THE Benchmark Thread

You win. I'm done for a while chasing that 15k. 14995 broke my spirit :lol:

You're on a 520watt BIOS right? Or 500? I need those 50watts.. Port Royal scales so well with power
 
Nah I actually flashed to Gigabyte OC BIOS with 2-pin to get around stupid FTW balancing issues
 
Hahaha. ****ing send it. I've heard of people doing that ****. The FTW3 is ridiculous this generation.

I don't know if the 2x 8pin helps with the STRIX though
 
Nah it won't help the Strix. By using a 2-pin BIOS on the FTW it only balances total load across the first 2 pins, leaving 3rd pin uncapped.
 
Probably set fan speeds to 100%. Side panel off maybe? Depends how low the ambient is in his room.
 
That's Celsius ofc ^

It's a chilly morning, yeh. Fans at 80% (higher makes them bug out with 2pin BIOS). Side panel on, everything else as per normal.
 
You guys should come to Dubai to run these benches. :bleh:
Can someone link me to the FTW3 bios that doesn’t give red lights of death. Also are you gays using Re-BAR?
 
Tried the 500 watts XOC bios w/ ReBAR.

14,365

Amazing performance gains dude! :bleh: So basically Nunz paid $1.58 per point to watercool (assuming $1000 for equipment) and get that score.
My card is seriously gimped though as it doesn't even run 2000 MHz stable in PR. Runs about 2025 MHz in games.

LOL
 
I don't know anyone who Watercool's for performance lol. It's all about the silence :)

Apparently the GALAX 1000w BIOS works for the STRIX. I'll be testing it out later today .. should easily get me 15k.
