Sweclockers has a short article about it as well as some test results posted.


Did a fast test with my GPU at stock settings.

Going to update my drivers and try again, see what the difference is, if any.

bah gotta wait till the weekend till i can give this a nice spin on my rig.

[Cyanotical]

well this one is off to a good start:

@nocturnal, strange results on your ice storm. Your card is tad bit faster on the other tests (presumably since i'm only running +100mhz up from stock settings). But your ice storm is way below. This is the test with high (1500) fps, maybe your power supply on the Gigabyte is lacking somehow. Cause 1500fps is going to draw max power, i could hear the coils squeal up to my chair.

shinzai's seem off aswell.

I don't know why, my card was screaming pretty much during the 1000-1500fps as well. If it is a power supply issues it is probably since I use the adapter for 8pin. My PSU only have 1 6pin. Old PSU is old.

[Majesticii]

Yeah or the internal VRM's placed on the PCB are different. Going to check.

[Shinzai]

Wow, the newer beta drivers made a hell of a difference to the result:

2nd
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/8812

3rd
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/10287

1st Run (309 Drivers) Vs 2nd Run (313 Drivers) Vs 3rd Run (313 Drivers)

Ice Storm:

133858 Vs 166843 Vs 163681

Cloud Gate:

17564 Vs 18602 Vs 18579

Fire Strike

5478 Vs 5885 Vs 5941

Edit: Also added a 3rd run just to confirm the numbers were fairly accurate. Seems there are some minor fluctuations, but nothing huge.

Yeah so i checked, my GPU has 8phase digiVRM's, yours has 5phases digiVRM.

Not sure this is why though, running latest Beta drivers here.

Yeah I dunno, I'm not to bothered it performance really good in intensive stuff. Gonna install Afterburner for some overclocking now and run it again.

You should be looking at GPU score not total.

I find the physics results quite fascinating as well myself.

[n0cturnal]

Had some issues with stability in the last test and since I'm using the free version and can't skip demos and stuff I only did a mild overclock for now.

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/14753

1346 MHz core
7516 MHz memory

Perhaps but I don't see the point in a GPU benchmark. There are better benchmarks for CPU.

First strike with MSI 7970 Lightning - 6130 score

No OC applied atm.

@Nocturnal the card screaming is pretty normal for any 600 or 7000 series. It's not PSU related or anything related like that but it's just ONLY happening when you really have absurd high FPS, which is coil whine. Not that I know perfectly why it's coil whining but there's a lot of frequency switching shit happening in VRM on the pcb of gpu and causing the coils vibrating.

When you launch a very old game like Halo Combat Evolved, this card is pretty much boosting to 2000+ fps but once you enable vsync @60fps the screaming noise disappears complety.

Score with a gtx 680 - 1300MHz @ 1.35V - 7560MHz on VRAM @ 310.90 drivers -> http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/23107

Oh yeah I know it is coil whine, I think I formulated that sentence a bit wrong. We were talking about my bad results for the first test, that's what I don't understand.

Compare my overclocked score versus yours, for the 2nd and 3rd test they aren't that far apart but the first test is a massive difference.

Just out of curiosity, isn't that more like a max air overclock, rather than a mild overclock?

[n0cturnal]

Well, no not really. I could push it through Heaven at 1400+ core and 7800+ memory.
Perhaps mild wasn't the best description but I just pulled down the sliders a fair bit from my old stable overclock i used with the older drivers and Windows 7. With the free version of 3DMark I just don't have the patience to find max overclock since it only fails in the last test and it takes way too long to reach.
