Benchmark Thread - How do you rank against other GS users?

You can get much better scores! horgen123

Oh I know. But until I have a game chop up on me I don't overclock. Unless its a factory overclocked vid card or something like in my sig.

If you really wanted, you can easily OC them 7970's to 1200/1800 (give or take) and crush that dude in 3rd place. :P

You want him to beat you? horgen123

It's not wanting, it's already a given if those GPU's were clocked higher. ;)

Improved my Ice Storm score by sticking some better firmware on my note. AllianceRom was hold my note back now I'm on JellyBeer4 and things are better.

This is the latest and best 3DMark score for a i7 3770K and 770 SLI.

Still doesn't beat mine :D:D

Looking at that physics score, CPU must be at stock. The graphics score is slightly higher. C_Rule

I wanted to test my FX-8350. But, 3D Mark Basic couldn't connect for some reason. I'm not sure why. But, I'm not about to disable the security settings I have in place.

did you allow 3dmark through any firewall you are running?darksusperia

Yup. I also turned off the systemwide protection in the resident portion of Spybot: Search and Destroy. Still No Go.

I mean if Steam, Origin, and Uplay have no problems communicating in and out, then Futuremark shouldn't have any either. So, I'm not going to worry about it.

Here is my test.

The thing is I already enabled 3D Mark firewall access plus I turned off Spybot: Search & Destroy and did a restart. 3D Mark still couldn't connect. I don't think it's worth it to find out why 3D Mark couldn't connect online while the DRM apps (Steam, Uplay, and Origin) and everything else can.

Mine. I don't think I needed to mess with the firewall or security apps. Yup. Figured it out. Oh. I have Turbo Core Technology disabled. So, I don't think it'll go beyond 4Ghz. Turbo Mode goes up to 4.2Ghz.

Just an update:

This is as far as I'll go without messing around with my voltages and conducting stability tests. Seems fine though at 4.4Ghz.

Wife's old PC finally died (pos mobo anyway), so I just went out and upgraded it to a 2500k. Still on stock cooler yet so can't OC very high, will change that to the H100i as soon as I get her a better case. Got it 2nd hand on OCN so it was a good bundle deal. (CPU/Mobo/Ram) :cool:

Anyways, so far the 3DMark Fire Strike score is: 2656 (Link for proof)

2500k @ 3.8GHz, GTX460 @ 850/1900, G.Skill Memory @ 1600MHz

Darn, and I was really considering buying the 8350 :( I'm just going to wait and see if Steamroller is any good then, assuming that it is still AM3+ like every site currently suggests. With the (supposed) added hyperthreading, I assume its performance should beat out my 1055t handily. Really been looking for a worthwhile replacement without having to also buy a new motherboard :/Weird_Jerk

Good enough for me since I'm moving up from a Phenom II X3. The physics scores are kinda low. But, the old GTX 560 Ti installed seems to have an effect on them. 

Looking at the list of similar CPUs with similar (over)clock speeds, they also have varying physics which seem to correspond to the different video cards. My motherboard is about as low-end as it gets even though it's an ASUS board.

The FX-8350 is just to tide me over until I assemble an all-new PC next year. That one will be either Intel or AMD depending on what Steamroller brings.

Eh, I understand.  The motherboard does play a pretty big role in these benchmarks, as I was able to squeeze out a few hundred extra points just by pushing the FSB a lot further and lowering the multiplier.

On the other hand, I'm really looking for a CPU comparable to at least an overclocked 2600k with a physics score fairly easily over 10k, but I'm too cheap to put up enough for any newer intel chips :P Only time will tell I guess.

EDIT: Got a new cloud gate score when I was OCing last night (it was cold, so I figured why not): http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/805258 unfortunately, my firestrike score was exactly the same :x

Looking around, some FX-8350 owners broke the 10k physics score. But, that meant overclocking it to 5.1Ghz. I don't think I'll go that far. I tend not to babysit my PC too much.

Tried it at 4.5Ghz without adjusting vcore voltages. It worked fine although I had to disable other settings like Cool n Quiet and adjust LLC to 50%. I think I'll go back to 4.4Ghz and have everything enabled.

@4.5Ghz:

thread has been updated. @jun, I didn't update your firestrike score as the current one was higherdarksusperia

That's fine. I did another test, leaving the CPU at 4.4Ghz and overclocking, this time my GTX 560 Ti. Although a couple of games I tried it on gained some framerate increases (Hard Reset: 6-8fps, Far Cry 3 DX11: 8-10fps), there wasn't even a dent on 3DMark. In fact, they were a bit lower. I don't think the overclock is even on.

Finally got home from work and was able to run the benchmark again after OC'ing my GPU.

Here are the results:

Fire Strike: 7227 http://www.3dmark.com/fs/583204

Cloud Gate: 24038 http://www.3dmark.com/cg/547925

That puts me at the top of the 680's! I will OC my CPU this weekend and run the benchmarks again.

My performance improved by 1k after upgrading psu.
