My Lightsmark score

I've been playing around with my new 4870 trying to find the sweet spot and it looks like I have. I started off with override settings in CCC to force 4xAA/12, AS to 16x and AAA set to quality and only got 128.7fps @16x10. What I did was disable AAA entired, put AA and AF back to application specific and got this:


I jumped to 12.7k in 3dmk06 from 11.4. Now I have no issues with running anything now.

 

driver settings @ performance when benching

as you found out: no aa/af
mipmap detail @ performance
disable catalyst ai
vertical sync off

 

I notice you're running 2007. . . what about 2k8?

Sorry Josh, I didn't know there was a 2k8 version. I'll try it and let you know.

Edit: Here you go Josh and all I can say is wow.



On a side note, I just did a clean install of Windows. Had the OneD3D.exe bug so I started fresh and so far so good.

 

^ thats better

if you want to compare.. heres my lightsmark score @ 4870 1gb

q9650 @ 4.8ghz

 

interesting.


EDIT : retested with new WHQL drivers and got 789.9 on default settings

 

i got 499.5 FPS @ 1280*1024

 

4870 scores @ q9650/4.8ghz


q9650 @ 4.5ghz

 

i dislike you... nice scores

 

I don't understand how your scores are so high at 16x10. I'm using 8.12s btw.

GPU-Z seems to have the right info, something I'm missing?

 

lol thanks

yeh i dont post benches to get liked

 

I got fed up with how unstable the 4870 was and went back to my trusty 8800GT. Something has to be wrong with that Sapphire, if I'd have Googled first bought later, I would not have bought a Sapphire. My bad, RMA time.

 

Lightsmark 2.0 (2008) - DOWNLOAD

Sorry for old bench but GK110 (Kepler) is (much) better optimized than GK104 and Fermi!

NOTE: I have tested GTX 670 but I cannot get better performance than old GTX 480 (died). GK104 card was confused! loool

 

IMPORTANT: 32-bit executable (locate the directory "...\Lightsmark2008.2.0\bin\win32") has resolution option but 64-bit hasn't.

 

@ 1080p




Happy? I won't bench again :nerd:

 

1080p running W8.1 with same specs: 2064.7 fps

You beat me by bit! But my CPU is more bottlenecked than you. xD

But try 2560x1440 (DSR). xD

 

Where did you download that bench from?

 

^
He mentioned it 3 posts above when he necro it.

I also ran at balanced power plan, meaning it didn't max my cpu freq.


And I can't run 2560x1440 or 2880x1620, its write protected and doesnt want to create it it says can't run try different resolution, even if I run as admin.



EDIT: this is at high perf. power plan (gpu boost in both cases @ 1254mhz)
