Unigine Heaven Benchmark

[Quelian]

My current specs:

Razer Blade Stealth - i7-7500U, GTX 1080 (Gaming Box), 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, Win 10

I ran Heaven with everything on the highest possible settings at 1080p, and my score was as follows:

FPS: 80.0
Score: 2037
Min FPS: 22.8
Max FPS: 144.5

Is this is a respectable score? Is my laptop CPU bottlenecking my 1080 card (connected via Thunderbolt) a lot?

Feel free to post your own specs and scores too!

It's ok all the things considered. More than the cpu holding you back, it's simply the Thunderbolt that is holding the 1080 back.

Thunderbolt (And USB3.1) are just too slow for anything equal to or higher than 1070.

I didn't know that. That sucks! Although to be fair I have managed to max out any game I've thrown at the Gaming Box at 1080p, and also play some games at 2K just fine, which is all I was hoping for when I made the purchase. Seems like eGPU's although definitely a step in the right direction in some way, still has a long way to go.

Sadly, you loose about 30% performance with those external boxes over thunderbolt, saying that, the CPU will hold back the card and gaming performance with its 2 cores and relitively low clock speeds.

Edit.
Heh I just tortured my htpc (3570k with a gtx670) to do a test and came in around 800 points 20 low, 50max average of 25fps lol, the fans on the ageing 670 with limited airflow these days did not like it, the card hit 90c!
