Benchmark testing
This is to show how the system fares in common benchmarks
To start off with we run them at stock
Wprime is basically a multithreaded number crunching bench... it gives us a chance to test all 8 threads of the CPU
Stock:
and here is the overclocked run of teh exact same test
You will notice how large of a difference that made. So imagine how much difference it would make when encoding a video or any other normal app you would be using.
Now on to 3dmark vantage
Here is a stock single card run.
and here is the overclocked single card run.
here you will notice not a huge increase as only the cpu score went up, but the graphics score is largely unaffected. Lets see if teh bottleneck is teh single card?
Here is a run in SLI.
There we have it, this processor/motherboard combo is very efficient, so taht leads to teh graphics cards being a huge bottleneck, and adding the secong card increased teh score amazingly.
