As always fantastic job!

This will be quite a substantial upgrade from my A10 5800k both in CPU and GPU departments.

I did quick compare with my older Vantage Performance score http://www.3dmark.com/compare/3dmv/4931706/3dmv/4457446
Clocks are quite close to yours as my CPU is 4.1GHz/4.4GHz Turbo and dGPU 1000MHz with 2133MHz RAM.

Can't wait for this CPU to land in my Living Room

got a lot more testing to do

**msimax** · 01-19-2014, 12:42 PM

updated with more tests i need to sort out pcmark 8 gremlins and 3dmark2001 not starting for me.

i'm not going to run superpi until i get ram issues sorted out my team sticks will be here on friday hopefully there will be a bios update for performance issues or i can sort out the kinks..

next up is discret card test in CF...

Well the last picture looks almost as my desk when benching/rebuilding my systems! Very nice collection of GFX cards sitting there

I'm now contemplating getting one more R9 290 to put next to existing R9 290 in my not so quiet HTPC (when mining). I have 2x 290X in main rig but occasionally play on one of them as Intel HD 3000 is crap, but HTPC dGPU is used for gaming 100% of time so Kaveri will make my son very happy camper!

I wonder how much KH/s you can get from OC Kaveri for Script mining? I know AMD throw 80KH/s number for stock config with undisclosed memory speed.

for lightman

Thanks mate!

That's awesome! I mean my A10-5800K dGPU@900MHz RAM2150MHz does 58KH/s and can get up to 65 when squeezed really hard! Just to compare it with something mid-range an old favourite HD5770/6770 @940/1300 does around 200KH/s

I assume your clocks were as in the tests above?

BTW I've placed order for A10-7850K earlier on today to join this party, but was notified that the chip will be delayed till next week at my wholesaler

At least my MSI R9 290 Twin Frozr 4G should be with me by Friday

figured someone would want to see it lol

also updated orginal post with 5870 CF tests

**msimax** · 01-21-2014, 11:06 AM

7870cf test up

**msimax** · 01-21-2014, 11:30 AM

im also dealing with gremlins where 1card scores way higher in CF with the 7950s and the 290x im going to try different driver before i rule out cpu bottleneck.

This might be due to one card running in PCIe 3.0 16x and the other card on PCIe 2.0 4x. There is huge gap in bandwidth and the driver might not yet know how to balance it properly.

according to their wedsite should be at 8x 8x and i verified with gpuz.
also sent a bios request for issues im having.

**msimax** · 01-21-2014, 04:00 PM

ok there is a problem its at pci-e 3.0 x8 @ x8 1.1

should be running at gen 3.0 like its set in bios
add 1 to the list lol

**msimax** · 01-21-2014, 04:10 PM

**msimax** · 01-23-2014, 12:42 PM

just received beta bios testing now

**msimax** · 01-23-2014, 01:21 PM

so far with this bios im able to set pcie slot to gen 3
2400 memory div now works
cTDP function added
and overclocking NB above 1800 now works

gotta add the second 290x to verify slot speed but just wanted to note that it works i guess back to testing

**Lightman** · 01-23-2014, 04:56 PM

That was quick with this BIOS fix!

I'm impressed with Gigabyte

Man you already did tons of testing for us, THANK YOU!
Obviously nothing against even more testing!

PS. My 7850K is here .. Just need weekend to play with it!
