UNIGINE-Valley BENCHMARK scores

[Aquinus]

I've noticed that synthetic benchmarks don't like Windows 10. Games however seem to benefit in minimum FPS. I'll take that over scores anyday.

60FPS and smooth is all I really care about to be honest. This benchmark doesn't seem to do a very good job of tracking actual minimum FPS because it drops during scene changes.

GPU clock was 1150-1156 with memory at 1552. 4790k at 4.4

The ZOTAC GTX 980 Ti AMP Extreme is a nice card; however, mine would not overclock much higher (only 55 MHz on core and nothing on memory). This is a highly overclocked card already, but it did not satisfy my want to reach higher limits.
So I purchased the EVGA GTX 980 Ti Classified. Here are the results after playing around with it a bit/\

EVGA GTX 980 Ti Classified default:
Core (boost) 1392, Memory 1752






Max OC:
Core (boost) 1512, Memory 1976

What tweaks/settings do you use? (as in do you kill unwanted processes etc)

My 980ti Kingpin at 1502Mhz core and 7500Mhz mem, with 3930k at 4.2Ghz only gets me this:

FTR - I know what I bought when I bought it and I knew I wouldn't use it to it's potential but it's nearly as fast as my previous 780ti's (at 129fps on Valley).

In both Valley and Heaven, you will find that memory overclock gives much better results. I have a fresh install of Windows 7, but I think I had Origin and Steam running. Didn't bother to kill any processes.
The strange thing is, I was able to achieve much higher memory overclocks on Valley versus Heaven. I think it is driver related though...
You have a Kingpin? I didn't even know they were released yet

I managed to run my Kingpin at 1530 Max boost and haven't tried higher than 7700 memory. 3930k at 4.2 might be the 'throttle' here. Even at these clocks I still only got about 123fps. Even with higher memory, I'll not get much higher.

I find that above 60 degrees the Kingpin suffers a bit and it is as Kingpin says, it clocks (like all Maxwell) better at much lower temps. It really is for extreme cooling, its got more things going on than Inspector Gadget.

I got mine in the first minute they were released on EVGA's website. Although I wasn't successful at first (so went for a Classy instead) I got an email that same night saying I had managed to reserve one. The servers were swamped so it was hard to get past the PayPal page without errors.
Anyhow, I did go for the 80 and 76% ASIC cards but only managed to get a 74%. Best thing is though (small victory) its 75.9%

Normal Test, GPU running at stock speed.

After a Soft Overclock, not a big deal at all.

KR0N0S---AMD FX-8350 @ 5.09GHz ---- GALAX GeForce GTX 980 HOF V2 1511 / 7860 ---- FPS: 90.1 Score: 3771
This run a little better added 110 pts. from my previous score.

MSI GTX 980 Ti Gaming LE. 1298 core / 1387 boost / 1853 memory. scored 5275
windows 10 X64. 5930k @ 4.7GHz (NOT the same system as listed in my "system specs")

your numbers in the chart seem a little inconsistent. for some nvidia cards you have the core clock listed, for others you have the max boost clock. i sorta know what's going but some of the young blood may not. i hope no one tries to overvolt their way to a "boost clock" of 1500MHz on their $500+ cards.

i don't know what the max boost on my card is but it should be around 1500MHz. but don't quote me on that.

only problem i had was running it in 1920x1080 only have a 19 inch widescreen and max res is 1440x900

Nice overclock/score metal

 

[the54thvoid]

I have to chuckle. On clocks of 1541mhz core and 8000mhz memory I only got 123fps.
My 3930k is only at 4.2 but that benchmark score is proof metalracer's a wizz at benching.

Edit: that temp will be a factor I think. My GPU temp is about 50.

probably thanks to that insane power target. increasing the PT from 109% to 114% on my GTX 980 Ti jacked up my valley score by 650.
as much as i'd like to, I don't think I'll be increasing the power target for myself anymore. I'll stay where I am....

My power target is 133%. Boost (isn't really boost under water) is a steady 1541 on my overclock (+110). No throttling, so he's got magic dat man!

GREAT SCORE!!!!!

 

[Tatty_Two]

Not at 1440 x 900, it does not count sadly.

 

[Aquinus]

After fighting with my drivers that the Windows 10 upgrade screwed up, I was getting 2800 instead of 2950. I've since used a driver cleaner and got a tentative score of ~3080 without overclocking. I'm going to run it again with and without overclocks and actually screenshot it this time.

Gentleman, you're going to love this. I went into task manager and set the priority on Valley (with it running,) to "High" and tested again with both stock and my typical overclock (1040/1500 versus 1140/1575,) and oh boy did the numbers come out nice.

Stock (1040/1500): 3207


Overclocked (1140/1575): 3408

 

[purecain]

i'll start adding these new numbers soon. cant wait for the 6700k rig scores to come in. I can see one in my future at some point... I hear it gives 10fps boost to games....something to consider for certain if your a bencher.

R9 290x at stock speeds >

New card, Galax GTX 970 HOF at stock speeds >

Galax GTX 970 HOF with 1480/1841 OC >

 

[Jborg]

So this score is 250~ish points higher with just the swap of the CPU.
Now running i5 4690k @ 4.2ghz instead of the FX8350 @ 4.5ghz

 

[Aquinus]

Just re-ran with new 15.8 beta driver. I got a small bump in performance.

 

[Vellinious]

So many different settings...hard to tell what is what. Got 1080 runs with custom settings and 1440 x 900 runs with custom settings. /boggle

Here's mine with the Extreme HD preset.
