AMD@ 2Ghz vs P4@3.55Ghz: 1-0?
 
I've got my new rig up and running: a P4 2.6C on a 865G motherboard (Asus P4P800-VM). If you disable the onboard grafics (which i did), it performs exactly the same as a 865PE motherboard according to several websites.


The cpu is an excellent overclocker: after playing games for a few hours, 3550mhz (273fsb) proved to be fully stable at stock voltage with aircooling.

I've reinstalled windows properly on a formatted disk, installed dx9, intel chipset drivers & the latest catalyst drivers.

Everyting seems to run ok, but 3Dmark 2001 score is ~15500 and 3dmark 2003 is 6000 (r9800 @ 425/375)... which is about exactly the same as my XP1800+@2000mhz on a budget asus nf2-400 motherboard with silent cooling.

The performance difference between the 3:4 / 4:5 memory divider is neglegible.

-edit-
P4 is single channel (1*256mb bh-5) because it fails to boot with my repaired bh-5 stick, in contrary to the nf2 rig.

Does Intel suck (CPU costs 5 times as much as my AMD), or is something horribly wrong?

our P4 2.53, P4T533 and 256MB RIMM PC1066 performs slightly better then my KR7A, 1700+ at 2Ghz and a stick of 256MB mem at FSB 190

dazzling, I'll never buy Intel again. Intel doesn't suck, they're the fastest... but you do pay the price of it.

Okay, his gpu speed is 70mhz faster, but that DOES NOT make 6000 3Dmarks difference. Something must be wrong...

TeuS 24th August 2003 02:07

perhaps the high FSB is slowing you down?

try lowering the speed a bit, you might get lagspikes in 3dmark if you're clocking too high.

Nope, the score increases linear (14500 at 3000mhz). No glitches whatsoever.

What does dragon test stress? It's way too low, but the other scores aren't too good either.

so it's not dual channel ?

there's your problem.

The Senile Doctor 24th August 2003 11:44

dual channel does boost an intel quite substantially...
@ 3.5 (as I normally run 24/7) the difference with my 200*10 amd (office pc) is GIGANTIC in favor of the intel...

RichBa5tard 24th August 2003 11:57

Do me a favour, dual channel does not give you 5000 extra 3Dmarks. I'd be suprised if it would give me a +500 boost.

Gamer 24th August 2003 12:40

just get you another module, plug it in and see for yourself :p

it DOES make a hughe difference.

RichBa5tard 24th August 2003 13:25

If i gain 5000 3dmarks, i'll treat you 30L Stella. :p

The motherboard fails to work with the repaired winbond bh-5 stick, so it will take a while before i can test dual channel.
