3DMark 11 (DX11) Benchmark Scores

[=sw=warlord]

Just done a quick test, I'll do another once I've installed the second card.

Haven't seen any Pentium 4s glued together in a while....

pick up a core2duo for 10 dollars on ebay if your motherboard supports it for 2x the performance in everything~

It's a Pentium Dual Core E5700. :x
Versus a $10 or less Core 2 Duo E7600, it's only about a 7% performance increase.
If I were to go for the Core 2 Duo E8600, which can be anywhere from $30-$80, I would get about a 32%-36% performance increase.

Why waste money on little upgrades that don't make a desirable mark? Like I said in the other thread though, I'll be weighing my needs and build a new computer with price/performance in mind.

3dmark sucks it says Pentium D right on the screenshot lol. Though it was the original, not the later core based one welp...

So I pulled my CPU out yesterday and saw something that irked me after removing the thermal paste: "Intel '05 Pentium D"
And I went back through my archived emails and saw something else that irked me even more: http://puu.sh/6S9IR.png

I was shipped the wrong CPU and have been using it for a few years without even knowing it. I don't know how much more of an idiot I can feel like. Oh wait, we're going to find out because here's the fun bit: It's a 64-bit motherboard. It's a 32-bit CPU.

Talk about bottlenecks.

That's about 200 points higher than what it was, but these are DX11 results, so I don't expect it to soar. I did get a chance to see the comparisons between my old CPU versus the new one though, and for the low, low price of free (minus about $5.00 for a tube of thermal paste), it's alright for now. I'm still saving up quite a bit so I can get a system with productivity/gaming in mind with heavy consideration of price versus performance.

That's shitty about being shipped the wrong CPU. Could of very weel been a scam on eBay too. Was the price exceptionally good at the time? Because eBay CPU sellers will often sell the bare CPU without packaging and fan for cheap, and advertise it as a different type of CPU. Most people don't check the little writing on their CPU before installing it, so yeah...

That's painful. I wouldn't worry about the 32-bit vs 64-bit though. Unless you've got a load of RAM, it's not really an issue.

I feel the GPU is limiting my CPU :S Though I may be wrong

Don't plan on overclocking

It's amusing seeing the benchmark run great till the physics tests, then it just TANKS.
AMD ftw right?
But no seriously I've been happy with this CPU for the ~year that I've had it so far, no complaints.

New comps doing well
