Yeah fileplanet link still works:

I laugh at the scores SE listed.. I doubt anyone can pull close to 8k now even

Wow, yeah I know my score wasn't even close to 8k the first time around. I'm curious to see what it'll be now though.

randomly decided to test lol

6565 score with:

gtx 680
i7 - 3930k
16GB RAM
2 SSD in RAID 0

so maybe with 2 680? lol if the SLi benchmarks right even.

damn this 2 weeks gonna be hell!!!! This lalafell can't wait ANYMORE!!

That is pretty good.

I still have a gen 1 i7 which i think is holding down my score. I think it was 58xx but didn't write it down.

You need to overclock your Intel CPU if you want to hit 8k with old benchmark.

High res single GTX 680 slightly overclocked with 3930k overclocked to 4.5 Ghz, 2400 Mhz memory.

Low res single GTX 680 slightly overclocked with 3930k overclocked to 4.5 Ghz, 2400 Mhz memory.

Only took 2+ years to hit 8k :)

Actually 10k was hit over two years ago, however it was expensive.
2x ATI Radeon HD 5970 (This is a dual GPU card)
Core i7 980X @ 4.64 GHz, OC

I created a spreadsheet listing people's results:
https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?...kR05zNEE&hl=en

CPU performance hasn't changed drastically since then. What has changed is we can hit 8k high res with a single GPU now. Back then it was hard breaking 5k with a single GPU, AMD 5870 is around 5k high res provided you have enough CPU power.

It's crazy how cpu driven that was. According to that sheet I should be able to pull mid 6k though.

Ya it's CPU crazy, keep in mind that the benchmark has no AA and it's it was standard quality. My frame rate ranges around from 90-180 FPS on average closer to 180 FPS.
