i try 170 with 3G and the score on game 1 went up like 5 FPS when it started but blue screen follows...
dual core will serious take over single core...
Wow...2.9ghz DC Opty > 3ghz SC Opty by almost ~1000 points ... Nice Find.
Perkam
even faster then 3.1G FX57
wow, thats sick
what drivers are you using Nvidia supports dual cores in the 81.'s
That's sick man....perfect timing for the FX60 too!
nice find there....it's only gonna get better for dual cores......good time to own dual core OpterOWN for me :D
Dude - that settles it... I am getting a 170 or 175.. :) That's a great bit of info.
-47-!, he's using 81.94s....
just remember don't ever buy 0541rpmw
I assume the gains are in GT1 and GT2 ? Bigger improvement than I thought, although I assume this mainly helps in 05 rather than 03. I would imagine Far Cry gets a boost as well.
As the next 3dmark is supposed to be dual core based then it looks like the dual core FX60 (?) will be all the rage ......

seems latest forceware drivers optimised for dual core seem to optimise for 3dmark05 as you don't see that much boost from actual games if you read some of the reviews
i should have my Opteron 170 CCBWE 0544XPMW cpu tomorrow so can also test against FX-57 and Opteron 146 :)
hmmmm if forceware support dualcore on 3Dmark05, then games should got some help too. but i am not really sure about this. just like my name, guessQuote:

The only part of 3dmark05 that is multi-threaded is the CPU test, the 3d test is 100% singlethreaded.
NVidia has been using multi-threaded drivers lately, and with every new revision the gain for going dual core increases. This happens with ANY game, and ANY benchmark... One of the reasons I'm eyeing a new dual core opteron myself, a free boost like that doesn't sound bad to me!
hi
would u be able to run the test again with the 146 @ 2.9ghz?
that way we would get a direct comparison as the FSB + clock speed is the same
and we could work out how many % dualcore has adv

guess2098, can you upload these to the ORB or does the Dual Core Opty come up as an unknown CPU?
yeah very impressive, great news for CPU's.
Is there any news on ATI making X2 boosts in there Cats?
unknow CPU, and cuz i am still in top 4 XDQuote:

Not currently, it's NVidia only... If ATi follow suit it'll be about 6-12 months before it makes it's way to us. Multithreaded coding takes major time, and NVidia has been working on theirs for over a year.Quote:

Nice numbers there. Any chance of showing the Game Test FPS details? would be interesting to compare :)
well testing my Opteron 170 i realised chances of dual core opteron doing 2900mhz is alot less than single core opteron or fx-57 doing 3000-3100mhz, so realistically dual core still has some way before catching single core Opteron or FX-57 for average user
in my case dual core definately beat single..........
i beat my Opteron 144@2900MHz with dual core at 2600MHz and SLOWER clocks on GFX card (ATI X800NP)
Opteron 144@2900MHz single core + GFX OC was 439/1164........5,035 points
Opteron 165@2600MHz dual core + GFX OC was 429/1104.........5,065 points :D
amazing

Nice..Guess FX60 will be new king of the hill for 3dmark 05
as long as they clock OK under phase i guess.........as people are benching their FX57 PCs around 4GHz mark..........but with newer drivers optimised for dual core there's no doubtQuote:

I was comparing my old scores, and found that my old score of 14965, with a 3.3 ghz A64 3700, OCZ VX 4000 at 235 cas 2-2-2-5-1T... and the videocard at 585/1450...
was easily beat by my Dual Core Opteron at 3.03 ghz... 2 gigs of Mshkin PC4000 at 260 cas 3-4-3-8-1T and the videocard only at 513/1370... daily speed.
from what I just saw, I see no reason at all that I can't beat my current best of 15450, with this Opteron 170 cooled alittle better, and switch out to my VX 4000 ram, and get the clock speeds back up to 621/1450...
might actually break 16,000 with this.
weird.
one note though.
CPU score without AMD 64 driver = 8400.
CPU score with AMD 64 driver =7800.
definatly avoid the A64 driver, in this case.
nice results with your one..........tell me what you meant by AMD driver....is that a separate download or a part of nvidia chipset driver package.....i assume it's the earlier oneQuote:

the AMD64 CPU driver is on AMD's website.
supposedly it gives huge boosts to PCMark2005 scores, but is useless for everything else.
so far, it hasn't helped me on anything, and in most cases brought my scores down.
the only other tweak I know of for dual core, is to add /usepmtimer to your boot.ini.
but again, that did absolutly nothing for me either...
so I haven't found a successful dual core tweak yet.
dinos 3dmark05 cpu score can fluctuate alot and isn't comparative by a long shot i.e. here's myQuote:

Gues,can I tell you what PSU do you use?
So, Nvidia multithreaded drivers are really taking advantage of both cores.
Nice
hmm, interesting dual core is really so much better. Obviously my next buy is definitely dual core. The only problem with opterons is cold bug at rather high temps. Was it the same with X2?
:toast:
5.12 driver is a killer dual core driver...........i got PBs left right and centre.......even managed a 30K score with a 12 pipe x800 vanilla card on 3DMARK01 and my PB 5288 point 3DMARK05......love dual cores :cool:
all the cpu tests are multithreaded too.
You were saying? Look at 5.12 Cats;)Quote:
