The Spin off Smoothness Thread

[Calmatory]

not necessarily. if one system has just one problem then the min will be set low and won't be a good representation. its more of what is happening in split seconds over the period of the entire trial.

Thats why the benchmarks/tests should be repeated to make sure no such artifacts remain in the given scope.

don't for get that AMD Always scores lower on cpu points but higher in graphics scores. scaling isn't always there either with more threads (just one example I could find with close scores. 3dmark06 ain't the best of scaling.)

There is no way one can draw any conclusion regarding smoothness from that. Neither can one draw any conclusions from the CPU vs GFX test results since the other(may it be CPU or GFX) is written in a way in which it flavours either AMD K10 or Intel Core µarch - there is no way to make a "unbiased" test. Look at SuperPI, the way it is written(and ran inside a CPU) (unintentionally)flavours the Intel µarch. It just happens to run better on Intel parts. It must be - "smoother" there.
