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

Nah, just upping the multiplier isn't really the only thing to it, lol I wish!

Sure you can and only use the multiplier, but there's other parts to overclocking too. On a stock cooler though, you're limited, so keeping it simple is fine.

It's easy to a point, but there is more to it when you want to get the most out of your CPU. Just my 2¢.

ocd my 3770k to 4.2ghz.  All I did was change the multiplier from 35 to 42 and disabled intel auto boost.  Im not even sure thats the correct way to overclock the cpu, as I didn't change any of the RAM clocks/timings,  Cpu over clocking is so damn complicated, much harder than gpu overclocking.

gpu is at 1225mhz core clock and 1825mhz mem clock

not 24/7, only for the benchmark, no real reason to run it 24/7 like that and shorten lifespan when the stock is already damn fast.  If I increase volts, then im guessing temps will also go up and as I only have the stock cooler to work with, that will also cause me problems.

Anyways was the stuff I did the right way to overclock the ivybridge cpus?  Just change the multiplier and save and exit bios?  Is that all there is to it?

Just reached a new high for Fire strike-6333. That moves me up 1 place :)

Wonder if anyone here can beat THIS!

^^I don't want my score replaced by that...it wouldn't be fair to everyone else.  :P

The power of TITAN :o

Tried out a new BIOS today, heavily modded.  GPU Boost 2.0 is completely disabled, there is no boosting but no throttling either.  TDP limit is 350W per card, fan speed is unlocked to 100%, and both cards are running at 1.2125 V.

My 3DMark username is 2+2=5, and here is the 3DMark Hall of Fame Top 10, Firestrike Extreme, Dual-GPU:

:D

I know that we don't keep up with Firestrike Extreme scores here, but I wanted to post this and there was no other thread to post it in, lol.  :P

I'm happy with my score here.  :)

That's what I said. It's awesome!

what is more impressive is that some 7970's are ranked up there in the top 50 of both extreme and regular firestrike.  Amazing for a card thats 1.5 years old now :D

What REALLY impresses me is the #33 score in that list I posted from...that guy is using 2 non-Ti GTX 660s!  :o

Wow. I'm really doing bad in the CPU department. The guy with the 7950 and a 2500K has 1600 score better than me overall and almost double in physics. Damn. I think I'll pull the trigger on a 3570k (and get it to 4.5GHz-4.8GHz) this summer and then maybe invest in a better cooler i

if you want a better physics score then going with a 3570k is dumb, you need a core i7.  Core i5's need to be overclocked to hell and back to get a reasonable physics score.  Now you know your score, gaming wise it won't make a difference at all if you "upgrade" to a core i5 3570k.

New card, new score http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/679303 haven't OC yet, will do sometime later2ndWonder

:D

I want to see some 780 owners start posting...FaustArp

I was reading a review earlier and overclocked 780s were beating stock titans

I want to see some 780 owners start posting...FaustArp

780s were definitely tempting, but at $650 per is a bit more than I wanna pay for a GPU. (Just my personal pref)

Besides I need to upgrade CPU/Mobo before anything else now, waiting on Haswell and to see if it's worthwhile.

Check out this hot benchmark!

I don't understand the point of a GT610. It's so bad you may as well be on integrated.

Lol, right after I ran the benchmark with everything set to low/no AA and still only got about 12 fps :P

I'm surprised it even ran all the way until the end.  :P  Lol.

It's still a beast of a card! ;) Great score non-the-less.

That's awesome!! :)

Updated my score after updating drivers and further stabilizing ram since the test never wants to complete without encountering errors past 3.7GHz on the CPU): http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/700644<--my score of 4511 :)

OC'd it a little. I guess I got an average(ish) chip. +140 on the core. +150 on the memory. 9102 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/698409darksusperia

That's pretty much a Titan score!  Unreal!  :o

If you adjust for the fact that the score I have posted in this thread is for a volt-modded Titan, then I'd say they are very close.

I bet you are pretty happy right now.  :D
