Please don't! This ASIC quality may become a standard (and important metrics) for second-hand graphics card trading, and people would continue using 0.5.8 screenshots to fool people around... I'd say keep the current scaling that some cards can exceed 100% (and there's nothing terribly wrong...

My personal favourite software to verify reliability of a graphics card (especially for GPGPU) would be the folding@home gpu client. You'll need to make sure you never see a single "NaN dected" error throughout a 24-hour continuous run. Keep in mind that folding@home gpu client cannot stress...

One should say sorry to the 3GB vram if not benchmarking Metro 2033 with MSAA 4X and DOF, or Shogun 2 DX11 max and MSAA 8X :D afaik only the review from hardwarecannucks did the job

I just don't understand it :confused: Is it because the AMD driver team is lazy? NVIDIA still offers such function. I bet it could be handy when optimizing CUDA programs. However there is no such equivalent in ATI Stream SDK / OpenCL etc. What is wrong? OpenCL claims to be able to handle...

Then I'm sure he would respond: "don't worry, we have optimized GTX580 and it now consumes a lot less power" :D

These are stated in w1z's reviews: When it is no longer possible to avoid cheating in Furmark, how are we supposed to get an alternative?

Because we want to give recommendations of PSU regarding graphics cards (and also try to find out the performance per watt of graphics cards). In such case, stressing CPU is not very helpful unless a systematical method is used to fully stress the CPU with low priority process in background...

If a certain brand is made in China, they do quality control (similar as binning CPUs/GPUs when the yield rate is low) and sell the top class to the US/EU, and sell the lowest class in China. Also keep in mind that £1000 for a pair of graphics cards might be cheap for people in the UK, but such...

I may not be stating this very clearly.. The PSU you can buy in the US/EU are major brands. However there are many "minor" brands in China, which are "castrated" or "shrinked" or whatever the word is, down from the standard quality. Also if taken yield and quality into consideration, it's not...

How would you recommend PSU for a GTX590 then? (Without knowing the real furmark number) In the US/EU most PSU are built with high quality, but in China it's not always true. If you don't leave enough margin you might end up with BSOD or even damaged graphics cards. (Lots of posts about this...

Here are my CPU usage: max settings: high 1080p: dx9 cpu bench: Thus this game still follow the general rule that 99% games cannot fully utilize more than 2 physical cores :)

Thanks, that's the same as my 57 fps then :) It is now consistent with 3 other results I observe from Cayman GPUs

Could you upload your benchmark log file for me to check if you have everything at max except 4AA? It should be located at C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Shogun2\logs and looks like: 09_05_23_25_02_benchmark1.log.txt Thanks :)
