Same here with my 7970 ( catalyst 13.1) but I always have had issues with 3dmarks. It isn't life changing for me.

To get close to the 60 FPS target you need a 690 or ARES II (dual 7970 i think) card
Keep in mind this is at the 720p preset

I can confirm that this benchmark has negative scaling with SLI GTX680. Way to go 3DMark!
I would think of if as 60fps Far Cry. It will probably be a few years until an affordable computer can run this comfortably.

30fps is my limit but goddamnit!

Thanks for the tip, I had the last official drivers installed. So now I get a firestrike score of 9697...

Thoughts:
Ice Storm? It's like butter. Though, it does really look like a video game, and that's probably a good thing.
Cloud Gate? I don't really like brown, but hey, it still looks pretty good AND run well enough. Though, averaging at 24 FPS does mean "that cinematic feeling" for me, especially for something non-interactive.
Fire Strike? Prettiest. Slideshow. Ever. Even if it ran at 3 FPS, I don't care, because it's so pretty. It also had prolonged load times compared to the other two.
Also, I have the feeling that this might be the worst result here until someone else comes in.
Protip: SLI profiles are on NVIDIA to release, not the person making the game. If you want SLI to work with the newest games/programs, you have to stay on top of drivers and even beta drivers.

I think the new Cats are unstable. I hard locked too. I've had more issues in the month after installing new Cats than I did for the other past 3 years I've had my gaming PC.
You are looking at 3D mark. They do not care to use resources in any sensible way, they just do it and then your PC chokes on release.
I hear you. Look at Agni's philosophy or the UE4 demo or Crysis 3 SP shots. Look better, already much more resource effiecient.
And yeah, some stuff of old was also really awesome showpieces from a artistic perspective.

May as well post in the correct format for race your PC:
GTX660 SLI @ 1111/1502/stock voltage - i5 3570K @ 4.6 GHz - 16 GB @ 1600MHz - Gigabyte M3 Sniper Z77 - GHG - Everything air - LINK
My physics scores seem a tad low on all of those and it doesn't seem to be detecting my overclock correctly in the run details. Could there be a problem or do those look about right?

Crashes for me too (560 Ti 2GB).
Crashed at the end of the first test, which it blitzed through at like 400FPS. Had to hard reboot my PC. Next time it played all the way to the end of Fire Strike, then another hard lock. Tried it a 3rd time and it hard locked after the 1st test again. Pain in the hole.
Fire strike was a slideshow, but yeah, a goddamn pretty one.
I have no idea if this is related. But, I upgraded to the 313.96 drivers. Played 20 mins of dota 2 and my system crashes. Boot it back up, play another 20 mins, and my system crashes and now refuses to even power on. Going to start the troubleshooting process tonight to see what's what.

Some people are having issues with the system monitoring feature. You can turn it off in the help menu. Now I'm just getting DXGI CTDs instead of hard locks.

It's not detecting properly but I have an i7 920 @ 3.9Ghz, 6GB RAM (3x2GB DDR3 1600), SLI GTX560. 1GB VRAM killing me on Fire Strike but I'll wait until new games start chugging like this before upgrading.

Only one benchmark finished as the 2nd one crashed. Not sure if it's the OC or something else but I will have to try a full run some other time but in the meantime I did finish the first demo...
I feel like I've been getting less and less impressed with each 3D mark release. There was a time when they really showed you what games running the latest technologies could look like in a few years, but in the face of something like Crysis 3 all these tests look kind of bland. Yes there is a lot if pixel shading power required here, but it looks flat and cartoony. Even if it requires a hell of a lot of power, I'm just not impressed with the visuals.
Fire strike is definitely the prettiest looking. I'd prefer if they didn't sacrifice so much sharpness for cinematic bloom though.

Fire Strike had the same atmosphere as the Samarian Demo. Looked about the same
Maybe we'll get something like this on next gen consoles?

