AMD nForce2 memory timings explored

Memory by piotke @ 2004-01-04

A couple of days ago, I read on a Dutch forum a question concerning AMD timings. This week I saw almost the same question on our forums. It was a question about the fastest memory timings for an AMD nForce2 setup. Nobody could give a clear answer, so started to test the most common used timings... Here are the results you?ve always wanted to know!

Particle Fury

Particle Fury

Benchmark used: Particle Fury


Despite the alpha-blended OpenGL goodness, Particle Fury is actually NOT fillrate limited! CPU (particularly FPU) and memory bandwidth and latency are the bottlenecks with modern-era 3D cards. Only when I go below 5000 particles onscreen do I get fillrate limited.


Once again, the winner remains the same, but like seen before, 2-2-11 only beats 2-2-5 by a small margin.
