I decided to run some tests with my new GTX 570 but it turned into cpu overclock scaling tests. Enjoy.
Test System: *also see sig
i7-930 @ (2.8, 3.36, 3.8, 4.2) with and without hyperthreading
Gigabyte x58A-UD3R
EVGA GTX 570 SC
6GB G.Skill @ 1600
500gb WD black
Methodology: I tried to keep everything as consistent as possible. Every time I would dial in a new processor clock I would load up windows and let it sit a few minutes until it seemed all start-up processes had stopped. I then opened my usual monitoring software ie: realtemp, Fraps, etc. Some of the tests gathered their own min/max/avg data and I used that while other programs I used fraps to gather my own data. I ran each test three times and took the average of that data.
*I've also included a spreadsheet of all the data I gathered including min/max/avg fps scores. I will only show the total average scores here.
