Benchmarking a Macbook Pro 9,1

i7-3720QM @ 2.60 Ghz (45W)
NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M @ 1039 MHz core / 2600 MHz memory / 1GB (30W)
16GB DDR3 1600 MHz RAM

I ran two benchmarks, Extreme HD, and Extreme HD (no AA).
Obviously, the bottleneck is the 384 core GPU. It is heavily overclocked and has 1GB of fast GDDR5.

I noticed the benchmark reports my core clock at 774 MHz but it is an error. I monitored my clocks with MSI afterburner and Nvidia Inspector. I also turned off Boost clocks and kept a fixed clock speed.

Extreme HD:

I noticed with 8x AA, My 1GB of memory was used up very quickly. I was aware of that before I purchased this machine. I usually never use AA except on older games anyways.
The card also peaked at 89C which is rather warm but it does not throttle.

Continuing....

Extreme HD (No AA):

Not too much of an improvement...

This time at 1080P with no AA, memory usage never hits 1GB.

Edit: Overclocked my FX-6300 to 4.0 GHz this afternoon and saw a 300 point score jump. Color me happy! 😀

Highest res I can do, still it goes to show my i5-750 can still help produce the same framerates as others using a 22" monitor

Stock voltage, if I clock more I'm starting to run into artifacts 🙂
 
So I sold off my Titans and got two 780 Classifieds along with pocketing $350. Here is my old bench with one of my Titans for a single card.

Titan 1228/7200 clocks

780 Classified 1359/7200 clocks

()🙂 My Titan was pushed to the limit as well for that bench. Would crash in games at those settings, whereas this Classified is stable in everything at these clocks. There is more under the hood too I believe considering as I have not even cranked voltage fully. It could probably do 1400+ if I gave it more volts.

One of my cards went faulty, once I get the replacement I will update with SLI comparison. Assuming it clocks like this one does, there is no difference between my Titans and these apart from price.

You're going through cards like water. Going from Titan to any 780, even if it clocks high, is kinda silly. Whatever makes you happy though.

I have three Titans, clocked low, stock cooling, don't have to worry about lockups or any sort of crashes. Far less hassle with more performance.

Most of the fun for me is overclocking them and just playing with the setup of it. Honestly at this point I enjoy buying the cards, setting up my loop and seeing how high I can overclock them more than anything else. It's a lot of the fun and the Titans weren't much fun to overclock, but these classified cards sure are.

I pretty much only play Battlefield 3 regularly these days for gaming and any new good titles that come out for a single play through. I could probably get by on a single card if I just gamed period and didn't care about just buying hardware for the fun it.

I literally have the same performance and expected that going in, but it was fun to get these cards because you can tinker a lot more with them than you could the Titans. Plus it didn't cost me anything after selling the Titans to do the switch, even came out a little ahead. If the new AMD cards coming are faster than the Titan I'll no doubt sell these and try two of those as well 😀

Well, there are far worse things you could spend your money on G. I had xfire 7970 Matrix cards earlier in the year but regressed to my 7950s now b/c they are more gratifying to me. Enjoy your new cards! 🙂
 
Face2Face it would be fun if you could put a score list up on your initial post like Futurefields did with the Heaven 4.0 thread. :awe:
