Unigine Valley 1.0 Benchmark

After seeing the high scores that people have been getting, I got jealous and decided to overclock my gtx 680. LOL. Never tried overclocking a card until now. So far, I've gotten an increase of close to 10% in the Valley benchmark, which I'm pretty stoked about. I've gone from 40.8 to 45 fps in 1080p in extreme presetting. All I've done is increase my core clock and memory clocks by increments of 25 to achieve that. Using MSI Afterburner, I created a custom fan profile, and my temps are under 70 degrees. Any other pointers for a newbie?
 
Everything maxed.

not to be mean or anything go make a overclocking thread your hijacking this lol :p
 
Phishy714,
did you score 3888 with 1x GTX 680, or was it with both that's listed in your sig? I know it shows x1 but that score for one card seems off. But if it's not, you have one badass video card!
 
Forgot to take a screenshot, but my results for sig machine are:

Stock GPU clocks:
2723
65.1 fps

+90MHz on Core & Mem
2976
71.1 fps

API: DX11
Quality: Ultra
Stereo 3D: Disabled
Monitors: Single
AA: Off
Ful Screen: On

I think the latest Nvidia Beta drivers don't play well with this benchmark yet hehe.

But yeah, I have two 680 lightnings :)

Just did a quick run through, a really beautiful bench! I'll be able to post up a
Score later tonight, nice runs everyone!
 
So I ran many,many,many benchmarks with valley In the process of trying to overclock my galaxy gtx 670 factory overclocked. Currently running with an amd Phenom 955 3.7 ghz.

There are some questions about those Keplers and how to overclock em properly. Here's the log on the bench I scored. If there is no notes it's because it's at mac voltage and max power target. I'm using precision X





Gpu/mem = score on uningine valley with everything max in 1080p windowed

115 597 = 1696
105 597 = 1713
105 500 = 1681
105 400 = 1699
105 350 = 1715
105 350 = 1726-1722 **Stock voltage
105 360 = 1730-1727-1726 **Stock voltage
105 360 = 1679
105 365 = 1727 **Stock voltage
105 365 = 1721 **Stock voltage
105 375 = 1694 **Stock voltage
105 350 = 1681 *1 MV*
105 500 = 1753 **Stock voltage
105 550 = 1682
105 550 = 1724 *110% power target*
105 550 = 1760 **Stock voltage
105 575 = 1764-1771 **Stock voltage
105 597 = 1760 **Stock voltage
100 400 = 1703
095 500 = 1708
092 597 = 1693

So it seems that past 105 on the offset core clock I get unstable when I put some memory overclock in, but when there is 0 mem overclock I go to like 120ish. It seems like the better performance i got was around 570 mem offset. But the thing is that the boost on the core clock isn't always maxed out, on the graph it varies a lot from withing 1250-1293 and I don't know why. It only does that when my memory is over 400ish I was wondering if I need to take that into consideration.

Also, why does the score lower when I app up voltage with high overlcock? why does at stock volt the scored is better? does it have to do with stability.

Temp is always around 60-62C and there is no sigh of artifacts on the benchmark. Can you guys help me out?

Same with my 680. +90 on both the mem/core and I DID see improvement, but when I bumped up the voltage by .1 and went to 110 on the core and 130 on mem, I got a lower score.

2x 660ti @1202/6000. Think i did pretty good.

I got 37.1 fps 1550 score with a single gtx660ti at 1202 so you only got 39% scaling over that. my memory was at 7200 though but still that second gtx660ti does not seem to be doing much.
 
I'm glad to see my 670 keeping up with the 680's and 7970's on here! Let's see some highly clocked ones, I'm interested to see the top end scores on single Cards

I think backlash has posted the highest single gpu card score at 2074, he is about 200 points higher than me at least.
 
I am running 3 7970s in Tri-Fire and Tri-Fire is borked, I get the same score with 2 cards or 3. Im running the latest Beta drivers.
 
Sig Below

FPS: 43.2
Score: 1807
Min FPS: 22.2
Max FPS: 77.9

I have an update to the benchmark results I posted on page 2.

After seeing some of the GTX 680 2x SLI results I was wondering if my min fps should be as low as it was. I ran the benchmark a bunch more times and every time I got mid 30's min fps except once I got 16 for some reason. I also found out my custom fan curve gave slightly worse results even though it kept the GPU's cooler and the fan running faster. Odd. Anyway new results below with same settings and OC as before. Interesting that the min and max fps are higher but the score ended up 1 point lower.

EDIT: CPU is actually at 4.8 GHz, not that it seems to matter much with this benchmark.
 
i did some overclocking on the 660 and came up with a much better score,
BTW, my overclock pretty much matched the [H] overclock in the review.

I got it up to 49.8 FPS by bumping my memory up to 1680. Total score hit 2085.



Again, 3570k @ 4.6GHz, 7970 @ 1280|1680.

I hit 9559 GPU in Fire Strike with those clocks.

Valid result

That's odd that Tri-Fire is screwed. I have an x-fire setup of 2 x 7970s at 1050 / 1500 along with 32GB of ram and a 3930k at 4.8Ghz and I get 5595.

Lol, so im turning this into a pissing match, but a friendly one! Cranked my card up to see what she would do and broke the 50 fps line, haha pretty proud of this card! she sure does rip for a 670. Any other single cards up over that?

 
^^ Nice score, you've a great 670!

I'm all for friendly competition and what I posted is all my card is going to
do on air, so that's it for me.

Currently, this particular bench does do better on nVidia hardware.

It seems like most of the beat down from the bench comes from how it
handles AA. Without it, single 7950|7970s and 670|680s will completely smoke it.

I just retested with the new catalyst 13.2 BETA 6 drivers and got 2085 at 1200/1600(192 point increase). FPS 49.8
