NEW Unigine Valley Benchmark 1.0 Scores

[BiggieShady]

The thing is I don't know much about exactly how boost works. I've never owned a boost card.

Thing with boost is that boost clock reported on the first tab of gpuz is minimum guaranteed factory bios dynamic clock in worst case scenario (80 C temps on gpu)
As people change frequency tables in gpu bios and also boost settings in driver at the same time and have different thermal solutions, IMO it only makes sense to compare the real clocks recorded in the sensor tab.

I'm just a poor fool trying to keep a thread straight. Dodging bullets as I go. To the best of my ability. Who knew this was going to be so hellish? Not I.

You are doing a good job. (If we exclude understandable mistaking a case of "internet friendliness" for being attacked voraciously by a stranger from another side of the planet)

You and I have the same memory. Are you running the XMP profile in the BIOS/UEFI; along with enhanced performance for memory? If you bump up your CPU and memory speeds, you'll get into the 7000's. I get a nice boost with CPU/Memory increase.

Johnny,
I am running the xmp profile in Bios but not sure what you mean about the enhanced performance for memory part. Are you talking about increasing Mem clock on the gpus?

 

[MrGenius]

Look at his old score. Look at his new score. Look at your scores. Do the math.

 

[TheHunter]

I've taken the lead although that 4.8ghz failed later in 3dmark11 physics test lol


Intel 4770K @ 4.8GHz + Zotac Omega GTX 980TI @ 1478/1925 = 4504

In my bios Gigabyte Z170 Gaming 7, I am able to adjust my FCLK freqs. It defaults to 800mhz but I bump it up to where it should be, 1000mhz. I also have a setting "Memory enhancement setting" with options: Auto/Normal/enhanced stability/enhanced performance. I have that set to enhanced performance. I'm sure you have similar ability in your UEFI/BIOS; you just need to look around. These settings along with increased CPU clocks give me a nice bump in Unigine's Valley. You have CPU water cooling, so with increased CPU Clocks and voltage, along with spooling your GPU fans up to push your GPU Core and GPU memory a bit higher, you should be real close to my system scores. We have essentially the same system. I might be able to push a bit harder because my GPUs are water cooled and stay below 40c. Spool up your fans to max instead of auto for the run and you might beat me. I'd be surprised if you don't get past a score of 7000.

Thanks man, I'll take your advice and see if I can get a better score. I think the wc gpus definitely give an advantage but otherwise pretty similar systems. My next build I want to dive into custom watercooling. Nice setup you have with the custom loops.

[MrGenius]

No clocks + no FULL screenshot(as per the rules) = no score on the list

Nice score though.

 

[erixx]

Added my clocks. But it is a full screenshot so don-t know what you mean...

Thanks. GPU is stock, and CPU is a mess to OC, so there is room but no room for me for now haha

 

[MrGenius]

Added my clocks. But it is a full screenshot so don-t know what you mean...

FULL as in showing the info in the upper right corner(as per the rules).

8.) Must Be a Full Screenshot from within Valley with the sound tab and upper right corner info showing to be valid (See bottom of post)

Settings tab : FPS Counter √ GPU Monitor √

 

[jaggerwild]

I hit the print button then open paint then paste it in there then name it n save it

 

[erixx]

ok, never activated that fps counter before, lol.
Thanks for caring!

Only works for Valley, not Heaven. Must be some weird format it doesn't like.
I downloaded and use Irfanview to convert.

I cant find the spot F12 saved the screen shot to

This PC > (C: ) > Users > User Name > Valley > screenshots

(C: ) = the drive Windows 10 is installed on. So it could be a different drive letter.

Here's a tip: In the Valley > screenshots folder, right click on the screenshot file. Then scroll down to Open with > Paint and left click. Then in the upper left corner left click File. Scroll down to Save as > JPEG picture and left click. Take note of where the file is going to be saved in the window you've opened. Then left click Save. This will yield a very good quality screenshot file that can be uploaded and inserted into your post with no extra steps involved.

I will have to see a full screenshot from within Valley to list your score. It's a rule.

@MrGenius thank you, with your help I found it.

Here ya go

Intel 4790K @4.8ghz / AMD 290x 1205-1600 / AMD 290 1090-1590 / Score 5104/ fullinfusion

 

[MrGenius]

There's my proof for rule #7 too.^^^ Thank you so much for that @fullinfusion. To all that doubted me...STICK THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT!!! I WAS RIGHT AFTER ALL!!! SEE...I TOLD YOU IT WOULD WORK OUT THAT WAY!!!

Yeah after pointing where I'd find it there she was, heck I always press F12 but never knew where to look.

I had a bunch of screen shots from the past in there too lol...
But yup simple as could be. Thanks again, I learned something new today

 

[MrGenius]

Me too. What I learned was that sometimes x2 means 2 cards are running/enabled, EVEN IF info for both cards aren't shown in the upper right corner. Which a few people have argued with me about. Because sometimes it still says x2 even with one card disabled. They said it ALWAYS shows info for 2 cards in the upper right corner when 2 cards are running/enabled. And that x2 doesn't mean both cards are actually running/enabled. They said it needs to say x2 AND have the info for both cards in the upper right corner to count as Multi GPU. Obviously NOT. Sometimes it says x2 and IT DOESN'T show info for both cards in the upper right corner with both cards running/enabled. So I made the rule saying x2/x3/x4 is ALWAYS considered Multi GPU. Just in case something like that ever happened(I didn't know for sure it ever would until now). And I was right to make the rule. The main reason, as it turns out, for making the rule being because if you don't want it to show x2, then all you have to do is unplug the power cables from one card. But if you're running 2 cards and the info doesn't show both cards in the upper right corner there's no way to fix it so it does. And I knew that would be the case if it ever happened(well I actually never really thought about it, but I would have known if I did). What I did know was that the rule would make sense eventually. And it did/does. So I stood my ground on it, and left it in place.

I'm just so glad to finally have the proof of it. Now they can STFU. I don't have to prove anything anymore. indeed!!!

Yeah I hear what your saying, I just did a run with one card disabled in the CCC and the run showed as having 2 cards or x2 cards but the score clearly shows only one card was run.

When I had two identical MSI reference 7970's in cross fire Id never see it in the upper right corner It only show the top slot card.... the only thing it showed was the correct temperature unlike the R series and the crazy 107999 temperature lol

Here is just one card active

Oh and @W1zzard image uploader isn't working right now
