My Unigine Valley score. What's yours?

[Kindergartener That eats Glue]

Not the best, but not bad at all.

(I dont know where/how to put the picture of proof in.....)
I got 1789 on my laptop! YEY! 970m for the win! And I bought this laptop for $1200.
the Apache Pro 413.

EDIT: I'm mixing up my benchmarks. That's entirely plausible for a 970m.

Can you use extreme HD preset, so its comparable score with all the others in the thread please.

is... is... this bad?

 

[RobCrezz]

Yeah thats very low.

Can you please run the test on the "Extreme HD" preset, otherwise you score is completely meaningless and not comparable to the rest of them....

Hey guys, Im creaing this thread so you can share your bench scores! Anyone is welcome, but just a few conditions:
1) Run In Extreme HD preset @ 1080P or higher
2) Please provide GPU model
3) Please provide any info if you have overclocked.
Cheers, I look forward to seeing what you guys have got! 😀

This is one i did a few months ago.

http://i604.photobucket.com/albums/tt129/kuhnesitio/Result.png

CPU: watercooled i7 4770k OC'd at 4.5
GPU: Factory overclocked GTX Titan Black with modified air cooler and backplate, I then added around 140 mhz on evga precision x, and also around 300mhz or so memory clock offset.
RAM: 16gb GSkill DDR3 at 2400mhz
HD: Raid 0 Samsung Evo SSD

As you can see my machine is about a couple of years old, it really can't keep up with your monster rigs you have been posting. Those new generation cards (both 9xx and 10xx) are quite something. I hope I can get around to building one next year.

But still, I am quite proud of the result, the black still has some tricks under it's sleeve.

 

[azzazel_99]

I dunno why but with 1 1080 im getting like 4438 for the score and with 2 i only get 4556 or something like that. I should be getting WAY more than that with 2 1080's. Looking at afterburner valley was barely using my second 1080 at all. Hmm.

Yeah thats strange. Have you tried a fresh driver install? And tahnks for the bench scores guys

Nice build man! Yeah those Titan Blacks are awesome. Cheers for the scores!

You're bottlenecked. Overclock your CPU more. With more powerful cards, and certainly multiple more powerful cards, CPU clock speed is VERY important. Valley is REALLY CPU dependent.

With that 5820k, you'll be better off if you disable hyperthreading, and all but 2 of the cores, and try getting those 2 cores as high as possible. 4.8 or 4.9. That would free up some more headroom for the Valley benchmark.

CPU bottlenecking in Unigine Valley, when he has a 5820k :lol:, no...

Your saying Valley is very cpu dependant? wtf?

Yes. It's commonly known that Valley is very CPU dependent. WIth more powerful GPUs, and certainly multiple powerful GPUs, the higher the core clock on the CPU (just a couple of cores is all that's needed), the higher you'll score. Heaven doesn't have this issue, but Valley, very much does.

This is why Valley isn't used for HWBot submissions and Heaven is. Because Valley is very CPU dependent.

A 5820k, btw, has a relatively low core clock. With some benchmarks, in order to score well, he'll need to disable cores, disable hyperthreading, and just overclock the best cores as high as possible. They don't care about the NUMBER of cores, they care about the speed of the one or two that they actually use.

My 6950X bottlenecks my 1080s in Valley....

Open up GPUz to the sensors tab and watch the GPU utilization, and then watch the CPU utilization for the cores you have clocked. You'll see what I mean.

 

[RobCrezz]

Seriously? Ive never noticed high CPU usage in Valley. That said Ive never had SLI 1080s..

 

[Vellinious]

It was even a little bit noticeable with 970s and a 5820k. When I switched to 980tis, it was VERY noticeable, and now the 1080s...it's not even worth running. I don't even run Valley any more. HWBot doesn't take them anyway, so....eh.

 

[RobCrezz]

Yeah I guess valley needs a DX12 update and some cpu multi threading.

 

[Vellinious]

Ha, yeah...DX12 and multithreading would really make a lot of difference.

 

[kuhne]

Nice build man! Yeah those Titan Blacks are awesome. Cheers for the scores!

Thanks! Yeah, I might get a Titan XP in there, I know a i7 4770k is ancient for that card but I really don't have much of a choice due to my case and overall hardware restrictions and I really can't do a full overhaul too much, plus I like my current setup too much as it is. It will still be a significant improvement from the black.

 

[azzazel_99]

No im not CPU bittlenecking and valley isn't CPU intensive lol. It's a gpu benchmark tool not CPU. Running a 5820k at 4.8/4.9ghz? What are you smoking? It's overclocked now at 4.2 but none of my CPU cores are running over like 50% during the valley test.

 

[nikoli707]

unigine is definitely not cpu dependent.

It is, actually. And not all cores. Disable hyperthreading and all but 2 cores. Get those cores clocked up higher (you'll be able to because now you're generating a lot less heat), and then try the benchmark again. You'll score a lot higher. Watch your CPU usage during the test, and the GPU usage. With powerful GPUs, especially in SLI, the cpu usage will raise, and GPU usage drop. The higher the clock on the CPU, the higher the usage will go on the GPUs.

I've been playin this game a while.....I know what it takes to run high scores in benchmarks. Wanna score higher? Do it. /wink

Also, if you look at the screencap at the top of this page, you'll see a 5820k running at 4.7...with a couple of 970s.

 

[Vellinious]

Here.

As you can see in this graph, as CPU usage raises, GPU usage drops. And this is with just one 1080 and a 6950X @ 4.0. This with Valley running the Extreme HD preset. You put another GPU in there, and it'll get worse and worse. It was capping out CPU usage on Core 0 at 100% pretty consistently (HW Monitor).

From MSI AB's hardware monitor:

CPU usage:

GPU usage:

Doesn't get any more definitive than that. Now ya learned something. = )
