**** OcUK Crysis Warhead Top-List ****

[marc2003]

you need to add the Q9400 to the list as i selected Q9450 as it was the closest cpu there to mine

i've edited your entry and added that (and a few other cpus) to the list.

my top single card dual core didn't last long i see... i've never ever had a really good clocking gfx card.

Pity crysis doesnt really care much for the cpu.

thanks, just clocked up my cpu+gpu a bit to see how much it helps, will repost when done

sorry on a different note, how do you do that toolbar at the top in vista
cheers

Hi, I'm sure the link below is the software your after, i have tried it and though it says 64 bit vista is not supported, it works fine.

Could someone with a quad core do me a quick favour please? Start Task Manager logging your CPU usage @ 800 x 600 or similar and play some Warhead.. set the graph to one graph for all cores (Rather than 4 split ones) and post the result? Cheers

 

[RavenXXX2]

There you go, don't know if its exactly what your after.

 

[Adrianr]

Cheers mate, that's exactly what i'm after.

Warhead doesn't look much improved to Crysis with regards to multi core usage then. I might try running some benchmarks with 2 of my cores disabled vs 4 at various clockspeeds. I'm still intruiged how something could be CPU bottlenecked without using all the CPU's power.

Here's is a vid showing how well three way SLI scales in warhead, very well if you ask me.

Crysis WH doesn't seem to improve with lots of cpu or gpu power tbh. The difference between stock 280 and a madly overclocked one isn't much at all, the same with the cpu.

ive submitted mine now with a less overclock than whats in my sig and - one gtx 280 because it blew up lol, but currently looking at the grid i has the highest score so far, just not updated on the forum yet.

 

[Adrianr]

If you submit a score from the full system in your sig I think you'll be on top for a very, very long time mate!

 

[Strife212]

Is that 65 frames on Enthusiast only with 2 GTX 280's? !

In that case it -must- scale well with CPU, assuming you have the GPU power in the first place.

Starting to wonder about this as a benchmark. The runthroughs of this are simply not consistant, things happen in the first runthrough that dont happen in 2&3 which skew the numbers, runthrough 1 has a helicoptor flying by, it has more explosions and it has a rockfall incorperating physics. 2&3 don't have this, to me going from 2-3 the last one seems slightly darker as well.

 

[IceWind]

yes thats only with 2 of them, still waiting for the replacement for the other one. also only got my qx9650 on air just now cause one of my pumps decided to pack in.

Doesn't really matter what happens in each individual test.. Aslong as it averages the score at the end, and it's the same test being ran on everyone elses machine.

What happened marc2003 the results / submit form have disappeared?

 

[grudas]

where did all results go? :O

 

[XeNoN89]

Where the first post gone?

 

[RavenXXX2]

Looks like he has cracked up under the strain of keeping the results up to date, men in white coats are on the way.
