Nice tests, thanks.

Could you possibly show the details of the 3DMark2001 runs? Strange how that suffers so much while the others are dead even against i975.

[Praxis1452]

hmm 965 isn't doing well at all heh.

mee want RD600!

[erwinz]

nice tests.. I think the 956 chips have done great running 16x and 4x on crossfire setup.. hehehe..

[Raja@ASUS]

nice tests andre many thanks!

[zakelwe]

Interesting results, thanks for taking the time to post .

[GrimReaper]

nice results there, so the 965P is good enough for crossfire

[jimmyz]

i never thought 965 would be so close to the others. thanx for the tests andre. i wonder how a 16x 16 board would fare with this same set-up?

[principino1984]

thanks for the test andre!

I don't understand the 01 performance of the rd600...why in this test is so close to the 965 while in the other tests is better then the 975?

Maybe u can throw in this test a i680 board as well..

thanks for sharing

[MTP04]

Good amount of info, thanks for sharing!

Hi Andre great work!
Why not test the Asus Commando with one frequency adapted to its characteristics. All we know that chipset 965 do not go well in the range from 400-500 Mhz. You could make also a one bench at 550x7=3851 in order seeing if he improves? Thanks and good job.
p.s. Excuse my bad english.

[Omastar]

Remind me again what's so great about RD600? And don't say asynch RAM, please.

[trans am]

Wow! 975x rd600

[Revage]

tought that rd600 would be stronger in 3d

[DeDaL]

i975X is greate........

[icon57]

thx for sharing the results.

Was it chipset limitation of 16x 4x on 965 or something else is the problem why 16/4X is made?

SLI is also crap on 965 due to 16/4x :/

[filmbot]

Andre, as others have said great comparison. Nice and clean Helps me with the decision on if Im going RD600 or not.

indeed...

thanks for the benchies Andre.

Nice tests!

If you could test with x1950xtx would be even better, maybe 1950pro doesnt pull enough performance to notice differences between chipsets.
