Benchmarking: 3850AGP and Q6600

[lemonadesoda]

This is a basic benchmarking template to compare performance improvements when upgrading an AGP system.

Direct comparison showing UPGRADES from Radeon 9700 to 3850 with same CPU and same DDR RAM, and
Direct comparison showing UPGRADES from P4 to Q6600 with same GPU and same DDR RAM. Note that the Q6700 results are from revin. Also on Conroe865PE, but his system is based on "overclocked" and not stock GPU.

Blanks and ?'s will be filled in when I get time to run the benchmarks (and data from other users :) )
The "..." means no material change (since CPU and not GPU test).

System specs are as follows:
s478 tests using ASUS P4P800-VM
s775 tests using ASROCK Conroe865PE
CPU and speed as shown in table
GPU at stock speeds, except "HD 3850 OC" which is at 750/1000 and "7800GS+ OC" which is at 670/800
Mainboard RAM is dual channel DDR at stock (default)


P.S. These benchmarks are NOT memory-speed optimised or "overclocked" optimised. A few % here and there in not the point of this benchmark comparison. We are looking for order-of-magnitude change due to CPU and GPU swaps.

Thank you for the time/effort for the data!:toast:

If it is possable, could you break down the CPU/SM2/SM3 data?

I, myself like to see a look at what CPU's add to ie 3DM06, and gauge just what my SM2/3 video score's compare to other cards.
Especially what those 3850's are doing:rockout:

Again, a BIG Thank you

[KainXS]

so are you using the 4coredual for the testing

[intel igent]

for the 478 sys what are complete specs plase?


:toast:

[lemonadesoda]

s478 spec as follows:
STOCK CPUs. STOCK DDR. Stock GPU.

P4HT Northwood 2.8@2.8 on ASUS P4P800-VM
P4EE Galatin 3.2@3.2 on ASUS P4P800-VM
Q6600 on ASROCK 775i65G
DDR1 dual channel stock speeds

I will add more s478 benchmarks when I get time ;)

I used the tool 3dmark06 score calculator: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=102058 to test if the Q6700 is a good upgrade over Q6600 on my HD3850 system. But calculator suggests only extra 300 points in 3Dmark06 if I get the Q6700. So I'll sit still for the moment. A 3850x2 AGP would be a treat!

Ok yesterday I reached 12054 points at 3Dmarks06

FSB = 294Mhz
Multiplier = 11
RAM = 2 - 3 - 3 - 6

In Bios I've activated Spread Spectrum or 3Dmarks06 crash
Enhalt ...........
Virtualization ..............

All the rest in the same screen disabled

I also overclock my 3850 to 802/1002

I think I can get a little more, any suggestion?

[Harlock]

Guys new record 12341!!! by overclocking a little more my HIS, WOW :rockout:

[Harlock]

I had to repeat the test to grab also the details and ...........

Same config.

x11 Multiplier

294Mhz FSB

His 3850Agp @824/1035

12349 points!!!! New Record
