Who here has Metro 2033 and an FX-83## or FX-81##

[Martini1991]

Meh.

Meh.

Exactly. His 70 FPS is because of the GTX 680 SLI, not his CPU.

I think you're forgetting where he used the 680's with the FX8320...

I really can't be fussed with this, all you'll do is move the goal posts, ignore something, make another mistake, misread another thing and so on and so forth.
I mean, you've done most of that this thread already.

I'm not forgetting it, if you look back my Thuban is about 40% faster than that FX-83## on a much slower GPU, that says more about the FX CPU than his CPU and mine.

I didn't realise i would have to spoon feed humbug but here goes.

The test you are running is hard on GPU's
A single GPU such as a 680 or 7970 will only average high 40's. maybe low 50's on a highly overclocked card.

Now you wanted to test CPU Physx.

I did the test using 2 cards which are capable of 90+ frames per second.
The result when using the CPU to do the Physx, a miserable 30 FPS with the FX 8320.

For comparison i used an Intel 3820 running at the same clock speed as the FX 8320 4.6GHz.
Actually 4625 because you have to use the 125 strap as they have only partially unlocked multis.

That when doing the Physx was able to sustain a much higher FPS as i showed over 70.

Now had i used one card the result would have been in the 40's.
The GPU would have been the throttle not the CPU.

Understand now ?

One GPU and you will not see the max Physx capability of an Intel CPU using your test settings.

Your turning in to a joke now.

Put the chart up for that test and i will show you something, something you already know.

Did a metro run on my FX 8320. 4.6Ghz
680 SLI

So the FX-83## works fine without Physx.

I can turn off Phsyx on the GPU and do another run.
Just went into the NV control panel and set Physx to CPU.

Performance as expected is terrible running Physx on the CPU.
Minimum frame rates well under 10 and averages in the 30's why would you want that.

FX8320 4.6Ghz Physx running on CPU

You see that? see how flat that is? the FX-83## can't deal with Physx.

It also runs off the CPU if you don't have an Nvidia GPU.

Thuban can. its looks just like your bench with GPU Physx.

If you put up the single GTX 680 on the FX-83## CPU Physx i bet you it still looks exactly like the bench you did in FX-83## + SLI GTX 680, and nothing like mine.

Whats more your Intel + CPU Physx 'does' look just like mine, including the 10 / 15 FPS bit in the middle.

Actually it runs quite well on the Intel chips.
I had no trouble averaging in the 70's on the test with a 3820

CPU Physics

Can you see where the CPU bottleneck is for both our CPU's? look at it again with GPU Physx vs CPU Physx.

Your 70 FPS is absolutely nothing at all to do with your Intel CPU, your 'averaging' 70 FPS because of higher FPS with SLI GTX 680's vs my one 7870 out side of the CPU bottleneck.
Your Intel CPU bottleneck part is every bit a prevalent as it is with mine, its not better in this situation, this is confirmed by 2 other completely independent Intel CPU benches which have similar results as me. (you yourself have similar results to me with just one GTX 680 on your Intel i7)

One GPU and you will not see the max Physx capability of an Intel CPU using your test settings.

No, your FX CPU can't deal with Physx
