Lol, you sit & watch the screen for hours??

Thanks :), some I'm familiar with, I use OCCT for CPU testing & it's better than P95, so I don't use that anymore. Heaven doesn't have error reporting for the free version, so I don't know how you would know when an error occurs? (out right crashes aside). Furmark is detected by the drivers as a...

You could tape over half the cooling fan slots to simulate animal hair/dust/other detritus that might realistically build up over time? … or put a cardboard box around the back of the case to simulate the tight spaces the kit might be squeezed into in an overcrowded home-office? … or randomly pull ...

PantherX Thanks for the update to the benchmarks :), totally agree about no point in gathering more for now. So what is the long list of stress tests you use then? ;) I was thinking of using OCCTs GPU stress test, but I wonder if it's artificially throttled as (IIRC) it's counted as a 'power virus'....

Sounds like foldy has volunteered, so that's good with me, thanks .

Is their not an updated version of this thread? I know we're on core 22 now (mostly at least?) & that FaH bench 2.3 only covers core21, but I'm surprised not to find a much more recent benchmark thread. Is that because (as Bruce mentioned on 24/11/19) that F@H uses mixed precision & the benc...

A slightly old thread I know, but I thought I would add that it'd be worthwhile experimenting with under volting as I was able to drop system power draw by 20w just by dropping the GPU from 1150 to 1050 mV! GPU still at 1350 MHz, currently testing it at 1025 mV. Oh & as well as lower power usage...

New benchmark. ATI HD 5850 1GB, stock clocks, Cat 13.1, Win 7 64 bit, FaH Bench v1.2 - verify accuracy on Open CL, SP Explicit 11.1046 ns/day Implicit 45.1101 ns/day Open CL, DP Explicit 3.66112 ns/day Implicit 6.30671 ns/day Going to run it on my C2Q @3.6 GHz too, think that might take a while so i...

Re old thread, that's not what I meant, I meant I hadn't realised someone else had started it.
My 260 isn't o/ced (yet) btw.

I guess fahbench needs CC 2.0 then seeing as I got the previously mentioned error? Re speed up v1.0 vs v1.2, I guess that my 260 numbers vs yours were close because 260s can't use core 17? I just discovered the 260 I have is a 55nm version ('only' had it a year or so, lol), so I'm guessing that shou...

No probs, & thx for the link :), I see the numbers are fairly close, was your 260 a c216 version or 192? The numbers of cores makes quite a difference, worth adding that in the listing I reckon. Btw you never added your 260 to the list in that old thread. Is there much difference in the stats be...

Ah ok thx

Couldn't run DP on my 260 anyway , I'm sure it supports it though.......
I've pasted the error messages in my previous post.

Well I can't find out if my GTX 260 c216 does support O CL 1.1 or not *shrug*, so seeing as no one's given a benchmark for this oldie I will ;). Btw don't you want DP figures as well as SP? A lot of people seem to be posting SP only. GTX 260 c216 (verify accuracy on, drivers 327.23) Single Precision...
