3.0 Benchmark Spreadshet

[Kyomagi]

I dont get how i can get a 11k on 2.0 bench but a 6500 on HW?

AMD FX 8320E
8gb DDR3
R9 280x
SSD

Maybe the game has become CPU intensive

Nothing overclocked at current:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5820K CPU @ 3.30GHz
GTX 980 (single card)
16GB DDR4 RAM
SSD

In response to the CPU usage of the game : all along the tests i did, the benchmark only ever used 1 CPU core, and frequency wasn't even @ max. (Big ass i7 5960X 8C@4.4GHz/4C@4.5GHz/2C@4.6GHz here, but it doesn't affect how the game use CPU, it's only ever one core, frequency will not be a good comparison between AMD / INTEL, but the cpu usage is more bandwidth than actual operation on the cpu from the game/benchmark)
But your CPU can be a bottleneck for your GPU.

Regarding 2.0 Bench vs 3.0, did you do both tests today with the same settings (DX9 Maximum for a fair comparison) ?
You can observe a small performance drop with DX11, for a small quality upgrade.

I have not run the 3.0 bench under dx9 yet, only 11 max

First run of DX11 maximum @ 2560x1440 (second image will likely break forum sizing)
