Oh wow, those are some nice runs!


I think I could break 10k easily. Still new to OCing and figuring it out. GPU OC only. Still not sure about doing the CPU yet. Using Afterburner and normal BIOS I had the settings like this..

Power Limit 109%
Core Clock +150

Stable. Once I get more comfortable I'll switch it to the LN2 setting.
December 18, 2013 2:43:49 PM

New AMD drivers! It looks like my power limit slider is finally fixed, no more black screens when I try to use it!

AMD 13.12 WHQL

Here is a 3DMark run at 1125/1550

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/1884462

I was able to run 1150/1550 without crashing but in GPU test #2 I saw some very slight artifacting so I need to dial back some.

Nicely done! How do you like the card? Do you use a reference cooler or aftermarket?

The card is alright, it seems to run much better now on the new drivers. I strapped a H55 CLC to the core and zip-tied a spot fan to the VRMs because I couldn't handle the stock fan noise.



December 18, 2013 4:57:15 PM

A spot fan may not be sufficient to cool the VRMs because they do not have all that much surface area.

That's what I thought, but the spot fan does a much better than the stock cooler. Stock cooler I would get into the 80's, now I'm in the mid 60's on the VRMs.

You considering an aftermarket cooler once some reviews are done? Pretty nice job getting the GPU setup in such a fashion...I am not that brave (pretty new to building).

I'm going full cover water block, I have this coming. I still need a pump and some fittings. I have a bunch of rads, CPU block, and tubing already.

The Deluxe is the nicest thing there. It has everything! I'm jealous.

Yeah the board has been great! Can't underestimate the cards either....latest scores with some mild 5% OCing and a 0.1Ghz jump on the CPU puts me just past the 10K mark!!!!:
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/1893344

Clean run and temps were still nice.

Not everyone has a deluxe. That was a good choice and the one I'll be making once Broadwell hits the market. Hopefully by then boards will offer mSATA 802.11AC 3x3 transmit/receive and not 2x2.

Anyway back on topic, good scores!

December 20, 2013 6:42:36 AM

How would you guys interpret the individual GPU/CPU scores versus the combined score? I noticed mine on my latest run were neck and neck individually but came up short on the combined score...would this suggest that they are not playing well together (little bit of bottlenecking)?
December 20, 2013 3:45:29 PM

I don't want to post too much on this thread, but here are my best and likely final numbers with my current build. I pushed it a bit further, but noticed some artifacts and the program crashed in the combined test. I backed it down a tad and got a clean run...here it is: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/1899801
December 21, 2013 4:25:04 PM

ok, I got my newbie-gamer machine set up and tested, so I've got some numbers.

system is i3-4130 / 8G ram / GTX760 / 1080p, all stock, Win8.1x64, latest drivers as of Dec.21/2013

eh, it's not bad. kinda glad I returned the 650Ti Boost SC and got the 760 OC instead.

Just wanted to pass on that STEAM is running a flash holiday sale and 3DMark is presently $2.49, so for any of you running the basic edition you cannot beat that price, it is a flash sale so it's time limited, better hurry!

Good eye Ry.

My Z77 MPower came with a copy, but it is nice to have the full version. You don't have to watch the demos or run all three tests, you can pick and choose.
December 23, 2013 1:54:05 AM

Sorry for this off topic post.

STEAM also dropped the game price of Serious Sam 3 BFE from $39.99 to $9.99 during the holiday sale, and SS3 is a really fun game to play and probably the best game release of the entire Serious Sam series, the graphics are great and the game physx as well, it's no wonder it took a holiday sale to get the price dropped.
December 23, 2013 10:57:44 PM

just scored 11397 ( better than 95% of all tested.) stock... i just need to know how far my gpu's can OC. 2x evga 770 sli---- i7-4770k at 3.5 stock
December 27, 2013 5:25:22 PM

:D 

Looks like 3DMark has finally accepted my drivers. Also with my waterblock installed I was able to get a better overclock.

