**LETS SEE YOUR PILEDRIVER OVERCLOCKS - LET ME START WITH 5GHz+!!**

Hi there


Here is some Heaven results at 5.25GHz though the OC does very little in Heaven in 1080p as it due to the graphics, but the Piledriver chip is certainly no bottleneck:-


Heaven @ 1920x1080 w/ 4x/4x and tesselation on normal!

Heaven @ 1680x1050 w/ 4x/4x and tesselation on normal!

Also the 7970GHz cards are insanely fast, this is an Asus Matrix Platinum at 1270MHz core and 7100MHz memory, wow what an amazing card!! :D :D :D
 
No offense Gibbo...but if anyone got a CPU that's gonna bottleneck graphic card in Heaven, people might as well just bin it...

If you were promoting a graphic card, then I would understand for including Heaven's result; but for a CPU...I really don't see the point.

May be there are other CPU benches you guys could do?

Provide me with a download link to the benchmark you want running and I shall do it. :)
 
Fritz Chess Benchmark v4.3 >> Click Here
Nuclearus Multi Core Benchmark v2.0.0 >> Click Here
CINEBENCH 11.5 CPU test >> Click Here

X3TC Rolling Demo >> Click Here It's old, but this will still test single threaded performance.
When installed setup should be set to run as benchmark
With following as your graphical settings
Change resolution to 1920x1200
To access scores you need to go to - c:\Users\?name?\Documents\Egosoft\X3TC-Demo - overall average framerate should be something like 65, maybe better who knows...

Hope I'm wrong but this smells of a tactic to sell a sub-standard CPU.

Why would we need to do that? We sell Intel and Intel is faster!

Were just sharing our experiences of overclocking the new Piledriver CPU's. This is something OcUK does which our competitors do not, we test hardware and share our findings.

I've openly said we will run any benchmark on the rig and share the results, how is that a dodgy tactic?
 
I wouldn't mind seeing a quick Fritz bench at those clocks to see how it stacks up. I'll be the first to admit I don't know the ins and outs of different benchmarks and how they are biased towards different hardware though, so whatever people think is the fairest comparison would be interesting to see.

1.66V seems fairly suicidal in the long term, what kind of clocks can it achieve at 24/7 voltages? It's fun to see what they can do on benching runs as an enthusiast, but I get a better feel for a chip when I know what clocks I could run it at on everyday voltages.
 
specially taking in to account it is a 5.25Ghz 8 core chip?????

Superpi is single core, Ive forgotten the version which uses every core but that might be a good test on 32m as people can compare it to their 4 core setup


I will request the Winrar benchmark. Cant get more practical then that and its multi core allegedly

Its bad on any AMD processor, its an old yet quick test to run and shows improvements even if the results are poor in the first place.

For example 5GHz is 18.2s and 4.8GHz is just shy of 20s and stock is somewhere around 25-30s, its jut not suitable for AMD chips, but it does reveal if the OC and settings are improving system performance or not. :)

So far I am at 4900MHz prime stable, looks like 5GHz will be a hard one to crack, not gonna give up though!

my media centre A3870K does 1m in 25 secs as a comparison running stock 3.0Ghz :D
 
SuperPi?! :rolleyes: The 1990s are on the phone, they'd like their software back! :p

Cinebench R11.5 please. Single core and full blown CPU tests. :)

http://www.maxon.net/products/cinebench/overview.html

At 5.2ghz you should easily beat the 8.31pts I got with my 8320. :)

5ghz fully stable should be doable with an 8350.

Stop fretting guys....

The thing about super pi is that it's a good metric for comparing core performance over the years. For everyday use you're probably only using a core or 2 and in that instance speed per core is vitally important.

I still use this benchmark as there's an abundance of data out there to compare with.

Nope. It really isn't. See CTF's explanation on the previous page, there are much more relevant benchmarks for showing how the AMD IPC still isn't as good as Intel. SuperPi just isn't it anymore.

It's only real use is to quickly check the step improvements your OCs are making, and even then there is better IMO.
 
I'm pretty sure Superpi uses x87 instruction sets, which is absent from these AMD chips (it isn't used anymore, anyway)

@Gibbo can you d some Cinebench single/multithreaded runs at 5.25ghz?
