UNIGINE-Valley BENCHMARK scores

[EarthDog]

LOL, that is the worst vdroop I have ever seen. Wow.

Looks like someone needs to update their signature specs (which are in system specs anyway, why twice?!) and system specs.

 

[HammerON]

Keep the scores coming folks

GPU Mhz slider in Trixx as far as it will go. 13.11 Beta 6 driver.

CPU @ 4.6ghz.

This one's not for scoring, just a competitive curiosity.

GTX Titan at a very modest 1006 core 1625 memory at stock 1.15v. GPU-z reads 1019 but MSI AB reads 1006. CPU at 4.4Ghz.

Temps under water were 37 degrees at peak (which is 7 degrees cooler than when I benched at 1202Mhz @ 1.225v modded bios + voltage soft mod).

Slightly Off Topic but in the same ball park - just read through the Hexus review and matched the speeds they got on uber mode with a constant 1126 core speed. They managed a grpahics core in 3DMark (2013) of 5869. I did a run at 1127 and only managed to score 5563. So a good idea there on clock for clock parameters.

We need water blocks on those 290X's people - come on, get it done

What tweaks in CCC are allowed in the benchmarks aside from forcing 64x Tessellation?

Not sure which of these scores would be accepted, I did the AF Override because OCN uses these presets and not sure if TPU ones would accept.

Valley benchmark...

lets see who has the best silicon.

PLEASE_run your system at the settings below... ~~~~~~~~~~CAN EVERYONE KEEP THEIR SETTINGS IN CONTROL CENTER ON HIGHEST AVAILABLE THANKYOU~~~~~~~~~~~

Basically meaning, no tweaks.

So stock except for tess then?

It's a benchmark thread so people will find ways to get maximum scores. The OP hasn't stated no CCC tesselation tweaks as such. Can you confirm if your clocks are stable at those frequencies?

EDIT: damn, too slow.

If so it seems Valley likes Nvidia and 3DMark likes AMD.

Their stable for me, gets kind of hot up to 88 but valley runs fine and firestrike. I did firestrike last night, gonna run one before I leave to work on the new Betav7 drivers.

BF3 doesn't even push it at all, I was gaming the other night at 1050/1400 and it only reached 77c at max on 1080p ultra 8xAA

I'm still an little confused as to what I should be settings for Valley to not cheat my score. @Purecain could you update original post with an picture or detailed listing for the App settings to use on AMD cards?

 

[purecain]

you can use tweaks np.... but I cant add those scores to the leaderboard...

good scores everyone... if things don't add up im sure we can all take a quick pic of our systems with cpu-z gpu-z all on the same prntscrn.....

good luck

edit keep settings on stock or higher settings which increase IO to decrease IO would be cheating TY....

tuning the rest of your system is fine... overclocking your gpu is fine...

leave everything in ccc on stock settings for your card... apart from volts and oc'ing....no optimisations...

 

[erocker]

No?

after reading wizz's review on the new maximus board ive scratched an itch....

 

[Paulenski]

I left everything on stock AMD CCC settings, acceptable?

I get black screens with only mouse visible using printscreen(button), I merged the Valley screenshot with the desktop one.

i7 3770k @ 44x Turbo
R9 290X 1118 GPU / 1500 Mem @ 1.412 (vdroop is terrible, 1.273-281 under load)

Haha nice man, I'm picking up an H100 this week and ordering Prolimatech MK-26 for the 290x tomorrow and pretty sure I'm gonna grab their Ultra Sleek Vortex 14's with it too.

 

[purecain]

yeah those settings are fine...

maybe waiting for a new hsf other than the prolimatech as it wasn't originally designed for the r9 290x...good luck with your choices though.

 

[radrok]

Have you tried the Asus bios with load line calibration?

Did Shamino release more bios'?

There have been multiple reports from Arctic(emails from customer support) confirming that 7970 Accelero products fit thew 290X with no modifications, which in turn means the MK-26 will work too.

Found this article confirming it

TPUs bench competition starts soon, hope to see some names on the stages

Spent all yesterday playing with a new bios
1410mv [actual <1.299 max]
Default Timings
Throttling (TDP + Voltage)
Vdroop ON
Restricted Power Limit.

Today been testing this bios
Voltage unlocked
Throttling disabled (Voltage + TDP?)
Vdroop ON
Quasi-Unrestricted Power Limit

Now I'm gonna put the kettle on then flash this bios. Have a play for a couple of hours then I'm off up to Scotland for a week.

Voltage unlocked (stay <1.4v & <94C to be safe)
Throttling disabled
LLC modded
Vdroop OFF
Unrestricted Power Limit
Voltage & Current Protection Removed

 

[rangerone766]

2600k@5.12ghz, 16gigs ddr3@1874mhz, GTX470 920mhz core, memory@1004mhz, shaders@1840

Not to bad for an older GPU. I do think it is time for a new vid card though. Maybe I will buy myself a nice Christmas present this year.

 

[DonnyKing]

The wife just phoned me to tell me my R9 290x has arrived. Can't wait to get home and put it through it's paces. Will post scores soon.

 

[DonnyKing]

This with normal bios.
R9 290X 1120/1400


petedread just sent me the TP.3 bios, will post new scores when I've flashed. Wont be much better though because I'm not going to be fully water cooled. petedread has a H70 I can have and is going to fit it for me (GPU mod) on Wednesday. Memory and VRM's will have a fan blowing on them (and some little aluminium heat sinks).

 

[petedread]

@donnyking. Use the pt1 or pt2 untill you get some proper water cooling. I didnt bother with pt3 in the end, I was to tiered, I will use it when I get back though. Did you get a chance to pop into ScrewFix?
