February 13, 201610 yr Hi Thought i'd make a post where we can post some benchmarks of our gaming vms using 3d mark. Post your cpu, motherboard, and graphics card in your unraid box. Then type of bios seabios or ovmf. Amount of cpu cores and ram assigned.
February 13, 201610 yr Author To get started mine is win 10 vm i7 6700, ASRock - Z170M Extreme4, EVGA gtx 960 seabios i440fx 2.3, 8 cpu cores, 24 gigs ram test score graphics physics combined fire strike 1.1 6804 7873 10619 2661 skydiver 1.0 20769 26255 10140 20881 cloudgate 1.1 22187 47923 7705
February 13, 201610 yr I assume you guys are you using the demo for this since its not free, I can't seem to download the demo for free. Gridrunner, are those the specs of your actual VM or the server hosting your VM?
February 13, 201610 yr Author yes the first specs is from the server hosting my vm. i7 6700, ASRock - Z170M Extreme4, EVGA gtx 960 The second is from the vm itself seabios i440fx 2.3, 8 cpu cores, 24 gigs ram you can download the 3dmark basic from http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/2497/futuremark-3dmark-2013-v1-5-915/

Overall it would seem for me anyway i get better 3d performance using an ovmf vm
February 17, 201610 yr Wouldn't it be much better to include the ID or the link to the result? They have a very nice compare feature, so it would be easy to find differences. Example: Fire Strike 1.1 (ID: 8408408) test score graphics physics combined fire strike 1.1 16883 21048 12779 8432 That was from back in August '15, didn't run any tests since then. physical: (c&p from my sig & reverted to around that time) unRAID 6.1 | MB: ASUS Z170 PRO GAMING | CPU: i7-6700K (watercooled) | RAM: 16GB DDR4 (2x8GB) | Parity: WD RED 6TB | Data: WD RED (2x 4TB + 2x 3TB) | Cache: Samsung 830 (256GB) | GPU: NVIDIA GTX 980 TI (watercooled) virtual: OVMF, i440fx-2.3, 7 cores, EVGA 980 TI, 8GB RAM, Win10x64 (10240), 60GB RAW/VirtIO image on cache, no other vms/docker running The 980 ti is watercooled, but with the stock BIOS. So there is some room to improve. I had to switch to SeaBIOS with Windows10 1511, because it broke my gpu passthrough. I think i'll do some tests again, its for science after all But it seems ovmf gets a lot more love in unraid 6.2. I am planning to go back to ovmf and try a custom BIOS for the gpu to remove the powerlimits. I dont have the .xml file from back then, but maybe anybody who posts their result could add their .xml for reference.

February 7, 20206 yr Hello forum.. Is anyone still using 3DMark software to benchmark NVIDIA GPU's on KVM virtual machines in 2020? My score has been in the 8450 - 8500 range with Time Spy DirectX 12. However, since upgrading my rig with the specs below the application crashes intermittently during the "Scan SystemInfo" collection process when running v5.26.

My score has been in the 8450 - 8500 range with Time Spy DirectX 12. However, since upgrading my rig with the specs below the application crashes intermittently during the "Scan SystemInfo" collection process when running v5.26. I tried yesterday to run 3dmark firestrike for first time ever on a z77 and rx 470 with a windows 8.1 VM, seabios based. I got crashing on scan systeminfo as well. So as a sanity test, I installed Windows 10 (1709?) fresh onto bare metal and tried it today and the benchmark ran without any apparent issues. I'm not sure the cause or if it ever worked. I was running unraid 6.8.3, its just on my test rig. I'll have to try and isolate the issue I guess. It seemed pretty stable, I was running heaven benchmark before. The system was having a lot of issues once I tried 3dmark though, not sure if all of them were related. I assume you were running Windows 10 in your VM? I know there is a MSRS fix that you sometimes have to do, I've never done it myself but that seems like a possible culprit to me.
