3DMark Firestrike 2013 Benchmark Thread - Post your scores!

[EllisDemonSlayer]

Stand aside for a record low:
[smeezekitty] - [Core 2 Duo E6700 @ 2.66] - [Radeon 6670 @ 800 / 667] - [614]

On a side note, since 3dmark is installed on a USB 2.0 hdd, it took a whopping 30 minutes(!) for the firestrike test to load

High five for below a 1000 score 😀

the sad part is if i ran this on my mac yours would be a lot better
Mac Specs:
dual core i5 @ 2.66GHz
4gb 1066MHz
256mbs-64bits VRAM
mobo bus speed 1.3GHz
oh did mention that it is also made in early 2009 and it was top of the line back then; i want it to die but it wont its a mac after all it will last until it meets mister sledge hammer which will be soon

Well its mainly about the video card
Chances are yours has less shaders and my 6670 has a 128 bit bus and 1 GB RAM (and firestrike still fills the VRAM)

Geez dude have you ever heard of keeping it as a backup? We live in a society that is far too wasteful

 

[rolandzhang3]

^I agree with the backup system statement, install a linux distribution and play around with it a bit or use it as a folding rig to contribute to something at least 😀

Also considering that i5 he has is probably the i5-750 which is still quite good if you overclock it a fair amount, add a decent GPU and/or PSU to that mac and you should have no problem gaming or getting decent results in Firestrike as well

 

[EllisDemonSlayer]

i probably will keep the mac but it will definitely not going to be used, im just going to build a gaming computer and the bus is 64-bits, oh and the graphics is gddr2 heres a link to it: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130289

 

[smeezekitty]

Yeah that geforce 6200 is pretty much a terrible GPU

 

[EllisDemonSlayer]

pretty much? i can only play G-Mod on lowest settings to get 60FPS if there is no smoke n such and im a gamer 🙁

 

[rolandzhang3]

How did you end up with a standard PCI Geforce 6200? that's one of the oddest pairings I've seen, a gaming quality i5 with an ancient entry level 6200 :lol:

 

[stickg1]

And unfortunately that Mac probably cost a pretty penny when it released. But to be fair, they aren't designed as gaming machines.

 

[king smp]

The price of Mac GPUs is ridiculous compared to PC GPUs
I do not know much about Macs but I believe you need to use a GPU made specifically for a Mac
I could be wrong

 

[Nefos]

no, as far as I am aware, there is a 7950 mac edition, that has a standard chip on it, just a bios made for macs. I believe that they should have somekind of digital signature.

 

[Powerbolt]

[Powerbolt] - [i7 4770K @ 4.0GHz] - [EVGA GTX 780 @ 1037MHz / 1802MHz] - [9803] -> http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/2100330

Spent the last few hours tweaking the overclock. Can't seem to get a stable OC at a base clock modifier of over +70. So the final modifiers were +70 to the base clock, and +600 to the memory clock. Not too shabby I suppose.

graphic score seems low compared to other 780's ..any help guys??

Drivers.

Try out 320.49 WHQL and I bet your score will be better.

thanks for replying so fast man...reverted to 320.49.. here are the results http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/2143502 Not much of a difference...a few points low actually than the previous one!!

This is bugging me now

 

[RussK1]

Consider most runs are over clocked. My run I believe was 4GHz CPU/1150MHz core | 7012MHz memory GPU.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but another possibility could be the 2TB green drive and the fact you're running in single channel being only one RAM module is installed.

 

[oOSlushyOo]

If you were to overclock that 780, you would see a pretty substantial performance boost. Since it's a base-clock model, you have a great deal of room to tweak it up.

I agree 100%. I'd jump the core up to 1150 and memory up to 7010 (1752) w/stock voltage and jump in and test.

He should check his ASIC...

Nope, but then again I am relatively new to computers. I was a console guy for the longest time (to long honestly). My BF3 tag for xbox360 was oOSlushyFeverOo....if i remember correctly. On BF4 via computer now, but have a huge learning curve to go through.

 

[oOSlushyOo]

Totally forgot to mention this:

Download EVGA's Precision X. I have found it to be the easiest tool to use while overclocking. You can find it here:
http://www.evga.com/precision/

If you need help using the tool, post here. I have used it countless times now to get 10K runs on SLI 760's. I am sure others would help you as well!

NOTE: For starters on you 780, push Power Target to 105%, push GPU Clock Offset to +100, push Mem. Clock Offset to +125- +150. This should be a decent AND safe starting point for your 780.

Alright no prob... was just playing some Canals yesterday with the guy. Just seen the name and was curious.

Nice!

 

[Powerbolt]

Started playing around with the GTX 780, and Precision X again, and rounded up just under 100 points from my last benchmark. So close to 10k! :/

I was hoping for a bit higher score but gtx 660 is getting old, next week (hopefully) ill have a new gtx 780 in my hands and i'll test again (lets see if i'll manage to get at least 9k).
