FEATURED Marathon Season VI March: Unigine Heaven HWBot

[MaddMutt]

I'm Back with another setup
This is the GTX-460 (192 Bit) ver my other sub which was a GTX-460 (256 Bit).
These are listed as 2 separate classes of cards for subbing at the Bot

MaddMutt / GTX-460 (192) / AIR / 881.506


MaddMutt / GTX-460 (192) in SLI / AIR / 1736.717

 

[MaddMutt]

AS always another setup/submission - If I keep this up - I beat everyone just from total points submitted

And Yes I'm having a good Month

MaddMutt / HD-7850 / AIR / 1461.111

 

[freeagent]

I would bench my 970 but that thing is such a piece of ****. It throttles itself constantly. I would smash it, but its better than the gtx580 it replaced

 

[UltraTaco]

Mr.Mutt, how many gtx460's do you have? did you run 6 way sli back in the day?

 

[MaddMutt]

Dear Mr. Taco,

About 2 years ago (I could be wrong as my mind is going ) I purchased WitchDoctor's Large Collection of NVidia Cards. IIRC he had 43 - 47 Nvidia Cards. I'm a BIG AMD FAN and have not gotten around to benching the Nvidia side of my collection.

 

[MaddMutt]

Here is another attack I had to use 2 Cards to beat the GTX-980 I'm going to have to work on that setup.

MaddMutt / R9-290x in CF / AIR / 5730.708

 

[freeagent]

Nice one!

I tried to find another 980 here locally.. I found one for 250, and another for 275 and they wont budge. I paid 200 for mine.. so SLI is not in the cards pardon the pun

 

[MaddMutt]

-> He's at it again

MaddMutt / 2x XFX HD-5850 Black Edition in CF / Custom Water / 1685.773

 

[Zerileous]

Wow, got blown out of the water my Woomack. He has over 100mhz on me in GPU clocks, could that explain that large of a difference?

Edit: gained a few points by tweaking my GPU clock. I also set my fans to run at 1500rpm to prevent throttling. I'm pretty sure I'm CPU limited right now, because the GPU load in "basic" is in the 60% and while clock speeds break 1700MHz occasionally, they don't stay there, and even the memory downclocks. Meanwhile the CPU remains at 4250MHz and 17% load (i.e. 100% single core). In "xtreme" the GPU load remains above 80% and clocks stay higher, but there are still some (likely CPU dependent) drops. Looking at my options, it seems I'm not likely to gain a lot of ground over 4250mhz in an all core OC, maybe I could disable 4 cores to bench. Also maybe I could see improvements from increasing memory speed. Of course I would like to break 1800MHz on the GPU like Woomack, but I think I'll need to go past 300w and also either use a harder benchmark or otherwise decrease the CPU bottleneck.

He has a different BIOS on his card, if you pm him I am sure he could provide a link

the CPU is what is the real killer here . Intel i9 at 5.2GHZ

Yep, pretty happy with the results. Got to 4.4GHz @ 1.41v. On 2 core my scores dropped, but it was stable enough to run the the benchmark with 4 cores enabled. I didn't get to play with memory yet, but I'm very pleased with the improvement.

Zerileous / Sapphire Vega 64 reference / H2O / 6020.538

 

[Witchdoctor]

Awesome run

 

[Johan45]

Nice work but Witchy is right CPU clock speeds make a difference in this benchmark

 

[DaPoets]

DaPoets / ASUS STRIX VEGA 64 / Water / 5735.278

 

[Woomack]

I had to run my card with fans at max speed (3100 rpm or something) so it boosts a bit higher and keep higher GPU clock for longer. The first stage of throttling it starting just above 60°C so even though it was barely passing 70°C then it needed better cooling so it could make these couple of MHz more in benchmark.
My card has Hynix HBM which is not clocking as good as Samsung and I can't really pass 1050MHz even for short benchmarks
I'm still satisfied with this small PCB card ... can find faster nvidia but vega is more fun ... and in current prices it's finally good option comparing to nvidia cards.

I'm not sure how to make LOD work in DX11 on this card. It's possible on nvidia but I couldn't make it work on amd. Also some guys who were playing with additional graphics settings couldn't make it so I guess it doesn't work. The same most other options are not working at all. I was checking various graphics options but results were usually worse than at default settings.

jiccman1965/GTX 1080 ti/AIR/9008.681

 

[MaddMutt]

That's right Jiccman...you need to bring out some of your other cards if you plan to beat my TOTAL Score from my submissions
I may be bringing up the rear but I'm like 4th with a total of 17,541.934 point's submitted so far.
If I keep having a good month, I may dust off my KP Collection I still have them as my Secret Weapon

GTX-780Ti KP Edition
GTX-980 KP Edition
GTX-980Ti KP Edition

 

[jiccman1965]

With 3 card my total higher than yours.....

 

[Witchdoctor]

1.616 on air ……………. yikes

 

[EarthDog]

LOL, that CPU isn't on air at those clocks and voltage... is it? The card is though. I think since this is a GPU test... more or less, that section is for the GPU.
