^^Surprisingly, the GPU tests are all absolutely shader limited in 06. There's no effect of the CPU on those... you can run the CPU at 1GHz and you won't notice a difference. The CPU tests themselves are a different matter though.
Dude run 3dmark 06 yourself and see. I am talking after doing it myself. No offense but check facts before you post.
deathvirus_me said:Hmmm ... ok .. so ur right .. so can u explain this ... take this two configurations :
(i)Intel Pentium4 3.0 GHz @ 3.6 GHz , 1 GB DDR400 , XFX 6600GT @ 500/1000 ...
(ii)AMD Athlon64 2800+ @ 1.8 GHz , 1 GB DDR400 , XFX 6600GT @ 500/1000 ..
SO accordingly , 3DMark06 scores should be the same right ?? then how come the first rig gets around 16xx .. while the 2nd one barely touches 14xx ... Hmmm .... so how come such a big diff. ??? Isn't the card totally the same .. ??? Drivers were same ...
And then .. some people with X2's can hit 4k's in 3DMark06 .... while with normal Athlon64's , u can't do that easily ... maybe a massive oc ... now why would this happen ???
Infact if i'm not wrong ... the GPU is only a subsidiary processing unit .. meaning ... if the CPU doesn't guide the data to the GPU , its useless .. am i not correct ??? So in this case .. the better the CPU , the more efficiently the GPU can perform (remember the CPU bottleneck thingy ??) ....
(A reduction of) 2000 points isn't exactly 'few'.Amol said:for f*cks sake man, why do you bother so much about the 3dmark scores ? Does it make a difference if you get a few points lesser ?
The CPU indeed doesn't affect performance in 3D mark like you mentioned... I was just kiddin, but I did pawn kaput boi!! :bleh:Chaos said:^^Surprisingly, the GPU tests are all absolutely shader limited in 06.
