Enjoy!!


OK all

Rules for this benchmark so everyone should be able to run it
1280x1024 res
Vsync off
4xAA
16xAF/filter
all others @ default

should net results like this >>

http://www.graphicshost.net/images/dmrxwlv4l2wxnk9.png

Heres the rules for gamer/enthusiast settings

1680x1050 res
4xAA
16XAF/filters
Vsync off
All others @ default

if your pc is overclocked or GPU make sure you say so!!
all Mine are currently @ stock settings

[Callidus]

I've just downloaded and as benchmarks go i think we need to set a standard so we can make comparisons between systems, let's included aa/af and set the res to 1280 x 1024 full screen. I won't be takingpart yet as I'm currently running my super duper awesome i7 @ 4.2 teamed up with an Ati X1300 128mb until my 260GTX arrives lol


Cal

[Brad]

We all need to run at the same res and settings and im not sure everyone will be able to run at that. maybe 1280/1024 with 4AA.


*Edit* Cal beat me :) What voltage you running for that clock dude?

[Callidus]

lol jinx !!!!

there we go two people said it. make it so number one !

Cal

[scrivz69]

Heres mine.I could not run it at any higher resolution.:(

[Brad]

Need to use 4AA dude.

[scrivz69]

Lol sorry i will try again.:D

Hope this is better.

[Callidus]

Hi Brad,

I'm at 1.3125 for the o/c a tad high I know but for a C0 it'll do

Cal

Come on Cal give us laff with that card of yours.:D

[UKGouki]

kk will rerun now at 1280x1024 :D will post back in a sec :D

**** my 26" wont support 1280x1024 will allow me to do 1280x720 ill disable that screen a mo and go off me secondary 2 mins

[Callidus]

Come on Cal give us laff with that card of yours.:D

don't think I can tbh, pretty sure that 3D is borked on this, it's kept in my sock drawer for times such as these when I'm "between" cards.

I'll see if I can get anything out of it for giggles n kicks

Cal

[Brad]

Wont download. Both links are dead.

[UKGouki]

there we go 1280x1024 off me 22" lg screen not a bad score tbh :D thats maxxed texture filter 16x i can do 16x aa for a laugh but i heard folks just end up with red screens when doing so :D

use the link i posted in the OP post it does take a few seconds to connect to the mirror server!!

I cant see your scores and the point is everyone uses the same settings...

[UKGouki]

look @ post #10 thats where i posted the 1280x1024 score

Edit: make it easy for you

http://www.graphicshost.net/images/dmrxwlv4l2wxnk9.png

[scrivz69]

That kicked my butt lol.:(

[UKGouki]

its probably cause my secondary monitor has an extremely high refresh rate at 1280x1024 if i run it at 1680x1050 it goes to 59htz same as my main monitor 1280x720 i get 100htz on it lol full hd 59htz its weired lol

[ViRuS2k]

http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/2932/sfighterx2.jpg

All settings maxed out ingame + 8xaa16xaf

I need to get a new graphics card, might buy another 4870x2 but im still waiting on 4890x2 being released, it cant come soon enough.

[UKGouki]

^**** your card really kicks the **** outta mine lol then again its running in xfire mode i wonder waht mine would be in sli :hmmn:

[ViRuS2k]

^**** your card really kicks the **** outta mine lol then again its running in xfire mode i wonder waht mine would be in sli :hmmn:


This game actually has awsome Multithreading useing 99% of 2 of my threads on my cpu
aswell as having great crossfire profileing right out of the box it uses 99% of both my GPUS lol :rocker:

[UKGouki]

yeah i heard capcom been working really close with ati and nvidia for scaling the game even from the benchmark i know it looks and plays smoother on pc than on my x360 im defo gonna by it on pc just for lolz ill even play anyone on x360 version too for kicks and giggles i love sf4 lol

[Brad]

Ah still wont download.

[UKGouki]

Ah still wont download.

weired i would up it but i deleted teh rar file after i installed :(

[gurusan]

1280x1024 4xAA + default settings seems a bit too low settings for a proper bench IMO.

