3dmark questions

[xnoobftw]

1)Is my score affected if i were to place it in my SSD or my HDD?

2)and is the score of 11078 with my rig (in signature) okay?

And i know im kinda cheating but i did the benchmark with an OC (1155/1580) that isnt completely stable so my question is

3)Do artifacts decrease FPS? 

Rig for those in mobile

i7-4770 / 212x /  Tri-X R9 290x / MSI H87-G43 GAMING / EVGA G2 850W / Corsair Spec 03 / Samsung 840 EVO 250gb SSD / WD Blue 500gb HDD / Seagate 350gb HDD / 12GB Kingston DDR3 Ram

1:  I don't believe so on the newest versions of 3dmark.  The old ones used to take loading times into account I believe, but they don't anymore that I know of atleast.

 

2: That score sounds OK, if you had an unlocked CPU you could get higher, maybe you could OC your GPU a bit more, to say 1100 core or 1150 core?

 

3: I don't believe so.

The 3dmark only shows what's the GPU's factory clock

I actually have my OC at 1155/1580 (my benchmark OC with overvoltage maxed out)

I usually run my OC at 1080/1350

Well i kinda got the i7 for like $5 so i cant complain

Weird, my 3dmark shows the adjusted clocks, but doesn't take GPU boost's extra stuff into account.

1 extra thing you could do is change your BCLK to like 103 mhz, that will give you a slight bump in physics score, and make your overall score higher.

Woah your score is really high

What's that?

The baseclock of your CPU, you know how there's a multiplier that usually says like 35 x 100? You can change the 100 part to different numbers for higher overclocks on CPU's with locked multipliers.

But i heard my mobo sucks at OCing though....

You don't have to overvolt anything or anything like that.  All you do is find the "baseclock" or "BCLK" in your BIOS settings, and change it from 100 to like 101, do a test run, if it works, try 102. If that works try 103.

Will i be able to take it far as compared to on a z97 mobo?

Should be able to.

Should be able to.

Idk man bclk ocing seems really risky....
