Waggle your 'Joystick' - Post your 3Dmark Scores here

Are we using the demo version of 3dmark for this? That's all I have anyway. My 1080 arrives next week so I'm doing some comparisons between my system now with my 970 and again when my 1080 is in it.

I only have the demo version also - probably best to stick with that

I think it's best too. Everyone have access to that. Plus this thread will come in handy to compare or check how systems do in particular configurations.

I used before unigen benchmark, but looks like is not that popular anymore.

So for anyone that's interested I did some over clocking from the stock 4.0 GHz my 6700k has.

I so far have Overclocked it to 4.7 GHz as when I went to 4.8 GHz the Cinemark benchmark test that stresses the CPU crashed.

Original Results: (Ram was at 2400 Mhz for these)

DX 11 (17 497) http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/13521054

DX 12 (6 734) http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/13521261

4.7 Ghz Results (Upped the Ram speed to 3200 MHz which its advertised at)

DX 11 (18 017) http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/13579378?

DX 12 (6 998) http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/13579669

I didn't mess around with the voltage supplied to the CPU at all - Just the actual Clock speed.

CPU Score is holding me back,its next on the list for an upgrade,probably next year some time.

Still dialing in an overclock but this result is with gpu +103 core and +155 memory,tops out about 76C in the benchmark. CPU is @ 4.3Ghz

Will update with DX12 scores at a later date

\lost my overclock settings. Can't get it stable again. So down to

I would expect you to have at least 20k with gtx1080. What model do you have

My score for 980ti:

dx11 http://www.3dmark.com/fs/9476369
dx12 http://www.3dmark.com/spy/44193

I am not sure why other lads with ti are getting only 15k. Are they not overclocked cards ?

I ran mine at base clock anyway. As in the speed it came out of the box. My oc isn't stable enough yet.
CPU helps too though.

Any excuse is good I would say. I am looking at the gtx1080 at the moment, just need to sell my 980ti.

Is that really worth the step up?

Great to get some actual scores on different CPUs. It does seem Ivy bridge bottlenecks it a bit Still an excuse to upgrade! :pac:

Ye in most games its not an issue bar the minimum framerate drops,something like GTA V has the cpu pegged @ 91% usage going full pelt through the city and the framerate can drop as low as 68-70fps from over 100. Still though im maxing most games out @1440p and getting 70fps+ and i dont need vsync as im using a 96Hz monitor so its all pretty smooth even with the odd frame drop.

Just need to start saving for a upgrade,ill probably wait till kaby lake at this point or whatever intels next gen is. Cant see Zen doing much but ill be keeping an eye on that too

Not unless he's looking for 1440p/higher than 60fps or 4k/60fps. Waste otherwise.

Yup - If its 1440p 60 FPS you are after - The 980ti does that easily - If it's ultrawide 1440p or 4k - Then I can see a point in upgrading.

At the moment I can get only one thing, 1440p monitor or gtx1080. Cant decide.
I am looking to sell my current monitor and graphics card, so it really depends which will get sold first.
Any 1440p owners here? Would you say its big step up from 1080p?

Not huge no! Don't change until you can get a 4k monitor and a gtx1080. At that stage youll probably have a 1080 thats not priced for idiots. Youre still very safe for a few years with the 980ti. I think all the 1080 hype is way overblown. Any 'in game' benchmarks ive done with a 980ti were just barely behind a 1080 for fps at same settings including 4k.

I deliberately avoided 4k went from 1080 to 1440 .
I bought a Benq 2730 . It is a 27" monitor . At 27" ,1440 is perfect . I had a 32" 1080 monitor before this . 32" was far to big for use as a monitor if you are sitting within 2-3ft in front of it as you constantly have to move you head around the screen while gaming .
I have read many well informed comments online about the fact that 4k is far too much resolution for a screen that is less than about 40" . Think of the fact that ,at normal 4k resolution , all your desktop icons and txt will be 4 times smaller than 1080 . You will have to use the slider option in windows to increase the size of these properties , this causes the icons , txt , etc to become softer looking ...
And you will need a far more power hungry system to run games .


4K is a work monitor , not a gaming monitor imho .

The 290 is a legendary card imo . It has held its own for so long now and is extremely well priced throughout the majority of its lifespan. The only other comparable card I would compare it to was the 8800gtx ,another card that was a game changer.

Here's a Firestrike score I done a while back. I bought another 290 trixx just to run the bm and then sold on the 2nd card at a profit .

This run was with my older 5820, all at stock,
http://www.3dmark.com/fs/6986788

15901 is still holding up there . I could have probably pulled out another 1k points with clocking . The two card cost me €400 . I then sold one card for €260 . You couldn't go wrong at that price for the performance you gain.

I sold a 290 for 160e there a couple of months back. Was a brilliant card but noisy. But got a cheap 980ti so... great card. The hassle I had selling it. ....

I'm gaming on a 43" 4k screen and its bloody awesome. And that with a 970. My 1080 will be with me tomorrow. Depends on the games your playing I suppose.
