3DMARK Bench Thread

Why are you doing it this way though ? Very odd way of running a score table :confused:

Be honest now, It's the Irish logic kicking in :p

I just wanted to try something different.

A Pure score based table will be dominated by all high end PCs, and generally become a dick measuring contest.

measuring score gains through overclocking allows even lower end PC users to contribute to the thread, thus making this a semi competitive overclocking thread in which everyone can contribute.

Fair enough, Still a little odd though but creative I'll give you that ^_^

Maybe a separate table then for those of us who prefer to do traditional benching ?

BOOM! Now that is an increase! 37.52% Doubt anyone is going to beat that.

Kaapstad, I'm assuming the CPU is a big bottlekneck for your benchmark? Is that what gives you such a immense increase?

The CPU @stock is a huge bottleneck for 4 cards. Stock is 3.2 (3.8 turbo) but even @5.0 it is still bottlenecking the cards.
 
Gain results, but only % matters... OK.
Note before showing my results :
I want to apologise for taking FULL advantage of % gains.


So : To all those with Powerfull Haswell's/Ivy-Bridge's and... Athlon64's :p
That's NOT how U do it... THIS, is the way to do it :

Spec : Celeron D 360, GTX 780 Ti, ASUS P5B ("Vanilla") with v1.04G PCB and no VMOD's applied, Corsair TX750 (v1); OC - CPU 3,46GHz@4,99GHz, GPU @ stock.

Stock @ 3,46GHz, (SS with Spec settings - LINK) :
3DMark11 (P-Score) : P1273 (LINK)
3DMark (2013) Basic (FS only) : 1089 (LINK)

OC @ 4,99GHz, (SS with Spec settings - LINK) :
3DMark11 (P-Score) : P2041 (LINK)
3DMark (2013) Basic (FS only) : 1906 (LINK)

Improvement/Gain (%) :
3DMark11 = ~60%
Fire Strike = ~75%

Commentary :
I used Silentum PC "Fortis" air cooler with Arctic Silver 5 thermal paste.
Picture of the setup : LINK
Challange for all - Try to beat my gain/improvent (in %), using nothing more than Haswell/Ivy-Bridge CPU's and Air cooling ;)

Furtheremore : If I can't use 337.61 Beta driver, I can redo this on normal ones.
And I got Vantage P-Score too, but no link to Valid page - just a screenshot :(

PS. I bet no one expected something quite this MAD :)

Your links for your 3dmark 11 scores are wrong, so i can't add it, but you top the fire strike board.

TBH i was expecting something crazy like this at some point, but I'll be honest I was hoping for an overclocked Phenom II Dual core unlock or something.

Sorry about that - 3AM really isn't best time to be looking at long numbers :p

I repaired 3DMark11 links from previous post, and I include them in this one too :
Stock : 3DMark11 (P-Score) : P1273 (LINK)
OC : 3DMark11 (P-Score) : P2041 (LINK)

Since nobody wants to best my score - it's time to give U guys better reason...
I would like to replace my old results :)

NEW processor : Celeron D 347 [rev. D0]
Other system Specs :
MOBO : P5B v1.04G BUT with Vdroop Pencil Mod this time [changed Value = ~10k Ohms]
RAM : 3GB (2x1GB + 2x512MB )
GPU : GTX 780 Ti
OS : Win 8.1 x64 (Cel D 347 is atually one of [if not The] slowest CPU, that can run this OS ;))

Windows Index Score screen :
Stock : LINK
OC : LINK

Benchmark - 3DMark Vantage
Score Stock (@3,06GHz) : P3161 pkt. (LINK)
Score OC (@4,94GHz) : P5539 pkt. (LINK)
Gain (%) : 75,23%

Benchmark - 3DMark11
Score Stock (@3,06GHz) : P1187 pkt. (LINK)
Score OC (@4,94GHz) : P1967 pkt. (LINK)
Gain (%) : 65,71%

Benchmark - Sky Diver
Score Stock (@3,06GHz) : 2633 pkt. (LINK)
Score OC (@4,94GHz) : 4247 pkt. (LINK)
Gain (%) : ~61,3%

Benchmark - Fire Strike
Score Stock (@3,06GHz) : 948 pkt. (LINK)
Score OC (@4,94GHz) : 1830 pkt. (LINK)
Gain (%) : 93,04%

For those that don't get how that^ is possible :
Frequency scaling on this CPU/GPU combo... will work better than basic math tells U :)
Reason : True GPU Bottlenecking and True RAM/FSB Bottlenecking, are working together here =)

PS. Still waiting for those unlocked Phenoms... because I didn't OC'ed GPU on this yet :P

Haha, I guess the post is too old to edit, so here is the new leaderboard. I completely forgot I made this thread.

