UD4 vs UD7 3Dmark2001 Sli and Single card Compared.

[Vivi]

Yo guys!

Getting ln2 tomorrow only.. so while i'm bored i did this.

Quck history:

I had a UD4 1st, was happy with it. But i wanted to run dual card 01, and the 16x 16x on UD7 sounded juicy. So i bought a UD7 and some of my scores went down a little. Probly because the NF200 chip not so good for single card. It's also not so good dual card. (only tested 2001 though).

So i compared results from UD4 VS UD7.

All my tests done at SAME speeds. Everything identical.

System:

Gigabyte P67A-UD4-B3 and P67A-UD7-B3
Corsair 2000mhz cl7 memory (1066 7-7-7-20 1T)
Corsair 950W psu
2600k (5.015ghz)
2x MSI 275 Lightnings (750 / 1250)

Just some pointers when using 182.50 nvidia drivers and P67 boards you need to use the sli hack to make sli work. And if you want to overvolt msi 275 lightnings on 182.50 drivers use madmatrix tool.

Here we go:

UD4 Left / UD7 Right (Single Card)

The difference is quite big. The higher you go with cpu speed the bigger the difference will get.
Seems like UD4 slacks a LITTLE in nature dualcard. But the other tests make more than up for it.

Cool

Now the question is if you gain mhz by switching to the UD7 to make up the difference. ;)

[Neuromancer]

Interested to see how this effects newer tests that are not GPU phobic. Like Heaven :)

no sadly not :/
that was the main reason i went to ud7. to gain CPU speed.

but,

max on UD4 5705mhz
max on UD7 5705mhz

How does 2D compare ???

[Vivi]

for me 2D the UD4 was faster.

UD4
5705 - Pi - 6.500
5705 - Pifast - 12.88

UD7
5705 - Pi - 6.531
5705 - Pifast - 12.91

Damm,

Wonder what gives when their mid line board out prforms the flagship ???

better times = clocks ... WTF are they doing to market this

2x 16 would be all it has going for it over the ud4 ???

guess it has giga teaming and the whole smeal though ...

plus the way cool box .......... :laughing:

[Splave]

nf200 ftl?

[ReverendMaynard]

nf200 ftl?

we have a winner.:ohcrap:

[Chuchnit]

I still don't get why it's slower in 2d? NF200 should only affect 3D shouldn't it?

[Splave]

nope its adds latency or something I guess?

[Vivi]

i doubt it's slower in 2D. i must have been more focussed on 2D when i was on the UD4.

almost sure it shouldnt be worse. but i struggled to match my ud4 times.
Probly just my noobness :)

[ReverendMaynard]

nope its adds latency or something I guess?

it's not a guess...you know :) Chuch, look at it like a speed bump on the road between the cpu and the pcie slot, from where your 2D bench is being computed, to the display.

I'd be curious to see the same comparison in something more GPU demanding like Vantage or 3DM 11
