That's one mark I want to hit 6K on the GPU. Nice score.

I was also hoping for 6k but since I saw my max overclock is 400 hundred points away. It maybe harder.

So why are our "X" runs much closer than our "P" runs?

well there is two. Reasons.

one
the runs from p vs x are very different. P is at 1280*1024 which has some to do with the cpu(not to much) and x jumps to 1920*1200 and 16xaa and af calls for nothing but gpu stressing. You well find out that your max overclock might be different from the others.

two.
the scores are lower so it more closer but harder to reach.

p run
me
12000
you
12400
now divide by two
me
6000
you
6200
x run
me
5600
you
5900
ok. Double the x scores
me
11200
you
11800

there was more but my phone is on drugs. Lol

that's why 06 isn't reliable no more because the number is so high from each other where as crysis is more reliable.
getting 5fps average on your card and I get 10fps on my cards.

even though that doesn't seem like a lot. It's 50 percent on the card. Which is tremendous.

same thing with vantage 10000 point vs 10200 is like 3 percent(didn't calculate lol.) which the 200 is a lot to get to but on paper it is a lot. Where as percentage. It isn't.

Here's a stock run of DMC4. Definitely not the greatest results.

This was done with all settings high at 1920x1080 res. Something tells me this game prefers dual-cores.

no. It prefers clock speeds.

I guess that would explain why my x9100 did better. Still the clock speed aren't that different.

I up'ed the proc to 3.25Ghz and scene 1 and 2 were slightly higher while scene 3 and 4 were slightly lower. I either have to try new drivers or the nVidia system wins in this benchmark.

Edit: OK, trying Catalyst 9.11
Edit2: No change with the 9.11 drivers. So now possibly using a program to change the crossfire profile but I'm guessing this isn't going to get much better.
