Ok got it, no V-Sync or G-Sync.

essenbe said:

Yes, but you can turn v-sYNC OFF TOO.

Told him already Steve...

Cliff S said:

Make sure all the Xbox crap in Windows settings is also turned off too.

Plus a few other tweaks .....but I ain't saying....LoL

@Kol12 , you want to at a minimum set these in the Nvidia CP



and set you power plan in windows to high performance. Those few tweaks alone will net you some more points while benching

This can add a few points to for bench runs

Wast't sure if you might be interested in this from security bulletin from Nvidia ?
https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answ...tail/a_id/4772

If you driver has been already updated to 419.17, it's been taken care of


http://us.download.nvidia.com/Window...ease-notes.pdf

Security Updates This driver adds security updates for driver components.See the NVIDIA Security Bulletin 4772 for details.See also the section “Driver Security” on page 11 for actions to take to mitigatevulnerabilities.

Thanks for the tips OldMike. I'm pretty familiar with the power management mode in Nvidia control panel as I use that for gaming. I usually set that globally to adaptive but will try maximum performance for the bench software's.

Edit: Oh and I did not have G-Sync on yesterday because I don't even have my G-Sync monitor in front of me.

But I ran Heaven today with V-Sync off and got a worse score that with it on.

Look at post 223 from Dude ....Kol He posted some real good suggestions for you.

To see what the actual power limits, not what +/- percentage go to TechPowerup's VGA BIOS Data Base: and look at BIOS Internal box

Thanks Cliff. The FTW3 does have two BIOS's though so that reading could be from the Master BIOS and not the OC BIOS. Usually the OC BIOS can set a higher power target.

I thought post #223 was yours, I must be tired. Thanks Dude for the tips!
