maybe my card doesnt runn dx11...? should be latest version, its through steam. might be drivers.

what card is it? most newish ones should.. maybe try downloading it not from steam as well try going through the 3dmark site and getting it from there might be different.

So I conducted this test lastnight, and the results were very surprising. With ultra 2560x1440, without using software to track an average, I hovered ~45-60fps and nothing dipped below 35-40fps in the heavier action (granted, I wasn't on big servers with huge maps). This is surprising, because most BF4 tests I'd seen of the GTX770 show a 40fps average on these settings, dipping down into high 20s at times, which is borderline unplayable. Granted, that is probably based in a stock reference card, so maybe my Gigabyte's overclocking and the extra 2gb vram (4gb) are a huge help with the higher resolution. Either way, it's comforting to know the game is very playable at this resolution and quality of graphics! Bumped it down to high settings at 2560 x 1440 and without anti-aliasing; saw ~65-75fps average. Very satisfied with the build now!

Yeah that 4GB ram should help out a bit @ our high res and obviously the overclock would help a bit too, 770 definitely a top end card good to see it performing well. I'll play some BF4 with ya over the weekend

Add me. I'll play with yas . Bryndett

Cool I'll add ya

Tweaking my daily overclock a bit, upped the cache clock another 100mhz core so 4200 cache 4500 core will test stability out over next couple of weeks and continue to go up a bit more! The H90 seems to be doing a decent job at keeping things ~70c on bf4 slightly above on synthetic tests which is fine.

Almost 15k for a single card might I'll get there soon and surely :yes:

Graphics still at +150/+200 (boosting max seems to be about 1180 average 1150mhz)

ok so got around to running a few benchmarks on the pc that i built in July. Here are the results with crossifre 7970 and 16gb ram (removed 16gb for results) All test done on 3dmark 11 Pro

out of the box as built in June with old drivers

QeLhO60.jpg

driver update to 13.10 (non beta)

increase on multiplyer (CPU only)

here are the images of the one click genie from MSI. I have not touched any BIOS/RAM/GPU settings yet and would expect this to go way into the 21***+ mark with those and the other 16gb put back in (to bring it back upto 32gb ram)

x38 (3800mhz)

x42 (4200mhz)

to be honest i actually think my scores a little low to what they should be. I also noticed that my CPU is running 3.8Ghz out of the box instead of 3.5Ghz.

standard boost clock on a 3770k is 3.9ghz.. sweet score though.. turn it up a little more :)

lol offcourse....wasnt even thinking of the boost clocking....it could go a lot more with RAM/GPU and some more CPU cranking but no point at this stage and i really should look at cooling

CPU - box fan currently

GPU - Tripple fan cooling each

Case - 3 x 12 and 1 x 14cm

edit: forgot to note that these tests were done on a 42" toshiba LCD

wont really matter what screen you run the tests on as it runs on a standard low res that all screens will handle :) (To keep results the same / fair)

I wont comment on the 3770k as I don't know enough about the ivy bridge :)

Edited by UNR33L

Ivy has been awesome to me so far.. I've run 1.4+v from the day it turned on over 7 months ago.. All the ppl on the forums don't run anywhere nere this voltage on water.. Still loves it.. Much like my engine :) haha

offcourse was just for benchmark details :D

ivy bridge is all kinds of awesome altho not much difference between the 2

I don't know enough about any of these dinosaur processors

/cannonlake

I'm still on the old i7 2600k (what ever code name that one was) & I haven't even bothered to overclock it at all... :S

Upgraded the video card once way back (from 260GTX to 570GTX) & found haven't found the need to upgrade anything.

Raised GPU core another 10mhz P14960, almost at 15k single card not far off will give this a test for a bit

So with the same settings, but now on custom watercooling I gained a few extra points points due to temps being down, I'll be overclocking more soon!

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