Benchmarking is a thing close to many of our hearts here on OC3D, and with the recent release of Futuremark's Sky Diver Benchmark for both free and premium users of 3DMARK I decided that OC3D NEEDED a place to share and discuss their scores in many of Benchmarks and celebrate 3DMARK and the performance benifits gained from system overclocking.

3DMark_release.png


So the point of this thread is to post your scores, both bone stock (CPU, GPU and RAM) and in fully overclocked states.

We will record the names and numbers for the top 10 members in each benchmark, and for those who think that only the rich kids will be on the leaderboard your wrong!

I will record on the OP the % performance gain and not the overall score, so even your kabini based PC could make it to the top if you try hard enough.

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!

Please post your scores as follows;



PLEASE GUYS when posting New results do not edit previous posts but add you stock and OC'ed results to a NEW POST! This will make things much easier for me when more results come in.

Benchmarks

So for this thread we will go for the most popular (and free) Benchmarks under the 3DMARK name currently used in OC3D reviews, we will ofcourse also add the "New Kid" Sky Diver into the mix. So we will only stick to P scores here.

Now lets get started.

header.jpg


We will start with 3DMARK Vantage, the oldest 3DMARK Benchmark still used by TTL and the OC3D Review team and a personal favourite. There is something nice about the New Calico benchmark that makes me really want a new Sins Game.

As Said before we will stick to P Scores here and will post the leaderboard below.

1. agent_x007, 75.23% Gain, Intel Celeron D 347 & GTX 780 Ti
2. kilbravo, 37.7% Gain, i7 4930k & R9 290X Lightning
3. Damien C, 25.88% Gain, i7 3930K & GTX 780Ti SLI
4. mehere, 21.54% Gain, i7 3770k & HD 7970 Crossfire
5. Watsyerproblem, 16.51% Gain, i5 4670K & R9 290
6. JR23, 16.21% Gain, i7 2600K & GTX 780 SLI
7. HackManSD, 15.79% Gain, i3 3220 & GTX 760

3DMARK 11 is again another popular iteration of 3DMARK used, the iteration that brought DX11 into the mix.

Again the leaderboard is below.

1. agent_x007, 65.71% Gain, Intel Celeron D 347 & GTX 780 Ti
2. Kaapstad, 37.52% Gain, i7 3930k & 4x GTX Titan SLI
3.Damien C, 17.76% Gain, i7 3930K & GTX 780Ti SLI
4. mehere, 15.74% Gain, i7 3770k & HD 7970 Crossfire
5. Watsyerproblem, 13.58% Gain, i5 4670K & R9 290
6. HackManSD, 3.04% Gain, i3 3220 & GTX 760

58311.jpg


Sky Diver, the newest benchmark added to the 3DMARK library. I wonder if the leaderboard will favour the lower to medium spec'ed builds when it comes to performance gains.

Lets see;

1. agent_x007, 61.30% Gain, Intel Celeron D 347 & GTX 780 Ti
2. Damien C, 23.48% Gain, i7 3930K & GTX 780Ti SLI
3. SieB, 21.85% Gain, i5 2500K & R9 290
4. Kaapstad, 21.49% Gain, i7 975 & 2x HD 5970
5. mehere, 17.13% Gain, i7 3770k & HD 7970 Crossfire
6. QuietOne, 15.04% Gain, i7 2700k & GTX 780
7. Watsyerproblem, 14.78% Gain, i5 4670K & R9 290
8. HackManSD, 11.56% Gain, i3 3220 & GTX 760
9. barnsley, 10.53% Gain , FX 8320 & R9 280X
10. Wraithguard, 6.55% Gain, FX 4100 & HD 6790

normal_FireStrikeP.png


Finally here we have Fire Strike, a benchmark that can make even the most powerful rigs produce what is not much more than a slideshow, especially in the combined test. Again we will b sticking to P-Score here so that the Free users can compete (and I dont have more work to do).

Now lets see who gains the most here;

1. agent_x007, 93.04% Gain, Intel Celeron D 347 & GTX 780 Ti
2. mehere, 23.22% Gain, i7 3770k & HD 7970 Crossfire
3. Damien C, 21.42% Gain, i7 3930K & GTX 780Ti SLI
4. Watsyerproblem, 16.18% Gain, i5 4670K & R9 290
5. Rickyjb, 12.36% Gain, i7 980 & GTX 780 SLI
6. QuietOne, 11.21% Gain, I7 2700k & GTX 780
7. SieB, 10.31% Gain, i5 2500K & R9 290
8. Wraithguard, 7.44% Gain, FX 4100 & HD 6790
9. HackManSD, 5.66% Gain, i3 3220 & GTX 760

Now before letting you guys go at it, firstly have fun and secondly make sure you add link to your scores, otherwise I cannot validate them.

Best of luck guys.
