Upgraded from GTX 970 to GTX 1080. Cinebench scores almost identical.

[good_moleman_to_you]

Any reason why the cinebench scores for my GTX 1080 are almost identical to my GTX 970?

Because cinebench is a CPU benchmark, and the GTX1080 is not a CPU...?

what are your full computer specs?

[Mrchooow]

cinebench is only cpu if you wanna test gpu, try 3dmark

[Crunchy Dragon]

Cinebench is a CPU test, try running a GPU test like Unigine Heaven, Valley, Superposition, or similar

I believe Cinebench lists your GPU as well, but yeah it's a CPU tester. 

 

A better test would be something like Firestrike or loading up any game and seeing if the FPS increase is there.

Cinebench does have a GPU Benchmark, however, it's a useless one, since it focuses on OpenGL.

 

This says NOTHING about your GPU performance.

 

Use Firestrike, Superposition etc. You should get kinda double the points there.

its got a opengl bench too,though its not very intensive and is not very helpfull.
his screenshot shows the fps and not the cpu score

Lol. This is gold.

[shadowbyte]

that's a low score for a 1080, assuming this is the OpenGL test, as my Strix card benchmarks at 134.41 in the same OpenGL test.

it might make sense if this is the single core test and it's an r5 1600/x, but that's a super weird OpenGL score

Cinebench is literally the worst thing to benchmark a GPU with lmfao

I wouldn't worry about being embarrassed, everyone starts somewhere. For GPU I'd use game benchmarks, Furmark and 3D Mark.

WHAT?! FOR REAL? aww fuck, i wanted to put a Titan X in a LGA 2011.... 3.5k cores man

Thanks for the informative replies from some of you. The rest of you aren't exactly making it an encouraging environment for people who are just learning about this stuff, so thanks for that.
