Hi guys,

Just finished cleaning a 8800GTX while waiting for its mate and a 680i board to come in.

To see if cleaning went well, I've got it plugged into my main PC. Good news: it works!

Does anyone want me to run any benchmarks for curiosity's sake to see effect of fast, modern CPU? Currently running Windows 10, so it'll have to run on that OS.

Here's 3DMark06, downloading Vantage and making dinner, may be a bit.

So from what I can see, I should take the 5820k from my NAS and put that in my main PC. . . and put the Ryzen in the NAS. Or put the 8800GTX in my NAS? Who knows.

Nah. There's no way an Ivy Bridge is actually faster than a Ryzen 2700, especially one running at 4.2GHz and with much faster RAM. With an 8800GTX, both CPUs are completely video-bottlenecked, so I wouldn't be too concerned about the 3DMark06/Vantage scores. The minor difference in 3D06 is probably due to the version of Win10 that's being used. Win10 seems to get slower running old/legacy benchmarks with each new build.

According to most Ryzen 2700 reviews, its single-threaded, non-AVX2 performance is very close to Skylake, clock-for-clock.

Yeah, I'm not complaining about my CPU!

So I installed Crysis and it runs fine, but the benchmark tool and the benchmark_gpu don't give me results. The tool doesn't load Crysis at all, and the batch file doesn't give me results at the end. Bummer.
