Solved hd 6870 Unigine Heaven Post your score !

[sygnus21]

You need to slap some AA on that bad boy and crank up the AF. ... to many 1280x1024's in here with no candy.

Here's mines at Extreme..... first one 1280x1024, second, 1920x1080



I checked yours BTW - http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-...ne-heaven-post-your-score-11.html#post1449420, just to see

I see you have an Nvidia 570, I just have an ATI 6950.

I'll throw up an extreme tonight... but the 275.33's are a bit slower than the previous set. I noticed that when I installed them: my WEI went down 1 notch... but I'm not going to revert back just for WEI and a benchmark... so I'll just wait for other 570 owners to step up. Games still fly though, and there isn't one I don't run at least 4xAA on.

Ambient Occlusions is killer, but it makes games look sick. It's too bad ATI's don't have the option in the driver CP. I'll have to remember to test with all 3 settings. For all the tests I already put up it was set to quality.

To be able to more evenly compare cards, I'll also throw up settings. Without those it's difficult to compare cards. My personal preference is to go for the highest quality, so it would be interesting to see what others have theirs at given the huge impact drivers make on benches.

Thought you'd like that. Now If I had a 6970 we might have a fair fight

Anyway for comparision's sake it was suggested by me that all benchmarks be run in a resoultion of 1280x1024 so that we get a good comparision on cards.....

BTW it's kind of hard to compare scores since people are using different resolutions. I think a standard res of 1280x1024 should be used to compare scores to one another. With that....

A lot of posters did but as this thread moves on people tend to forget

As for graphic settings most users just use the standard settings so that wasn't an issue, just the resolution.

Well here's my latest scores with the new Cat 11.6 drivers. First one is 1280x1024, the second one is 1920x1080....

Hi sygnus,

Here is mine maxed out.

 

[sygnus21]

What did you do to get your 6950 flashed to the 6970?

Did you have to move the power slider to +20? And how's the fan speed and temps?

Thanks

If you got the 6970 then I'd have to step up to the 580. 6950 vs 570 is a fair fight. The 50's are very good cards... but I don't have to tell you that.

Rgr that on 1280... I'll do that... didn't catch your earlier posts.

I don't mean the test settings that matter, I mean individual driver settings in the control panel. They can sway the test radically. We need to figure out what driver settings most closely resemble each other.

6950 bios flash

Hi Sygnus, i hope this info will help. I used the bios flash utility from techpowerup, here is the link with all details for you and i have also included some temps and specs from my system for you. AMD Radeon HD 6950 to HD 6970 Mod | techPowerUp
The temps idle at just over 40c and running MSI Kombustor they have hit 92c.
The variation in the temps is down to the UD5 Motherboard, the 16 pcie slots are very close so the top card gets about 6c hotter.

Yeah I've been thinking more and more about flashing the card to a 6970 now that my new monitor has a higher res - 1920x1080.

Yeah its understandable that you didn't see mine or the other posts regarding the res as it was a few pages from the first post.

As for testing the card via the video card's control panel we can do that but then you'd have readings all over the place. Since we're just comparing, the easier and standard way would be to just just standard settings at a standard res.

That's my way thinking but........

I didn't mean test, I meant agree upon a standard list of settings... just like we're agreeing on resolution.

For example, if I have my drivers set to performance, then I'm going to be faster than someone else who has theirs set on quality, even if we have the same everything.

If you're using driver optimizations for textures and filtering, then someone who's not, like me, isn't going to be able to put up the same numbers... without some form of agreement on driver settings, independent of Unigine, the test is skewed.

For example, there is no ATI setting for Ambient Occlusions. Nvidia has 3 settings. There's a performance hit almost as great as 2xAA if enabled. Likewise for texture and filter optimizations, although the hit isn't as great... but still... it's a hit.

We need a baseline.

 

[Fumz]

Ok sygnus... lol, I'm officially sick of looking at this benchmark. Drivers reverted back to default.


.

 

[Maccman]

This bench is nothing to brag about. No, I've not updated to the latest driver, but I doubt that would help. What would?

I tested my gts450 on the settings as you and got a score of 504. To slightly improve the score you could crank up your clock settings but in real game play life is adjusting the settings going to make much difference? I personally would say no.

Thanks for the info max,

I already have the files from TechPowerUp, I've just been hesitant to do the flash because I don't I'm worried about the extra noise and temps it may bring, especially if I have to play with the power tune settings, which I don't really want to have to do.

I notice a lot of people flash the card, than overclock from there; I just want to flash the card and leave it as is - not overclock after the flash.

I do a bit more research and make a decision soon.

Thanks

Well, just know you have a darn good card that can handle anything out now

On the other hand I'm the one looking to flash my card so......

When you do, I'll be right here waiting to go another round. Flashing vs Precision Tools sounds like another fair fight to me.

LOL - Yeah your 570 will like WTF, he's wearing his big brother's shoes :shock:



Anyway I'll post results if I do it, though I don't intend to overclock the card, just flash it.

Later.

 

[Fumz]

I was able to clock the card to 850MHz core, but decided to stick with the defaults because I didn't see games getting faster; they were already fast enough at the settings I like.

However, if given the proper motivation...

 

[sygnus21]

We'll see. As I said I’m kind of hesitant to flash mines as I like where it's at right now - noise, temps, performance wise. However curiosity is starting to get the better of me now

 

[Fumz]

I know... I was real tempted to flash my 5850, and I still might, one day, but man if it doesn't go right, or if I happen to have one of those cards that isn't up to it... Scary stuff.

You are welcome Sygnus, I have all so read you can just change the shaders to the 6970and leave the voltages and clock speed standard 6950.
Those settings on mine are all standard 6970 with no overclocks and that is what i have done most of my benching on, i have found it is just the new drivers that have made the differnce and overclocking them makes little change to the fps.
And all so i have found that there is not much change in the temps or increased noise. The only time the cards become realy noisy is when you run the benches and push the cards to there max, but other than that they are fine.
I play shift 2 on mine and the max temp was about 70c and fan speed went to about 50%.
I just have to make a few alterations to my case cooling to get more air to that top card, other than that i have had the cards for a while now and have had no problems.

 

[Solarstarshines]

I have yet to post my results cause i am baffled that my card scored really high the first test

Now each test after that goes down little by little it is kinda frustrating to see this

I am working on it though and when i am satisfied enough i will produce something for you guys
