3DMark's New Sky Diver benchmark is available now

This benchmark doesn't seem to like overclocks like the others do, not for me anyway.

i5 2500k @4.00ghz Sapphire Tri-X 1000/1300

I think scoreboards are ok, they are good for getting an idea of how certain hardware performs and who doesn't like a bit of competition and trying to beat other peoples scores? :D
People at the top deserve to be there if they have the hardware, it's all a bit of fun, not to be taken seriously.

I'd keep a scoreboard but not that many people here do benches, the bench threads on OCUK are more populated so personally I just use those.

Not much point in a scoreboard as it just servers as a an ego trip to those running 4 way GPU's.

Not forgetting the purpose of this benchmark.. it's designed for Gaming Laptops & Mid-ranged PCs, so running it on a 4770K with SLI 780ti's kind of defeats the point.
 
If you insist.:D
Score 53192
AMD Radeon R9 290X(3x) @1220/1625
Intel Core i7-4930K @4.8
Graphics Score 109245
Physics Score 18021
Combined Score 27694

Not worth running 4 cards as they bottleneck too much.

Abandon all hope ye who benchmark here :D

Nice score, my 2500k is letting me down in the physics score, lowering my overall score. I might pick up a 2600k if I find one going cheap.

That is one hell of a score dude, i wonder how many years it will be until i can match it lol.

I think if you do a scoreboard for single and dual GPUs that should be enough. If you were to include 3 and 4 cards they would be in a very small table and rather pointless.
 
lol "if you insist" *massive slapping noise as Kaap's ePeen hits the table* *fwhump*

Top score \0/

hehe in seriousness, that's a pretty boss score dude

We'd all have a pretty boss score if we had 3 watercooled 290X's :p

In all seriousness though that is a nice score :)

Won't run at custom settings on my rig for some reason :(
 
You realize you're on a forum called OVERCLOCK3D right? I mean really?

That's the whole freakin point!

I know that but the ones who suggest score boards are usually the ones running 3 or 4 way GPU's, Just another bragging outlet ^_^

The real bragging rights usually go to the people at the top of the Single GPU chart as to get there is a lot more difficult than the multi GPU charts.

As to my cards I won't be posting anymore results so there won't be any problem there.:):cool:
