3DMark 11 Thread.

[Terronium-12]

I've been meaning to ask how that 965 (does anyone but me not imagine Intel was hesitant in using that number again? ) treats you.

As for my card I'm still not sure what caused it, but I could originally run my DCII at 895 24/7 stable, but once I tried unlocked the 6970's shaders that's no longer the case. Best I can do now is 850 24/7 stable. 895 only works for benchie runs, and 900 is a straight up gamble. I could try applying some voltage through SmartDoctor to get it up to 950/1375, but then I'd have to find a way to overvolt the Sapphire card as well.

Yeah, the 965 was pretty much, one of my worst chip purchases, especially when 920's for a fraction of the cost are way better at OC'ing. The frustrating thing is that I have enough cooling that even OC'ed from 3.2 to 4.0 under full load, my temps are well under 50C. Plenty of room for more volts, but it doesn't help. I have a unlocked multiplier, but it doesn't help... Oh well, I'm living with it but it did motivate the purchase of the 2 590's to gain a bit more mileage out of it. Considering this system (outside of the cards) is almost 2 years old, I can expect to get a couple more years of playable gaming at extreme resolutions and 60+ FPS!

Yeah, it's weird man.... SO many variables and the results can be all over the place.... I guess that's why we push the limits to see what we can get out of our gear to gain a couple more points on a run without a lockup or BSOD.

Correction: According to this thread, I got the i7 in February of 2009, so for the core system, I am pushing 3+ years already and still screaming along. I guess it's not too bad and seem to be getting my money's worth.

Fitted the radiator after cutting ahole for it to fit in my case, added coolant and not bleeding the whole system.

So far no leaks.
Once it is bleed, I will install windows and see what score I get with the iGPU.

👍 Nice! When do you expect the card to get here? Can't wait to see your results....looking good man!

 

[Grayfox]

Well I ordered the gtx680 sc so not that long.

 

[Spike125]

Gotto give it a run tonight, didn't bench for a while now ^^

 

[Grayfox]

Running it now on my machine, but with Intel HD4000.

Its horrible, it is like an engine limited super car held up by a tiny little chip.

Well my GTX680 should be here soon.

That's really a weird result. Like a V10 without a gearbox.
I think your integrated graphic was not detected properly or is not supported.
Anyways looking forward to your final result.

 

[Pako]

Ahhhhh....such a cute score.

Be nice to see what you get when you put the 680 in.

 

[Grayfox]

Ahhhhh....such a cute score.

Yes, triple digits.

 

[Pako]

Yes, triple digits.

Heck yes! I wonder what kind of frames you get in excel?

 

[Grayfox]

I was getting 2~5 fps in the tests.

 

[Gabkicks]

should get around 9k @ those cpu clocks with a gtx 680

 

[Spike125]

So, ran the Benchmark and got without Overclocking P12521.
Will on the weekend tweak a little more and see the results

Nice! And another Nvidia system to break 10k! Not that I'm see a trend here, but....I'm kind of seeing a trend here.

 

[Spike125]

Man, I just saw your score, very impressive.

I will OC a little and try to hit the 13 or 14

Bot I really like the number got 125 forward and backward in it

 

[bevo]

I just ran it on mine and got a 10056p with 2 570's smd sm I7-950 nothing overclocked.

I couldn't find my screen shots from when I had everything overclocked but I think I got into into the 12,000s then.

Awesome, post up a link so we can add another mark for Team Nvidia....

Bow down before your new video card GOD.

Your GOD has it came before me

It came with useless minions of junk, Out dated Driver disc, horrid stickers no one will use, Power connector Guide, User Guide(does anyone read these?) and the useless poster that few will use.

The E marks the spot where the treasure is hidden

More useless things this time 2 molex to PCIe and a DVI to VGA

And the thing I have been moaning about for the past week, has come.

And the less import funny funny typing keyboard.

Since it is 8am and I have to go to work, I will install after and then do the tests.

 

[Pako]

Very excited for ya! Can't wait!

Issues were detected.

When I was sorting the cables I noticed my PC was only drawing 250watts of power during the test.


Ummm, NO!.

I should be drawing 400w.

 

[Pako]

hummmmmm. Somethings funky for sure.

 

[Grayfox]

Think I found the issue.

Card is running at 324Mhz.

Nope those are idel clocks with boost clocking going to 1150Mhz.

 

[Pako]

That's just crazy. I'm sure you know the drill....Mobo bios update, PSU, Card, Faulty PCI slot... Hope you get it figured out. There couldn't be any conflict with the Intel HD4000 graphics could there be?

Man, hope you get it figured out soon! I have no doubt you will.

 

[sesselpupser]

I had a similar-ish problem with my 680 Twin Frozr III OC; when I first installed it and tried BF3 at the same settings my 580 Twin Frozr II OC was running, I struggled to hit 40fps. Opened Afterburner to find the clocks were all at the very lowest setting, updated Afterburner and got 90-110fps (as well as a somewhat abstract OC GUI). I am a huge PC noob though so I suspect you've got a different problem.

 

[Gabkicks]

you could try uninstalling drivers and then running driversweeper if the issue still isnt resolved.

Updated BIOS was the first thing I did when I got the board due it being quite out of date, 850W PSU, it has the grunt to run it, set main video out put to PEG and set the nVidia control panel options to single performance mode.

Gave me a 2000 score.

 

[Grayfox]

Looked through the bios settings that would limit the card, also tried other drivers.

It did crash in TF2 though so the card may be bad.
