Unigine Valley Benchmark Scores Thread + SUPERPOSITION ***Over 1000 Submissions!***

Well, I strangely noticed less of a performance boost in Valley, than in heaven.

Also somehow my card runns with 1.232V for some time and then decides to dropp down to 1.212. with 1.232 I had my card running stable with ~1590MHz, well the 5 minutes the voltage stayed that high at least.

Probably TDP related, I would monitor the GPU clocks and see if it drops.

It drops at ~70°C. The GPU clock drops as soon as the voltage drops aswell, but then runns stable without artifacts for hours.

Yeah your at your TDP max so the card has to drop back the voltage and clock speeds.

So I guess MSI afterburner can't override this setting. Well I won't turn up my fanspeed, I don't need a turbine next to my ear.

But, it won't drop even more, even if it reaches 78°C.

Is the Power Target already at maxed?

Each time you increase temps by 1 degree Celcius, you increase the leakage of the GPU, which means more voltage is required to maintain stability (and more voltage means more heat).

 

maybe try removing the side panel or something?

Yes it is at 122% and temp target is at 91°C (because i never reach it)

I have a pretty good airflow in my case, but I will try, just to maybe brake that 1600 MHz barrier

Also quick tip keep the VRMs as cool as you can also will give you better stability.

What would be the best way to do that? I can't install any more fans.

Here's a quick pick of my interior

[Raudi_]

If and only if your doing benchmark runs have a fan force feeding the card cooler air other wise you will be looking at Liquid cooling.

[flibberdipper]

Damn, my score didn't go up.

 

Intel Pentium G3258 @ 4.2GHz (1.100v)
XFX Double Dissipation Radeon HD 7950 (900/1250)
36.6
1532
1080p Extreme HD preset

 

[Zolon]

Well, I'll be dammed, looks like I have to fokus more on my Mermory speed... 1600 MHz core clock and a lower score...

If I had an option to mount one somewhere, still, I'll try, but running open case, only made 1 max 2°C difference

Also, looks like you were right, it was thermal throttling, I just don't understand why it would do so at 70°C already...

Maxwell has a much lower Thermal target then normal from companies like gigabyte.

bump up the core clock some or you could do some tweaks I know of for the driver.

Good to know, I think I'll stay with my current clock, my ram is heating like crazy already and I really dislike having something louder than a hairdryer while gaming, especaly with open back headphones...

I have the same issue my 770's are loud as hell with refrence coolers trying to keep a 300W card cool on a 250W TDP cooler

This card will happily hit 90C and start throttling if I do much of anything to the core clock.

Go to the 3D Aplications Tab and do this for the settings and re run it.

Under Anti-Aliasing: you don't change anything

Under Texture Filtering:

• Set Anisotropic Filtering Mode:Override Application Settings
• Set Anisotropic Filtering Level: 2x
• Set Texture Filtering Quality: Perfomance
• Set Surface Format Optimizations : Off

Still holding top spot.

Sounds about right just needs a screen shot to be put in the spreadsheet.

When I try to print screen it's just a blank page, how are you capturing the screen in bench.

Hit F12 and it will give you a screenshot, Go to the valley folder and there will be a folder called Screenshots.
