Not sure, I'm going to rerun today with 12.11 drivers and see if that helps

RAM speed is too slow and timings are too loose for starters. You'll probably want to run the original version of the benchmark as well, not the latest patched version.

You must not have children

Main download page still has 2.22, for some reason Microsoft SmartScreen filter blocks your link above as unsafe.

lol, it would be somewhat strange having a competition celebrating the launch of a new FM benchmark and having 99% of the results invalid for the FM HOF results due to no tesselation.

You're in the same boat as me, I'd participate if it didn't have the motherboard requirement, seems kind of silly to buy yet another Z77 board when Haswell is so close. I've got both 680 Lightnings and 7970 Lightnings but no MPower.

Pretty sure I'm using 13.2 beta 3 as it was listed on the "approved" list.

Looks like Ivy/Z77 will own this benchmark. Same GPU's and clocks with a 4.7GHz 3930K is almost 2k lower, even though I crushed your Physics score. http://www.3dmark.com/fs/15355

+1,000,000

Since they blew past AMD in the Core 2 days and AMD has not answered the bell for the last 6 years...

Benching and buying are two different things.

The way XS is set up only the OP can reply to the thread, keeps it clean as it keeps conversations to PM's. However one drawback to the way XS is setup is that the OP can not edit his posts, which sucks if you make a mistake when posting.

Looks good, better than the wall of text from the OCAU bunch.

I can help keep it clean if you need volunteers.

I would just copy the XS rules and call it a day. FS and Wanted should be good enough.

+1 I have the same issue with CF and GPUZ, system totally freezes when you try to open it. My cards are only watercooled. :banana:

Noticed today that Heaven is not listed under the "videocard" benchmarks... Was there an announcement I missed or something?

Yes full OS from retail disk no SP's, full OS w/SP's from my TechNet account also. If I try to use an image with SP's it goes into a BSOD loop after the last install restart. AMD is scoring correctly in my air testing, Nvidia is scoring terrible. 3DM05 3770K at 5GHz + 2x 4870X2's = 50,000 3770K at 5GHz + 3x GTX 580's = 22,000 Same scenario for 2x Asrock Z77 OC Formula, 2x RVE, RVG, EVGA Z77 FTW

I've got it working right for AMD GPU's now, Nvidia is another matter though.

Me 2, but I had to disable EVERYTHING to get it to go. First thing I installed after was CAT 9.12

Attempting IDE mode today, but not having much luck. MVE and retail Vista. BSOD at the completing installation step every time

Did you install the motherboard drivers or just the benches and OC apps?

It's working, but is scoring 10,000 points lower in '05 than XP is. I'm about ready to throw in the towel on it.
