Solved hd 6870 Unigine Heaven Post your score !

That's pretty much been the case with every benchmark I've ever done unless I make a change to the hardware, like clocking up. It's all downhill after that first one, lol... but that's ok, I think everyone here has run enough to realize what's going on; besides, it's not like the scores are dropping that much, are they?

 

[Solarstarshines]

they kinda are it has droped a good 12 points

It should't matter as long as my games play stutter free and also im not using a 6900 series so im not expecting it to be near but the first test rendered me 134.1 frames now it has gone to 119.1

Even restart nothing running im baffled

 

[Fumz]

pfff... lol. 12 points is insignificant to the point of being meaningless. By the way you were talking I though the drop was a few hundred points... which you can manipulate just through driver settings.

Set your drivers to performance. I'm sure you'll get it all back, and then some.

 

[Solarstarshines]

yeah i been messing around with the settings seeing if i can get it back otherwise i can go back to the 11.5

Also i figure with new drivers every two months i would think the benchmarking program would need some newer updates too ,or i could be talking out my you know what ...


But im wondering is there a newer version of the benchmark available ?

 

[Fumz]

Well, that's sorta the way it goes with benchmarking apps. There's always one set of drivers that gives the best results. I know the 275.33's don't, but there's no way I'd revert to an older set just to get a better score in a benchmark. Like you said, the only thing that really counts is how well your games play... this is just for shits and giggles.

I would not bother going back if I were you. I already posted the difference between 11.5 and 11.6: http://www.sevenforums.com/graphic-...ne-heaven-post-your-score-11.html#post1449420

4870 vs. 6950. Same settings; D3D9

Third capture is the 6950 running in all of it's nativity.

 

[sygnus21]

Flashed my 6950 to a 6970

Well I finally decided to flash my 6950 to a 6970...... first one before flash, second - after flash



Benchmarks before flash.... 1280x1024, then 1920x1080



Benchmarks after flash, 1280x1024, then 1920x1080



Only gained 4-5 points

Noise and temps are about the same though. We'll see how it goes as in about a week though.

 

[Fumz]

I was afraid for your card... but it looks like it turned out well. How's gaming performance?

 

[sygnus21]

Right now I'm playing FEAR 3 all maxed out (it's a DX11 game) and it's running without any stuttering or slowdowns, though I'm not sure the game is a system tasker.



So far the card hasn't acted up but like I said before, I'm not overclocking it, just using the 6970 BIOS. I've also done no tweaks in the CCC control panel.

All is good thus far

 

[BugMeister]

- rather you than me, but nice trick..!!

 

[Fluffy]

Here is mine, this bench test looks amazing. My card didn't even break a sweat. Fans kicked in though to keep my gpu temps below 65C

 

[Terronium 12]

6950 Overclocked - 895/1360MHz

 

[sygnus21]

6950 Overclocked - 895/1360MHz

That's about right. I'm running 880/1375 with mines flashed to a 6970 and get 44 fps at that res.

Good.

 

[BugMeister]

11.6 drivers running at max everything..
- no overclock..

 

[sygnus21]

Those are some damn good numbers at that res for that crossfire setup
