I will post some scores when I get home from work. I ran the test last night and noticed the bench in certain areas would pause for a split second and resume. Anyone else notice this? It happens with Heaven 4.0 also.
Adam he's reffering to your post #49 in page 2 . He means to edit your post and delete the oversized screenshots and repost them in a resolution of 1280x1024 or lower. I think I noticed it. What I noticed it freezed for a slit second and resume.. But I blamed my OC because after that if I remember correctly, my FPS went from like 40-50 to 20's. Might not be OC tho. To me either these 2 new Heaven benches are unstable or my OC. And I think is the former because I just finished Heaven 3.0 with 1228MHz while in Heaven 4.0 I couldn't even bench above 1202MHz.
@ PhazeDelta1 It scales well (~2x FPS) on Intel platforms at least. 3 way and 4 way are another story though and it does require heavily overclocked SB/IB chips to scale acceptably. I don't want to start an Intel vs AMD fight here, but yes your score is lowered by your CPU, as overclocked as it is.
Yes me 3, But i think i found the cause here, it was because of high vram OC. I lowered it from 2290mhz to 2280mhz and it almost stopped (it didnt affect lowest fps). Before I had one low fps spike down to min 8fps after i lowered my OC it was normal with ~ 17.5fps and maybe 1-2 micro 0.1 -0.2 second hitches (with higher vram almost every scene 6-7 for sure and a lot longer 0.5sec or so).
I've ran it with no Vram OC. It doesn;t happen has often, but you can still see it in the GPU usage graph.
I get 96-98 usage on mine, but usage drops down to 20% or so with each scene change.. annoying. also sometimes my first card drops to 50% usage at the base clock.
No, only prefer maximum performance, and render frames ahead to application controlled. Might need to clock your CPU higher, it basically uses 100% of my first core
Hm idk then, could be memory flushing that causes it. But I know it was less pronounced or almost none at a bit lower vram frequency. Heaven 4.0 doesnt have any hickups even at higher vram freq. Btw i didnt see any cpu limitation all 4 cores stayed ~ 30-40% through whole test, similar in Heaven 4.0.
Stunning graphics and visuals! 'Extreme HD' preset results on delidded 3770k @ 5.0ghz and GTX 670 SLI @ 1306mhz
