Performance - dGPU GTX 780 SLI Multi-GPU Gaming with 3DMark

Performance - dGPU GTX 780 SLI and 3DMark

So on this page again we'll have a peek at multi-GPU rendering as well, this time with the GPU stringent 3DMark. Below we have installed two GeForce GTX 780 card in 2-way SLI mode and will start to see if the platform makes a difference at all. We'll compare the Core i7 4820K, the Core i7 4770K and then Core i7 4960X.

By the way, all tests are bing performed from the same OS image (cloned). So drivers, patches etc it is all the same.

Above we again measure the Core i7 4820K, the Core i7 4770K and then Core i7 4960X with GeForce GTX 780 in SLI mode. We test both the Performance and Extreme modes. Interting to see is that 6 cores matter in the performance mode, look at the 4960X go. Once we go 100% GPU stringent and make the GPU a bottleneck in Extreme mode, that advantage quickly dissapears though.

Once we fire up 3DMark 2013 the differences inbetween the Core i7 4820K and the Core i7 4770K remain close to nothing, the 6-core 4960X however does show that it is savvy with this synthetic testing title as there is a thousand points differential.
