Alhomme and I spent some time tonight experimenting with Classified tool and 3DMark Firestrike scores and we're quite surprised many of these benchmarks are extremely CPU dependent as well
If you go see the top firestrike scores are all Ivy E and Haswell I7... it is true
we came to the conclusion however that you can depend on the Graphics Score as a relatively acute indicator and surprisingly I can get a very sick Graphics Score when mega clocked (~1400mhz Core)/7.5ghz Memory roughly equivalent to stock GTX 770 SLI kind of speed
Downside though is that I was pulling around 800w for the GPU ALONE at this speed
I tried pushing on to 1500mhz but PSU shutdown.... so need a bigger psu and gonna hoot
Let's all share our firestrike scores here and tips on how to optimise our scores to whack more
