2 wayOriginally Posted by chew*
Thats all fine and well however the point is at at around the same speed on 2 almost identical systems with identical settings the scores and gaming experience and results are almost identical. aka this is apples to apples, not grapefruits to pineapples
I'm also quite aware if I ran at 1280x1024 results would be different but this aint the 90's and not indicative of the real world
Put simply do you think that guy with 570's hitting 150fps on a monitor capped at 60hz is getting any better gaming experience than myself on these 2 rigs?
It's 64 bit win 7 if you haven't noticed the ram quantity, and the game and OS supports DX 11..........
The goal here is not E-peen fps, just a direct comparison at real world settings that most users will end up with for 24/7
btw your link = inconclusive Sli? 2 way? 3 way? not enough details imo
I just wanted to analyze your results because on another forum someone was under the impression that with those tweaks BD would have the same IPC as SB, which still is not true. Gameplay experience is the same, of course. However, at a given price point I would always chose the cpu with more reserves, no matter if I need it right now or not. After all, it's all about BD here and BD is a cpu, not a gpu. I cannot stand gpu-limited cpu benchmarks, because they just don't make sense to me. And who is to say that with a 580 SLI you wouldn't have squeezed out more fps from BD in this benchmark? I'm a scientist guy, and as such I am interested in theoretical potential without any shackles. There are always more intensive games and more powerful graphics cards on the horizon and I also want to know how my component will perform then.
