Phenom and 3DMark

[hipro5]

George,

don't downclock anything or switch to DDR2 - thanks for the ref. score! now I have a new target again (which is not too far either)

I think my GT3 is too low for the clocks (I remember it stutters in the beginning of GT3). Let me try WinXP. I think I can get it to over 20.5k too.

in any case its still a VERY close match.

I'll work on that 06 number during the weekend.

speaking of latest technology: I think you should try with Vista (for both 05 / 06)

You filthy pron macci......
You didn't tell me that 2k5 on Windows VISTA shines!.....AHA!.....THAT'S why you have benched it on VISTA right?......

I ALSO have stutters in the beginning of GT3 with XP OR VISTA....You should fix the drivers a bit I think.....

With my previus setting on rams, I got 20694 and with more tight settings, I got the below......
ALSO my VGA rams are LOWER than yours....

Take a look at the Performance Level you INTEL guys.....

The point is that you have the possibility to compare fair yet you prefer to do it otherwise. You wanne know who is faster clock per clock in this bench yet you use a factor that influence GT1 and GT3 for sure.

Memory Bandwidth influence a LOT GT1 and a bit GT2.....
Now tell me this..... Isn't Phenom supposed to have INTERNAL MEMORY CONTROLLER that wipes out EVERY Intel rig?......Yes or No?.....
This is GT1 of the 2k5....
Now do you want to compare ALL 3Ds to see how Phenon is NOT doing that well at all?.....

You're right if one would compare what cpu is better for extreme benching purpose ... but then, you would choose Intel just because you can clock it at 5,8G using ln² .

To find out what cpu is better clock per clock, you need to use the same hardware/software .

SOFTWARE used the SAME now......Windows Vista and it seems that it performs BETTER as for 2k5.....

SO we will NOW "avoid" the "SOFTWARE influence" since BOTH benchies where done on VISTA and we keep on, right?....

Hardware: Look my above answer to BeardyMan....

We are testing at the EXACT SAME FREQUENCY/bench/software and EACH system is MAXED out with whatever methods the manufacturer provide us....

anyways, George CAN run the setup at 4.7Ghz on air, while macci is stuck at 3Ghz on air.. enough said at xs.org?

Again that 2750Mhz George compared to Badnizze had 458MHz FSB. That's insane FSB for quads. Try ~333MHz and you have a proper comparison.

"Insane fsb for QUADS" is the 500MHz+ M8....This 428 is peanuts....
