3DMark (2013 Benchmark Edition)

[Pako]

Yeah I can disable them so they run single. Don't know if i would even get close to those scores running as single compared to quad sli though

I'll try though an see what I get.

Of course a single GPU run will suck compared to a quad-gpu score, but that's part of the fun!

Would it make any difference installing this software on an SSD instead of a normal hard drive?

It really shouldn't. You would differences in load times of each test, but load times are not part of the scoring matrix. If this was PCMark, then yes it would, but being a pure 3D benchmark, I would be highly surprised if it did.

Updated. Nice run Casio!

I'm going to have to do a before run with the integrated and an after with the 770.

You got yourself a 770 eh?

Nice!

Edit: Cranking the OC up the 4.0 netted me an extra grand for Ice Storm and a whole... 1 for Fire Strike.

New drivers out yesterday and my rig has been upgraded to Windows 8.1 and the new score is LOWER than the old one.

Well, at least you managed to get the new drivers installed... Mine won't install, not even shadowplay will install.

 

[Sharky.]

ShadowPlay requires GeForce Experience so if the latter won't install the former won't either

Oh I had GeForce Experience installed alright. Working fine.

Prompted to install Shadowplay update... Pressed "install". Window closed and nothing happened. Every single time. -.-

Doing express or custom install?

Try custom and "uninstall previous driver" or "perform clean install" if you haven't done so already.

6782 - F1GTR - 2500k @ 3.7ghz -[1] x Asus 7970 Matrix Platinum 3GB @ 1100/1650 - air/air

Haven't really bothered to overclock the CPU since I'm still using the stock cooler.

Did a new run, overclocked the 2500K to 4.5ghz now that I have a Noctua NHD14 cooling it. Seems like I have a bit more headroom on the CPU clock since it's on 1.29v at the moment, don't really feel the need to push it further though:

I did.

I had to re-install Windows 7 to get it to work. Just awesome. I'll stick with Win7 for now, it just seems like the better choice.

Ouch! I'm glad I haven't had any issues with 8/8.1. UGH!

We're looking for a 10k breaker with the 780's.

Won't take long if someone with a CPU better than the 920 is involved.

Tru dat!

It's nice to see a little from the red team on top every now and then.

@Pako - could I get you to update your first post with my last run, please?

Awesome run bro! Nicely done!!!

@TB, got ya covered. (thanks for the reminder)

All scores have been updated. 👍

Did you do your run with the reference cooler? I'd love to see the score of your 290X if you decide to slap an aftermarket cooler on it. It should be pretty beast, even more so, at that point.
