Time Spy Results Thread

My days of overclocking and tuning stuff to within an inch of its life at tornado fan speeds for miniscule native res gaming gains are over. For me It's all about power saving, lower heat and as close to stock performance as possible.

My rig passes 30 minutes Cinebench, 1 hour Realbench, full coverage in HCI MemTestPro, done in an afternoon.
My real test is normal usage - hours in sensitive games like GTA V, Warzone, Cyberpunk, all the modern stuff with shader compilation which pushes 100% CPU usage for minutes, etc. No WHEA popping up, no BSODS, runs well. Temps all in acceptable range.

I'm sure there are way more comprehensive tests (and some still believe in the good ol Prime95 for 24 hours) but this worked for me with my previous setup which didn't give me any trouble with gaming and general use. If it crashes I will reevaluate.

Also, I still think opting for Corsair over Gskill was the right choice for my setup. Mainly because even with the improved cooling of the Corsair ram, and with a Corsair 60mm ram cooler at 60-70% fan speed too, I'm reaching 55C in gaming.

Obviously different for another person, if they can get low 50s on GSkill then all good. But for me it would be more difficult due to the big hot 4090 efficiently cooling its core (mid 60s) but venting all that hot air into the case. The CPU also vents hot air in through the front radiator because the top-mounted radiator option would involve all that hot 4090 air going through the radiator which makes cooling an already hot Raptor Lake even more difficult.
My fans really don't make much noise anymore but that's the fault of the overdone loop more than anything else.

If you're happy with your stability then that's cool, but cinebench has never been a good enough stress test to ensure stability.

Having your GPU dumping loads of heat into your case really is a problem because you're running a fan and you're at above 50. My Gskill are all the way down at like 45 with no GPU heat And the air from the front rad doesn't really make it to the ram sticks with my setup.
Edit for clarification: your GPU isn't an issue but might want to look at doing something to cycle some heat out of the case or add more cool air because although not harmful 55C and 60% fan speed would be annoying.

And although I might be biased with my current loop but Raptor doesn't run all that hot. Yes sure Techtubers are having hot runs at stock because at stock there's just way too much voltage being pumped into CPUs vs what they actually need. And during gaming loads there's really not all that much heat.
 
7950X3D and 7900 XTX. Haven't figured out yet how other people are getting nearly 22k CPU scores.
 
No. I'm talking about other people with same CPU getting nearly 22k CPU score, for example:
Higher clock frequency. Almost like they forced it to the non cache CCD
 
No. I'm talking about other people with same CPU getting nearly 22k CPU score, for example:

Managed to get my CPU Score up to 21.7K:
Look I will say this again when you run a 16 core cpu with Time Spy (not extreme just normal Tiem Spy) then disable SMT (simultaneous multitasking) as normal Time Spy do not register a full 32 threads where as Time Spy Extreme do. You will gain more than 1000 cpu marks by doing this.
 
I Must say, its been a long time since we had such nice challenge. @mjclaas we have to do it again.
Just sharing some results.
 
And Its working again (when i heated up the faulty vram chip to be replaced, i forgot to isolate the one next to it so the heat loosened it abit. (nothing a bit of flux and heat cant solve)



Timespy results (update 03/09/2023 decided to do timespy run after being satisfied that OC settings are stable after another time spy loop and some Warzone for few hours this morning)

Link to timespy run



im happy, been testing since yesterday and left it running on timespy loop till a hour ago.

temps and voltage after running the loop for about 6 hours and doing the benchmark




temps is nice doesnt go above 89 degrees with overclock (overclock numbers in the screenshot) and undervolted 1050v and fans at 50% @StangV2_0
@TRINITRON you can close the thread im happy if you are?
This is the incorrect thread if you wanted to update that situation & if that thread is still open. More relevant actually being in the original thread.

EDIT: To be clear it's perfectly fine being here given this is the TimeSpy thread, but if you wanted this to update the situation this card is involved in, then better to update that thread directly.
 
Not sure if this is still going but :D

Time spy standard: 16175
(Had a score of 17212 too but apparently not valid on 3dmarks site, believe this has something to do with gsync 🤣)
Time Spy 16175 Link
Time Spy 17212 Link

Intel i7-10700KF I think I was using the bios auto oc for this? Can't remember
Asus ROG Strix 3080ti Power limit adjusted to 112%

(Side note: 3080ti is way too powerful for a 10700kf 😞)
