Well, here's some pic's for ya' . . . and a couple benchmarks.







I'm not running Crossfire yet . . . waiting for the bridge to come in.

Will be switching out the Kingston for Corsair Dominator Tuesday. Best I could do quickly with the Kingston is 4.1GGz, which was stable to a point, but not enough.

Good thing I read the text at the bottom of the post, I was looking at the cards and wondering where the Crossfire Bridge was, since its missing.


I can't make out the screenies though for scores on Cinebench or Furmark. (Did you just run the GPU Render Bench in Cinebench or both CPU & GPU Benches?)

with my GTX 470 I get about 34 fps in the GPU Bench, and only about 4.5 Points for the CPU Bench (Core i7 920 @ Stock 2.66GHz Clock, 4 Cores/8 Threads), running the 64-bit version of Cinebench 11.5.


Once you get the Crossfire thing going, since your boss is running the Nvidia cards, and these are mainly gaming rigs, run the Unigine Heaven 2.5 Benchmark as well, uses some of the more hyped DirectX 11 Tessellation features, for the benchmarks.

Heaven DX11 Benchmark 2.5 | Unigine (multi-platform 3D game engine; VR/simulation platform)

Chances are the Intel/Nvidia rig will come out on top, as Nvidia always seems to do a bit better with DX11 Tessellation than ATI/AMD, but its worth a shot, if your beating him in most other benches.

Cinebench was:

OpenGL = 63.03 fps
CPU = 7.12 pts

FutureMark was:

2407 points (40FPS, 60000 ms)

Wow, Cinebench was almost double what I get, and your still running a single 6850 (non Crossfire). CPU has to play some part of that then (or it could be your running Double the RAM I run, plus its clocked faster, feeding the GPU faster), as the GTX 470 is just a notch better than the 6850. 6870 is about on par with the 470 in most gaming benchmarks, wonder if drivers has something to do with it?

CPU score, kind of expected nearly double, since HT on intels doesn't equate to 8 cores on a Quad, but the AMD 6 core with the extra 2 cores, and OC'd would yield better CPU scores for the rendering.

Well I just ran cinebench....

OpenGL 46.23 FPS
CPU 6.44 pts

This is with a first gen I7 920 @ 3.77Ghz (due to hot weather and heat from GX2), also looked like only one GTX260 was getting load.... My point I guess is I was expecting more from that hex and a 6850... You stand no chance against that i5..

(for some reason it is not letting me put paragraphs in)...

I've already beaten him in:

FutureMark
Cinebench
3DMark Vantage
Code Creatures
and a couple others

The only thing he's beaten me at is:

SupterPi

Must of messed up somewhere... That's nuts how you are beating him....

Managed to get paragraphs into post above by using my phone...

[ShyguyXPC]

Wonder why your getting high FPS than I am in that Cinebench, Aaron. Though my CPU isn't overclocked, unless thats the reason for the higher FPS for the GPU bench, seems a bit odd.

are you running it in 32 or 64-bit executable for Cinebench? Wondering if that could be a reason too?

[Aaron_8015]

64bit 11.5... (though the reason is because GTX260s are epically awesome).

Thats a nice looking rig though Sharder... I like the look of those GPUs... Any pics of the competition...?

Try going to:

camera.sharder8.operaunite.com

You should see 2 folders -- System and Benchmarks.

Choose your folder and if you want to see original size, click "original size". (You can also zoom in and have better clarity. )

I'll add the Intel folders when I get them.
