Is my ASUS GTX 970 Unigine Heaven benchmark okay?

Reeadon · Sep 26, 2014

Hi,

What's inside my PC (Built in 2012):

Motherboard: ASUS P8-Z77-V Deluxe
CPU: Intel 3770k 3.50GHz (Stock Cooler and HyperThreading is off)
GPU: ASUS GTX 970 4GB STRIX
RAM: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
Storage: 1x120GB Corsair SSD Force Series 3 + 1x240GB Corsair SSD Force Series 3
PSU: 1000w HX Corsair Silver Certified
Case: CM Storm Trooper.

I bought an ASUS GTX 970 STRIX Edition today, and I immediately went and tested it in Unigine's Heaven Benchmark.

This is the result (you dont have to comment on the quality):

My question is, is this okay for this card? I tried to google it, but there were no systems that were close to mine, so I wouldnt really compare it to theirs.

Yes that is

Reeadon · Sep 26, 2014

jty0yt :

Thank you! I was kinda worried, since I don't really know anything about Unigine Heaven

jty0yt · Sep 26, 2014

You are welcome, I would appreciate a "pick as the solution" only if I solved your problem

Something seems off. I'm assuming that's stock?

Here's me benching my single 780 @ 1320/6600 (air, max it does is 1341 before becoming unstable without unlocking voltage)

64.4 fps (I think it does 54 fps or so at stock, though I don't remember)

I think the 970's should be able to hit around the same with a nice OC, maybe even more.

*I have 3 monitors hooked up. Though I wasn't testing it at that res, just having the extra monitors drops the fps some. Maybe 1 or 2 fps when benching.

Well I have a Gigabyte GTX 970 g1 Gaming and I pull like 2666 points. Max FPS 127, Average 64 and min 27 ....
The card is running at 13xx base clock and 1900 mhz ....

I'm kinda pleased ...

I'll upload a picture this evening for you

jty0yt · Oct 7, 2014

I got 52 FPS with my OC of 150mhz, 15 MV voltage increase and 105% power limit from my MSI GTX 970 but that is a beast OC'er. I would rec OC'ing it as I got around that before I oc'd it.

I get a huge drop in fps when loading the first dark scene... Why is that?

stormworm · Oct 14, 2014

EndlessNaraku :

Try run it once, and then do benchmark, it's usually faster at second run.

junkeymonkey · Oct 14, 2014

funny whats what I found [I loop 3 times] and also if you start the bench just in the right place your min frames start higher and can give a better score on it

stormworm · Oct 14, 2014

Just did few runs, this one's best I got

I always get slowdown at scene 19. No idea why...

MasterDell · Oct 19, 2014

I have been having problems ESPECIALLY with fire strike. Running a 4790k and a 970. Preset on extreme I get 1799.

sora · Oct 19, 2014

EndlessNaraku :

It probably is just the graphics drivers. Your stats seem normal.

Reeadon · Oct 21, 2014

jty0yt :

Uhm, are you sure my graphics card is okay?

At this page, it seems that im waaaay off: http://www.ocaholic.ch/modules/smartsection/item.php?itemid=1443&page=5

Im kinda worried that theres something wrong about my power supply.

Also, a lot of the other people who have posted in this thread; their systems perform a lot better than mine, even though I should be around the same.

Isn't there something wrong in my system then?
Maybe my power supply is going bad?

2666 point? that doesnt seem right. I pull off 1930ish points with better frame rates. maybe you arent using the same resolution or so?

MasterDell · Oct 21, 2014

Reeadon :

Run unigine valley on extreme hd preset and tell me what you get. Then run firestrike and tell me. Downloaded afterburner and overclock. For my strix a nice oc was 131mhz base with 104% power draw and 61mhz on the memory

Reeadon · Oct 21, 2014

MasterDell :

Okay, I'll try that. But I have never overclocked before.

In this picture, it says something about GPU Clock and then something about Boost? Whats the difference, and at what speed is my GPU running at?

And what exactly should I increase here?

tsuneo6 · Oct 21, 2014

Reeadon :

in afterburner,
drag power limit to 110%
add 100 to the coreclock
and 200ish to memory clock. that's a nice start.
you may have to increase voltage aswell. to unlock the voltage slider you need to go to settings and you'll find it somewhere there how to enable it. a voltage increase of 20milivolts or something should be sufficient.

I added 150 to the coreclock and 350 to the memory clock with my card. and I get a score of 1936

MasterDell · Oct 21, 2014

110% and only 100mhz? I got 136 out of 104% and no voltage change.

. What settings did you run the game at?

Is my ASUS GTX 970 Unigine Heaven benchmark okay?
