Show us your Unigine Heaven benchmark scores!

Hey bungee, great score, I am curious though, how come it's showing the preset as "custom" and not "extreme" like we had before and how it shows in Dorado's screenshots above?

Hey, Thanks Paul!
It shows custom because the presets only run in windowed mode, and Cossfire only works in fullscreen mode.
So I set it up manually to use the exact same settings than the extreme preset but in fullscreen mode,
I had to write to Unigine to understand why I was getting such low scores with my previous CF rig in their extreme preset. It was them that told me to run the benchmark in fullscreen for CF to work.
Cheers,

I think I figured it out, you have to run it at fullscreen to have crossfire work, the fact that you have the same native monitor resolution as the resolution used in the extreme preset threw me for a min.

Paul.


Edit: Doh you beat me to it lol.

Your 2 cards kill a 7970 big time, you have a very powerful rig now Juan

I'm very happy with the rig and enjoying it a lot!
My only concern is that the cards reach 80C sometimes.
What are the temps on yours when OC'ed?

I was checking Tommy's post with his two 7970's to have a point of reference.
Only about 100pts and 10FPS difference with the OC on my cards. Not bad!

Not bad at all!

My temps are always cool, even when overclocked, during heaven my temps max out at around 60C, I think the highest I have seen it get is 64C, but the Vapor X does have a good cooler on it.

My Sapphires (the 7850's) ran very cool too, around 63C, but they weren't VaporX, only dual X.
These Asus DirectCu II cards are supposedly cool too. Maybe there's something wrong with the way I have them set up?
Do you happen to know what the max safe temp is for these radeon cards?
Haven't been able to find that much info on-line.

To be honest I really don't know.

I do know that the 600 series Nvidias throttle down at 70C, so I hope the AMD 7000 series is not the same.

I will have a look around and see if I can find any info.

Thanks Paul.
I didn't search in depth yet, I only had a couple of quick lookaraounds and didn't find much info that sounded reliable.
I'll delve deeper when I have some time to spare.
Now I gotta go or else the GF is going to kill me!
See you around Paul.

You are right, there is pretty much no information what so ever on the safe maximum temps or limits on the 7000 series anywhere, I could not find anything.

OK you don't want to get in trouble with the GF, I know how bad that can be lol.

Speak soon.
