I'm just trying to keep up with those bad ass Titan XPs.

No kidding.  Have you see this?  Not sure what magical fairy dust this guy is sprinkling on his GPUs, but I wish he'd freakin share.  49k?  /smh

is his score valid?

Says it is.....I had to roll my rig outside, lower my coolant to 2c to get mine to hit 48k, and he's got his hitting 49......I've tried everything I could think of, and can't touch it.  (aside from flashing to the T4 bios or hard modding.....I won't do either)

i think his extra cpu speed nets higher gpu score at high fps. thats why.

Ya know...I've never seen a difference in the graphics score in Firestrike no matter what my CPU is running.  I've heard people say that, but.....I just can't get there, as I've never seen it.  Some of my best graphics scores come during test runs, when my CPU is running my daily clocks.  /shrug

makes a difference for me running e5 e2670 v1 vs 2500K on a 7990 cf for gpu score. i suspect he has tweaked the os as well as i have seen his name on hwbot and i think he has a lot of points.

Yeah, there's a bit of trickery involved there.  I know folks are cheating in a lot more obvious ways as it's being talked about on OCN.

This is in my near future.  I'm either rolling it out into the garage or onto the rear deck.  If I put it on the rear deck, I can just plug it in outside and close the glass door.  Then use a wireless keyboard and mouse and I never have to get cold. lol

My best 5960x and 7700k graphics scores with the same SLI are almost identical, but slightly favoring my 7700k setup.  Obviously, the 5960x kills my 7700k in physics, but I do average 17.4k to 17.5k now with the 7700k, and that's not too shabby at all for 4 cores.

must be something to do with crossfire then because it makes a big difference on 7990/7970 and rx480 cf

Does crossfire have more CPU overhead then SLI?  Maybe something related to that?

yes. there is also some kind of issue with over 16 threads in the combined test where you get a better score with a 6950x with ht than on

I have noticed some crazy ups and downs in the combined score.

As long as I beat him, I guess it doesn't matter....irritates me though, that I had to ramp up the CPU to do it.

If you used lod you could destroy any score.  Just wouldn't be valid

Any of you guys know the average for TXP overclocks? I was only able to hit 2076 on my 1080 so I'm pleasantly surprised to see 2126 on my TXP, even if it has 1,024 more cores. Would my OC be considered average or above average?

Seems about right if it's cooled via hybrid.  To be honest, I wouldn't even worry about clockspeed much.  What matters to me is what it produces, if that makes sense.  One setup may run 2200 MHz which results in 200 FPS and another may run 2190 MHz and 201 FPS.  In that example, I'd take the 2190 MHz.   I only really care about the work produced.

So I added a +225 offset to the core to bring it to 2126. I added +240 but it wouldn't budge past 2126 even though it didn't crash. My score decreased at +240 so I assume 2126 +225 would be the max for my GPU?

I would say so. Sounds like GPU Boost is doing what it does.  Taking things too far will often result in a slight drop once you've passed the point of what it determines is best. 

 

You also have the option of manually  setting your own voltage/clock speed curve, which can result in getting more out of the GPU benchmark wise.  For daily use, I find the the normal offset method is best and more flexible for different situations.

I'll check into that more later. Thank you.

Cool it off more, and you'll likely be able to get a little more out of it.  Pascal hates heat....any kind of heat.

It's supposed to be cooler this weekend so I may take it outside at night and see what happens.

Sunday night is looking nice and cool here.  I might do the same.

[VagabondWraith]

So the temps are supposed to be -4c tonight. I just might do some testing then.  Hopefully that's cold enough for Pascal to really push high clocks ?

[Vellinious]

Use the voltage / frequency curve.....it yields much better clocks, and will eventually, when you get the curve set just right, yield higher frames to go with it.
