    I wonder if unigine's Superposition will be the new firestrike as the preferred benchmark?

    Its more like a stress test than benchmark. I liked it very much. Best for testing undervolts and overclock stability on GPU.

    I find games where GPU usage varies a lot to be better for weeding out instability, than synthetic stress tests that just peg the GPU at max load.

    oh wow @theghosts

    so when im getting 25fps your getting 76fps

    pascal was such a huge jump from 9xx series.

    my 970m still plays games at good framerates 1080p and medium, no point in upgrading yet will wait till crysis 4 comes out

    Email submitted.

    EDIT: I wonder if it is because of Nvidia's opengl driver or if there's an actual issue with the benchmark's opengl API?

    OK, I received a reply about the score variation between DirectX and OpenGL and they said it is expected that OpenGL scores lower than DirectX due to some unoptimized portions of the OpenGL Shader Language.

    Expected differential between OpenGL and DirectX is 15-20% though my differential is close 13%.

    Which app are you testing in OpenGL?

    This is superposition we're talking about.

    Got it. OpenGL is slower than DX, I observed it. Only Heaven/Valley have equal/better OpenGL performance in Linux, Mac OS and Windows.
