When test SPI,I965 VS N680i @ASUS platform,who is winner?
platform1



M/B ：ASUS Striker Extreme N680i SLI
MEM ：G.SKILL 2GBZX Dual Channel
HDD ：Seagate 250g SATAII 16Mb Cache
VGA CARD ：8800GTX (old Version)
POWER: Zippy 850WG1
OS ：WIN Sever 2003
CPU COOLER：Tower 120
CPU ：Intel Core 2 Quad QX6700 S7 ES 8mb cache
platform2



M/B ：ASUS p5B Deluxe Wi-Fi
MEM ：G.SKILL 2GBZX Dual Channel
HDD ：Seagate 250g SATAII 16Mb Cache
VGA CARD ：8800GTX (old Version)
POWER: Zippy 850WG1
OS ：WIN Sever 2003
CPU COOLER：Tower 120
CPU ：Intel Core 2 Quad QX6700 S7 ES 8mb cache

N680I
3.66Ghz@DDRII 1120 4-4-3-4 spi1M



I965P
3.66Ghz@DDRII 1120 4-4-3-4 spi1M



N680I
3.66Ghz@DDRII 1120 4-4-3-4 spi32M



I965P
3.66Ghz@DDRII 1120 4-4-3-4 spi32M



RESULT:
if u don't play SLI,I965P is better for u

Nice results coolaler. Do you plan to test a 975 board?

[dogsx2]

Great info as always. Thanks

[xpsentity]

Been waiting for a comparison like this, very nice. The 680 is not far behind though, for sure.

Any plan for 975 comparison?

Thanks for a quick comparison, coolaler

I have a small request, though... We know, that 680i mainboards take advantage of separate PLLs for FSB and RAM, allowing for memory being overclocked independently from FSB - you can choose to go with either ratios (linked mode) or straight key-in of desired memory clocks. Can you show us, how big of an advantage that gives to 680i? For instance, 333x11 but RAM @ DDR2-1200 4-4-4-4.0, if your memory will allow for it?
I would really appreciate this type of comparison

i am sorry my moudle can't run @ DDR2-1200 4-4-4-4.0 stable,if i got some,i will test

[Trice]

Why is one 13m 49 sec while the other is 22 sec??

[dinos22]

Why is one 13m 49 sec while the other is 22 sec??

because one is quicker than the other..............................at least in this brief test

very interesting

That was just an example Coolaler. What bachus_anonym (and me too ) would like to know is how much of an advantage it is for the 680i chipset to have separate PLLs for RAM and FSB, compared to Intel's chipsets which don't?

PS. Nice comparison. Can't wait for 680i vs 975x.

By almost 2x as much? That cant be correct. I mean look at the numbers, its like 15, then 30, then 17, then 35.....etc. Why does it do that?

[ted3]

This is kindof what i would expect after reading Xbitlabs test of 680i yesterday. 975X is still best unless you REALLY need SLI. When looking at those 8800GTX benchmarks one have to wonder how important multi GPU is going to be with Vista and DX10.

Spi 8M 975X vs 680i vs P965

i'm sorry you've lost me there

can you elaborate a bit more

[Lestat]

look at the pictures please.

the top two are 1m Pi

the bottom is 32m Pi @ 965P
coolaler will post a 32m 680i shot when he has it finished i suppose.

[Trice]

Yeah its confusing.

Check out this pic

Notice that the pi scores go up and down? Why does it do that?

[coolaler]

Yeah its confusing.

Oh, alright then Thanks for your time anyway...

Just as everyone else here, I also have no idea what you're talking about All looks just fine, as it supposed to...

[Trice]

Im obviously missing something, I just dont know why it jumps like that.

Ok hopefully this will show you what Im asking.

See how theres a difference in those numbers? Why does it do that?

[coolaler]

U r welcome!
Altought we can choose the frequency of fsb and memory independently, stability is not enough.
at this moment, the compatibility of this board isnt good enough.

Its 32m PI, look at the minute column......

[Trice]

There we go, makes more sense to me now. Thanks!

[zert]

great find, as usual
thanks coolaler!

[exhausted mule]

27's... thats not what i was expecting as a nb only effect.



nvidia must have some serious latencies to have to be able to run sli on that nb. the allocation of data from either card the nb having to work harder i guess would be that factor.. but

wow.

i'm surprised.

[dinos22]

There we go, makes more sense to me now. Thanks!

lol you freaked me out there for a second hehehehe

[gundamit]

Oh, alright then Thanks for your time anyway...

Can you FedEx a pair to him ASAP? DDR2-1200 4-4-4-4.0 not very common but if there's a guy who might have an extra pair kicking around it would be you.

As it stand right now, all clocks and timings the same, 975>965>680i in 32M. But when the general fsb overclock shakes out the I'm sure the order will be reversed. In a month how many guys will be running 500fsb 1:1 on 680i verses the 965 crowd?

Edit: Just realized B_A may have benn referring to the Corsair PC2-8888 V1.1 2GB Dual channel kit Coolaler was testing elsewhere.
