All right, this will probably be my last Doom 3 post for a while. I'm out of systems to benchmark! :blush: Here's the Win7 result for my 3GHz S939 Opteron system. Not much lower than the 3GHz WinXP score. Win7 doesn't seem to have nearly the same impact on Doom3 as it does on 3DMark01. S939 Opteron …

Time to take the main rig out for a spin. Here's Ivy Bridge-E running at a nice even 4GHz.

A few more S478 benchmarks; a 2.6 Northwood Celeron and a 2.66/533 Northwood P4. There's an astonishingly huge* difference in performance between these CPUs, despite being clocked the same. Celeron 2.6GHz (128K L2, 400FSB), 2GB DDR266 CL2.5, GeForce 6800GT AGP (81.98), i845, SBLive, XP SP3 640x480 …

I currently don't have a permanent 775 setup--the closest thing I have is a s939 Opteron 185 @ 3.0GHz (or 3.13GHz, when I'm in benchmark smashing mode). In most benchmarks it performs just like a C2D E6600 (or an e6700, when I'm in 3.13GHz benchmark smashing mode :P). It's a little too weak for …

Was just messing around with my S478 board and a bunch of different CPUs just to see how much P4 it would take to match a overclocked Tualatin rig in Doom 3. A 2.2GHz, 400FSB Northwood runs neck and neck with a 1585MHz Tualatin in this game. The 2.2GHz Northwood also matches the overclocked Tualatin …

Ooohhhh, now you're tempting me! * Looks at his current P3 800EB/Asus CUSL2-C build and starts wondering ^^ * Maybe I should get the P3 1GHz and GF4 Ti 4200 I have, throw them into the Asus board, install XP SP3, and do a Doom 3 timedemo - less than 1 fps anyone? :-D :lol: EDIT - Better yet, leave …

Back when I had an LGA 1366 system kicking around I did a bit of benchmarking with Nehalem @ 3.6GHz. Nehalem is faster than Core 2 at many things, but 3DMark01 is not one of them. Clock for clock, 45nm Core 2 and Nehalem are roughly the same (both score around 48K in Win7 @ 3.6GHz with a GTX 260 …
