Thread: What does high score mean? Did I break it?

I don't know that you broke it... I'm sure there's uber overclockers who have beat your score. You're better than 99% of the high end gaming machines though.

With only a 38% increase over "high end gaming pc" running a single titan and lesser cpu... you are almost certainly cpu bottlenecked. At least on that artificial benchmark.

Actually, I am better than 99% of ALL users. All of this means absolutely nothing, seeing how the test runs in 1080p... which I simply never use on this rig. But I laughed when I saw the results as I wasn't expecting to be above the 95th percentile as there are quad SLI, triple Titan setups out there that should blow me away... but my Green Monster seems to be crushing it with the best of them.

That being said, if you haven't run the Fire Strike demo and test, it is pretty impressive. Lots of stuff going on.

My results:

i7-3770k & single GTX 680. Not horrible.

I'll run it when I get home. I should be SLIGHTLY higher than wileE just because of the cpu. But it'll be close I think.

Nerd.

Here is mine: NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan video card benchmark result - Intel Core i7-4770K,ASRock Z87E-ITX

Its only in the 91% range..... but that is because I only have 1 video card slot and with everything at stock.

Uh oh... I think I broke it more.

Actually, adding the third GTX 980 only brought about a 28% gain in graphical performance from these tests, which was to be expected. Firestrike saw gains of 25-30 FPS compared to only running two GTX 980 cards. I won't be keeping them in this configuration for long as I really only bought the third card for the water cooling configuration.

The really funny thing is that with 3x GTX 980 cards, I am pulling less power out of my wall than with the two GTX Titans. My system now pulls about 780w from the wall where it used to pull over 800w with the two Titans. Realistically, the power draw should be pretty close as the Titan was a 250w TDP part and the 980 is a 165w TDP part. It should be 500w on the Titans vs 495w on the 980s.
