Dear Gtx 680 users. I have a request in 3dmark 11 score.

[litwicki24]

Hey guys. I will be very greatful. Can somebody make for me 5 loops from a row in 3dmark 11 in performance mode?
I ask because i have very big differences in results.
I mean scores on my card,are : 9458 to 9399 then 9438 to 9396 , then 9436 to 9391 and 9391 to 9442. ( score to score, from a row )
If somebody make 5 loops and paste here scores ok? Please , please. Cheers.

pc:
3770k 3.5 stock
Msi Twin Frozr Gtx 680

301 whql



Please have the same clocks on cpu and gpu on that loops.


I want to know what is your the most bigger difference in points between score to next score.
I mean from a row. So i ask about first 5 scores.

If somebody will be have similiar like me differences of 40-50 points i will be more patient.

Those variances aren't large at all and are perfectly normal for any setup. It's less than a 1% change.

 

[litwicki24]

Yes but why my 2 friends with the same GPU and CPU have differences like 10-20 points between score to score. I have 40-50

 

[hmmblah]

Probably down to your config. Do you have AV running in the background or any other programs? Have you tried different drivers? Are non-essential services disabled? Either way, what you are seeing is perfectly normal.

 

[litwicki24]

System is clean. I have the same drivers like they. The same GPU and the same CPU. And when i run few times 3dmark 11 a score is varied to 50-40 points differences. While on my friends that different are 10-20 points.

I really wouldn't worry about this little difference mate. !

 

[Josh Weston]

It makes no difference whatsoever to anything, dude. It's perfectly normal, and it happens to everyone. When Tom's reviewing two different products and they get very similar scores, he often puts the results down to the margin of error. This is because in one runthrough, product A might be crowned the king, whereas in the next run, product B would take the title.

 

[litwicki24]

But what you think about that. Somebody told me that: "I am betting your 680 is hitting the 70c and thermal throttling down at points in the benchmark. Try setting your GPU fan to 100% and do your tuns and see if your scores are more consistent. "


So my card is overheating?

 

[SnW]

Nope its not.
mine is at 79c 24/7 full load.........

 

[litwicki24]

So temp above 70C is not bad?

 

[SnW]

So temp above 70C is not bad?

Not in my eyes and more peoples think the same...

 

[hmmblah]

So temp above 70C is not bad?

Not at all. I wouldn't worry until it's 90C+. The max listed on EVGA's website is 98C for their cards. Also, throttling would make a much bigger difference than 50 points.

Have you tried setting the fan speed to 100% to see if it evens out. I know if you are overclocking and your card gets about 70C it can drop your clocks so it doesn't draw as much. It's like an overvolt protector. I haven't seen this happen with stock clocks though. The real thermal protection doesn't kick in until the card is close to 100C.

 

[litwicki24]

So for example if i have temps between 70-80 C then only boost clocks are lower? But this is not bad? Not RMA card or something?

Nope no worries mate , that card is doing more then fine

 

[litwicki24]

( 9458 to 9399 ) this is 59 points difference , its not too big fluctuate?

 

[Josh Weston]

This equates to less than 0.7% fluctuation. You're fine, dude - stop worrying

 

[litwicki24]

Guys i am very greatful for your help. I am very pleased . But i want to ask about last thing. Here are my latest scores. And that fluctuations between scores are ok or not? PLeaseeee. Look:

 

[SnW]

That flux is perfectly fine , all scores (benchmarks) do that...
ones the difference is going to be in the 1xxx marks , you should start to worry NOW you are more then fine !

 

[B3rni3]

My 3d mark scores fluctuate too man with the 680. Biggest difference was 30 points or something like that but mostly its around 15 points. I wouldnt worry about it too much man as thats a healthy score.
