Unigine Heaven 4.0 Benchmark Scores

[MrGenius]

A "clean run" with no arties isn't in the rules. So I don't expect anybody to be following that unwritten rule. And it's not really provable either. To be honest, my score would be lower, if I were to count artifacts as a disqualifying factor. My card starts throwing fireworks all over the screen at 1200MHz core and above by the end of the benchmark(last 5 or so scenes). Could be due to software overclocking above my BIOS base of 1175MHz, that I use for gaming. I haven't messed with fixing that via the BIOS too much yet(or at all actually). Since I hadn't actually heard of that working for higher stable OCing, until I heard you saying it recently. Anyways, I have never seen an artifact show up in any of my post-bench screenshots. So I don't suspect they ever do. Hence the not really provable comment.

Processor was running at 4.5ghz.

I can't seem to get a stable OC on that GPU, and the CPU needs a good voltage bump.

So not sure if I should edit the old post or post a new one, but tweaked with only the fan settings for now and seriously improved.

i7 2600K @ 4.5Ghz w/ 8GB 1600Mhz DDR3, GTX 970 @ 1520/2000Mhz

I don't know about how weird that is. With only one other 7850 to compare it to, with much lower clocks.

EDIT: WTF? Where did I get 7850 from? That's strange. Couldn't possibly be a 7850 with 3GB VRAM. DOH! My bad. Scratch that then.

But I'll tell you one thing FOR SURE, it's NOWHERE NEAR as weird as a 7950 @ 1206/1668 scoring 1397!!! Which I've just now discovered while trying to reference your score(how the hell I missed that until now I have no clue). And boy does that PISS ME OFF!!! As a matter of fact, I formally protest, and I'm going to throw a MAJOR fit if that's not removed from the list.

That is so fucking far from possible it's not even funny...AT ALL!!!

Now do what's right @FX-GMC and remove it from the list ASAP!!! Or you'll not be hearing the last of this from me!!! How did those bullshit ass screenshots he provided even qualify to begin with? @Schmuckley you've been called out!!! So fess up to your scammery and delete that post. Play by the rules or GTFO!!! You gained 387 points over the next highest 7950 @ 1180/1675 with ice water and +26MHz on the core and -7MHz on the memory? YEAH FUCKING RIGHT DUDE! More like ice water in your bong! BTW, it's sure an odd coincidence your screenshots don't show temps to prove that either(when there's ABSOLUTELY no reason why they shouldn't). Lower temps WILL NOT help you that much(if at all). "Looky here folks...I turned my 7950 into a GTX 970 by installing a water cooler on it". BITCH PLEASE!!! AS FUCKING IF!!! God damn...I bet you thought you were going to get away with that shit too huh? Shame on you!!!

Address me in that tone again and you won't have a score up on the board to worry about.
Why are you so uptight about a damn score anyway? Wouldn't it have been easier to just call out the score and say you don't believe it to be valid? (That's rhetorical and the answer is yes.)

Now, the list has been updated.

Got it. Point taken. Won't happen again. Wasn't meant to rub you the wrong way.

I get a little(MASSIVE understatement) out of control sometimes. And I'm truly sorry about that. I'm a loser. And I know it.

I guess it bent me out of shape so bad because it was so flagrantly incorrect. This is such a fun game, it just really sucks when somebody cheats like that. Not a good excuse to freak out like that though.

Anyway, somebody please kill me. Haven't I done enough damage already? Now I've got to live with even more shame, guilt, and embarrassment.

Wait, where's what's-his-name anyhow? This is all his fault truthfully. I wasn't totally in the wrong here. Whereas he most certainly was. Look what you made me go and do. Are you proud of yourself?

I just want a civil conversation. I regretfully don't get to check this as much as I used to and seeing a post like that doesn't make this game fun. I don't vet the scores past checking the settings and trying to get the best clock information I can find (unigine screenshot, GPU-Z, System Specs). The community does a good job of keeping everything else in check.

Let's just forget it happened and carry on.

Hope this counts

Sorry for posting again so quickly. Just wanted to push the score a little higher so I could be in the top 3 970s.

i7 2600k @ 4.5Ghz, 970 @ 1546/2070Mhz

 

[Steevo]

New entry for me.

 

[tsouders]

This is my very first post in this thread so apologies if I do anything wrong.

970s in SLI (MSI 100ME/EVGA SSC 2.0 ACX+)
i5-4690K @ 4.4 (Heaven doesn't seem to know that though)
GPU clocks: 1458/1453
MEM clocks: 1971/1889

Need your memory clock speed.
It'd be nice to have the entire heaven screen in the shot, so that it shows the GPU's as well as temp, and clock speeds.

Ah, OK. Should I repost, or reply to my own?

 

[jordan1794]

It hasn't been long, could just edit your first post

Done! Thanks much.

 

[jordan1794]

Done! Thanks much.

Nice score!
And AMAZING core clock speed 1655!?, you running a modded BIOS or something?

 

[tsouders]

Thanks! I wish I was so tricky...I think I just got really lucky with the overclock!

I'm quite honestly baffled as to how you got there!
I can't find any other 970's really even breaking 1600 without a BIOS mod.
Even my 980 WITH a BIOS mod (albeit, no voltage changes) I can only hit around 1550-1580.
Your card manufacturer must have a higher max voltage set in the BIOS, you gotta be pushing at least 1.26-1.275 v to get 1650.

I'll run again and snap a photo of GPU-Z. I do some max voltage tinkering in Afterburner, and I also get really aggressive with the fans -- my case is pretty cavernous so the wind doesn't bother me much. Hottest card got around 71-73 I think.

So, I ran again, and was getting this in Heaven:

At the same moment, these were the readings on my cards (your guess wasn't far off for voltage) -- but the clock rates read quite lower:

Ah, I thought that might happen.
Your offset is so high that your cards are capping and throttling before they event get close to 1600.
You could probably get higher score if you lowered the clock speed. Also, I believe two cards in SLI will only run as fast as the slowest card, so you should set them to the same settings.
Try setting an offset around 150 MHz lower than you current one to start.

Which offset should I lower by 150? The clock speed? The Afterburner increase I've put on them is only around 200. Are you saying drop it to 50ish and see what happens?

Yeah, the core.
Memory speed is good, you honestly might be able to go even higher, most of the 970's and 980's can hit 8 GHz no problem.
Might want to consider flashing one card or the other to the BIOS of the other one, so it could be simpler to overclock.
Regardless, you've got a great set-up and probably shouldn't worry too much about overclocking it, the SLI cards being different makes it more complicated than what I'd be willing to mess with.

Yeah, I really just wanted to play around with Heaven just to see how the second OC'd...and being my first SLI setup, I of course wanted to see the payoff, haha. I'll probably knock down the core clock a bit and just roll with it as is, like you said. Given the price I paid for the second one, I think I've gotten my money's worth at this point anyway. Thanks for your feedback!
