NEW Unigine Valley Benchmark 1.0 Scores

AMD Phenom II 965 @ Stock + GTX 650 TI @ 1006/1375 =1080

Cant run it on 1080, as this monitor doesnt go that high, so just for reference

That's all well and good. And I listed your score. But I have to ask about the GPU clocks. Because 1190GHz isn't possible and 1190MHz sounds too low for that score. I see what appears to be 1418MHz in the screenshot. Which would probably be the true boost clock, or close to it. It matters to a lot of people that you provide the true boost clock for the record. I'm flexible on the matter. I'm just asking for you to tell me what the clocks are. If you insist 1190MHz is correct, then it is. However there's the memory clock too. Or lack there of. You didn't provide it, so I went with what appears to be shown in the screenshot. It looks like 3505, which seems to be typical. So if 1190/1753 isn't correct, please let me know so I can change it.

Thanks.

Actually a 5930k @ 4.6ghz will push the Valley score up nicely. This program scales nicely with CPU overclocking. Here is my best score 7362 176FPS CPU 6700k@5003mhz GPU running at 1493mhz. I don't get benefit from my gpus running above 1493mhz

Oh I don't doubt it too much. I've noticed the same thing on my systems. I just want to be sure it's as accurate as possible. It doesn't hurt to ask.

I noticed in your last screenshot the memory clocks were accurately displayed. I'm assuming that's still the case. So I'm going to put your recent score down as 1493/1905. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
 
GPUz says 1283 Mhz maximum core clock during Valley
i did not save my custom GPU settings, so did it again, so maybe it is unrelated to previous value...

Thanks a lot!

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


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

Somewhat stabilized gpu clock, now I've read Maxwell gpuboost2.0 throttles @ 64C and yep.. Set manual fan higher to 75% and managed to get it stable 1482MHz almost through whole benchmark, only towards then end it dropped to 1470mhz when gpu reached 63-64C..

Intel 4770K @ 4.7GHz + GTX 980TI @ 1482/1935 = 4553

Edit:
Which beats GTX 1080 FE @ 107.5fps, max OC Strix got 116fps
http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/gpu_displays/nvidia_gtx1080_founders_edition_review/22


here it got only 100.5fps which is 1fps slower then my factory OC 1418mhz boost, not bad for this oldie, which was also 150€ less :)

Please help, got a dumb question. My max FPS is being locked to my monitor refresh rate (it actually goes about 10-20% above) on 1080p 144htz monitor I get max FPS of 165. On 4k 60htz monitor I get max FPS of 70. This is only happening in Valley. I must have a V-sync setting somewhere but I cant find it. I've looked in windows display settings, and in EVGA PrecisionX and Nvidia control panel, can't find it. You guys with 980TI are getting max FPS of 200+.

You are not running with V-Sync enabled. Your scores are expected for your clock speeds and CPU. Valley at 1080p hits a CPU bottle
neck. To show you what I mean, I have two cards but I disabled one in device manager and removed the SLI bridge. I also went into Nvidia control panel and made sure physx wasn't using my second card. Here are my single card scores with my overclocks and then I set my clocks to match yours. My first screen shot is me running my CPU at 5ghz and Gpu at 1493mhz Vmem at 2025ish. The second Screen shot at 4573 score is my card set to your clocks and CPU running at 4.4Ghz. Keep in mind though, I have my Motherboard/RAM timings optimized which gives me a nice boost as well and I'm running a 6700k CPU, so I'll Still be slightly higher.

@JohnnyDirect thank you for going to the trouble, it is appreciated. This is good news as now I can start tweaking my score.

I was thinking V-sync because, before I swapped back to my 1080p monitor my score was 2490 every time. Then when I switched to the 1080p monitor I forgot to go into monitor settings and set it to 144htz so it was running at 60htz and my score was again 2490. Set 1080p monitor to 144htz and score went up to 4220 and stayed the same when I went back to the 4k 60htz monitor. I don't know why I was stuck at 2490.
Will raising CPU cache help improve my score? It is currently 200mhz behind core because it takes a lot of voltage to get it running faster but I could give it more voltage for benching. Also would raising the memory multiplier help or would I be better tightening the timings? My system mem is a bit lame, not great overclocker and only 3000mhtz 15,16,16,39,2T (was one of the first DDR4 batches from Kingston)

Valley is very CPU bound, so yes...increasing your CPU core clock will help. System memory speed won't do much of anything though.
 
I threw a load of voltage at my CPU knowing it was only for a couple of Valley runs and it OC'D to 4.630, I bumped the Cache up a bit too. GPU 1470, mem 2003mhz. Getting better scores now.
The problem was I had to unplug the 4k monitor and restart my machine otherwise I would not be able to get past a score of 2490!!!! FPS barley going past 60.
 
Are these the correct pictures to get on the score chart? GPU 980ti@1470,2003. CPU 5930k @4.621.

@erixx bumb mem up, you have same GPU and CPU as me but your GPU core clocks higher, you can smash that score :)
 
mem and cpu ;) (later after work I will kindly try it Will start to lower the airco :)

The clocks in the upper right corner almost never show correctly. You'd need to read GPUz sensors tab to get a good reading. Judging by that score, I'd say you have something seriously wrong, if you're any where NEAR those clock speeds.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
 
I think he may be questioning your statement that something may be seriously wrong.
If you compare the readings with the screenshot directly above, which uses the same processor and series card, the scores are not that much different, the higher overclock on the initial screeny explains the higher scores.

800 points different and almost 20 fps.... He should easily be above 4k at 1500. He's probably either got a thermal throttle or power limit throttle going on.

Even at stock boost 2.0 clocks, should be hitting at least near 4k, if not above. The baseline I ran on mine with stock clocks was 4100 something....

Just tellin the man that he's got something wrong, and he should check GPUz to see if he can get it sorted out.
 
i5-6600K @ 4.5GHz + GTX 1080 @ 2075/5433 = 4764

*NOTE I cannot post GPU-Z as it is not detecting my card OC. No matter what I do even the slightest OC nothing registers on GPU-Z so I figure it needs an update to properly detect the new nvidia cards.

Hey @MrGenius Please change my entry. Now using an MSI GTX 980Ti. Per GPU-z it ran at 1263. No overclock done...yet.

Quite a jump up from my overclocked 980 score! 82% ASIC rating too. Not bad for end of the line chip.

Hmm, I forgot how to make a screenshot within valley! :oops: Anyone?

My new card will arrive within an hour or so, gotta test it out! :D
