New one already? we get shit numbers in 3dmark 11

Dark Sith · Jan 31, 2013

i guess its to turn on the pain ................

LeGenD123 · Feb 5, 2013

So I will do the honors!

1st run:

Error is due to Forceware 310.90 WHQL not being compatible with this program. Probably newer driver release required.

Fire Strike:

@Ali Kamran

I believe that this program is both GPU and CPU sensitive, so it is possible to get notable performance boost with heavily overclocked CPU.

Also, we can expect (future) driver optimizations to further enhance performance in this program without the need to do anything accept driver updates.

EDIT:
FM staff informed me that Forceware 310.90 WHQL driver does not performs good in this benchmark. Forceware 313.95 Beta required as minimum; noticeable performance boost expected!

opcorn:

I will wait for upcoming WHQL driver release to test again.

I overclocked the CPU to eliminate any kinds of bottleneck for the 7970 Ghz edition. Since 2500k is a little weak for handling the GPU

.

I am a big fan of NVIDIA but you have to agree that 7970 GHz is faster than GTX 680. It took me 2 hours just to install the Catalyst Drivers =P

Nvidia has always been quicker than AMD in addressing driver related issues.

Intel Core i5 2500K still packs considerable punch; overclocking it to 4.4 GHz is not a fair representation of what you may expect from a stock second generation or 3rd generation Core i7 processor:

Don't get too excited! Recent driver updates from Nvidia reveal that true potential of GTX 680 is still being unlocked. You haven't learned anything from recent Crysis 3 tests and this disclosure?

AMD HD 7970GE would perform better in extremely bandwidth sensitive applications only. It isn't wise to jump to quick conclusions on these subjects.

FM benchmarks tend to be sensitive to bandwidth and overclocking; more clock speeds = more score.

Regardless, this statement is from an FM staff member:

Absolutely right. Windows 8 kept on crashing till I did a clean install of the drivers by removing every bit of NVIDIA drivers and AMD drivers and installed 13.1 catalyst drivers though the 13.2 Beta 4 drivers still don't install on Windows 8. Will be installing Windows 7 again to see the performance difference between the two.

There is no competition here brother =). Ill try getting a GTX680 from a friend as well to test 3DMark. But wait for a few days Ill give you results of most of the GPUs tested in a similar test bench without any unfair advantages to any card.

Like I said I am a die heart NVIDIA fan as well, but I love to play around with hardware. Last night when the slow download server finally completed my 3DMark I wanted to test it out.

And as for 2500K, it does bottleneck even a 560Ti when overclocked. In 3DMark processor overclocking only helps in Physx tests while in the rest of the tests in order to make sure that there aren't any kinds of bottlenecks I overclocked it. Wait for a few days, I have 3770K with me, Ill test it again but won't overclock the 3770K.

And NVIDIA 310.90 and 313.95 beta still perform considerably better than AMD Catalyst 13.1 and 13.2 Beta4. I am not degrading your hardware at all, but the fact is a fact that 7970 Ghz Edition does perform better than the GTX 680 as you can see many reviews around the web.

Of-course, in raw power based setting, the graphics card with greater raw power will be ahead. The advantages of Kepler are in certain aspects; GTX 680 isn't about raw power but rather great gaming experience.

If you want raw power then look no further then GTX 690.

I know that the impact of CPU overclocking will be most visible in physics related tests because CPU is actually intensively used in these tests but it may also boost performance in other tests. You can try a test by restoring your system to stock setting to validate this, if you have doubts.

FM 3DMark series benchmarks have mostly been clock speed/bandwidth sensitive; be it GPU clocks or CPU clocks.

It is possible that AMD HD 7970GE may perform better in this 3DMark program due to its greater raw power and this program being sensitive to bandwidth.

Also, the issue of bottlenecks is a complex one. You will always notice performance boost with processor upgrade in applications which are not heavily GPU-centric such as Heaven benchmark.

Ali Kamran said:

No, bro. These drivers have been released almost side by side by both companies. If you look at the release notes of these drivers, you will notice that both companies are optimizing applications for their hardware in each driver release.

It is not about degrading hardware; I respect your opinion. However, I am not in to "many reviews" thing; I am rather in to "important reviews" thing.

Baghi · Feb 5, 2013

I'd like to point out that the Crysis 3 favors Nvidia hardware and the TTR (TheTechReport) article is heavily Nvidia biased as proved by many veteran members of OCN. Also, all the games tested run better on GTX 600 series to be honest.

Crysis 3 benches:

By no means a GTX 560 Ti can give more fps than the HD 7850.

My 0.02 cents. Please do not take it to hurt.

LeGenD123 · Feb 5, 2013

This game is not bandwidth sensitive perhaps.

Anyways, performance in applications will depend upon following;

1. How they have been designed and what aspects of hardware they can take advantage of.
2. Test setups

Applications which take advantage of strong aspects of AMD Tahiti products will run better on them. Similarly, applications which can take advantage of strong aspects of NVIDIA Kepler products will run better on them.

Also, GTX 560 Ti versus HD 7850 comparison isn't black and white either; HD 7850 is available with both 1GB and 2GB video memory sizes and GTX 560 Ti is available in two different specs. The comparison shot doesn't clarifies these differences.

Baghi · Feb 5, 2013

Not much of a performance difference between 1GB and 2GB. The HD 7870 and HD 7950 both are faster than the GTX 660 and comparable to GTX 660 Ti, but in said benches the standard GTX 660 is faster or on par.

LeGenD123 · Feb 5, 2013

At 1080p resolution with 4x MSAA enabled; a graphics card with 1GB of video memory will become constrained in a demanding application such as Crysis 3.

For example:

Baghi · Feb 5, 2013

By default GTX 560 Ti comes with 1GB of vRAM and HD 7850 with 2GB. Whenever a GPU is reviewed, the reviewer doesn't mention the video memory unless it's not default. Another thing is that you said "application that can take advantage of NVIDIA's Kepler", the GeForce GTX 580 is not Kepler and slower than the HD 7950 still performing better than that so yeah, it favors NVIDIA hardware as I said before but it doesn't matter really. I was just pointing out.

GTX 560 Ti isn't much slower then HD 7850 on a whole:

Spoiler: show

Therefore, it is possible that GTX 560 Ti may perform better then HD 7850 in few applications.

Check this comparison as well:

Spoiler: show

Keep in mind that GTX 560 Ti have same number of ROPs as HD 7850 and both have 256-bit interface. Also, Fermi is raw power oriented architecture.
