Firestrike Ultra 4K Benchmark arrives monday

[Kaapstad]

I've been trying for the last hour to break 3000

Sooo close.. Trying to find the balance between core clock and memory. Also performance is dropping off at 1564Mhz, I can go slightly higher but the score drops

970@1558/2000
2500K@4.7Ghz
344.16 Drivers

3DMark Score - 2987
Graphics Score - 2963
Physics Score - 8067
Combined Score - 1588
Graphics Test 1 - 16.45 fps
Graphics Test 2 - 10.59 fps
Physics Test - 25.61 fps
Combined Test - 7.39 fps

It may be an idea to try again tomorrow using the same settings as you are using now. I find that about 5mins after I start up in the morning is the best time to squeeze a bit extra performance out of a PC. It is not just CPUs and GPUs that effect performance when they get warm.

I'll give that a try, hopefully Nvidia will have some new drivers out soon with a slight performance boost to help me out seen as 344.16 are only the Maxwell release drivers.

I'm hoping to break 3000 however to do that I'll have to take my side panel off.

Sounds dirty

You should be able to break 3000 easy with an overclock on a 4770K and a 780Ti.

Did i do bad?

If I want to push mine any further I will need watercooling on my cards and a tweaked bios, as my cards will not go above +195 Core as they both need +75Mv to get to +195.

I am going to be upgrading my cards next year anyway so it's not something I want to do to my 780Ti's now, but if I had got a 4K monitor sooner then I probably would have watercooled them.

Not with my case, airflow is pretty poor. Turns out a metal and glass case with very little fan mounts isn't fantastic for benching

My 7970's at stock clocks and 3770K at 4.5. I might push it some this weekend and see how far I can get.

I'm using the 14.9 Beta 1 Driver

Looks about right for a 980@1500+

Shame, you would definitely break 3000 with a highish overclock on your GPU and CPU.

I can't break 3000, tried everything. If I higher my clocks, performance drops off and if I lower one to raise the other, performance drops off

Still, 2987 isn't bad for my set up. Hopefully with driver updates i'll be able to get those measly 13 extra points

I'm going to let my case cool off when I get home (trust me, its a thing...) and see what I can get. my card has potential and I think I've actually got a non crap i7 so I'll bench away .

Also trying to get a 7990 to go with my 280x for some cheap tri-fire benches for my AMD rig.

Gonna need some serious cooling for that!

nah, just make sure the card has space to breath and a decent fan profile. My HAF XB pretty much works like a bench table .
