DDR3 is VERY strong > Corsair 4GB DDR3 + E6700 + Gigabyte P35T-DQ6 superpi & 3D tests

[dinos22]

4GHz SuperPi Tests

1M 800MHz 7-6-5-20 2T 1.93v 2T 12.594s (with stock timings ~12.625 was slowest run i saw)


bit faster 1M 800MHz 7-6-5-20 2T 1.93v 2T 12.578s


500MHz FSB helps a bit 1M 800MHz 7-6-5-20 2T 1.93v 2T 12.562s


32M 800MHz 7-6-5-20 2T 1.93v 2T 12m 16.485s


32M 800MHz 7-6-5-20 2T 1.93v 2T 12m 13.453s


FSB=500MHz helps again wink 32M 800MHz 7-6-5-20 2T 1.93v 2T 12m 03.969s



How does this motherboard fair against the Asus P5B DLX i tested this CPU on last time which was a great CPU OCer

4150MHz 32M SuperPi but with much faster time this time round as Asus was suffering from crappy RAM ratios and this is another massive advantage DDR3 brings >>> YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO STUGGLE WITH RAM RATIOS AND SPEEDS WITH MASSIVE FSB OCs



well it's exactly the same......extremely solid board this gigabyte i am really shocked how much better it is that the old P965 ds3 crap heheh

3D TESTING with 8800GTS 320MB @649-999

woot my old card is alive again heheh

some lovely 3DMARK Scores
E6700 > 4Ghz
DDR3 > 800MHz 7-6-5-18 1.93v 2T
8800GTS 320MB > 649/999 163.44 driver


3DMARK01 - 69649 points


3DMARK03 - 40423 points


3DMARK05 - 20675 points


3DMARK05 - 11857 points


AQUAMARK03 - 219964 point EEK


PCMARK05 - 9835 points (single drive too wow)



PBs all round for me except for '06 as i've gotten a fair bit more points due to extra 2xcores heh

LAST RESERVE FOR JUST IN CASE

HELL THERE IS STILL SOME MORE GFX TWEAKING, QUAD CLOCKING

ERRRRRRRRRR AND SOME SUBZERO ACTION TO COME WITH MY BLACKBOX ROTARY

Nice benches.

I just hate thinking about springing for the ram when I have so much cheap DDR2 laying around.

[dinos22]

yup cost always plays a role for mainstream but XS is a different story
gains in lots of benchmarks can be seen.......

[dinos22]

got a new bios to test F4a will see how that goes


also spotted an interesting thing while benching

i had a couple of CPUs lying around on the keyboard or whatnot and noticed the difference between them

check it out

left one is celeron 460 and right one quad core Q6600



looks like the PCB is different on the quads

Nice results

DDR3 is VERY strong

And ****ing expensive too

[jugeen]

nice scores dino!

[strange|ife]

nice results man.

that memory looks very nice, 2GB sticks with sub 8 timings..thats pretty damn impressive

now only if the stuff would drop to a sane price

[dinos22]

holy... these are 2x2GB kits?!

i don't even want to ask how much these would cost right now...

holy = amazing, unbelievable

yup 4GB of ddr3 micron IC goodness

Nice results



And ****ing expensive too

thanks

nice scores dino!

thanks man

nice results man.

that memory looks very nice, 2GB sticks with sub 8 timings..thats pretty damn impressive

now only if the stuff would drop to a sane price

yeah that's what i'm thinking

i've tested it now on a couple of boards and even on boards that don't officially support this ram at stock timings and speeds it did them without any pain whatsoever

i even managed to tighten it real nice

i didn't want to bother with CAS8 as it makes no difference to me ...... cas7 is where the performance is at with DDR3 i think....some benchmarks may also benefit from 6-5-5 but i reckon high clocking 7-6-5 is the way to go much like 4-4-4-x on DDR2

next thing i want to check is how low the vdimm will go for stock timings and speed.......

[nachthymnen]

Wow!
I love those ram!!!
