Post your 3DMARK11 Scores

I am not sure I want to put this card through what we did to the 780s we had. But it would be fun to see really how high it would go. I think there is more left in the tank with mine. I'm just not sure how much I want to abuse a pretty expensive card. I think the reason I can't get 1615 stable is because of the power limit of 125%.

The good (or bad) news for me is even if I wanted to try and put it through all the crap my 780 classy went through I couldn't. No custom bios available or voltage tool for this card so it will be safe and sound lol.

Edit: That reminds me, I better change my system spec now, still have the 780 listed.

Paul, I really believe that is good news. At least you don't have to make the decision I have to make. I already have the BIOS downloaded with the flashing tool and the voltage tool. I just haven't decided whether I want to use it. It's a good thing I gave up drinking. If I was still drinking, I would have already burned this thing up, if that is possible. With what we did to the 780 classys, I'm not sure you can kill one. If you could, both of ours would have fried. I know I was very close to 1.4V on mine, and a couple of tests I ran, I'm sure I saw smoke coming from it. But, it runs quite well to this day, and can still put up some good numbers. So, I'm not sure you can kill a classy, I'm not real sure you can even damage one.

I'll give mine one more go the voltage needed to get where you guys are is pretty insane lol

I wonder do i need a clean install because it seems i am not getting what i should

 

[essenbe]

can't answer that. I didn't do a clean install. Try this, it's what I do. Don't install anything you don't actually need and use. No audio/HDMI stuff, you already have that in your motherboard drivers. Just another possible conflict.http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/327414-nvidia-drivers-avoid-problems.html

 

[paulpicks21]

I didn't do a clean install either Solar and I am running stock voltage on the card.

Ok will try when I get home at the Dr office check up lol I got anxiety when I saw the nurse my bp was 140/80 lol usually 126/70

Good luck. The anxiety could have been down to me and Steve's scores though pmsl.

Lol they just wanted to check me out I'm good to go

 

[essenbe]

More than likely because the nurse touched him. Perhaps some normal instincts made the BP increase. BP is short for Blood Pressure, I am not responsible for anyone's dirty mind.

My thinking is, you don't need to flash the custom bios or use the voltage tool unless someone beats you in the Unigine benchmarks. With regards to the 3D mark ones, I think even if you did use them you would still be fighting a loosing battle as my CPU brings my score up by so much so again not worth it.

No point putting the card through hell unless it's needed which at present it's not.

I didn't see any smoke coming out of my 780 classy but I don't think it was far off during the battles we had lol.

So, let me see if I understand this correctly. In order to compete with you, I have to get a Haswell-E Board and CPU? Strange, I've never thought of that.

No, you can do it cheaper than that! Just a 4930K and X79 board will be enough for you to beat me!

Going to be using my Dad's PC for a while until I get a new place in Jan so I figured I better run a benchmark on it.

I think you will find I just got the number 1 spot on the Integrated graphics section lol. It was pretty painful running it though

Number of the beast oh yeah :devil:

Updated. You will need to scroll down to see the entry.

Threw a little run in there

Just shaking my a$$ shaking my a$$ lol

Not a bad score for an Amateur Solar mate :roflmao:

Just messin mate. A very good score. I have a big advantage in this one due to my CPU and I know that. But Steve does not so you must try to beat Steve. However the Classified is a tough card to beat!
