Valley Benchmark by Unigine

Who knows mate, and it's only a benchmark after all, so don't worry about it.

Exactly mate, Just numbers enit
Its just nice to know things are running as good as they should be

 

[Solarstarshines]

the scores you seen are probably at lower settings everyone here agreed to the same i can almost bet your getting 1680/1050 scoring this we all ran at 1920/1080 and people scoring that high something is amiss

 

[paulpicks21]

Hey solar, no mate, it's strictly extreme HD mode only on that thread.

 

[paulpicks21]

Have a look your self bud it's in the benchmark section on overclock.net

 

[Solarstarshines]

I seen some of the scores im seeing tri fire and quad set ups hitting 4000+

some Gtx 580 sli's are 3800's with a i73770k and some with a I73820

My score is close to the CF 7970's im about 200pts under some im thinking it is the overclock on some of these cards is the help these guys are getting realisticly and they are probably clocked very high to boot

say paul you are at 1200/1600 right im at 1125/1575 not much of a jump but enough to beat me in a single card dual so i figure that is why we are seeing extremes

There's always going to be a lot of variation in scores enit due to the different clocks and tweaks each person does.

wow you got more then a extra 10 frames from the 6870 wonder what the overclock will throw out there good numbers i say time to test the ghost !

 

[linnemeyerhere]

With a small OC.

 

[paulpicks21]

That's a real nice increase over your old card mate, good score

 

[ganjiry]

Nice 1 linnemeyerhere i bet you're chuffed with that card aren't you. Nice score mate

 

[paulpicks21]

My goal tonight was to break 2000 points with a single card.

(Please note this is without Lucid on, Lucid does not work with Valley benchmark anyway.)

I installed the latest version of Trixx 4.6, I overclocked to 1230/1675.
I installed the latest 13.2 Beta 6 drivers.

And what do ya know, I didn't just break 2000 points, I smashed it.
This is a pretty sweet score for a single GPU, well I am certainly happy with it anyway

Nice 1 Paul well done chap

Nice 1 Paul well done chap

Thanks Ryan, it's a pretty good score, but I was looking on the charts on OCN and some of the guys have had nearly 2500 from 1x 7970, I am not going to attempt to get higher, I can't be bothered lol

Remember on OCN they're probably ringing the cards neck with some mad high oc, silly voltage's and chiller units for cooling. Going there to compare results is like going to the ROG forums for results
have a look at the first post on this thread Unigine Benchmark
A couple of the lads ran Valley, One of which was running an i5 2600k and a 7970. He score's pretty much the same.

Edit: It's bloody cold thismorning so i thought i'd do a run with stock gpu setting's while ambient was about 10c just to see what difference temp makes. It didn't really, A couple more fps and +6 points thats all.
It was nice to do it without my cpu fans @ 87% though. nice n quiet I'll have a bit more of a read up on Nvidia oc'n and have a play.

[paulpicks21]

Yeah, I certainly aint gonna lose any sleep over it mate, it's only a benchmark eh!

It's always cold in the cabin in the winter, I class it as my overclocking season lol, but I am looking forward to the summer when I can sit out here without freezin me bo#*ox off

 

[ganjiry]

Thats it mate, Just numbers enit
'Yeah you got the right idea getting out to the cold for your overclocking. I'd seize up if it was me lol Roll on the summer though aye. all 2 wks of it.

For those interested..
New Nvidia drivers 314.07 seem good so far. I skipped 310.90

 

[ganjiry]

It's another cold one today so i thought i'd try to break 3k. My Gpu's were idling at 26c so nice n chilly but i've not done any gpu oc before. So just testing the water's

Not quite got the 3k yet but i'll get there. It should be easy though

 

[paulpicks21]

Pretty darn close to 3k there mate
