Benchmarking

[Felice]

How do I check my memory is running at 1866mhz and what programs should I download to test graphics card and cpu etc ?

1- CPUZ

2-Intel Burn Test for CPU heat and stability testing

3- HWmonitor for monitoring

4-Cinebench for rendering benchmark

5-3Dmark for CPU and GPU gaming benchmark

6-Unigine Valley or Unigine Benchmark for GPU OC Stability test and also benchmark

I've run 3D Mark and got a score of almost 6000 but it shows the wrong graphics card ?

It says HD 7850(1x) ?

You can use AIDA64 for that. There are a number of way that AIDA64 can give you the figures you are looking for. One way is to open AIDA64 click on Benchmark and expand it then, Memory Read then look just under the top where it says File and View and click on the two green arrows that make a circle and the benchmark will tell you your memory speed and just below that you can check your ratio and what each stick of RAM is running at.

Hey guys, sorry for the multiple posts.

 

Over the last couple of weeks I've put together my first ever self-built PC.

 

I switched it all on last night and for the most part things went well.

 

Windows is installing and everything's running very quickly (I've always use SSD from now on) but I just have a couple of questions.

 

1. When I run 3D Mark I get a score of almost 6000 (using a R7-265 Sapphire Dual-X) but it tells me on the results page I'm using a HD7850. Should I be worried that it thinks I have a different graphics card ?...or is mine just a newer version and I shouldn't be worried ?

 

2. In the BIOS I had to change my memory profile from disabled to Extreme XMP (or something along those lines) for the mhz to change from 1600 to 1866, I saved it at 1866mhz and everything is running fine but just wanna know whether that was the right way to go about it.

 

3. When I connect my PC to my TV at 1920x1080 is doesn't fit edge to edge,  I can just about see the start menu etc but not all of it. If I change the resolution to 1600x900 it works perfectly.

 

Thanks in advance guys !

1. It should be ok. I think the r7 265 is a re-badged HD7850.
2. Enabling XMP is fine.
3. Are you sure your TV is 1920 x 1080?  Adjust the scaling options in CCC to make the image fit perfectly.

CCC ?

[Archangel1994]

CCC often has underscan set to a certain percentage. Enter CCC, ttype UNderscan in the search bar, go to the result and set all the way to 0%.

[TheSLSAMG]

CCC ?

Catalyst Control Center.

[simtransporter]

CCC ?

AMD's Catalyst Control Centre

AFAIK the 265, like all cards in the 1st-gen R series GPUs are just rehashes of the HD7000 graphics cards, but don't quote me on that. I thought I heard somewhere it was using a new architecture, but... I'm not sure. If it's registering as a 7850 then it's probably the former suggestion. It might mean an out of date driver or something. I wouldn't worry about it, seeing as it's level in the GPU scale is identical to the 7850. All they did was rearrange the components to make them more efficient. All in all, not a big deal. If you're happy with it, then that's all that matters.

With your RAM you need to be careful when overclocking, but that XMP sounds like a little Auto function, so you should be fine.

 

With your monitor, Windows is a bitch for scaling. Check the control panel page and if that doesn't work, go into your graphics driver settings. That should sort it out.

I was tempted to say "answers" please be more specific with your topic titles!

Also @Felice please remember to follow your topics.

 

1) the 265 is effectively a 7850, so don't worry

2) yeah, that's how you're supposed to do it

3) check the tv's settings and see if you can make the 1080p image "fit"

[harrynowl]

1) R7 265 is a 7850 that's fine

 

2) Seems fine by me.

 

3) As said check the display underscan/overscan in catalyst control centre.

Thanks all !
