Lets get another benchmark thread going, start by downloading the Unigine Valley benchmark and then run it using the following settings:


This benchmark requires DirectX 11 and you should simply be able to select the "Extreme" preset. To start the benchmark once you've got it running, just click the "Benchmark" button located in the upped left-hand corner of the program:


To be considered for "official" entry you need to provide a link or embed a picture of your benchmark scores right after the benchmark finishes. Don't click "Save" and upload the generated HTML file anywhere, just hit "F12" as soon as your scores pop up and a screenshot will be saved to "My Documents\Valley\screenshots".

Your benchmark results picture should look like this:


Tips for improving your benchmarking performance:

Before you start the benchmark:

1. Close all irrelevant programs running on your system. This frees up resources that the benchmark could potentially make use of.
2. Navigate to the benchmark installation directory, enter the "bin" directory, Right-Click on "browser_x86.exe", select "Properties", select the "Compatibility" tab, select "Change settings for all users", set the following options:
   
   When set you click "Apply", and then "OK". Click "OK" when brought back to the "browser_x86.exe Properties" window.

All I did was follow my own tips on improving performance.

[Btcc22]

I'll be back.

I like how even maxed out my 470's run with an average temp that's only 1 degree hotter than your 580. Unfortunately I can't push them any further than what they're at without artifacting and bad things happening.

Take a look at the clock speeds.

That's what I mean, maxed out my 470's are are 1 degree hotter, and you still have room to breath, though not a lot.

Just shows what the bigger fans in those 580's can do!

I'm still not sure if I should buy a couple of waterblocks to water-cool these cards or just start saving for some new GPU's. I think at this point, being 3 gen old, it's better to get new cards.

I don't really know what I'm doing...did I win?:

[Zeph]

Can we just take a 2600k and 580 score and multiply it by 190% so I don't have to run this on my 2600k and 590?

Nice try.