[IMG]http://img13.imageshack.us/img13/7515/capturehqu.png[IMG]

[Callidus]

I agree Gurusan I do think each bench should be split into mainstream / performance systems. as it is if we called 1680 x 1050 with aa/af as a minimum it alienates a lot of folk but 1280 x 1024 is frustrating for users with high end kit as it's not even stretching it's legs

Cal

[gurusan]

yeah I think 1680x1050 with all maxed in-game settings would be the bare minimum for people with mid-high stuff.

[Brad]

Sounds good with me. Most high end rigs have atleast a 22" screen so thats about right.

[UKGouki]

gurusan your aa is not on cause it tells you in the screenie if its on double check you saved the settings you also seem to have vsync off too :-\

look at all of our other screenies all show the res then AA setting :D

[gurusan]

hmm woops. I'll run it again.


And of course I have vsync off....turning it on caps your FPS !

[UKGouki]

hmm woops. I'll run it again.


And of course I have vsync off....turning it on caps your FPS !

yeah i just reran mine with vsync off and aa off an avg 200fps lmao 20k score too

oh and do put shaders to 16x you can tell by the difference in the screenies :D

lol just done a run with c16xqaa and avg 30fps @ 1920x1080 lol

[gurusan]

ok here's te 1280x1024 bench with standard settings + 4xAA

[IMG]http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/951/1capture.png[IMG]

[ViRuS2k]

lol

1280x1024, 8aa16af, all in game settings maxed.

http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/781/1280x1024sfbenchd.jpg

[Brad]

Ok so for those who can run the res lets take this as the correct settings.

http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd157/G-StrinG_album/22sizescreensettings2.jpg


Maybe edit the first post with the settings everyone has to use?


http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd157/G-StrinG_album/SF49204Ghz285clockedallsettingsmax2.jpg

CPU @ 4Ghz and card slightly clocked.

[Brad]

1280/1024-4AA-Default.


http://i220.photobucket.com/albums/dd157/G-StrinG_album/19screenSF49204Ghz285clocked.jpg


920 D0 @ 4Ghz - GTX285 clocked slightly.

[UKGouki]

was already agreed so others could run it 1280x1024 4xaa 16xaf/filters vsync off all others default :D

[Brad]

Well ppl will look at the OP dont ya think for what settings to use? And were talking about ppl who wanna push there rig as 1280/1024 is too low. So we wanna run 2 diff settings.

[UKGouki]

ive added the rules to the op for 1280x1024 its for members who dont have uber monitors i like us i would prefer 1920x1080 as thats my main monitors native res imo but first few reponses were to do 1280x1024 so i agreed to those terms :D

[tundra]

thanks man i didnt know it was coming out on the pc, it was released quite a while back on the consoles
i found a much faster download

Iv'e just run mine at Brads settings and i aint posting them.It was pants.:mad:

your welcome and thanks ill add the gamers **** link to the op :D

[Brad]

Its quite commen for gaming rigs to run from 22" screens and up so will keep everyone happy. If you just edit your post with the 2 diff class of settings then theres no confusion.

ok its done for 1680x1050 res 4x aa 16x af give me a few to sort it :D

[Brad]

Np just post this pics i uploaded if you want.

[gurusan]

brad only nvidia cards can select those AA levels

[Brad]

Ah well maybe the max settings ATI can run then.

[UKGouki]

8xAA is what ATI can run maxxed C16xQAA is nvidia only!!

the settings ive got on the op are more than sufficient for this benchmark yeah a few of us can go higher res and settings but we need to do it so those without quad cores and or 200series nvidia 4800 series ATI gpus can have a nice run too :D

[Brad]

Ok this is Gamer settings as OP states.

Spec in sig. CPU @ 4Ghz, 285 @ SC speed, Ram underclocked.

Gamer setting everything @ stock >>

http://www.graphicshost.net/images/ym7snxwptmi839l.png

[gurusan]

Ok I've just rerun with our "standard" and "gamer" settings. I think the gamer settings aren't high enough as it's quite obvious that I'm CPU bottlenecked :/ There's basically no change in the fps at 1680x1050 compared to 1280x1024!

