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

[KyleGates]

Well, here's my PATHETIC score.

Still not sure whats wrong but pretty certain I should score highers than this. With two 780s Oh well

If that's all stock then its not entirely pathetic as you say. Given your score can massively be improved upon should you investigate further your current score is more an opportunity than a failure..

Bastardlips! You just knocked me from 3rd place D: . Nice score btw :thumbsup:

Thanks...

Yeah, I think he has something amiss driver wise going on above. Notice the odd GPU Model information his shows. Might want to try uninstalling all nVidia driver/software, maybe even running driver sweeper and reinstall. It's not horribly low, but it's definitely off a bit of what it should be, my 680 Lightnings are nipping at his heels.

Well that's a nice way of putting it!! Thx. I am at stock clocks (save for the cards which are at whatever the EVGA SC settings are), but still can't even come CLOSE to 5k.


Ive tried so many things though and it rly seems I should be higher.

Some of what I have tried

Tried different Memory (GSkill 4x4, GSkill 2x8)
Tried different drivers (with complete uninstall of old one)
Removed the Logmein-mirror driver driver fer fun
Removed the sound card
Brand new PSU
Ran with EVGA Precision, Ran without it


Asus z87 Expert
4770
2x8GB Gskill DDR3 1600
Two EVGA 780's ACX
1250w XFX PSU
Fresh Win 7 64bit



I Dont wanna hijack the thread so I'm gonna start a new one....If ya wanna help me out SWEET, if not, at least point and laugh so I know you care....

Still no add

This is the Unigine Valley 1.0 Benchmark Thread...

Speaking of, I realized I had FXAA enabled globally in my driver control panel, so I reset my driver to default values and got a couple more fps:

3450 with clocks @ 1280/6500

I know its a valley thread, and i have contributed. Infact im nr1 single 7970 on here.

Squeek.

Squeek.

You got some serious tweaking to do.

 

[guskline]

Updated score with custom water cooled 3930k and GTX680

 

[CuriousMike]

i5-2500k @ 4.2
7950 @ 1040/1550

i5-2500k @ 4.2

Come on 4.2GHz and 1040/1550??? Try atleast! :twisted:

I want to apologize if you found my post rude or degrading, or something like that... I was only encouraging you to do better!

 

[Face2Face]

Yo face2face

Very nice :thumbsup:

I ran mine with the two 7950's and managed to beat 780's in SLI and a quad 690 setup..... yeah.. I would like to think my cards are faster... but it's just not true.

Makes me question the accuracy of this benchmark :hmm:

 

[Face2Face]

Alright everyone, we are back online and the link is working great. I will be updating the scores right now. Thanks for your patience and thank you to the Anandtech Admins :thumbsup:

Also

No cheating OR Tweaking drivers, tesselation, OS or optimizations in control panel.

If you have submitted scores with any of the tweaks mentioned above please resubmit your scores. Let's keep this fair.

Perhaps he's like me and only benches at stable clock speeds. I find little point in benchmarking at speeds that are entirely unusable.

 

[KingFatty]

But raises the question as to why such low frequencies are at the limit of stability? I think the average overclocks easily demonstrate stability at higher frequencies? At least that's the point I think he was making?

I'm about to embark on overclocking my HIS IceQ 7950 and will report my results shortly.

 

[CuriousMike]

So, inspired by Ranger, I set my CPU voltage up a bit and went to 4.6.
I could only get the GPU to 1075/1550.
Upping the GPU beyond 1075 and the machine would freeze.
I did not add more volts to the GPU.

I netted an additional 1 fps ( 42.7 ) with those mods - didn't seem like it was worth the extra power.

I would say Valley responds more to GPU increases than CPU. 1075 is a good OC on stock volts with a 7950.

I like to think that these 79xx series cards are like your 2500k in that they have alot of OC potential. A bit extra voltage, under the right monitoring and conditions, can yield pretty outstanding results.

You are correct. However, Valley actually will scale noticeably with cpu clock speeds unlike Heaven which doesn't really seem to care if you're running 3.8GHz or 5GHz....same score.

Ran the benchmark again with the new 331.40 driver. I was able to get my memory up to 6700 after switching the better, and cooler running, 760 to the top slot and slightly lowering my core clock. Highest power draw according to the Killawatt P3 was 438w.

1280-1267/1675(6700)

Broke 3500 this time (squeak). If I could get a run through @ 1293/1280 I may be able to catch Grooveriding's insanely overclocked 780. I'm happy right here though.

I agree. I took my first stab at custom cooling this weekend and Thank Goodness I've got it running. My 3930k at 4.3Ghz dropped over 15 degrees minimum from when I had it cooled by a ThermalTake Water2.0 Extreme( at 4.3Ghz @71 C down to @ 54C). The biggest drop was my GTX680. At stock on idle 31C and maxed out at stock core 39C. If I OC hard perhaps 42C!

I'm not going to do a "Kamakazi" Valley run just to beat a score.
