3DMark Firestrike 2013 Benchmark Thread - Post your scores!

[4Ryan6]

... there are plenty of games out there that utilize hyper-threading (or multi-core). Most notably current games that use HAVOK physics...

I guess most would class it stupid as I bought my 3770K for the better batched silicon, knowing full well my own use of hyper threading would be seriously limited as most all the apps I run hyper threading hinders instead of helps.

For example when hyper threading is enabled my DVD encoding conversion output is cut in half to the bad, meaning it takes twice the time to convert if hyper threading is enabled.

Hyper threading enabled requires a higher voltage supplied to the CPU when it is overclocked, so it can be a serious limiter when it comes to 5ghz and beyond, as extra voltage equals extra heat to deal with.

Sometimes hyper threading causes gaming problems with the games I love to play so it's best left disabled in those situations as well.

However for what it's worth, it truly improves Futuremark benchmark performance!

Sorry Nick for the off topic! Ry

Out of interest, why are you encoding with your CPU and not your GPU?

Out of interest, why are you encoding with your CPU and not your GPU?

Because the application I'm using only supports the CPU, it is an older app., but has proved being nearly bulletproof in it's output quality performance, that's why I'm still using it.

That fair enough. Can recommend DVDFab if you ever need another app that supports GPU/Quicksync acceleration for decoding/encoding.

You know how it can be with the older dependable apps., you don't really want to part with them as long as they do the job very well, but the very negativity of operating system upgrading forces some apps. to get left behind period and it's kinda nice when some of them cross the line into still useable.

Thanks for the DVDFab recommendation!

Now if we could only improve optical drive burn time, as that is now the weakest link in the computer chain!

Lets get this back on topic before some moderator steps in, and Thank You!

I've been using DVDfab since the beginning, it's great. PAVTUBE is great too (and cheaper), I've actually been using it more as well as Power Director.

Ry,

Make sure to use Quicksync.

Did a little bios digging into 780 Classified and got new scores.

On air with h100i cooled i7-4770K clocked at 4.4GHz

Can't wait till I get this classy water cooled.

@ Wydomkr

Nice Clock and Score!

I got my eye on you

man if I got busted every time I went off topic over the years on Toms....

Might be necro'ing an old thread but I found my way into the 12k club.

@Jake Mullin, That score is Killer!

Those GTX 780 Ti in SLI Rock!

Thanks man! Yeah they're nice cards indeed, you definitely pay for them though. Mine are the evga super clocked dual acx cooling GPU's and they cost about 800 Canadian dollars each.

 

[RussK1]

Very Nice!

 

[Jake Mullin]

Very Nice!

Thanks so much! 🙂

Finally made some headway using the EVGA Precision X overclocking the Titan, even though I don't know what Futuremarks complaint is as I didn't even have Hyper threading enabled on the 3770K. :lol:

Now the fun begins!

Time to see what this water cooled Titan can really do!



http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/4755619

Futuremark says FPS score is too high to be valid?

What does that mean?

In comparison to what? other overclocked Titans?

I'm a little confused?

 

[RussK1]

I don't know, but that's a great score Ryan!

 

[4Ryan6]

I don't know, but that's a great score Ryan!

Thanks, The trick to overclock the Titan is keeping it cool enough that the boost clock doesn't have to throttle down, I've been experimenting to see what it can do, but at the same time I don't want to screw it up in the process!

 

[RussK1]

Take 'er easy. Benchmarks don't mean much. You know as well as I, once to a certain threshold the returns are marginal at best. I wouldn't push it too far.

But the new Precision is pretty nifty, meaning the voltages can be pushed beyond bios max...

Yeah that's when you really have to be careful!

 

[RussK1]

Exactly!

Don't you have a full cover block on the card?

 

[4Ryan6]

Yeah it's a EVGA Hydro Copper being cooled with a Watercool MO-RA3 radiator, that's how I've gotten as far as I have with it.

The Watercool MO-RA3 is a massive radiator, cooled with 4 Silverstone 180mm x 32mm cooling fans, powered by a Swiftech MCP655 pump, with a BitsPower 400ml reservoir, (two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree). :lol:
