those wanting to run arma 2 benchmarks its in single player/ scenarios
Did you see my post #84 ref. settings used in your chart?
Damn, no, it is also GPU limited by my 6950 at 1680 x 1050 at very high settings. To do these benches, I would need a better card.

i have same card
OK then what Framerate do you get on highest settings at 1680 x 1050 and 1920 x 1200?
just seems odd that you benched games nobody literally plays
Thats funny. Reason being I was thinking about this the other day checking out whats new to AMD's drivers, then I read this rubbish... and chuckled.
Damn you Humbug
hehe...
I input manually via Excel, In Word just click on the insert tab and select Chart, Excel should open with the Chart Graphics, if not just right click and select edit.
So actually yeah, Excel is involced, Sorry Martini
same as in chart
my 955 was about same as that chart aswell pretty much spot on (why i linked it )
I must be being extremely stupid today. All I asked was what resolution and settings you are using. I could have much higher framerates at low res than that chart. I am also GPU limited at these higher resolutions, as you would have been be on a 6950 also.
Therefore how can you make this comparison relevant to your argument that all AMD processors suck at ARMA. As far as I can tell it is very playable at high detail.
No it's not, I get 4965MB/sec. Admittedly at 4.9GHz, must stop feeding the trolls.

Yes the video card is maxing out before the CPU's run out of grunt.
Of course you knew that
If your trying to show CPU performance differences in gaming then you have to make sure the GPU isn't the bottleneck.
Perhaps he could go begging to the shop he keeps advertising in the blog and get another card to crossfire with.
Also 4.7Ghz is not a 24/7 overclock for PD.
Unless you never ever stability test it.
4.7Ghz could easily be a stable overclock of PD, I have a BD running 4.75Ghz atm, (I raise and lower depending on the weather, odd i know) It would happily go up to 5Ghz Stable, just temps are not justifiable. In a colder room maybe...

Quad core though, going to have less heat to deal with.
4965 at 4.9GHz... I am testing it at 4.5GHz
!What cooling are you using? Voltage is?

I expect I am restarting an old argument here.
My PD is not 100% prime stable on eight cores at 4.9GHz. It gets too warm. 4.6GHz is the prime stable frequency on eight cores.
However it is stable on prime using 4 workers at 55C core and 60C CPU. All cores are presumably at 4.9GHz, four are fully stressed calculating small FFT.
It is Aida64 stable at 51C and 58C on eight cores at 4.9GHz.
x264 HD benchmark v5.0.1 causes the most heat at 4.9GHz peaking at 66C but all tests complete.
Nothing that I do including x264 encoding, rendering, games benches etc. overheats the processor or causes lockups, instability, slow downs, black or blue screens at 4.9GHz.
Therefore I choose to run at 4.9GHz, 1.49V and bench at that frequency, it will also complete benches at 5GHz but at a higher voltage of 1.52V

Phanteks 1.49V
The cores peak at 66C and drop back to 63-64C most of the bench, just the fan kicking up and cooling. Max CPU temp is 67C.
I am going to crossfire my 6950 for a bit to try and find the limitations of this processor.

Shocking game engine...
The CPU is very much the bottleneck in this game.
Nothing wrong with those temps.

Well you are only dealing with half the heat.
What clock you use for gaming depends how fussy you are about stability.
It has been my experience that abosulte stability on the 8 core PD's can only be proven up to around 4.6Ghz, higher than that and you cant sustain the high loads of programs such as P95 for long enough periods to be sure.
Temps go through the roof.
I used to be an absolute stickler for stabilty, with good reason though all my machines used there spare cycles to crunch prime number candidates.
I am a bit more flexible now and do on ocassion exceed max prime stable clocks for benches.
Never when gaming though, last thing i want is a CTD nanoseconds before i beat an end of level boss or finish a particularly difficult quest.
