Very happy overall.

[Takiwaki]

I notice some testing full screen while some are borderless windowed. After doing both there is a very noticeable drop in score when doing borderless windowed, much more so that the last benchmark.

[Buffy]

Full screen should perform better, especially in Crossfire/SLI setups.

[Oherros]

Here's mine. Wee benchmark scores.

2560x1440, DX11, Fullscreen

Hmm, how is your score so high? I've got a 970 and better CPU at 2560x1600 and it's quite a bit lower than yours...



What driver version are you using? Edit: looks like 5012.. going to have to update to check but that seems like a huge difference.

[Prothescar]

Managed to bump a bit higher with some tweaking to OC settings and whatnot. Turned transparent lighting to normal like I normally have it too.

You're running at 2560x1600, and I'm at 2560x1440. You've got an extra 409,600 pixels to push.

Outside of that, the 780ti is a bit faster than the 970, and I don't think that the CPU is as much of a factor in DX11 as it is in DX9.

[BadKarma]

[Taint]

6800 with low settings qq

[Eddard]

11377 @ Max and 1440p

I don't think it shows in the text, but SLI MSI 970s. And it shows Preset 1 as the setting because I saved it to compare to other settings (which it got deleted anyways when I restarted my system).

[Wulfgang]

Says "Preset 1", but it's max everything. Fine for a PC I built in 2010.

[SamanosukeShiva]

Nvidia's benchmark score lol, hax.

[Shenrien]

I honestly expected no less from a machine that is likely outfitted with the best technology they could get their hands on. 5960X is a beast, Titan X is nice but its more of a card you should be seeing used in developer systems rather gaming systems. I can't see a purpose for having 12GB of GDDR5 for a game, looks like either the benchmark doesn't recognize how much VRAM the card has or its been scaled back for whatever reason, going to go with my first guess.

[Purrrfect]

So my computer won't run it in full screen for some reason. Both monitors go blank like any other game when switching to full screen, then it comes back to the desktop and the benchmark is running in a window... And hitting alt-enter while running makes it repeat that full screen attempt and back to window.

[BadKarma]

Nvidia's benchmark score lol, hax.

My computer was so ashamed of itself it shriveled and died.

[Aerin]

I guess I'm okay with this score. Feels like I could tweak some settings on my computer to boost it up a bit, maybe later.
