Mod Note: In all of my benevolence (and the fact I'm tired of cleaning gag posts out of the BA thread) I have created a new (did we ever have one??) Off Topic thread for all your randomness and IT-related humour! The rules are: there are no rules. Although posting on-topic stuff here or stuff that belongs in Hardware Discussion etc. better may be moved randomly with extreme prejudice!! It will also make you look silly

The basic version on the Futuremark site is done a little weirdly. There are a list of mirrors for it to the right of where you click to download it through Steam.

My score is lower then Eboggles 7950 :rolleyes:

Core clock 810Mhz. I wonder why is it so low? Full load it should be going 1050mhz

It takes a reading at the end of the test for that specs page, my card does the same and it actually runs the test at 1202 (its full boost clock)

Look on the brightside, it scored more than treble mine...

Though mine is more of a media centre than anything else!

Well. gtx680 overclocked had to score more then 7950 overclocked. So more then likely there are two resons for my low score: Eboggles 7950 is just a monster bastard out of Hell or 3dmark is quite unbalanced for Nvidia cards.

For example i did the Catzilla benchmark and there are no 7950 even near my score.

Update your drivers? TBH 3DMark is actually a bit (note: a bit) faster on Nvidia cards, so my bet is that whatever set of drivers you're on aren't working properly with it.

marco_polo

Dunno deano posted a firestrike score of 6700 plus for a GTX 680 lightning @ 1200mhz in the overclocking forum so shadows score looks reasonably consistent with that.

The AMD cards do seem to score better on the graphics part of the firestrike DX 11 test from what I have seen, but we'll see when some of the tech sites start benching on uniform rigs.

Latest drivers already.

My 3D Mark score is

ICE STORM 169712
CLOUD GATE 20466
FIRE STRIKE 8775

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/106335?

Seems the best so far

lol

edit core clock should of been 1058 MHz........

BloodBath

There's a dedicated thread for this here;

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056873441

Would be better if people posted their scores there so we can compare.

Gumbi

I hate the coil whine induced on my 7950 when I run 3D mark

I will throw up some scores later if I get a chance.

Btw, does anyone have the Sapphire 950mhz 7950 edition (I think you may, Bloodbath, since you recommended me get that card). Does yours have a kind of light scrape sound around 40-50% fan speed? I read a comment online about this and realised I had the same thing. In addition, it seems that if put pressure on the shroud, lifting it upwards slightly, the scraping stops. When I release the pressure it begins again. Would the fans or swim thing be..."loose".

Woops, longer comment than I had meant to post, sorry if I hijacked the thread

Serephucus

It's an off-topic thread. No such thing as hijacking.

Just saw that - I thought it was the benchmarking one actually

I wonder if something on-topic might be considered off-topic in an off-topic thread

:D
Thanks for help in advance though.

Most likely my friend will need a new motherboard but on the odd chance could I get windows 8 working with this motherboard?

http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3967#ov

Im sure windows 8 upgrade assistant will tell me but I cant use that right now

Wossack

I couldnt imagine why not

Headshot

id be worried about driver issues

Wossack

it looks like its good for windows 7 - which I believe (open to correction) is a good sign for windows 8

That's being fairly optimistic, don't you think? :P

Also, does anyone know how to fnd the current clock speed of your gfx card? My 4870 is factory overclocked, and when I tried to overclock my CPU from 2.8 to 3.5 I set the speed to none-overclock speed that I had found on a website, and nearly borked it

Xbox, stating that talk of a 1.6Ghz eight-core AMD CPU and a D3D11.x 800MHz graphics solution were true. They also mentioned 8GB of DDR3. and 8GB of DDR3 RAM.

That would be very good for PC gamers because it should mean less crappy ports .

Serephucus

Maybe, just maybe, a 4770K might be a valid option for gamers six months from now.

BloodBath

Urggh a new socket for those. That sucks

I heard they are releasing 8 and 12 core chips in Q4 this year as well.

That 4770k will hardly be much better than a 3770k will it?

Still time to buy AMD shares at a low €2.50. It was €1.80. There's still good value there.

Surely all 3 next gen consoles using amd processors and graphics will bump their share value back to at least the €10 region in a year or 2 from now.

Serephucus

No. Most predictions indicate between 10-15% improvement. I more meant that the 4770K might be a better alternative to the 4570K. The only reason I didn't say 37/35 is because the new consoles won't hit until later this year. Then there's the obligatory three months for devs to actually get comfortable coding for the PS4, etc.

I dont think it will take that long for devs as the architecture of the new consoles isnt brand new and i know for a fact SquareEnix have been working on a next gen game/games since early 2011

its not like the ps3 where sony had the genius idea of introducing the cell processor, new media format with a slow drive, gimping the ram and then brilliantly not letting devs get access to tools and system information that first party devs had.

The demo is already up on Xbox Live, played it, didnt think much of it. Like you said, its not very Metal Geary.

PC has been bluescreening for 2 weeks now with google chrome constantly crashing as well as any other browser

Tried reinstalling windows 7 twice and using the original drivers
Tried using a different monitor
Have updated all my drivers
Tried taking out my graphics card

Ran a memory test which detected hardware problems so will work on that tomorrow
Need to clean the hardware

Any further suggestions?

Squeaky the Squirrel

Can get lucky with bluescreenview telling you the causes sometimes. Memorys probably all it is.
