Need an experienced user with Valley Benchmark

[z97]

Okay I'll just start off by saying the above to eliminate as much questions as possible.

 

The CPU is stable at 4.8 GHz 

All OCing on GPUs have been done via precision x and MSI afterburner and do not artifact when I run them in other programs such as 3D mark.

I have tested with strix 980s in the past and the same issue persisted.

My old 4790K put out a higher number than a 5820K.

 

My issue is this, no matter how much of an overclock I put on my GPUs... it's always the same freaking result. It's like they don't even read the clock. The only thing that is changing my results in valley benchmark is the CPU overclock. 

 

Is there issues that pertain to valley with x99 platforms? Or is this possibly hardware related (Mobo/ram/CPU)

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Your knowledge would be greatly appreciated!

In high end SLI configs, the CPU is the bottleneck in Valley @ 1080p.

 

A 4790k will have slightly more single thread performance because usually a 4790k can OC further than a 5820k.

The fastest 4 threads you can get is what will benefit you the most usually.

 

 

If you want, try doing a benchmark at 1440p or even 4k @ stock GPU speeds, then OC GPU speeds.  You'll see a way bigger difference there.

Yeah I suppose.

 

A 6700K would out do a 4.8 ghz 5280k is a little hard to believe but i assume it has better single core processing would make sense.
