What Are You Running?

[HR31_RB20DET]

Got my hands on an AMD FX-8350 today, on stock clock seen a great improvement already over the 955 which was overclocked, happy times

[JimmyRickard]

anyone know when the non-ref 290's are coming out? My 7970 was playing up so I returned it, may as well wait for a 290

maybe my card doesnt runn dx11...? should be latest version, its through steam. might be drivers.

what card is it? most newish ones should.. maybe try downloading it not from steam as well try going through the 3dmark site and getting it from there might be different.

So I conducted this test lastnight, and the results were very surprising. With ultra 2560x1440, without using software to track an average, I hovered ~45-60fps and nothing dipped below 35-40fps in the heavier action (granted, I wasn't on big servers with huge maps). This is surprising, because most BF4 tests I'd seen of the GTX770 show a 40fps average on these settings, dipping down into high 20s at times, which is borderline unplayable. Granted, that is probably based in a stock reference card, so maybe my Gigabyte's overclocking and the extra 2gb vram (4gb) are a huge help with the higher resolution. Either way, it's comforting to know the game is very playable at this resolution and quality of graphics! Bumped it down to high settings at 2560 x 1440 and without anti-aliasing; saw ~65-75fps average. Very satisfied with the build now!

Yeah that 4GB ram should help out a bit @ our high res and obviously the overclock would help a bit too, 770 definitely a top end card good to see it performing well. I'll play some BF4 with ya over the weekend

Add me. I'll play with yas . Bryndett

Cool I'll add ya

Tweaking my daily overclock a bit, upped the cache clock another 100mhz core so 4200 cache 4500 core will test stability out over next couple of weeks and continue to go up a bit more! The H90 seems to be doing a decent job at keeping things ~70c on bf4 slightly above on synthetic tests which is fine.

Almost 15k for a single card might I'll get there soon and surely

Graphics still at +150/+200 (boosting max seems to be about 1180 average 1150mhz)

ok so got around to running a few benchmarks on the pc that i built in July. Here are the results with crossifre 7970 and 16gb ram (removed 16gb for results) All test done on 3dmark 11 Pro

out of the box as built in June with old drivers

driver update to 13.10 (non beta)

increase on multiplyer (CPU only)

here are the images of the one click genie from MSI. I have not touched any BIOS/RAM/GPU settings yet and would expect this to go way into the 21***+ mark with those and the other 16gb put back in (to bring it back upto 32gb ram)

x38 (3800mhz)

x42 (4200mhz)

to be honest i actually think my scores a little low to what they should be. I also noticed that my CPU is running 3.8Ghz out of the box instead of 3.5Ghz.

[BrynDETT]

standard boost clock on a 3770k is 3.9ghz.. sweet score though.. turn it up a little more

[UNR33L]

Raised GPU core another 10mhz P14960, almost at 15k single card not far off will give this a test for a bit

lol offcourse....wasnt even thinking of the boost clocking....it could go a lot more with RAM/GPU and some more CPU cranking but no point at this stage and i really should look at cooling

CPU - box fan currently

GPU - Tripple fan cooling each

Case - 3 x 12 and 1 x 14cm

edit: forgot to note that these tests were done on a 42" toshiba LCD

wont really matter what screen you run the tests on as it runs on a standard low res that all screens will handle (To keep results the same / fair)

I wont comment on the 3770k as I don't know enough about the ivy bridge

Edited December 15, 2013 by UNR33L

[BrynDETT]

Ivy has been awesome to me so far.. I've run 1.4+v from the day it turned on over 7 months ago.. All the ppl on the forums don't run anywhere nere this voltage on water.. Still loves it.. Much like my engine haha

[Birds]

I don't know enough about any of these dinosaur processors

[BrynDETT]

Hahaha haswell ain't that much faster I think about 10% faster per clock ..

offcourse was just for benchmark details

ivy bridge is all kinds of awesome altho not much difference between the 2

[UNR33L]

Both are awesome, but must have latest and greatest haswell!

[BrynDETT]

de-lid that haswell dude!!

I'm still on the old i7 2600k (what ever code name that one was) & I haven't even bothered to overclock it at all... :S

Upgraded the video card once way back (from 260GTX to 570GTX) & found haven't found the need to upgrade anything.

Raised GPU core another 10mhz P14960, almost at 15k single card not far off will give this a test for a bit

So with the same settings, but now on custom watercooling I gained a few extra points points due to temps being down, I'll be overclocking more soon!
