the benefit to the hwbot version is its made for people who need to run the benchmark and also get good validation screenshots. it basically walks you through step by step, from running the benchmark to getting a good screenshot for validation. but in the end its all personal preference (but mandatory for HWBOT submissions)

as far as having AB open during a run? i dunno, it might affect score/stability, but if it does its very minimal. maybe only relevant for hardcore benchers (like FtW420 biggrin.gif)

Hwbot uses their own front end for the bench, so have to use the front end for a valid hwbot score (makes sure all settings are the same), but it uses an older version of heaven bench. I normally bench for boints so have never run 3.0 before.
With some cards leaving AB open in the background made things a bit less stable, I just got used to closing it every time before running the bench so usually still do when running everything maxed out (habit now). Besides that, less applications & services running is usually best when really shooting for top scores.

From what I gather, this should be good enough.

I'll post updated overclocks once I get my WC loop installed.

In the future, I'd recommend getting Shoprunner's free 30 day trial. Most stuff you get from Newegg qualifies for free 2-day shipping, and you could always cancel the trial a day or two before it charges you.

When any of you 680 Lightning owners gets a chance i would appreciate if your could bench Unigine at the following settings with a single GPU (not sli):

Unigine 1920x1080
8xAA full screen
Shaders: high
Textures: high
Filter: trilinear
Anisotropy: 16X
Occulsion: enabled
Refraction: enabled
Volumetric: enabled
Tessellation: extreme

preferably at the lightning's factory clocks, as well as your best stable OC.
i'd like to compare performance against my MSI 670 PE OC

Thanks

Well, thank you michaelrw, for making me redo all of my tests. I did end up getting some higher clocks thumb.gif

Just want to say, although I'm aware that scores do not matter for this thread, some of the scores in the pics here are lower than usual, since for these pics I was just doing runs for the GPU clocks, so in some I didn't bother OC'ing my CPU. Not bothering with high-score runs until my new CPU comes in and 2.2.3 is out thumb.gif
3dMark11 clocks-

This is the combo of clocks I used for my 12,600 Graphics Score. 1374mhz/7000mhz. I'm pretty sure they'll go a little higher, but I just started testing core and memory separate after this to get max clocks, but here it is anyway.
750
So, now for the max clock runs. Core- I was able to hit a max stable core of 1380mhz. (check out Card 2 idling @ 21C on stock fan curve biggrin.gif)
750
And the last pic, max memory clock. I hit 7.3Ghz.
750
Recap for OP-
Core- 1380mhz
Memory- 7300mhz

Heaven runs will be later. I need to relax and play some damn games with these things wink.gif
