Benchmarking questions

[Drew Learns Tech]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows of (or has done it themselves) good reliable benchmarks for scaling for 480's (in 1-3
configurations) as well as dual Fury's. I was just wondering because I don't have the capital for a 1080 and I want to test AMD's graphics line and see the difference for myself.

 

Thank you.

Heaven Ugine and 3Dmark

3D Mark is usually the best.  Heaven, like all Unigine benchmarks has a bottleneck that forms once the FPS gets high enough.  I've quit using them all together.

For stress testing? 3DMark if you own it, use the stress testing tool. 

 

To see gains? Game benchmarks. I use Far Cry Primal, GTA V, Ashes of the Singularity, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Dues Ex.

Crysis 3. Never forget

I use heaven but the scaling seems to be 100% atleast in 2way. Didn't pay close attention to 3dmark but its pretty close too. With my 7xx and 9xx series cards.

How about websites where others have done this testing already, I am not sure who is reliable and trustworthy as I am rather new to benchmarking

No, never accurate. I've had 5 980ti, and 2 of them scored a thousand points lower in Firestrike than the others while at the same clock speed, but they all performed the same in game.

 

Only use synthetics to test stability, not to compare.
