I figured I had too, doesn't look like anyone on our team has ever run one and until I saw the ad I never knew one existed. Unfortunately I'll need a different system other than my Zen3 to bench it on. I get a Bios hang and compatibility message stating that the GPU bios doesn't support UEFI. I checked TechPowerup and they don't have a modded bios with it enabled. So I'm SOL there
I was able to run 3DMark 01SE and 3DM03, but I am getting a lot of graphic hang while running the bench. I can't install 3DM 05 or 06 as I get an "CPU doesn't support SSE please cancel installation" Not sure what that is about. have you guys seen that before?

well it turns out that 3DM06 runs and it actually runs better than 01 and 03 on this system. The jitter that I was seeing on those benches wasn't nearly as bad and I placed 5th with this card on the bot with default settings. not bad...
Temps between GPU1 and 2 are close, but the one by the connector seems to be 1-2 degrees hotter. I might re-tim this GPU and see what that does to the temps.
with 3DM06 at stock I clocked up to 68 degrees..

If you are installing 3dmark01 on W10, you need to install with compatibility mode for Windows 98. Do the same for the run exe also as admin.
I try and run the desktop the same as the benchmark resolution. In some cases it seems to help with scores and tearing. Run with triple buffering off in driver for bench or global, which ever works or use NV inspector. Lower the level of detail as well.

Thanks, will try that. adjusting LOD now with 3DM06 (Lowering) and seeing how that will go. the latest version of nVidia inspector is trash. you can't adjust the driver settings like LOD. I had to revert to my older version to get those settings. Granted my version only allows +/-3.0... I'm trying to remember how to go lower.
I thought I recalled 3DM 03/05/06 likes something like -5

To get LOD working Vin, you want to set Antialiasing-transparency Supersampling to = 8x sparse grid supersampling. (If not 8x try 4x)
(Done in NV-inspector)

Nope.
AA mode replay ALL.
APPLY.
Then set desired LOD.
And apply
Reboot.
All set.

ah, for LOD you need to reboot between changing that setting?
I don't remember having to do that before.

Try both Vin AA_REPLAY_MODE_ALL and big Lod will give you a big boost in Heaven DX11 some other benches Sparse Grid Supersampling is better.

She's been re-timed. looked like a gorilla jizzed on the GPU's there was so much of it... came off pretty easy. cleaned up OK.
will give it a test tomorrow and hope it gets better. I might have to look for replacement IC pads though, a bunch of the fiber pads were looking thin and rough. not sure where to get that type though.. and also what thickness....

03 - 4.5 05 - 5.0 06 - 6.0 Newest Inspector with LOD mod is right here.  View AttachmentGoing to 05 shortly, but the LOD on 06 is dead nuts right.. I tried flavors above and below and it just got so very much worst...

Whatever the cpu is you're running for 3DM06, turn off the HT or SMT. It won't scale past 6 cores that I'm aware of either. |

Ya, I think I've topped out on this GTX690.. it's a potato... I'm getting a ton of frame drops in 01, 03 and a little 05. I have a blower pushing air through the fan inlet to minimize the fan ramping up and pulling power.
Temps are not passing 45 Degrees C. If I OC it the frame drops increase. I get better scores at stock settings. I'm now going to try to down clock it and see how that gets me.
LOD for 3DM01SE that I've found best is +4.0.

When the score seems to degrade, close and reopen the benchmark. And if certain it's from increase clocks, needs lower temps + more voltage. A water block goes a long way actually. A lot of benches like the vmem clocks. Top out the GPU then work the vmem. |

seems for Aquamark my CPU is the bottleneck. I'm doing good with this GPU, I can push it more as my temps aren't even hitting 40C... any suggestions I can do for that one?

Top the card out, but the score comes from the processor frequency. Strip down to 2 cores, see if you can squeek in 5ghz additional comment: Do you need help with 2000 and 99max Vin? Right click the installer exe. Run in compatibility mode for W98 and then install. remove the desktop icon and go to Bench folder in program files. Right click the run exe go to properties. Set compatibility mode for W98 and run as admin. Save. Right click exe and send to desktop. All set they should run. |

Yup. Aquamark is max 2 threaded, all CPU. It' likes it pretty, so LOD of 2 is good.
3D Overrider on.
Set Realtime.
Run the bench a couple times in succession. Slot machine principal works on this one.

Seems the frame drops were because of my CPU clock.. when at 4.8ghz I was getting a lot of drops, but now at 5ghz, the framerate is smooth... I never would had thought that.
