Hi Rico,

here are the results of the Crysis benchmark for CPU and GPU. All results are from stock, run on the Cysis demo. Thanks Rico for the help- running it as administrator did the trick. Before that the tool would just start up as the full demo but once I ran as administrator it ran as a fly-by demo with full FPS





I wasnt sure if the CPU results would be useful for comparsion or not with your Dual-core . I will re-post once I overclock - unless you want me to bench any of the following games:
COD4
COD5
Left4Dead
World in Conflict

If you know of any bench tools for these games let me know!

Thanks d4martin for the pics and glad you got he fps's to show up. Hate to ask but could you run the same "very high" setting at higher resolutions above 1280 x1024? It would help other compare. And dual core cpus do as well as quad core cpus in gaming so feel free to compare with mine. Can't wait for your results with a overclock cpu.

For COD4 and COD5, I record a demo, play it back and then use FRAPS (260 sec) to take the min/avg/max frames. In Left4Dead, I also use FRAPS set at 300 seconds and just play the first mission on expert.

Hi Rico,

how done at higher res. Again GPU and CPU results.





was sure how the higher res results would come out due to by 19" (4.3)tft.
But here there are.

Will post again with some Fraps results on some of my games starting with COD5 before the overclock and then again after.

.....and you can call me Martin if it's easier!!!

At first I was about to be amazed but I see you dropped the quality to "High".

D'oh - I hadn't noticed that - sorry.
If it looks too good to be true....

Sorry for the confusion

S'all good!

Funny how on my first try with the lower res setting it says that the test was run at vert high but shows High on the left buttons.

and the opposite when I ran the higher res for you. Weird.
I remember accidently starting a set of runs before I noticed it was only on high, so Ctrl+Alt+Deleted to stop the runs and shut down the demo but not the bench mark tool. I changed it to Very high and restarted the runs again but seems to have ignored this and ran the previous setting. I was so excited, to finally have been able to get it to work, so posted with the results without checking them. I hadn't even noticed how high the FPS were- which should have told be something was up. I'll re-run and DOUBLE Check tonight.

As I said ... If it looks too good to be true....

D'oh, D'oh, D'oh and D'oh

Hi Rico2001 and Open1your1Eyes0

back with proper results for Crysis GPU and Cpu tests:











I'm sure these won't be anything great until I overclock. I'll try COD5 next as I know that Rico has this.

Martin

Talk to you later

On the contrary my friend, your fps averages are good. Crysis is a tough nut to crack and your scores were exactly what I wanted to see. I learned something I didn't know. See you, me and Open1 got around the same fps averages, give or take 1 fps and we are all using different cpus and mhz frequencies. This now shows me that it doesn't matter if you have a dual core, quad core, i7, 3G or 4G cpu, you will get around the same fps average using the same video card. Crysis is more of a graphical game than I once thought. I use to think it was one of the most cpu intensive games titles out there but actually it one of the purist graphic intense games there is. It doesn't care that cpu you have and as long as it's in the proper realm of pushing the video (3G-4G dual core/quad core cpu), crysis only cares about what you have under the hood of your video card. Thanks very much and rep+ for you.

And I know you haven't overclocked you cpu yet, but I'm almost certain you will only gain 1-2 frames on your average.

And what I mean about Crysis, "pure graphical", in most other games tiles, increasing your cpu mhz most of the times gets you a big increase in frame rates.
