Time Spy - DirectX 12 benchmark test

specialkone said:

My score showed 2088 MHZ, yours 2063MHZ, not far off. But I think that shows the max clock, even if it's just for a second. I'd be more interested in knowing the minimum clock you get during the Time Spy run. Sadly, XOC OSD won't work for me in Time Spy but in Firestrike (longer test) my clock doesn't go below 2,000 MHZ. I suspect your clock is dropping lower than mine, thus cooling/throttling as mentioned. Air flow (750D full tower) in my case is fairly good.

I'm actually wondering more about the CPU scores. Me 4.8, you 4.9 and my CPU score is higher. Maybe throttling/heat as well. My runs at 4.8 have CPU temp in the 60's and the absolute highest spike was 71.

The CPU test in Timespy also works the memory and cache clock. So, faster memory with tighter timings will score better.

Try disabling the integrated graphics adapter in the device manager.

I tried that, but then it wouldnt run at all. It errored out, with an error that looked like it was pointing to an issue within the code. Tried opening the NVIDIA settings, but threw and error about no displays being connected to the card. I think there is a weird issue going on here.

Maybe the quadro isn't set up to run DX12? I'm at a loss there....just a guess.

Hmm...not sure then. Just odd that it won't run at all.

Our memory is similar:



Not that Cliff's score is bad. It isn't. I was focused on that because his hardware is almost identical to mine, except for make of MB, case (air flow) and cooling. We are also using the same Nvidia drivers.

My simple logic would have given him a higher score than mine, other than throttling/cooling.

I ran Time Spy again. This time I used a curve on the GPU OC. The highest curve I could achieve without crashing was giving me about the same graphic score as before. This run (curve) gave me a 2101 core clock but I've seen that with an offset. So I increased the GPU memory from 500 to 550, as Vellinious mentioned to Cliff. That increased my graphic score to 8303.

But in these runs with the exact same CPU OC as I had before, my CPU score is down, now 29 points below Cliff's 4.9 OC. That makes sense to me, but why my CPU score went down doesn't. .

I think I will give up trying to figure it out.

Dude; new Time Spy score 7790.
