Great score fella! +repped - thanks for posting it up. Any chance you can provide us with some mark '11 scores????

call of prypiat ( s.t.a.l.k.e.r. ) BENCH MARK comparison 6990M CF vs OC'ed 580M SLI:
Day - 22.9% 580M SLI
Night - 30.8% 580M SLI
Rain - 24.2% 580M SLI
Sun shafts - 43.3% 580M SLI
So OC'ed 580M SLI wins in the average of 30.3% in STALKER! And the difference between 580M SLI stock vs 580M SLI OC'ed in the same game is 14%) -

Still, thats ONE game....
I think we really need to see some stock and OC results for 6990xf and 580m sli for ALL of the futuremark stuff....vantage, 06 and 11.....all set out nice and neat, side by side and then we will see who the real crown goes to.....similar or same system specs would be great too for added accuracy. You cant say either is superior based on the bench results of one game that may be biased towards one or the other vendor.... -
-
Just for reference I post my disappointing 6505 3dmark 11 score with clocks 740/825/1480 and 269.03 drivers. That's going to be it, I call myself out of the benchmarking carousel this time -- I gave everything I had with the 6970CF I formerly owned.

Im beginning to think that 6970 is (or was while it was available) the "sweet spot" for the M18x right now......not just saying that as I have them but from the results ive seen for both 6990m and 580m so far, they arent that great to say the least....impartially speaking, if someone offered me the option of any gpu option (6970/6990/580), I would be thinking of 6970.....which shouldnt be the case, right? - I mean, lots of people were posting up mark '11 scores close to 8k and some just over 8k......makes me think whats goin on here! -

Can you make a run for me please? -

this is my best 11 until now 85K GPU score 838-1100 I need a 2920xm to really make this cards shine

For what concerns the 6970s behavior with benchmarks I agree with you; overclocking and get great scores was relatively doable, it felt they were meant to it. Unless you got unlucky like those few people who got chips that didn't like the slightest OC. -

Yes, for what concerns benchmarking yes. I was expecting to be somehow lower -- since the 6970 got plenty of attention and time devoted to their OC -- but not by that much. So, it was just that. As I mentioned in the former post, playing games the 580m is far superior to the 6970, and that's what really matters to me.

This thread is good for learning what combo's work best be it a PC config or drivers ect......
I took a look at Vestitas run and see that score of 3D Vantage P27643 was with the same XM over clock, 724 838 1448 GPU over clock but noticed a 8.17.12.8019 GPU Driver. Your driver is 8.17.12.6903, Maybe this is a better driver and could help in every day gaming? Thanks Again. -

I think it kinda makes sense. A little. About the 6970s vs 6990s/580s. They have less shaders so there can be more voltage to the core. Which makes a bigger difference I think.

It's too early to draw conclusions

Hey Speedy, this is interesting. Left my memory @ stock and raised core to 830. Peak FPS were not quite as high, average FPS changed very little very close, but lowest FPS were significantly improved. Compare this to what I posted above a few minutes ago.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat has got to be one of the most boring benchmarks on earth. I totally agree with those comments from this morning.Attached Files:

Hi Mr Fox,
I hope your using the above advance settings as well, as it seems Pustul is using the same card as you. Both of you are getting completly different results (huge differences here) which tells me somethings not right. -
Below is how the advanced defaults should look. If Pustul goes back to default settings his results should improve. (If not, then there may be something wrong but I would not worry until we see what happens.) I have some of these settings disabled at the driver level, so enabling the defaults will not even work unless I go undo other things that I have fixed.
-
Cool my results were per pustal settings ill test tonight on default as well and see what happens tnx
-
Yes, I think that there's much room from improvements concerning benchmarks. In the next few weeks we'll see tweaking, OCing and various ways to push the cards to their extremes as it has always happened. My main concern remain high settings gameplay smoothness (where some OC can help).
When you said that it's a better driver, were you referring to the 8.17.12.8019? -
I really hope that fellas with AMD cards didn't use any performance tweaks while benching games like you did with 3dmark11/vantage to get 8k+/27K+ marks?
Nice gob Speedy with Heaven 2.5 run. Lets use this tool for the next 580M SLI vs 6990M CF battle, guys. The settings should be:
here is heaven 2.5 DX11 that benchmark looks beautiful
1920X1080
shaders - high
tessellation - extreme
anisotropy - 16
anti aliasing - 4X
textures - high
filter - trilinear -

Not trying to be fanboyish (note that I have team red in my system at the moment). But I would like to see some realistic DX11 + tessellation performance tests that don't favor either card. Leave it to raw power. Vantage had stupid PhysX to cheat with - granted most people disable it for real bench runs, and '11 uses AMD's bullet physics engine. Unigine might be a solid test to determine the true crown-holder in this battle. -

Bullet is not an AMD tech.....
And vantage with PhysX turned off is a very fair comparison for DX10
And it has been no secret that Fermi is a tesselation monster - that is what they designed it to be -

That's where I got that information from. AMD didn't invent it, but they are co-creators. Unless of course this is false information in which case... whoops? -
Just a tad better on 3DMark11 than before @ P6867

im thinking something is wrong with your 3d11
your gpu score is pretty low -
If you try lowering the core to around the 720 mark then run it you'll probs find your score goes up. -
As you can see the 580m still beats the hd6990m

This is just for comparison with desktop GPU's. 580M SLI stock scores the same as EVGA GTX 580 SC, which is nice)

Speedy Gonzalez Xtreme Notebook Speeder!
so what we have here looks like this bench is pretty equal between 580 and 6990 ? -

Hows the 6970 compare in Heaven 2.5 DX11? What kinda scores to they yield? Havn't had much time to be on NBR except on my phone

would make much more sense to use default....
-
The same way we don't bench Crysis on medium! That's not enough for the GPU's you've got
I don't think you'll need 90fps+ scores)
-
then run this version of it then....that way every one uses the same settings.

If Heaven benchmark were a game, I would use whatever settings yields the highest FPS and put less overhead load/heat on the system.
