3DMARK Bench Thread

TBH the pentium gets a better score as it seems (to me) that you want stronger cores with a big ass GPU, not more cores. Its why no one can hold a decent score with the AMD CPUs. My 8320 would probably get beaten by my pentium if I clock the pentium high enough.

hmmm...
 
It is a cracking little chip for gaming once overclocked :) and since the i5 is a non K I can now see where the Pentium gets it's higher combined, although it fails badly at physics.

Rather embarrassingly, my 8320 was only 392 points ahead of my i3 550 stock vs stock. Overclocked it pulled ahead quite alot though.
i3 (this was with the free version): 4368
8320:4760


Overclocked, my 8320 can keep up with my i7 in tasks where it uses all of the cores. Not bad from a 3 year old, £120 cpu.

-edit- my pentium didn't really last long enough to get some benches in. I'll get my ol' seidon out at one point to fire it up for some benching.
 
U guys know that both OC and non-OC results are required to be on the list... right ?
So the point of this thread is to post your scores, both bone stock (CPU, GPU and RAM) and in fully overclocked states.
 
Good try @mehere... but next time, don't forget to put ALL your RAM in for OC score run, OK ?
Ie. 4 DIMMs were "in stock" test, but only two for OC tests (FS + SD).
As far as overclocking goes nothing is off limits, Overclock your SSD if you think it will help, the only rule is that there must be no hardware changes!
Also, I don't think using two different drivers for stock and OC score is OK, but that isn't big deal (since it's not metioned in official rules).

opps messed that up I'll get back to it today
can you just clear something up for me?
for the low figure is it at stock or can I underclock, for example
my 3770k stock is 3.5Ghz going to 3.7Ghz turbo yet on this M5E it turbo to 3.9Ghz
can I lock it at 3.5or even lower it
as with the memory it 1333 with 2133 xmp which do I have to use could I drag it down to say 800?
same with the gpu depending which bios I use they could be 925 / 1375 going to 1100 / 1650 at stock but I can run from 500/800 to 1250/1850
I could run cpu at 1.6Ghz ram at 800 and cards at 500/800 for the lower figures would you allow that?
 
Well I'm not OP, so I can't be sure, but I don't think underclocking is the point of gain based list.

Stock = everything on AUTO (to me), and that's how I did my stock scores.
As for changing BIOS'es (again can't be sure of that), but i think "stock" means not doing anything to GPU, CPU and/or RAM (and changing for eample GPU/VRAM clocks with BIOS flash to get lower stock score is "doing something").
Of course it's my view, OP can have different opinion on that.

PS. I did Vmod for my MOBO (for both stock and OC'ed results), and it was counted as "OK" (since that result is on the new top list).

Having cooked it up in my other post re-ran all bench's underclocked, stock and Oc'ed
and the OP can decide which to use

underclock 4501 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/6389803
stock 8219 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/6390967
Oc'ed 22145 http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4425252

gain under to over = 392%
gain stock to over = 169%

underclock 6358 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/6390282
stock 14173 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/6392317
Oc'ed 41098 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/6393424

gain under to over = 546%
gain stock to over = 189%

underclock P16354 http://www.3dmark.com/3dmv/5248141?
stock P33542 http://www.3dmark.com/3dmv/5248208?
Oc'ed P61595 http://www.3dmark.com/3dmv/5248264?

gain under to over = 276%
gain stock to Oc'ed = 84%


3Dmark 11

underclock P6970 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/9611344
stock P10904 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/9612004
Oc'ed P23827 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/9612331

gain under to over = 242%
gain stock to over = 118%

hope I got my maths right

rig is a 3770k on a M5E with 4 x 7970's and corsair ven pro's 2133 set as follows

underclock stock Oc'ed
cpu 1.6Ghz 3.5Ghz 5.0/5.2Ghz
gpu 505/850 1010/1375 1250/1850
ram 800 1333 2133
timing 6-6-6-17 9-9-9-24 11-11-11-27 all 2T
 
Is 3d mark 11 and pure graphic cards benchmark are does the cpu come into this , i am very noob to this all in Fire Strike Extreme score 11865 with R9 290x three for them overclocked is that normal ???
 
mehere : Based on my experience, I cannot see HOW (with plain overclocking), U can achieve 3x stock score on GPU side after OC (unless U R switching on and off CrossfireX).
If U do, I don't think gain resulted from switching CFX off/on can count as overclocking (and using only OC for better results is the point of this scoreboard).
