I hope you don't mind me questioning this, but seeing as you are a new member I have to.

Also please don't think this is because it will knock me off the top of the leaderboard, honestly I really don't care about that. If someone posts an amazing score then I am pleased for them and usually try to beat them.

I am finding it real hard to believe a 290X at 1200/1500 could beat a GTX 780 running 1333/1737 by so much.

As you know, I owned an R9 290X and I did extensive testing with that and a GTX 780, the 780 beat it in every benchmark bar 3D Mark and 3D Mark 11.

Could you please run the test again and also include a GPUz screenshot and your score and username on a sticky note on a full desktop shot.

Please don't take offense to this, but for 2 reasons I have to ask, 1 because as I said you are a new member and 2 because your score is so much higher than your previous one.

Cheers

Paul.

The fact can be that it has had some mistake I bring into line that 290x not podesia to have done so many points.
I am going to do more tests, to see what it happened later put the results.

Ok, let us know how you get on.

Paul you have to take into Consideration they have a WQHL driver now and it works well maybe AMD booster performance through the driver

I am doing pretty Amazing scores too even though i have Dinosaurs

Yeah Solar mate, I know drivers can make a good improvement , but seriously nearly 2500 points for a single card? I overclocked the shit out of my 780 and he is beating me by 15%. Something don't add up. I don't normally question scores and if it had been say 2200 then I would not have but 2500 is mental.

His card after he flashed to the 290X was 1800 odd, which was only a day or so before and then an overclock bags him a 36% increase, heck how many cards do you know that will overclock to 36% faster?

I know it looks bad cos I am top of the single card leaderboard and maybe I might be bitter for someone to beat me, but that ain't my bag, if someone beats me legitimately I like it and am happy for them, but he is a new member and I can't take his word for such a crazy high score.

To give an indication of how high it is, I would probably need to OC my card to something like 1500MHz to beat it, that ain't right. Looking at 3D Marks scores a 290X at 1200MHz scores the same as mine at 1333MHz so to beat me by 15% in this just ain't right.

He ain't been back yet with another run and the info I asked for so we will see. I trust all you main members as I know you and you would always want things to be right, but with a new member I have to be cautious.

I hope all of that don't sound too harsh but I run the leaderboards and maybe I am too lenient as it is regarding validations on scores but normally on here I know most folks.

Well, Paul, FWIW I think you are doing a fine job and I don't blame you one bit for questioning him. I questioned it when I first saw it. I thought it was very unusual. But, we all know some of these tests will give a rogue score occasionally, and it may have been a case of that. But, whatever it was it was just too high and too big a jump to make sense of.

Thanks Steve, I honestly don't mind him getting that high a score if it is genuine, but he also said the GPU hit 110C, now me and you both know that once a GPU hits a certain temp then thermal throttling will come into play, there are different levels, I don't know where they are on the 290X but there should be a few, maybe 1 at 70, 1 at 80, 1 at 90 and so on, but what I am saying is the core speed would have been reduced massively during the test if it hit 110C by the end and as a result the score would have been affected badly.

My run at 1333MHz well the CPU did not get above 70C and there was no throttling. I just find it very hard to believe a 2500 point score.

If he can prove me wrong then I will be the first to apologize but it seems far too high for me. I expect a 1200MHz 290X to score between 2000-2200 without any throttling, with throttling well, tops 2000, 2500 is just mental.

Paul.

New score, only 20 points higher but it took a lot of work, CPU at 4.9GHz, GPU at 1333/1902.

 

[ganjiry]

Very nice score chap

Very nice score chap

Thanks mate, I am bracing myself for a barrage of new scores from you tomorrow

 

[Solarstarshines]

Hey Paul nice score

 

[Britton30]

Nice run Paul, try CPU at 5300, 1.9V.

 

[essenbe]

Paul, that was a lot of work you did today overclocking that card. You beat me by 2.2 FPS. That probably would not be noticable in a game. I'm really being serious. It just makes me wonder why we go to a lot of this effort to overclock things that don't really make much difference in the real world. Well, wondering if there is a reason other than it's fun. But, you do have to wonder about our sanity.

Hopefully yes but only if I feel better than I do now, I'll have to put some of that food stuff in me for some energy lol's
Ebuyer are on a go slow as I've not even had the dispatched mail yet but fingers crossed it won't be late when they show up.

But, you do have to wonder about our sanity.

:roflmao:
I try not to think about it, I paused for a few second's when pulling the trigger on an £800 upgrade I don't need lmao!
But! But! Shiny! Shiny! :drool::drool:

 

[essenbe]

I think you're in for a real treat, Ryan. Of course, I only have a single card, but my stock 780 beat my overclocked 670 by 800 points. So, you won't have to worry about how you feel. You'll feel great.

You can use graphics cards for games too? Now you tell me

 

[essenbe]

That sounds like something I would expect from you.

 

[ganjiry]

First run of Heaven at total stock for the gpu's including fan profile, Max temp 79 and 68c, Both cards boosting to 1045MHz.
It's a nice boost form the 670's

 

[paulpicks21]

Ryan, a very nice score, but again I think it should be higher.

I don't know if you remember, but a while back there was talk of the "Extreme" preset not working properly for the SLI/Xfire guys but with the exact same settings on a "Custom" profile they worked fine.
Could I suggest you try the Custom setting with the following settings to see if it changes anything.

Quality (ultra), Tesselation (Extreme) AA (X8) and resolution at 1600x900.
