even max setting my PC still ready for it :D mesa happy

[Fiendishone]

Was expecting around a 10k but I'll take it lol

[behe]

I really wanted 15k, arbitrarily, but I guess 14213 will have to do. CPU is 6/12 OC to 4.2. GPU I use a personally modded BIOS, currently at 1556 core and 7600 mem. A few notes, remember to turn off V-sync, set preferred refresh rate (if you have the option) to highest possible, and if you use a maxwell GPU with the stupid "no fans until 60 degrees" bullshit just use afterburner to enable a normal fan curve. Your score will jump up (I got like 400 - 500 points) because the driver makes boost decisions based on possible future temps and voltages.

[Lokus]

GPU manufacturers must love it when benchmarks for anticipated games come out.

[pnavaja]

Ok so, Isnt Directx 11 supose to run things a lot easier, less stress on the cpu/gpu, should go faster etc? i tough i read that.

If thats the case then why do i get lower scores on directx11? i mean on 1080p directx9 i get about 67fps on maximum, same settings on directx11 i get about 40, why should i play on directx11 for less frams?

Can someone explain pls?

[Dammerung]

Because DX11 on max has extra features enabled.

[Seid]

Just text version:

OS aside, u and me have the same old school processor and new GT970 XD

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a3...psfg3uz7aj.jpg

May not be current CPU or an i7.. or even an X99 but its a damn good score for a Z97 build. So proud.

SLi pays off.

[Buffy]

Has anyone had an issue where the benchmark won't launch? I can run the Unigine Heaven DX11 benchmark (I'm in the midst of a rebuild - new HD and video cards), but this benchmark won't launch at all.

It lets me chose settings and tries to start, but just goes back to start button.

Any tips?

edit: This time, without changing anything, it ran. Well okay.

edit2: cracked 15k compared to my previous 6k. Much happiness.

[Buffy]

Anyone using 3 monitors for FFXIV? Specifically with Nvidia? My first monitor is DVI, my second is display port to DVI and my third is HDMI. I'm assuming the reason I can't set up 3 monitor gaming is the HDMI monitor? When I was running Radeon, you couldn't use HDMI for that either, needed to get a mini display port to DVI adapter. I assume I need to get another display port to DVI adapter if I want to run the three monitors?

[Prothescar]

should only need 3x DVI if you're trying to run 3D surround. 2D surround can use any combination of ports

Not bad for an i3 with a 750ti. Also ran it on the settings I would if I were still playing and scored 8600.

[Sephiroth]

I just upgraded my GPU a couple of months ago so not sure what to make of this:

[Buffy]

I abandoned Radeon because of mostly terrible results with this game, including straight crashes until I learned to turn on low quality details for long distance, or w/e it was. I don't want to discourage you, but that score doesn't particularly surprise me. I was only able to get 8k with 2 Radeon 7850 run in crossfire (1920 x 1080 maximum settings) before I upgraded.

[Kaisha]

I just upgraded my GPU a couple of months ago so not sure what to make of this:

That it's an nVidia sponsored benchmark running nVidia's middleware that gives +2k points to any nVidia cards running it.

[Classikmage]

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4150 CPU @ 3.50GHz

Windows 8.1

Display Adapter: Nvidia GeForce GT 630 (VRAM 947 MB)

Direct X 9

1280 x 720 Standard Desktop Windows

I got 4333 HIGH.

Any chance I can enhance that easily without getting a new computer?
