3D Mark Feedback

[General0208]

Dear all,

My PC had been running smoothly for over a year but recent performance fluctuates.
While gaming, the PC will suddenly lag (or unplayable) for around 10 seconds and game resume smoothly.

I used 3D mark to run a stress test and failed to pass with a score of 87.7%.
Attached analysis for reference and would like to ask for your kind suggestions in resolving the outstanding issue

Best Regards & Many Thanks

I was thinking of getting EVGA GTX1080
1) Less power consumption
2) Cooler
3) Perform better as i tend to play VR games as well

Any advice ?

no but you should look in to the evga controversy on there 10 series ? I choose the 980ti over a 10 series card of course when I seen this evga 980ti hybrid for 411$ at newegg I added to cart

dude I sure would not base the card on that test thing it did not pass for me in my first few trys then had that one pass out of the blue

thing is one run I went and used the frame limiter and capped the FPS to 60 and did not pass got just like in that link I gave where it looped the 20 times and at the end with the scores showed it only looped once [1time] ??????? when I sat here a watch it loop 20 times and also used the OSD [on screen display] to monitor the cards behavior and with that nothing flinched and was showing it to be rock solid through out the test ??

I take any of them ''tests'' with a grain of salt and don't put much in to them

now ya, you could go get another card like a 1080 but your still not guaranteed its going to do or be any better . you may just find yourself right back in the same boat as well with it ...

also if you were to go with another card I got to admit the hybrid solution is pretty nice so far it seems to been worth the extra cost just for the temps [mine is 22- 48c ] compared to a air card that can easily get 75c or above and that cooler temps as I said pretty much eliminates any thermal throttling . with a 10 series that maybe more important now on the 10 series with that NVidia gpu boost 3.0 used ?

''To start, Pascal clockspeeds are much more temperature-dependent than on Maxwell 2 or Kepler. Kepler would drop a single bin at a specific temperature, and Maxwell 2 would sustain the same clockspeed throughout. However Pascal will drop its clockspeeds as the GPU warms up, regardless of whether it still has formal thermal and TDP headroom to spare.''

you see from your first screenshot notice how when the test started and your gpu was cool where the FPS was then as it climbed up to above 80c it dropped like a rock ? that's due to thermal throttling and why I said to try fan speed adjustments profiles to get them temps down as far as you can

then with that NVidia gpu boost 2.0 on 900 cards you could be hittin the voltage limit and that will cause power throttling

so what I see is the card is set at 1.193v and you get with in 95% of that it will throttle and why I said to set that slider to be at 110%

with that it should allow the full 1.193v at 100% instead of trying to throttle at that 95% of the voltage cap ... so just setting my card to 110% I pass every time, and being a hybrid cooled card I don't get nowhere near close for thermal throttling

But my concern with SLI is that no every games can run on it

 

[junkeymonkey]

I never said anything about SLI ?? and to me as well I did sli ''once'' . lol... S-udden L-oss of I-ncome . and the way NVidia and game developers are all ways jacking with it like you say cant guarantee support at any given time , then cost , maintenance, power [psu] extra heat , dust , support, driver issues

it was OK but I don't guess I would do it again unless I got a matched card for free just to be using it , then may just keep it in the box as a back up in the end ...
