Post your benchmark score

[Crazyeyesreaper]

correct only way to test is to select the plain jane benchmark game option which uses your in game settings.

Well you can try different setting in game.. but for the DX11 1080p bench-test I think any setting you use in game are ignored as the Benchmark uses its own set of parameters?

Getting 32.85 FPS with that option.
All settings maxed/ultra and everything enabled except v-sync.

Definitely thinking about adding another 6950 now that i've seen everyone's scores

[Crazyeyesreaper]

6950 xfire at 1920x1200 8xAA all settings maxxed tends to be around 45-50fps that means ultra everything including shadows vignette, ssao, heat haze etc.

[Osbot]

Ya, the SLI or Crossfire is a HUGE deal.

I ran SLI back in 2008 and it was total and complete rubbish. Mainly because virtually no games actually supported it

I'm running a 2500k@4.5ghz
570GTX stock EVGA
6 Gigs Corsair@1600
Crucial SSD 128G

On the 1080P DX11 Benchmark 44.5 FPS@1920x1200

If I added another GTX570 I'd crack 100 easily judging by the scores people rocking SLI reporting.

[Crazyeyesreaper]

try maxing the settings via going in game, then close out and run the plain jane Benchmark Game, youll drop to around 20fps easily, games ridiculously demanding

God, I don't get to build my SB rig until June, and it'll be July once I can afford to pop in another 570, and if I SLI'd now, I'd basically melt my case, since it has the worst airflow known to man, Alienware cases for you, all looks, no performance.

Could you please let me know what you are referring to when saying 'plain jane Benchmark Game'?

Thanks

There are a lot of different ways to benchmark Shogun 2 currently, with 'plain jane' we are referring to 'Benchmark Game Settings' as opposed to 'Benchmark DX11 Graphics High 1080p' or other modes with predefined parameters.


'Benchmark Game Settings' benchmarks your current in game graphical settings (user preferences).

but that's not really plain jane... considering ppl have different options checked, up'd, or even not accessed. would it be better if the 'plain jane' was a standardized benchmark??? such as the 'Benchmark DX11 Graphics High 1080p'?

quick questions... for the standardized benchmark DX11 etc... does it factor in a set resolution or your native resolution?

My Score: DX11 1080p High

What is "benchmark game settings"?

Benchmark whit settings that i use in game?

[Drowsy]

Crossfire or SLI seems to be the solution if you ask me... those 6950's should perform splendidly...

Cheers, currently scouting the 2nd hand markets for a 2nd 6950

This is what is being benched marked here.. perhaps adding this to the OP might be an idea.

Hmm, so this two are the same thing?

Spoiler

[Crazyeyesreaper]

no there not the same benchmark game settings benchs your exact settings,

benchmark DX11 1080p uses a default config to bench, it was included via dev commands, back months and months ago DX9 bench could be run already DX11 didnt work obviously

anyway im rambling

1080P uses a settings that CA has choosen,

game settings is just that your personal settings.

[Drowsy]

Oh dear I cant run the 1080p bench mark any more.. but I just run the 720p bench and got this lol

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Will see if I can get 1080p to work again, strange it was working fine yesterday now it crashes?

Was this after you made modifications to your bios/overlock?

[Drowsy]

Yes it was Unfortunately 1080p bench doesn't work for some reason.. it crashes right at the end.. so I gave the 720p bench a try.. try it.. you will probably get higher scores as well.
Obviously 720p is less demanding though than 1080p ...thus higher scores.

Just to be sure i'd download and run prime95 for 30min to 1 hour to see if the overlock is stable, it might need a little bit more voltage or it could be the CPU powersaving options messing things up. I personally disabled the whole load of it, turbo boost, EIST, --TM1/2 so it constantly supplies the same voltage and runs at a full 4.5ghz the whole time. It soaks up 28-32watt constantly (idle) but its a 100% stable.
