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.
