3DMark Firestrike 2013 Benchmark Thread - Post your scores!

[lostmenoggin]

Oh wow, those are some nice runs!

I think I could break 10k easily. Still new to OCing and figuring it out. GPU OC only. Still not sure about doing the CPU yet. Using Afterburner and normal BIOS I had the settings like this..

Power Limit 109%
Core Clock +150

Stable. Once I get more comfortable I'll switch it to the LN2 setting.

 

[stickg1]

New AMD drivers! It looks like my power limit slider is finally fixed, no more black screens when I try to use it!

AMD 13.12 WHQL

Here is a 3DMark run at 1125/1550

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/1884462

I was able to run 1150/1550 without crashing but in GPU test #2 I saw some very slight artifacting so I need to dial back some.

Nicely done! How do you like the card? Do you use a reference cooler or aftermarket?

 

[stickg1]

The card is alright, it seems to run much better now on the new drivers. I strapped a H55 CLC to the core and zip-tied a spot fan to the VRMs because I couldn't handle the stock fan noise.

 

[smeezekitty]

A spot fan may not be sufficient to cool the VRMs because they do not have all that much surface area.

That's what I thought, but the spot fan does a much better than the stock cooler. Stock cooler I would get into the 80's, now I'm in the mid 60's on the VRMs.

You considering an aftermarket cooler once some reviews are done? Pretty nice job getting the GPU setup in such a fashion...I am not that brave (pretty new to building).

I'm going full cover water block, I have this coming. I still need a pump and some fittings. I have a bunch of rads, CPU block, and tubing already.

The Deluxe is the nicest thing there. It has everything! I'm jealous.

Oh son the Dark Side is strong in you
You are on a path no one can follow.....

Yeah the board has been great! Can't underestimate the cards either....latest scores with some mild 5% OCing and a 0.1Ghz jump on the CPU puts me just past the 10K mark!!!!:

Clean run and temps were still nice.

Not everyone has a deluxe. That was a good choice and the one I'll be making once Broadwell hits the market. Hopefully by then boards will offer mSATA 802.11AC 3x3 transmit/receive and not 2x2.

Anyway back on topic, good scores!

 

[oOSlushyOo]

How would you guys interpret the individual GPU/CPU scores versus the combined score? I noticed mine on my latest run were neck and neck individually but came up short on the combined score...would this suggest that they are not playing well together (little bit of bottlenecking)?

 

[RussK1]

There's no bottleneck. You're right where you should be... just means the 4770K is a good processor.

Compare with my late 3770K and 680 SLi:

[oOSlushyOo]

I don't want to post too much on this thread, but here are my best and likely final numbers with my current build. I pushed it a bit further, but noticed some artifacts and the program crashed in the combined test. I backed it down a tad and got a clean run...here it is: http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/1899801

 

[giantbucket]

ok, I got my newbie-gamer machine set up and tested, so I've got some numbers.

system is i3-4130 / 8G ram / GTX760 / 1080p, all stock, Win8.1x64, latest drivers as of Dec.21/2013

eh, it's not bad. kinda glad I returned the 650Ti Boost SC and got the 760 OC instead.

Just wanted to pass on that STEAM is running a flash holiday sale and 3DMark is presently $2.49, so for any of you running the basic edition you cannot beat that price, it is a flash sale so it's time limited, better hurry!

Good eye Ry.

My Z77 MPower came with a copy, but it is nice to have the full version. You don't have to watch the demos or run all three tests, you can pick and choose.

 

[4Ryan6]

Sorry for this off topic post.

STEAM also dropped the game price of Serious Sam 3 BFE from $39.99 to $9.99 during the holiday sale, and SS3 is a really fun game to play and probably the best game release of the entire Serious Sam series, the graphics are great and the game physx as well, it's no wonder it took a holiday sale to get the price dropped.

just scored 11397 ( better than 95% of all tested.) stock... i just need to know how far my gpu's can OC. 2x evga 770 sli---- i7-4770k at 3.5 stock

 

[jaghpanther]

Hmmm...score went down about 200 from the last time I ran this.

Looks like 3DMark has finally accepted my drivers. Also with my waterblock installed I was able to get a better overclock.
