Post your 3D Mark Firestrike scores

Thanks mate. i tried for several runs to raise my Heaven 4.0 tonight, kept tying my best run I did manage a bump here. Steve is right, I'm a benchmark junkie

Good job, Dude. Well done. Yes, I know, you just can't help yourself. I have a very good friend who is a benchmark Junkie, so I can recognize one right away. I enjoy the tests too, but this is the best rig I've ever had and I don't want to push it to the limit and ruin something. But, I do enjoy the fun. Nothing I like better than to beat Paul or Solar. It's like waving a red flag in front of a bull.

I just noticed the -maybe 2 soon in your specs. You do have a great rig, but two 780 Classifieds will be a benchmarkers dream. I do have fun running them, but I enjoy watching the amazing scores all you guys get

True, Dude. The only problem is I can't find a reason I need to spend another $600 to score higher on a benchmark. That's the practical side of me. The enthusiast side says heck yea, get 2 more. So far the practical side is winning, mostly. I already have more than I will ever really need. But, I do have that illness we always talk about, but I'm fighting it. You have a great rig and have done great with it. I'm sure it will do anything you want it to, with the possible exception of being #1 on the leaderboards. But really, how much money is that worth?

Well, I do take pride in this leaderboard

Seriously though I'm in the same frame of mind. I would love to have a 780 but that's a lot of money. I can do anything I need to with this build, but getting Paul on a leader board is fun

If the enthusiast in you say's 2 more and the practical side say's no then I think a compromise is in order

Updated Doug.

Heaven is a real pig to try and increase your score once you are at max. I tried again the other day, and really thought I was gonna beat my score then it came up with the result and darn it, it was exactly the same score as my current best

So 1 more would be a very good compromise

Same here Paul, I had six runs all the same exact score on heaven

Dude, if you'd buy my 780 I'd just get a 780 TI. Then I'd be OK. For a little while.
