    3 new benchmarks, with the toughest of them 'Fire Strike' aiming to humble the current cream of the GPU crop. Full story and download link on TechPowerUp

    I'm getting a 670 in a couple of days so will be interesting to see how it copes with this bad boy:D

    people are saying its CPU restricted though as they gained alot more score boosting a 3770k to 4.5ghz than they did boost gpu and mem core.

    No, just plain full-fat squirrels :eyebrow:
    Oh boy. What will it be this time? Back to dual 680's or possibly 7970's? Quad Ares II? Insert ridiculous exaggeration here? ;)

    I will download this tonight and give it a run.

    Cannot wait to do my new build but still about 12 months away from being able to do it, but my case will be bought once released.

    Just need to save the money for it, as the watercooling alone is going to be around £1000 :)

    Just ran 3dmark it ran all tests and here are the results.

    CPU: i7 3770k @ 4.6ghz

    GPU: Asus 7970 @ 925/1375

    All watercooled (see rig) for some reason it wont recognise my GPU

    Need to check how many cores each test loads.

    I'll give this a whirl tonight on my home system. Interested to see how much MSI and Galaxy is thrown all over it :p

    Gave it a bash last night, doesn't seem to use more than 27% of my i7 so doubt its core related but will crank it up later on tonight to see :)

    my results, would appear I need new drivers or something

    ice: 164353
    cloud: 24434
    fire: 6941

    CPU: i7 3770K @4.5
    GPU: 680 @ 1200/???? +600 (don't recall what that is in total :rolleyes: )

    Will be interesting to run the tablet versions and see what its like.

    Why is the first test so crap on my system. I guess I'll not be competing in this one... unless I find out what's wrong.

    It says in the report that it's enabled and using it though... and it's only that one test that's terrible (GPUs weren't OCed for that run).
