Unigine Heaven 4.0 Benchmark Scores Part 2

[CrAsHnBuRnXp]

Id like to throw my hat back into the ring with my new score.

 

[YautjaLord]

Got back to MSI Afterburner, +75MHz on core/GPU (1945MHz boost), +100MHz on VRAM (8208MHz), gave me a score of 71.8fps/1785. Will fiddle some more with settings in this awesome app, leave voltage be, or tweak it a bit, too? Power limit 111%, Temp limit - 93°, fan speed - 50%.

 

[Splattergutz]

Hope I have done this right. I'm an older gamer but my system has been a bit unstable lately and I don't think this is a good score. But this is my 1st PC build.

 

[CrAsHnBuRnXp]

Its a better score than mine

 

[RealNeil]

In the middle of rebuilding my 7900X system. Putting it into a case that will allow me to use a 280mm AIO to cool it in Push/Pull configuration. (Corsair Air 540)
I'll see if this allows for better overclocking of my CPU. If not, I may go to a more familiar brand of Mainboard.
I just ~know~ that this CPU can do more than it is with this MSI Mainboard.

I may try a pair of GTX-980Ti cards with it instead of the two 1080FE cards. I also have a pair of Dual-GPU water-cooled cards that I could try as well, but they're older technology. (GTX-690s)
I was getting better GPU scores with these 1080FE cards when they were installed in my old X99, i7-6850K system, That was a Gigabyte G1-Gaming Mainboard. (X99-UTRA Gaming)

OK, also you might try the 1080's in the 7700k system, If cpu bound titles and clock frequency is in question. Also, did you try to overclock them? my 1080 sli used to run +95 core, +410 vram, 110% power target, 89c temp target, and that overclock is on top of the evga supeclocks. Though this overclock might be proved unstable anymore, in the new system where they are adjacent and hotter, or simply in a new environment, had couple of freezes so backed out of that one. What are your system ram speeds? these contribute to better gpu scores. Also, are the cards in pcie 3.0 x16 both? You might want to tweak the benchmark's profile you use in nv control panel for default settings like no vsynv, texture optimization, prefer maximum performance etc.

 

[RealNeil]

Got the system moved over to the better Air 540 case tonight.

I had to stop at three fans on the Corsair H115i AIO.
I had clearance issues with the fourth fan, so only half of it is Push/Pull.

I'm using all Cougar CF-T14S4 140mm fans. They're quiet and they move a ~lot~ of air too.
They're also pretty cheap on Newegg if you buy them in four-packs.

I ran a few benches with RealTemp running and my CPU temps are better than ever before with this CPU. 62C was the maximum temp on any of the cores.

Four fans on the AIO would have been nice, but three is gonna have to do.

Now I can start tweaking things a little.

MSI Afterburner is one awesome app to have, Tom's Hardware, or TweakTown, or AnandTech was right - a gold (or must have) utility in all graphics cards overclockers arsenal, or some such shit. Gets the job done, plain & simple. GPU boost is @ 1910MHz, base - 1720MHz, VRAM - 8208MHz, fan speed - 65%, core voltage - Auto, gives me 58 degrees C highest. Heaven runs in windowed mode, reports me I run it @ 1920x1071 res. Will post the results tomorrow, fullscreen, right now testing this OC in windowed mode, to see if it's really stable, wish me luck - gonna run a FurMark today, hope it won't make an omlet out of my GTX 1070 G1.

The Pack / i7 5960x @ 4.265Mhz + Asus Strix GTX 1080ti 2062 / 1463 = 4055

Furmark is pointless, it doesn't test stability nor does it apply proper stress to the card because this is locked down in BIOS these days.

Use Valley, Heaven, 3DMark.

As for MSI Afterburner settings: without BIOS modding, I have found I get the best results from not adding additional core voltage, crank up the power limit to max (121%), and then just push up the core clocks as long and high as possible until it crashes to desktop. If you add voltage, you add heat which means it'll lose clocks as well, adding more variance.

