970/980's don't do to we'll in Valley...

Real world gaming performance however is excellent

 

 

I am not so sure about that, here is my batman origins benches with both he 780 and 980 at stock. Game is running at 1440p with max settings on everything:

 

It feels like the biggest side grade ever, I have the card all boxed up and ready to go back. I am in two minds about it tbh, last day to send it back. I am considering grabbing a 970 then another next month for sli. The reason I grabbed a new card in the first place was how hot and loud the 780 got and the fact it cant go any higher than stock without + voltage with 68% asic quality. My 980 has 78% and is insane at stock volts, oced it really pulls ahead obviously but it really is a huge sidegrade for the money.

Well but that was clear for me from the very day the GTX980 came out. The GM204 is just a performance chip and not a high end chip. I came from a GTX780Ti 2way SLI and so I knew this wasn't in games the big leap.

But in terms of OCing especially for 3D Mark (what I do most) it was worth it all day long. And 4K a 3way SLI pulls really ahead of the GTX780Ti by far.  But for me since I stepped back to a 1440p IPS (I just hate the color shift of the TN panels) a 2way GTX980 SLI is fine for now.

I will wait on the next highend gen cards from nVidia and AMD see what they'll bring up to the table. The third GTX980 that I bought will do just fine in my HTPC later on .

some nice scores people

 

updated.

Using 3d mark for Firestrike I seem to have hit around peak performance at 10793. I'm not sure how most others compare since you can only view top 100 and not too many people with 970's are even listed to begin with. Would overclocking my cpu help with it at all? I know i'm using an I5 4690k but I'm wondering if it would help physics or something? Oc'ing the gpu I go from 22avg to 26avg fps on the physics but want more. Realizing I am into benchmarking not so much gaming, Need those 980's!!!!!

in 3d mark the cpu score is 25% of the overall score so it matters quite a lot. it can make a small difference in valley as well.

[pdv789]

Oh ... well dang lol. I'll have to spend a few days research the 4690k oc since I just came from the 8350. I know i can undervolt to .92 ... that is ridiculous that you can do that with intel!!!!! I can't wait to see how I did in the cpu lottery if I did that good in the gpu lottery. Does anyone know the general roundabout cost to put 2X240 rads for the cpu in a loop? I want to overclock but I HATE the 65+c temps. I really only like to oc on the 970 because I peak at 58c. Also I noticed that 99% of peeps in the top have I7's. Does that mean if I want to compete I need to move up to the i7's? Because if I do I'm going balls to the wall and getting the X99 socket. Might as well now that i know I like benching more than gaming.

intel cpu's are fine upto 80c and even at a when it is at 80c it will be producing less heat than your 8350 was at 60c.

all that hot cache memory on the 8350 is such a double edged sword  :rolleyes:

Okay, you have stumped me. C is a measurement of heat. How can 80c be producing less than 60c???? Sorry if I Just don't see it but it's escaping me at the moment. Must be the vodka.

the cooler would be better

no that is a measure of temperature not heat. the tdp is the measure of heat output (although the amd is more like 140w+ rather than 125w)

yes, ok sorry i was being special for a minute there

nah, was funny. gave me the chance to refer to an AMD cpu as a furnace. 

[pdv789]

Temperature=heat and/or cold.

Heat is a warm if not hot form of temperature ... literally. Yes the higher the tdp(total power draw) the hotter it will be as the more power it consumes makes it ... well hotter; common sense there. However my 8350 ran remarkebly cool, On the Corsair H100i I never saw more than 50c(amd temp probe so corrected 60c according to the temp probe I put on the backside of the socket) and that was at 4.5ghz. But the I5 4690k NEVER exceeds 53c at 3.9 even after hours upon hours of gaming. I was able to achieve up to 4.6ghz on the 8350 on stock voltage. Too bad I fried the mobo XP

no. if i have a 1000w fan heater at 120c and a 14000w fan heat at 120w in 2 rooms of the same size the 14000w one will cook me first. the 8350 puts out more meat that the 4690K. if you have a 8350 running at 8ghz on ln2 using 500w, running at -180c, it will put out more heat than a stock 8350 with a stock cooler at 62c

(i'll stop now)

 

very true. a cpu cannot run unless it leaks power, and being a semi-conductor means the power turns into heat.

I thought W was a measurement of power (one form of it) and despite the fact that one holds 1000w or 1400w they are both at 120c ... the w it takes to reach that temp is just a matter of effieciency. If that's not the case could you link me to some sort of article that explains it so I can read and understand?

i used the heater as an example because the efficiency is 99.99999% as the light and sound that it makes ins't very much energy. it is just basic physics really. you should have learn't it at school.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPU_power_dissipation

[pdv789]

Okay, I understand where you are coming from now. Thank you for pointing it out, while that may have been taught in my high school it has 1) been a long time since then 2) I was absent from class for periods of time due to circumstances. That is very interesting, I will have to take all this into account and try to redo my oc on my 970 and see if I can improve the score at all. However I am very doubtful that I will be able to unless i resort to more exotic cooling such as a water block.

MSI 970 at 1400mhz (1396 to be exact, although it shows 1388) and Memory hasn't been touched... (edit: Memory seems to have +60 on MSI Afterburner...)

 

 

 

i5-4690K is only running stock, since I needed to put some time into getting my overclock stable again... I had 4.5ghz all set, but needed to add a few more voltages the other week and haven't had time...

 

Average temps were around 52...

 

Switched from a HD 7850 and I'm happy... Sorry if I post anything wrong!

 

 

My clocks last night were not going above 405mhz and I was shitting myself... Got it all sorted thank god...

Get that memory speed up to around 2000MHz re bench and your score will jump up around 400 points or more.

[BSpendlove]

970 hasn't had a crash yet and is still going, so I'll see what I can do with it when I get more time:, I feel I can get more out of it!

 

 

 

EDIT

 

I just done another one quickly, with only 10+ mhz on the memory and increased the score by a bit to beat the score above..:

 

 

[D2ultima]

I guess I should try this score submitting thing yeah?

 

Hope this is done right.
