you know the thing is, about splitting the systems in to two categories...

we all have one main system and this benchmark competition is really to show the person who has been able to build the best gaming super computer...

I mean look at SonDa5's score... and how close he came to the dual card systems using a single 290x... that takes effort...

there isn't much competition at the top right now, but there are old and new members who have been waiting on an upgrade including myself...

so that's about to change... and with xmas coming, this thread tells you what to ask for if you want to build a high end system and be the king of TPU's Valley Benchmark Competition....

i'll have a look around and see about adding prizes each month.... we'll see what happens...
@broken pixel- sticky will come once theres enough info in the initial post...

btw- TPU is a community, I flashed and killed my two brand new gpu's when wizard threw us all a new bios that unbricked our cards, helping people out across the net for 10yrs...

this site's about informing and helping others within our community and ive enjoyed my time here... so this isn't one upmanship... we push each other to find a way to run our systems faster in these types of thread. then once your system is elite, you can go for hwbot cups ect... besides having one of the fastest systems in the world at your finger tips...

Like I said, no worries - you're doing a great job!

I'm happy to be in the 4000+ points group.

nice score....

 

[radrok]

I really need to get around benching 2x cards.

I'm so lazy lol.

Still doesn't beat your Titan! I just ran mine at 1123/3502 and got 93.5fps.

I think your next card is an EVGA 780Ti (Classified)?