And my rig right now is:

E3120 @ 4.05GHz
4gb ddr2 @ 1025MHz 5,5,5,15
4890 @ 1000/4600
Win7 64 build 7229


Standard

Gamer
http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/951/1capture.png

[UKGouki]

the point is the higher the settings go the more work your gpu does and you should score less @ higher res unless your running sli or xfire rig :D rules are pretty much the same with all benchmarks standerd 3d mark 06 i can score 14k @ stock settings @ 1680x 1050 res or higher i score about the same on that perticular benchmark as its more cpu dependant that gpu but nvidia gpu;s cheat in 3d mark benchies thanks to physx and cuda drivers lol

[gurusan]

Yeah but I actually get .24 Fps more at the higher resolution......I am only running a single card so clearly I'm severely CPU bottlenecked in this game at 1680x1050.

Good thing I game at 2048x1152 :)

[Crazy BigGaz]

Done on the PC in my Sig.

Settings run at:
1280x1024 res
Vsync off
4xAA
16xAF/filter
all others @ default

just installed Catalyst 9.6 and this is somewhat interesting:


Performance Improvements

Catalyst™ 9.6 brings performance benefits in several cases where framerates are CPU-
limited.

About a 30fps difference compared to cat 9.5 on the 1280x1024 bench:

[scrivz69]

Sorry to be a bit off topic guys,but in both my 1st page posts i got under 60fps,which is poo with my setup.I was playiny FC2 tonight and was running fraps and it wont got past 60fps at all,any ideas if so please pm me as to not ruin this thread.Im baffled.It is like its locked not to do anymore.:mad:

yup disable vsync ;)

[scrivz69]

I aint got it in the nvidia control panel,or im that stupid i can't find it.:(

[gurusan]

it's an in-game option! ..it's called display v-synch in the game settings menu.

Edit.Just found it in FC2 options so sorted,god knows how it got turned on.Its now back to normal cheers guys.

[Andrew Moore]

Cant run it.. keeps crashing :( fps hovers around 320 mind which is good... any ideas on why it crashs?

Andy

[UKGouki]

how can you be getting 300+ fps lol even on quad fire ive only seen it max at 270 something with an i7 unless your running at 800x600 i dont think its possible i would try reinstalling the benchmark and your display drivers

i dont think the benchmark is designed to go that high on fps count try setting the options higher use 4x aa & 16x filter at your highest resolution

[gurusan]

320fps!? what's your setup?

[Andrew Moore]

320fps!? what's your setup?

4.62ghz q6600,
4gb pc2-9200 clocked at 1200mhz (locked) cl5,
tri sli gtx260 216sp 747/1722/2396 (modded voltage in flashed card bios),
intel extreme 32gb ssd.

All nice and happy and cool.

Tempted to go tri sli gtx275 as they clock better than the 280/285 but feel there is no need yet due to larger cards arriving later this year.

on your settings you should be running the benchmark at no less than 1680x1050 res in tri sli i would run at 1920x1080 minimum lol

Yes I know BUT the rules were stated, I was just following ;)

As for cooling, lets just say its very well wentilated. Water cooled on a xspc 360 rad for cpu (3x fan), same for gpu (6x fan). Theres no fewer than 12 120mm fans wizzing away as well as a lovely oversized 200mm roof fan. Makes quite a noise I can tell you.

Andy

[gurusan]

4.62ghz? There's no way you can get a q6600 that high on water :/ sure that wasn't a typo? 3.62ghz?

Andy

lol....i thought WC setups were supposed to be quiet..??, you got 2x the amount of fans as me & im on air....

cpuz of the 4.62ghz quad..??




:)SK

[Andrew Moore]

Oh there is. Ive managed 4.4ghz or their abouts on air with a nasty 650i chipset before. cpu-z as proof! Will hunt out the thread for you, system7 was mighty impressed with my venture into overclocking relics.

Andy

Water colling doesnt have to be quiet, it has to be effective to warrent the upgrade. My secret though is a 120w tec. the tec cools the cpu down significantly but chucks out no end of heat hence the tripple rad for a single cpu. This speed is only for benching and is by no means stable. It only works long enough to run 3dmark vantage on a single loop with bits cut out before the system hangs and locks up. For day to day use I have it at 442x9 giving just under 4ghz.

http://forum.novatech.co.uk/showthread.php?t=9768

Theirs my finest achievement! Was incredably impressed I can tell you!

