Unigine Valley 1.0 Benchmark Thread ** Post your scores**

I coaxed a little more out of her.

2 cards - 1350/1650 and 1310/1650


3 cards - 1300/1650 x 2 and 1275/1650


I'll fine tune three cards in the next couple days and see if I can eek any more out. Power draw from the wall peaked at 1250W. 😱 I'll have to rig up another PSU if I want to try with four cards.
 
Nice scores... 🙂 :thumbsup:

Edit: just out of curiosity, what is your CPU clocked at?

Thanks.

My initial runs were at 4.6Ghz with HT enabled. I have a mediocre chip that needs 1.52V to hit 4.9GHz with HT off which is what I used for the last runs. I think Crossfire would scale better if I could get some more clockspeed out of my processor, especially for three and four cards.
 
I don't think your GPU was running at those speeds. If so, your score would be higher. If you look at Stahlhart's pics he is showing higher clocks on valley but it's not correct. You may want to ask him how to find the correct clock speeds - It should report correctly in GPU-Z
Derp, you're absolutely correct. It was reported incorrectly by the benchmark.
Checked it with nvidia inspector and the speed was 1215MHz.
 
I got a very sad average FPS of 5.1 on a Dell XPS 15 laptop with NVidia 540M graphics.

I'm surprised that my laptop didn't overheat and crash while running this! The temperature gauge got up to 80 degrees C.

I'm throwing down the gauntlet... who can score worse than that? Just remember that I can run this again with the Intel integrated graphics if I have to 🙂

You may want to double check your clocks - You score would be much higher with those clocks. Valley does not report clocks correctly on GTX 6 series.

Post a screen shot @ 1080 extreme settings and I will add you 😀

4870 in a DX11 Benchmark.... 😕
Just for a comparison, obviously it can't have been running the full DX11 path. I'm not sure whether it was running in DX9 or DX10 as the benchmark just ran, no errors or popups saying my card couldn't run DX11. And that's an actual screen shot of the final result which for some reason says Direct3D11. I'm as bemused as you are.

But it can still be used as a comparison between new cards and the ye olde ones of yesteryear. I even tried it on my ancient laptop with ati mobility x600 graphics but that got as far as displaying frame 1 with massively distorted colours and then crashing. 😉

😀 I will put it on there for S&Giggles
 
I ran it on a friend's PC (i5 2500K and my old HD5850@765/1125) on Windows XP. It completed the ExtremeHD preset just fine with a score of 965.

EDIT: Don't ask 😛 He only plays CS:S and CS:GO.

EDIT: Sorry guys -I had to end the Gift card drawing for the time being.

I have another prize to give out instead. This thread will be updated next week with the prize. Thanks!

Yes, it bottlenecks a single card too :|

Took me an hour to get the drivers to take CF in the x8 slots, ended up reinstalling the drivers and msi AB.

I should get a second entry into the drawing >.<

Maybe you should :hmm:

You will need to definitely run this benchmark again when you get your haswell.

Seriously. Are we doing this? 1.0 FPS on my Fujitsu Xi3670 with P8700 and nvidia GT130M graphics on its full HD screen at 600/800. Painful to watch..


 
1200/1625 MHz @ 1.125 V
The results page mentions Intel but that is a lie. If I turn on the integrated I get a little bit better results, but that summary page does not change.
