What's your Passmark Performance Test Score

Nice. Those Samsung SSDs are pretty sweet. I'm seriously thinking about picking up the 1TB EVO sometime here. :)

OK, just confirmed my theory. I opened another tab in Safari and signed into my Google Mail account. Came back to SF and now I can see the leaderboards.

CONSPIRACY?! Nah, it's just the way things are...

Nice one Wrend, I knew you were gonna hammer me mate! Top score

@ Lava King, yeah I was starting to get a feeling it was linked to being logged in to google.

I take back what i said about Paul's score taking some beating, You smashed it Wrend Nice score mate!

Thanks, Dude.

I tentatively take back what I said about it not using SLI, since I just ran the test again with SLI disabled, and I got a significantly lower score in the 62 hundreds.

It would be interesting to know your individual scores for each component Wrend.

Ryan said SLI would not work when he ran it, did you have to do anything special to get it to work?

I'll run mine again in a min just to double check but i'm pretty sure the second gpu wasn't detected

Yeah, it doesn't seem to detect my second video card with SLI enabled, but it does with SLI disabled. No weird settings or anything to get it to work on my end, that I know of at least. I have the Nvidia software auto-select which SLI mode should yield the best performance (which is the default setting for me). It just gets me a higher score with it enabled. I had read that it can make a difference in some of the tests.

It looks like alternate frame rendering 2 should yield the best results. I haven't tried that specifically yet though.

Well, I'm off for now. Might try and run it again with a higher OC before too long. We'll see.

Here's the individual score's. I definately need to tweak my memory a tad and only 1 gpu was used/seen.

Here's my new score with "Force alternate frame rendering 2" selected for the SLI rendering mode in the Nvidia Control Panel. That's the only setting I changed; still at 4.6GHz, so a fair improvement again in the score with this SLI mode, it looks like. While running the tests, I did also notice that the listed frame rates during the 3D tests were significantly higher, maybe a third higher than they were before, or so.

As I mentioned before, with SLI enabled, only one card is shown as being installed, but it does use them both for the tests (at least this has been my experience), and when SLI is disabled, it shows both cards as being installed, but the tests only use one of them. I'm guessing this is because with SLI enabled it uses both cards as if they were one, maybe.

Either way, it looks like alternate frame rendering 2 is the way to go.

Something for you guys with SLIed cards to have in mind while running these tests.

Here's my updated score with the GTX 780.

Only a slight increase, but every little bit helps.
