Thread: 3.0 Benchmark Spreadshet

Only problem seems to be that my main card still got really hot by the end of the benchmark, it was at at least 87 degrees.

When I went into the character creator it actually went up to 91 at one point when I checked after seeing obvious signs of my card being overheated (flickering in some parts of the graphics) and I had to close it down quickly to cool it off.

I am a bit saddened that at least my one card still runs hot. Haven't figured out how to see both simultaniously since the CCC only seems to let me view performance on one at a time as far as I can tell.

AMD Crossfire is full screen only, use a program like MSI Afterburner and create a custom fan curve profile for your cards.

You can enable the option in CCC to show the Crossfire logo when in use and this will help you test if it is working, then you can disable it.

If you are trying to use Crossfire and having issues I suggest you read this post for some tips.

Thanks for the info man. Kind of irritating that Crossfire only works in fullscreen as I pretty much need to be able to alt+tab out while playing without having it affect the game or my PC and Fullscreen makes alt+tabbing a huge pain in the rear. Really wish SE would add a Fullscreen Windowed mode so that hopefully crossfire would work and I could still alt+tab with ease.

Also.. I mean.. I've looked in the CCC but I don't have any idea how to make it display the Crossfire logo when it's working. I don't see the option for that anywhere though I would love to test this out.

Here is the old benchmark client score



Here are the new benchmark client scores

DX9



DX11

Here are mine

Maximum:


Custom:


1600x900 DirectX11 Borderless Windowed
Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G3220 @ 3.00GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST

Edit:

Just for fun

I'm sure you've already gotten more than enough of this setup, but here it is. I completely maxed out every setting there was (minus resolution)

DX 9


DX 11

My System
Intel i5 4670k -> Overclocked to 4.2Ghz
AMD R9 290X in Crossfire (They are actually R9 290's flashed to 290x's so I'm not sure if they perform 100% as a 290X)

Average FPS @ 2560X1440 was 79 on Maximum Settins -> Which I'm very happy with.
