Benchmarking: Geekbench-6 GPU

[J7SC_Orion]

Hello folks 

 

...this thread looks at the relatively new Geekbench-6 revision, starting with GPU compute results for Open CL and Vulkan; I may add CPU later. 

 

I start out with a quick comparative chart and some detail for the RTX 4090; more to follow I hope also from @Bastiaan_NL @Mr. Fox @Sir Beregond @bonami2 and all the other GPU fans here at ExtremeHW - no matter how old the hardware, or what OS you fancy...so smart phones, tablets and all are welcome. Geekbench-6 is after all crossplatform benchmarking.

article snippet from The Verge below...  source

 

 

 

FYI, I used somewhat different CPU/ mobo/ RAM combos in the colour chart below for my early results. The RTX 4090  represents a big step forward even in 'just' compute.

 

 

 

 

...RTX 4090 at 3240 MHz; water-cooled; paired with a 5950X and Asus X570 Dark Hero. Open CL on the left, Vulkan on the right

I'm missing the options you are, but it gave me a validation window.

That's a nice run !  

 

I don't think the options are different, just the way I displayed them which included the screen from their main site. The break-out table (below) is at the bottom of the results page which flips up, otherwise I prefer how you showed it with 'upload successfully' and the 'URL' shown. I also noticed that there is a slight version revision (you have 6.0.1, I have 6.0 from yesterday but will download the new one. In the meantime, an updated run for the RTX 4090 for BOTH Open CL and Vulkan side-by-side...same clocks...put a copy up in the OP to replace the earlier one

@pioneerisloud ...here is version 6.0.1 ...results are similar, though I bumped VRAM a bit per MSI AB screen with this run

 

[Bastiaan_NL]

With the 3070Ti in my main system.
I don't feel like running this on the bench OS though, as long as I need to pay 99$ for an offline version..
So for now it's limited to the two dirty drives that are not stripped.

A good friend of mine shipped me his spare 6900 XT and a GPU block that he never installed so I can have something to play with while I decide if or when I am going to replace my second 4090. Once that gets here, I will do a stock run before I start probing the edge of functionality for that GPU. I haven't owned a Team Red GPU that I have been happy with since the ATi Radeon HD 5870 (threw in the towel for good around 7970 and started wasting my money in the Green Goblin's lair). So, this will be an interesting experiment.

I hope the short time I spent with a 4090 Suprim X that I loved and a Strix 4090 that sucked in comparison didn't ruin me forever. Maybe this 6900 XT experiment will distract me until 4090 Ti drops.

 

Am I just getting old and not remembering, or did Geekbench suddenly become idiotically expensive with version 6? I don't remember what I paid for GB5 (will have to scan my email archive to find it) but $99 for a benchmark seems ludicrous.

"Gamers and overclockers, they'll buy anything" - Geekbench probably, looking at the last couple years.

I paid $18,14 for GB5. I bought it in April 2022, 3 years after release and I have no clue what it was when it was released (minus the 50% release sale discount).
$99 is just insane and too much for just a few seconds benchmark.

That's not the problem, the problem is needing internet for viewing the result. 
I don't want internet on my benchmark OS

...ahh, I understand. Perhaps there's some log file somewhere on your local Geekbench 6 which could be uploaded once transferred to a USB (ie. 3DM)...I will examine this shortly

....congrats @bonami2    how does 'Speedster' translate into French ?

Meanwhile, back on the farm...I loaded an older MPT-modded vbios profile (clocks lower right) for the 6900XT and gave it some beans. No wonder the 7900XT/X series doesn't allow MPT anymore.

I hate newer gpu. Most of those amd card could do 3ghz + if it was not of the locked tdp..... The 7900xt would be 100% irrelevant garbage.

...well, some newer GPUs are alright at > 3.2 giggles  ...I wanted to break the 400000 mark, and it actually happened (after hitting 399974, which was a bit annoying as it was so close).  Good thing @Bastiaan_NL @Avacado didn't talk me into HWbot  (I used to do that...):

...wasn't meant as a serious tease other than responding to @bonami2 re. more recent AMD models' speed restrictions vs. MPT. Besides, the result is obviously posted at Geekbench, ditto for the 6900XT, and the other cards.

 

I also tagged you and @Bastiaan_NL because many HWBotters run these new cards with GDDR6X 2GB chips too cold...that specific VRAM type (unlike its 1 GB cousin) likes at least 55 C to reach its max MHz, yet the VRAM sits much closer to the core than in other models. Said VRAM also cools down very quickly after a second or two at idle.

This may sound odd, but I actually don't own a smartphone (anymore) - I am already online for too many hours...still Geekbench 6 is cross-platform and also works for Apple iPhone and Android smart phones, as well as tablets etc. It would be great if we can get some Geekbench 6 compute results for those as well

We've been talking about that temperature subject on the memory chips. The problem is that you want to cool the VRM and core but want to run the memory at a stable ~55°C to get the most out of it. My blocks are either full cover or core only, so it's always a compromise trying to get the best performance.

...some new RTX peripherals from ElmorLabs could be useful, such as this heater w/a hollow core - still, tricky business with the 2GB GDDR6X chips; I have been lucky with my Giga-G-OC. But to run faster than '+1600' or so like above on VRAM base clock, it needs to be properly warmed up to operating temps.

 

[Bastiaan_NL]

So I ran GB6 on the air cooled 3090 FTW3 with the following result:

As fun as this may be, I think that this is another benchmark where you can use unrealistic clocks (same as GPUPI).
I was running the core at 2280-2295mhz though the actual clocks under decent load from a 3D benchmark are between 2160 and 2200mhz. The same goes for the memory, it was scaling all the way up to +900mhz where I usually sit around +750 for an artifact free image. 

 

@J7SC_Orion Regarding the heater, I'm really curious how much difference it would make on water.
It'll also dump extra heat into the water, which will have a negative effect on the core temperature. For anything colder on the core itself a heater like that is really useful, and probably needed to compete

Have you tried tinkering with the 6900 XT voltage or power limits using RBE and MorePower tools? I am going to be dipping my toe into that and curious if the red cards are fragile or easy to brick, or if they can take a lot of firmware modding without issue.

No I have not.  That might actually give me that little extra 5-10% performance I need at my res, but my card's hotspot gets stupid hot as is and makes me nervous.
