3DMark 11/Vantage Scores thread! (Benchmark Thread #3)

[wolfram23]

With the Unigene and Cinebench threads, I figured we might as well round it out with the 3DMark thread. You can do either Vantage or 11, or both, doesn't really matter. Just download and run at default Performance settings. Screenshots are great as we can see the results right here, but certainly feel free to post the online link as well (example: http://3dmark.com/3dm11/526616).

1) Download 3DMark Vantage (basic edition) : http://www.3dmark.com/3dmarkvantage/
2) Download 3DMark 11 (basic edition) : http://www.3dmark.com/3dmark11/

3) Run tests

4) Save results (print screen -> paste into Paint ->Crop/save)
5) Upload results to photobucket or imgur or imageshack
6) Post results!

Feel free to run stock, daily overclock, and max overclock results! Or just one of them... doesn't matter! I think we'll have some great results spanning 3 or more generations of great cards so it could be really interesting.

Are you sure what thread you are on? LOL

 

[king smp]

okay just checking
I am going to do a 3Dmark Vantage test
I am glad I saved all of my benching programs in DL folder
I think I have a chance against Yuka possibly
all in the name of friendly competition of course

 

[king smp]

specs: see configuration

Well I gave it my best shot
I believe Yuka beat me fair and square

 

[-Fran-]

Your 5770 had bigger FPS count, king; the 4890 was barely keeping up at around 25FPS IIRC.

Besides, this baby can't do DX11 8(

Cheers!

 

[king smp]

most of the good games still have DX9 support
Witcher 2 looks great with DX9
Metro and Crysis 2 have DX9 and DX 10 support
and the HD 5770 is a very borderline DX11 card
on higher settings it is just barely playable
it is good that I am not a very demanding gamer
Maybe because of my poor vision but I am okay with framerates in the 20s and 30s
and I am more interested in GPGPU acceleraton and UVD than FPS
I am looking to get into folding@home heavily (as soon as I have a cable modem again)
but my HD 5770 should hopefully hold me out unto the next generation of cards
Possibly a HD 8770 or GTX 750Ti?
BTW I wonder what happens when AMD gets to HD 9xxx if they are going to redo naming scheme

 

[bystander]

The last time they hit 9xxx, the followed it up with a X800 (I assume the X is for roman numeral 10). I say they do like Nvidia and drop a digit. They don't really make use of the last digit anyways.

 

[king smp]

a HD 977?
could get confusing because Nvidia is heading towards 9xx
Maybe they will start giving them names
they already have names for the cards
for example a HD 5770 would be a Juniper XT?
just go with name and then letters like GT,XT,Pro etc
I use to like the way they did the X series with the letters after it

 

[bystander]

No, I mean after they hit 9970 and perhaps X970, they can start over with 177

😱 your score is 11k, gpu score 10k, cpu score 12k.
My score 12k, gpu 10k, cpu 19k 😱
so we have a 7k difference in cpu, but only 1k in overall. Looks like they are using 1point from cpu and 4point from gpu😀

you mean. 😛
Instead of going with 10770, 10990 etc. They can choose x to replace 10 and thus names will be x770, x990 😀

Ya, they did that once before and where did my "t" go at the end of that mean.

 

[truegenius]

so you mean that invisible 't' in your second last post 😛
yeah, i have it, but only in my invisible posts 😀

ok so we both got low results
what can we do now o this

but i am happy because of these

lets wait for mal ( non i5 )
here we are, the middle seat is for you mal :lol:

 

[truegenius]

now i managed to hit 1ghz on my gpu and 3.8ghz on my cpu in vantage and then i tested my system at those clocks.

today is friday the 13th.
and so is my score.
http://3dmark.com/3dmv/4020856
😀 this time i managed to hit i managed to hit 13k.
my cpu score is less than my previous submitted score but my graphics score is a little higher and that means vantage is concentrated on gpu performance

 

[truegenius]

^invitation to super-nova explosion :lol:
but where is your score mal(vantage). 😛
(a seat is reserved for ya 😉)

 

[king smp]

Mal you are kind of like the old man that has a 69 Boss Mustang sitting in his garage that only drives it on Sundays LOL

Did you return your XFX then?

 

[bystander]

Yup I sold the XFX for $430, which I thought was a fair enough price both ways given the recent price drop.

I'm kind of frustrated that newegg (along with everywhere else) hasn't gotten them back in stock yet... they've been teasing with price drops the last couple days but still no stock.

I'm also amazed at how badly the 7970 gets smacked in 3dmark11 by the 680... looks like you need a 1300 MHz overclock on a 7970 to crack the 10k P score (assuming you don't have a crazy CPU like a 3960x). And from what I can tell, 1300 MHz is incredibly rare. Even my lightning can't make it through a 3dmark run at that clock... it might be able to make it at 1275 MHz but there's artifacting everywhere so I just left it at 1250.

Well, don't forget that the 7970 smacks the 680 around in 3dmark Vantage, so it does depend on how it's used.

Thanks for coming out to play your rig got some very respectable numbers, now I can see for myself what
the FX cpu can do. Again thanks.

 

[truegenius]

@earl45
wow
you got a sabertooth board
how is it?
How much you can clock your cpu at that board (stable and unstable)?

Honestly I love it !
I'm running 24/7 @4.7 and was able to achieve 5.2 no problems.

The biggest issue I had with all the reviews is the lopsided setups. AMD supported faster memory for a reason. granted it may cost slightly more (paid $40 instead of $25), but its permanently faster memory, even if you upgrade the cpu again, you still have the faster memory.

A well balanced system is only as slow as the slowest component. Eventually I will get an SSD, but thats really only load times.

Edit : lol, just did a search for similar setups, mine is the highest score. How many people around use 4x 160gb drives in a raid 0? I didn't even oc the gpus, but they are PC+ stock at 940 mhz.