FIRE STRIKE 7308
Graphics Score - 7648

GAF-Bench details:
7970 @ 1125/1575/stock - i5 3570K @ 4.5 GHz - 8 GB (@ ??? dunno, I think I set it to 1800) - Asus Sabertooth Z77 - toodles - H100 (NF-F12s) - 7308 (Firestrike) LINK
I'll say the oddest thing I noticed was that the Cloud Gate physics test brought my PC to its knees, whereas it fared pretty well on the Fire Strike physics test.
I'm just happy that my 7970 stayed above that Fire Strike 7,000 score mark which the graph earlier in the thread cited as typical. Happy with that score for a single-card rig (and since this is my know-nothing first PC build with a ropey, GoogleFu-ed CPU overclock and a GPU overclock that amounts to "push all the CCC-overdrive sliders over to the right!").
My results:
i7-920 @ 4GHz, GB 670 OC WF @ +126MHz GPU / +775MHz RAM.
Updating my video card drivers today resulted in a near-1000 point graphics jump for Fire Strike, which was nice to see. The first two tests were pretty much identical to my first run, which was expected. Big fan of this video card. CPU is aging, but it's been rock-solid at this OC since I set it this past October.

Ran 3DMark now.

Lately I've been getting strange beeping noises when the GPU is under heavy strain, like with this test running FireStrike. I think it might be a cooling issue, but I have not managed to resolve it yet.

Definitely something to do with the physics test on Cloud Gate. The 7970 score for the graphics test is fine, but the physics scores are all around 6000 instead of the 8-9000 that the 670s and 680s are mostly hitting.
I think I'll rerun it and see if the 7970 tanks again.
EDIT:
cyen, if you see this, I'd be interested to know more about your settings for that CPU and card. I think you're the only 79xx card in this thread that fared well in the Cloud Gate physics test.

Fire Strike is something else though. Amazing what we can accomplish with real time graphics rendering these days.

This has got to be the most unstable piece of shit software I've ever seen. Most of the time, it locks up while loading. Once I managed to get it to run the tests, then it crashed when it tried to process the results. Today I finally managed (on the third try) to get it to load, run the tests, AND finally give me my scores. Glad I'm only running the demo, I would have been pissed to pay $20 for a program that has a hard time even running.
Ice Storm - 118925
Cloud Gate - 19186
Fire Strike - 5866
i7-2600K @3.4GHz, 8GB DDR3, GTX-680.
I'm not sure my card is really designed to run the low-fidelity stuff like Ice Storm. It hit almost 2000fps at a couple points, and the card started making this weird squeaking sound, that would pitch up the higher the framerate went (I could hear it fluctuate along with the fps counter during the tests). I was almost afraid of hurting the thing by running it at framerates that high.

I'm getting incredibly odd results , I've run it twice , once in 32 bit mode and once in 64 bit mode.
Both times the first 2 tests seem to give me an absurd numbers but the firestrike demo is seemingly under preforming. Almost everyone in this thread is getting higher numbers with it. Also, it doesn't seem to be detecting the correct clockspeed on my CPU- in 32 bit it thought it was 1200 mhz and in 64 bit about 2400mhz . The CPU is 2.8ghz .
Could it be that direct X 11 performance is just that much weaker with a 5870 ?
Ice Storm - 104308 (graphics - 211438 physics- 37611)
Cloud Gate - 17764 (graphics-58700 physics-5163)
Fire Strike - 2268 (graphics-2660 physics- 7198 combined- 724)
GPU - 2X5870 crossfire 1GB each, 850mhz, 1200mhz mem, 9.12.00 unverified
CPU- i7 860 2398 mhz 1/8 processors, 4 cores, lga1366 , 45nm, 95watt
Other- win7 64bit, 4X2gb corsair 667mhz memory, 1tb HDD WD
Is the crossfire support messing it up perhaps ? When I look at the results , the 32 bit 3dmark I ran scored 2600 ish on firestrike but ice storm and cloud gate were slightly lower.

That run was taken with a 3770K@4.5 and the 7970@1125/1575.
13.2 beta 4 or 3, i dont remember.
Here´s a more recente run of cloud gate:

The first test is meant for phones... the horrible graphics should tip you off <.<
The second one is meant for laptops and low end pcs
Only the third one is a traditional 3d mark benchmark.