R9 290 @ 1150/1500 - 12039

On a side note, since 3dmark is installed on a USB 2.0 hdd, it took a whopping 30 minutes(!) for the firestrike test to load


High five for below a 1000 score :D 


the sad part is if i ran this on my mac yours would be a lot better
Mac Specs:
dual core i5 @ 2.66GHz
4gb 1066MHz
256mbs-64bits VRAM
mobo bus speed 1.3GHz
oh did mention that it is also made in early 2009 and it was top of the line back then; i want it to die but it wont its a mac after all it will last until it meets mister sledge hammer which will be soon

Well its mainly about the video card
Chances are yours has less shaders and my 6670 has a 128 bit bus and 1 GB RAM (and firestrike still fills the VRAM)

Geez dude have you ever heard of keeping it as a backup? We live in a society that is far too wasteful

December 31, 2013 12:55:24 AM

^I agree with the backup system statement, install a linux distribution and play around with it a bit or use it as a folding rig to contribute to something at least :D 

Also considering that i5 he has is probably the i5-750 which is still quite good if you overclock it a fair amount, add a decent GPU and/or PSU to that mac and you should have no problem gaming or getting decent results in Firestrike as well
December 31, 2013 1:58:56 PM

Yeah that geforce 6200 is pretty much a terrible GPU
December 31, 2013 2:20:18 PM

pretty much? i can only play G-Mod on lowest settings to get 60FPS if there is no smoke n such and im a gamer :( 
December 31, 2013 4:22:36 PM

How did you end up with a standard PCI Geforce 6200? that's one of the oddest pairings I've seen, a gaming quality i5 with an ancient entry level 6200 :lol: 
December 31, 2013 7:31:13 PM

And unfortunately that Mac probably cost a pretty penny when it released. But to be fair, they aren't designed as gaming machines.
January 1, 2014 4:51:52 PM

The price of Mac GPUs is ridiculous compared to PC GPUs
I do not know much about Macs but I believe you need to use a GPU made specifically for a Mac
I could be wrong
January 2, 2014 5:46:48 AM

no, as far as I am aware, there is a 7950 mac edition, that has a standard chip on it, just a bios made for macs. I believe that they should have somekind of digital signature.

[Powerbolt] - [i7 4770K @ 4.0GHz] - [EVGA GTX 780 @ 1037MHz / 1802MHz] - [9803] -> http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/2100330

Spent the last few hours tweaking the overclock. Can't seem to get a stable OC at a base clock modifier of over +70. So the final modifiers were +70 to the base clock, and +600 to the memory clock. Not too shabby I suppose.

Drivers.

Try out 320.49 WHQL and I bet your score will be better.

Compared:

thanks for replying so fast man...reverted to 320.49.. here are the results http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/2143502 Not much of a difference...a few points low actually than the previous one!! :??: 

This is bugging me now :pfff: 
January 8, 2014 9:16:46 AM

Consider most runs are over clocked. My run I believe was 4GHz CPU/1150MHz core | 7012MHz memory GPU.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but another possibility could be the 2TB green drive and the fact you're running in single channel being only one RAM module is installed.
January 8, 2014 12:52:32 PM

If you were to overclock that 780, you would see a pretty substantial performance boost. Since it's a base-clock model, you have a great deal of room to tweak it up.

I agree 100%. I'd jump the core up to 1150 and memory up to 7010 (1752) w/stock voltage and jump in and test.

He should check his ASIC...

Nope, but then again I am relatively new to computers. I was a console guy for the longest time (to long honestly). My BF3 tag for xbox360 was oOSlushyFeverOo....if i remember correctly. On BF4 via computer now, but have a huge learning curve to go through.
January 8, 2014 11:34:09 PM

Totally forgot to mention this:

Download EVGA's Precision X. I have found it to be the easiest tool to use while overclocking. You can find it here:
http://www.evga.com/precision/

If you need help using the tool, post here. I have used it countless times now to get 10K runs on SLI 760's. I am sure others would help you as well!

NOTE: For starters on you 780, push Power Target to 105%, push GPU Clock Offset to +100, push Mem. Clock Offset to +125- +150. This should be a decent AND safe starting point for your 780.

Alright no prob... was just playing some Canals yesterday with the guy. Just seen the name and was curious.

January 15, 2014 4:31:17 AM

Nice!
January 17, 2014 12:49:51 AM

Started playing around with the GTX 780, and Precision X again, and rounded up just under 100 points from my last benchmark. So close to 10k! :/

I was hoping for a bit higher score but gtx 660 is getting old, next week (hopefully) ill have a new gtx 780 in my hands and i'll test again (lets see if i'll manage to get at least 9k).
