r9 290x crossfire low score

tainle · Apr 25, 2015

i got this score:

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/9734241

i am using the latest omega beta drivers on amd site.

is this score seem low?

i have sapphire r9 290x OC and Asus r9 290x DCU II on waterblock and crossfire. both with 1050/1350 clock/mem..i feel that this is a bit low. they should be at 22k+ for P score?

i have 1000w rosewills psu

They get 30000 here - http://www.kitguru.net/components/graphic-cards/zardon/sapphire-r9-290x-vapor-x-8gb-cf-review/6/

Post your build

i7Baby :

i7 3770k @ 4.4Ghz
16GB Extreem @ 1866Mhz 9CL
Sapphire R9 290x OC (1040/1300)
Asus R9 290x DCUII OC (1050/1350)
Rosewill RBR1000-M Bronze Series 1000W PSU
120GB SSD (OS Drive)
Catalyst 15.4 BETA

I am very surprise kitguru have that high of a score for two vapor X 8GB and I believe the memory size is trivial.

If your GPU are XFired - why have they different clocks?

Download HWInfo and run Sensors. Run the benchmark again. Post the Sensors results - usually 3 screenshots in TinyPic, Gyazo or similar. To see your clocks, temps, voltages, etc.

I want to see Current, Min and Max readings per Sensors. Not an Excel file.

Like http://www.pcmag.com/slideshow_viewer/0,3253,l=326413&a=326413&po=4,00.asp

You've OC'd the CPU? max 4.6GHz and 77C core temp - way too high. Vcore 1.328v. Restore bios to default. Get a good custom cooler before trying to OC again.
Can't see your CPU fan rpm. What is it?

PSU voltages are OK

Not getting full readings for your 2nd GPU. Check its plugged in properly.

i7Baby :

Yes the CPU is oc'd at 4.6ghz.. i water cooled my cpu with the rest of the gpu watercooling setup..i can understand why the cpu is a bit hot but it shouldnt be a factor for low score. i have 120mm radiator and connected to 2x240mm radiators..

pump > 120mm rad > cpu >240mm rad > 240mm rad > 2x r9 290x > pump

so no fans rpm here. i am not sure why the second gpu has no reading..if it wont pplug in correctly then the score and the detection for crossfire is not possible right?

maybe ULPS active dont give reading?

i7Baby · Apr 26, 2015

When I asked for your build you didn't mention any cooling.

Whatever you've done, your CPU is not staying cool enough. It shouldn't be over 60C while gaming. A hot CPU will negatively affect the performance of your PC.

Why no fan rpm reading? You should know your radiator fan speeds and your pump speed.

You should check your graphics cards. Check connections. Try one at a time in the primary card pcie slot to see if they both work OK.

If Xfire enabled in CCC?

i start to believe that this psu is not enough for r9 290x cfx..i had this issue before with a weak 750w psu running r9 290x cfx and i upgraded to this 1000w rosewill psu and the scored improved and matched with most benchmarks scores in 3dmark.. maybe the asus r9 290x DCU II OC required more watts..

the result in kitguru for vapor-x r9 290x 8GB cfx seem a bit too much high. ..

the fans are connected to a controller that is connected to a molex. i am not connecting my fans to my mobo..i have 10 fans total..

i have a d5 pump...

one interesting thing iwant to mention: when i play dragon age inquistion in 4k using asus P287q monitor, the computer shut down immediately when during an in game cut scenes..this game have some cut scene playing a movie and i am not talking about this..an example cut scene: at the end when the dragon fight with corypheus's dragon and when both dragons fall from sky and slam into the ground and after that my shut down immediately and reboot without any BSOD..i ran it second time and it happened again. is this because the psu dont enough juices?

R9 290X x 2 requires 1000W

A hot CPU will slow your PC down.

You should check your graphics cards. Check connections. Try one at a time in the primary card pcie slot to see if they both work OK.

Is Xfire enabled in CCC?

tainle · Apr 26, 2015

i7Baby :

yes xfire is enabled..i am going to try to use a different better psu see if that will change anything...what psu can you recommend?

evga supernova g2 1000W

tainle · Apr 27, 2015

i7Baby :

that evga is great but is this one as good?

Corsair Professional Series Gold AX1200 80PLUS Gold 1200w-CMPSU-1200AX

i7Baby · Apr 27, 2015

See http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html#xtor=EPR-8886

They are both in tier 1.

Also - http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/compare/corsair-power-supply-ax1200i%2Cevga-power-supply-120g21000xr/

The evga is half the price

tainle · Apr 28, 2015

i7Baby :

i went with the evga supernova 1300w for $144 with shipping, i might add a third card in the future..

i7Baby · Apr 28, 2015

Sounds good.

tainle · Apr 28, 2015

i hope'll it fit with phantek enthoo luxe case. it is the last thing i run into issue

tainle · Apr 30, 2015

i7Baby :

the score is still low with the evga supernova 1300w..could it be the motherboard lanes and cpu?

also i thoroughly compare with other people bench on r9 290x crossfire..my graphics score is higher than theirs and my physic and combined score is lower. maybe that is why..cpu does play a major role.

r9 290x crossfire low score
