Hi,

What's inside my PC (Built in 2012):

Motherboard: ASUS P8-Z77-V Deluxe
CPU: Intel 3770k 3.50GHz (Stock Cooler and HyperThreading is off)
GPU: ASUS GTX 970 4GB STRIX
RAM: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600MHz
Storage: 1x120GB Corsair SSD Force Series 3 + 1x240GB Corsair SSD Force Series 3
PSU: 1000w HX Corsair Silver Certified
Case: CM Storm Trooper.

I bought an ASUS GTX 970 STRIX Edition today, and I immediately went and tested it in Unigine's Heaven Benchmark.

This is the result (you dont have to comment on the quality):

My question is, is this okay for this card? I tried to google it, but there were no systems that were close to mine, so I wouldnt really compare it to theirs.

Hi!

Really good. I had 127 also with my AMD/ATI HD7850 OC CF. 🙂

This is my overclocked Gigabyte G1 GTX 970 result. mines 1000 points ahead of yours. even at stock clocks im over 2200. you overclock your cpu at all? this could be the difference. my cpu is at 4.6ghz.

Wow... I just realized your using haven not valley. let me go check my heaven scores. Sigh....

OK these scores seem much better now. alas here is my Haven score. 1620

I cannot attach any files here so I'll provide my Unigine (Haven benchmark 4.0) score below. To confirm, my CPU has been overclocked to a safe 4.6 using Asus AI suite 3. GPU boost tweaked to another safe 1,350 MHz.

Unigine Score = 1,854
Average FPS: 73.6
Render = Direct3D11
Mode: 1080p 2xAA Fullscreen
Preset: Custom
Quality: Ultra
Tessalation: Extreme

So i got a newer result this is after I overclocked further to 4.9ghz and maxed my gpu core at 1550 with memory at 8200mhz mind you i have a custom bios on my Gigabyte G1 still air cooled though.

I Just upgraded my system cooling though here is a picture. coolant and window edging still in route from purchase atm.

Lol you guys are ridiculous posting "My rig gets (insert crazy high amount over 1500) points" but you use like 1600x900 and like 2AA. No crap that's going to get more points then 1080p 8AA.

When I used the same settings as OP with a ASUS strix 970 fan cooled I got about 1500 points. Average of 59FPS. Keep in mind I am using a custom bios that unlocks higher voltages and has a stock speed of 1329 core and 1953 MEM with a boost of 1431. I still haven't pushed it to the limit yet for how far it can OC so I will post more results later. Around 1000 points does see, unusualy low and if overclocking it a bit doesn't fix it you may be having a system problem like your not operating at full pci-e 16x.

My system is 1100T, 20GB ram, Asus Strix 970.

Ozfer is right, these scores make no sense as the settings are not consistent. The default for Heaven is 1080p, 8x AA, Ultra quality, Extreme tesselation in fullscreen. 1500 seems to be the sweet spot for OC'd 970's. Higher than 1600 seems ludicrous and have yet to be validated.

Yep. What Josef said.... Unigine Heaven 1920x1080 and Ultra preset otherwise. 1250-1360 is appropriate score, around there for gtx 970 system. and thats stock, or factory OC'd. no own overclockings.

Just been tweaking my GTX 970 Strix

GPU Core clock - 1418MHz (it seems to exceed this in Benchmarking apps up to 1480MHz)
Memory Clock - 1920MHz
Power Limit - 110% (it has never passed 107.8%)
Temp Limit - 80 (has yet to come close, 72/73 max so far I think)
CPU - 5820k (OC to 4.6GHz)
RAM - 16Gb @ 2,400MHz

Everything is smooth as on these settings. Still a little in it but not too much left without perhaps getting into the voltages.



Can't seem to insert a picture with score but got 1522. 60.4 average FPS. Everything max at 1080p fullscreen.

There's an nvidia service that runs in the background that when running takes away at least 3 or 4 frames from your final score. Make sure you go to your running services/apps and close everything that has to do with nvidia (geforce experience, streamer, backend, etc.) Also make sure your GPU is cool before you start. I find that I get better results when I let my fans run at 100% for a little bit to get the temp down as much as possible before running the test.

I am no expert and I am not on a new monster rig or anything like that, I have a i7 4770k OC'd at 4.5 and a factory overclocked titan black, I add around 140 to 141 mhz to that and +400mhz of memory overclock and have been able to get decent numbers but I can't seem to be able to improve my MAX FPS and I have seen others with titan blacks that consistently get 4 or 5 more max fps than I do no matter what I do, while my min FPS are higher than theirs so in the end we all more or less get the same score, so if anyone here has any tip on how to get my max FPS a few frames higher I'll be very thankful.

My setup is.

i7 4770k 3.5 GHZ water cooled, OC'd to 4.5

GTX titan black signature, OC'd to 1108 mhz, Added a custom ACX cooler and backplate (which does nothing but whatever, it looks cool)

16GB Gskills oc'd to 2400mhz

As you can see my setup is not all that anymore, add the fact that I use a 3440 x 1440 monitor and my card starts looking weaker and weaker but its still strong enough to drive current games at this resolution with minor tweaks.

If someone gave me a magical tip to get those extra 4 or 5 fps I need for my "max fps" result I'd be very thankful. Here's my latest result in Unigine Valley

And by the way, I am on Windows 10, 64 bit. Not sure why Valley says it's Windows 8

Not too sure about cooling the GPU down before performing the benchmark. Kind of defeats the purpose I think. I do the opposite, run the graphics hard before running Heaven. That's a better representation of what your system can do.

Well, if what you want to achieve is the highest possible benchmark score then it helps, if what you want is test to see if the computer is stable for running games, then I find unigine to be useless because the results I can manage in that bench are always extremely unstable for actual gaming. I have different profiles, one is specifically set to push the limits of the bench and see what number I can get, while the other profile is aimed at stability.

If you want to see what your system can do I would recommend running a newer game, like tomb raider, and see what you get there, because unigine can be misleading, which is why I only use it to try and get my pic to the limit before crashing

Yes its a decent score (thinking that u had google and other tasks like steam etc open I myself got 1630 points on the benchmark but that was after closing everything and uber settings on gpu fan curve.