[gurusan]

how about you show us a screeny right now of cpu-z?

[Andrew Moore]

Showing a screenie now of cpuz would be impossible as im sat on the ol vaio lappy... will get one posted on here at some point tomorow. Needs a good half hour or so of tinkering to get it stable at the speeds for myself to get a cpuz and everything else up at those speeds. Also need to wait for the comp to cool down from todays usage as ill struggle to get it to stop hanging. Ill keep it updated over in that other post of mine as to not spam.

Whilst I appreciate the sceptiscism I do think it became a little repetative and was starting to become a witchhunt. I'd expect the same if I came here and started to say I'd hit 5ghz with an i7

If someone makes an outrageous ( in your opinion ) claim to oc'ing ask em for any evidence by all means but please don't let it become personal and provoking

That's not aimed at any one member in particular, just a general heads up and a request to play nice :D

Right... Got a q6600 coming from a lad round the corner who has recently gone am3... £60.. cant be bad ;)... Will get it installed and push it! Both chips were bought at the same time by myself (save on postage) so hopefully they may be off the same bit of sil... Its never been overclocked so should be fun! If anyone has a quad for sale drop us a bell... its now my third... :rolleyes:

But 5GHz is not THAT outrageous on an i7 D0 stepping, it's been done already on watercooling.

4.62GHz on a q6600 is ridiculous. It wasn't a witchhunt, it's just that when I see blatant lies I try to expose them.

GurusaN, as requested! Its not the same chip which is a shame as it isnt quite as goo however it does boot into windows at this speed but it chashes out so I have taken a lovely 10megapixel image for you! Will have a work at it to see if i can get it stable at say 4.5ish. BUT heres an image as requested of my whole screen, keyboard, mouse etc on the home screen with CPUz on it.

PS how do i "add attachments" as i dont have an online photo holding account and sticking them on novatech website reduces the quality and size dramticaly.

Andy


Sooo... happy?

All updated as seen above. In the process of getting it stable which sadly means going slower. Will run the bench etc when everything is smooth.

1st let me say congrats, that's quite impressive. 2nd, I offer my sincerest apologies...I'm sure you know your clock is not normal at all so forgive me for being in disbelief.

So you have a TEC setup? Only a 120W though? :/

[skunksmash]

i would also like the chance to eat my own hat........:thumbs:

ive NEVER seen a Q6600 up there, without extreme cooling...... is there no way to get it stable for 24/7 use..??, i bet the VCORE required for a stress test would be through the roof.

can you run the 1m superPI..?? :D

again my hat tastes like.......:(



:)SK

[Callidus]

Firstly

Thanks to both Gurusan and SK I do fully understand the need to call such claims into question, I just felt it was getting a bit personal.

Andrew sorry to see the first chip got fried, but gratz on finding a worthy replacement, the odd's on finding two q6's that clock so well are slim to none, I'm inclined to think it's not the chips themselves but the cooling / mobo / ram behind them that allows them to reach such giddy heights.

Would be interesting to see what you could achieve with an i7 based rig, I hope you can get it stable at around 4.5ghz and look forward to seeing you among the leaders in the benchmarking tables

Holy S*** ! mate, that's an insane OC for a Q6600. Congrats.

More to the point, I played Street Fighter on my bros 360 and enjoyed the old school fun. What are the grphics like on the PC compared to the 360?

pc graphics have AA and AF also run a lot faster than the x360 comparing both i as i have it on the 360 with benchmark running on pc it looks and plays so much smoother on the pc :D

Thanks for the apolgies etc, I know its hard to believe and I have to admit most never did believe me when i got it up there! Sadly this chip is only stable at 4.49ghz for benching which is less than the 4.62 I could manage on my other. The only reason I clocked this one to 4.62 was to prove a point which has brought a smile to my face with all of your shocked responses... humble pie? yummmmmm! I could even boot into windows on the last chip at 4.67ghz but it did the same as this one and crashes out leaving the pc solid and unable to do anything other than pull the plug.

