The spaces between realities!
A good utility to bench your system and find out what it is capable of and also test stability on your rig . We had a Unigine Valley thread as well so I thought I would create one for firestrike. :txbcool:

Step 1.
Download FIRESTRIKE which is a 3dMark program: Get it here. It is free for the basic version.

Step 2. It is kind of a big download. So let it finish. After it is done install it on your computer. Log in/or create an account so that it is tied to your results.

Step 3. After doing that run the program from your desktop or where you installed it.

Step 4. Post the results.

Step 5. Profit??

My score running on my SLI/gaming and video editing rig:

Sorry to be bringing up an old thread but I've got some questions/concerns pertaining to Firestrike... hoping you experts can help me out.

I was tinkering with my PC last night by running a few benchmarks, firestrike being one of them. I'm OK with the GPU score but I'm really concerned by the CPU physics results.

It's showing my CPU "maximum turbo core clock" as only 3994 Mhz, wtf? It should obviously be 4.4 Ghz which I'm seeing on all other firestrike scores using the same CPU.

Any ideas on what could be causing this problem? Solutions?

Thanks

Yeah that is interesting. So you have it overclocked to 4.4ghz?

What are your CPU temps like when running Firestrike? Could be the CPU downclocking itself to stay under the thermal limits.

I haven't overclocked the CPU. Out of the box the "processor base frequency" is 4.0Ghz and the "max turbo frequency" is 4.4Ghz. This is coming directly from Intel's website.

CPU temps never exceeded 60c according to msi afterburner so I don't believe it's a thermal/throttling issue.

I played around with the power configurations in win10 and even in high performance mode nothing changes. I'm at a loss...

What motherboard do you have?

I know on some ASUS boards and others they have power saving features turned on by default so the CPU only turbos to a set (usually lower) frequency/multiplier.
I would mess around in the bios.

I have a i7-4790k in my other machine and just by doing a few bios tweaks I have it at a constant 4.5ghz. At all times.

Sorry for the late reply...problem manual rectified through Intel's Extreme Tuning Utility(manual overclock), much better numbers on the CPU end. Thanks for the suggestions.

New bench with a i7-5930k@ 4.5ghz instead...http://www.3dmark.com/fs/7273456

Good lord, those numbers are ridiculous... how much did your power bill go up after adding that pc to the mix? Lol

Nice overclocks BTW.