 

[CradleRaider]

Just joined techpowerup to post here. Am I missing something or is my score pretty high? First time ever overclocking and don't want to fry anything! I apologize for the crappy picture. It wouldn't let me post it in full resolution. i7-2600 (no "k") GTX1070

 

[er557]

The score seems about right, OKAY in my book, just watch for stability and check the temps. What's your cooling and are you pumping voltage?
Anyway, this benchmark is highly biased towards single core clock speed and gpu clock, i.e. very 2012. In my book it's impossible that 1080ti wins over 2x1080 sc.

@Vayra86: Ran Fire Strike yesterday, same profile (+125MHz to core/GPU, 8208 VRAM, 111% power limit, 92 degrees C temp limit, etc..), not even halfway thru 1st graphics test - ctd'd. Carmageddon: Max Damage froze, all of a sudden, when i applied same profile. Heaven 4.0 & Valley 1.0? No CTDs, no sudden outta nowhere freezes, no issues whatso-f*ckin-ever. Even funnier in both cases (Fire Strike & C:MD) that temps were in a 60 degrees C range, fan speed set @ 65%. Heaven 4.0 gives me close to 75fps/1900 score with this profile. Will fiddle me some more with Afterburner. Cheers.

P.S. Since Carmageddon 2 there are triggered powerups, one of them called, you won't even guess it - Afterburner. Gives tremendous boost to car's speed as you could probably guess. MSI played too much of this game? Sorry for OT, cheers.

P.P.S. How do you get 121% power limit outta 1070 G1, max is 111% for me. Manually set this value? It won't fry PCB?

Windowed, everything set to Quality in NV Control Panel, texture filtering optimizations set to Off. Can do Fullscreen if you want.

I have nearly the exact same system as you. My score was a bit different.

Ryzen 1700x@3800 GTX 1070 @stock 16GB DDR4 @ 3200

NV control panel was left at default and bench was run at fullscreen.

I set everything in NV Control Panel to Quality, AA, AF, no texture filtering optimizations, VSync - Off, you name it. That's the reason i guess for "lower" score, just for me it's anything but low, especially with these settings. Good luck with this beast of a rig, i've yet to find any flaws in mine, awesome, just plain f*ckin awesome experience. Cheers.

I figured it was something like that. I don't stray too far from defaults as it get me into trouble these days.

Long gone are the simple days of taking a Celeron 366, setting the FSB to 100 for 550 mhz and playing Quake 2.

Overclock it like you stole it.

I haven't rebooted my computer in days and have been doing a lot of graphics work so maybe I'll rerun it after a reboot with no apps open. I also ran it windowed 1920x1080 in 1440p @144 Hz, so that could have also hurt the score *shrug*

OK, also you might try the 1080's in the 7700k system

I put the GTX-1080FEs into the i7-7700K system but left them at stock settings. (1974MHz. GPU Speed, 5205MHz. Memory)
The CPU is set to run at 4.9GHz. and the 16GB of system memory is at 3200MHz speed.
Gaming is snappy and temps are good to go. This is as far as I plan to take this PC since I'm happy with it the way it is now.
In a few months, I'll have another 1080Ti card and those will go into the i7-8700K that I plan for soon.

The i9-7900X has a pair of GTX-980Ti cards in it now but in two weeks I'll have it's two GTX-1070Ti cards here.
The CPU is fast, but the 980Ti cards really slow things down. GPUs make all the difference.
I'm not convinced that the 7900X was a good idea for a gaming box.
No games that I like can use all of its cores properly and it uses a lot of power compared to the i7-7700K and the i7-6700K boxes next to it.

The i7-6700K is pretty nice for an older CPU. Here is a run with the GTX-1080Ti single card in it.
CPU speed is 4.6GHz. and the GPU is at stock settings. There is 16GB of DDR4-3200MHz. RAM in it.
All of my systems are now on Win-10, 64 bit.

Holy... what do you need all this hardware for? You're tossing thousands of dollars into marginal upgrades every time, I'm puzzled 980ti x2 to dual 1070ti... ?!?!

my old 980ti spanks the hell out of 1070tis and beats most bar a select few 1080's in heaven , clocked at up o 1650mhz for super , 1630mhz for firestrike and heaven . only upgrade from 980ti is the 1080ti .