I have had some fun overclocking an i7 as i have one myself bar the motherboard that ebuyer are still yet to send a replacement back!!! I managed a healthy 4.91ghz on an D0 920 under the same cooling with little effort. I cant see why I shouldnt be able to push it to 5ghz+ given the time. When I get the mobo back (or if I end up buying another from novatech) Ill get to work and stick some overclocks in there!

Ive had a fair bit of luck with the q6600 managing 4.4ghz on a board similar to system7's running the old 650i chipset from nvidia. Thats my favourite achievement I must say as overclocking that relic truely was an epic ordeal that brought a "proper" grin to my otherwise stern face.

Attempting to run one of these benchmarks as we speak, got tri-sli 260s and the 4.49ghz q6600 running, should prove some corking results!

Andy

[Callidus]

i7 5ghz !

gutted :(


nah j/k with my air cooling and matx tardis like case I'm happy

Cal

[Andrew Moore]

4.2ghz in an mATX case is spot on though! I was using an antec 1200 with all stanard fans and a tripple ran with 6 fans attached + a 120w tec (anything lower and you may aswell not bother, anything higher and the heat generated is that high water cooling isnt powerful enough to get rid of the heat so everything slowly creeps up. Hence the 120w... Theres logic behind my madness and a lot of applied maths to ensure it would work before instalation.) And even then I was on 4.91ghz which isnt drastically higher than your 4.2ghz on air. I havnt yet managed it as I havnt had the chance BUT I cant see why 5ghz isnt out of reach! Ill open up a new thread when everything is sorted with a competion to overclock peoples systems obviously with proof! Ill then base the win on the system that gets the highest percentage overclock overall which would then be proved by custompc's benchmark test?? eg overall you get 1000, overclocked you get 1300. vs someone who gets 1200 then 1400 overclocked. The former being the winner as the percentage increase is larger. Im Going to be putting up my q6600 as a prize. Will launch the comp when I have my i7 up and running again. So if you or any other mod + nova staff think this is a good idea, I'll get on it when the time comes.

Well... Still no luck with this benchmark! Cant get it to run, not even on stock speeds! I had a similar issue with 3dmark06, still cant get that to run! think I'm going to give up on it...

Here is mine, really low result its either my cpu is holding it back or its something else.

I dont think it recognises crossfire. Also both cards stayes at 46 & 54'C

Cpu temp did increase slightly about 4'c.

so the only thing i can think of this is heavily based on cpu and not gpu.

[Pixulated]

If I do this I'll probably get like a C or a D lol

And for teh **** of it:

First run quadfired as the above and got (sorry its just text print screen doesnt appear to want to work :S)

"SCORE: 12614
AVERAGE: 194.38FPS
OS: Windows Vista(TM) Ultimate
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
Memory: 2046MB
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2
Display Setting: 1920x1200 59Hz 8xAA

(c)CAPCOM U.S.A., INC. 2008, 2009 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED."

So 30FPS (~20%) increase - not bad - It looks like the Quadfire sont give any (or a negative) affect at "lower" res but eats 1920x1200 and higher, AA and AF for fun.

I just did a quick 3DM06 run and was getting 110FPS+ @1920x1200 with 8xAA (in the forst test) which is almost exactly the same as a good run at stock settings with a single x2 (i.e 21K).

I cant give you the final score as it crapped out - looks like I need to re-seat the second GFX and CPU waterblocks as the temps have shot up :P

[{SAS}TB]

And just for lols (i thought i better take a pic of this incase is was challenged) 1920x1200 all on low:

Whats is your vantage GPU score? And default 06 score?

[{SAS}TB]

lol - forget what I just said, they just need warming up and abusing :P

At the bench standard :

Sorry Brad - didnt see your post - Vantage wont run (the first test artifacts like a **** - but apparently this is realtively "common" with some ATI set ups) and what setup for 06 ?

[Brad]

The default performance run.

[{SAS}TB]

My best (single x2) run to date is THIS (http://service.futuremark.com/resultComparison.action?compareResultId=10757955&compareResultType=14) - I need to let her cool down again before I do any more runs - hopefully later, although im "several" beers in ATM :D

Trying not to go too far off topic - first succesful 3DM06 run is HERE (http://forum.novatech.co.uk/showpost.php?p=133735&postcount=105) :D
