Northwood 3.06Ghz benchmark results!!!!!

Here you go guys.

Nothing overclocked in my system as yet (not even the Radeon 9700).

I am using the Asus P4PE Deluxe by the way. I badly need a Granite Bay motherboard!!!!

3DMark 2001 SE:

Northwood 3.06Ghz without HT and Radeon 9700
= 15759 3DMarks

Northwood 3.06Ghz with HT and Radeon 9700
= 15810 3DNarks

Quake III (1.30 patch and running Demo Four timedemo):

Northwood 3.06Ghz without HT and Radeon 9700 at 1600 by 1200 32bit with max settings all the way = 204.4 fps

Northwood 3.06Ghz with HT and Radeon 9700 at 1600 by 1200 32bit with max settings all the way = 204.7 fps


Comanche 4 at 1600 by 1200 32bit with max settings:

Northwood 3.06Ghz without HT and Radeon 9700 = 58.49 fps

Northwood 3.06Ghz with HT and Radeon 9700 = 58.30 fps


Unreal Tournament 2003 at 1600 by 1200 32bit with max settings all the way:

Northwood 3.06Ghz without HT and Radeon 9700
Flyby = 105.781
Botmatch = 70.304

Northwood 3.06Ghz with HT and Radeon 9700
Flyby = 105.678
Botmatch = 70.160

So as you can see HT does nothing for gaming performance now.

However, AMD's favorite benchmark Sandra 2003, does have a boost in performance.

very nice.
i like those sandra figures.

when are you going to overclock the mother? i can't wait to see how well (or poorly?) it does.

you'll be well over 10,000 mips!!!

No rush in overclocking the CPU.

There is nothing more I need to test this year, apart for the Granite Bay.

I want the excitement to last. Come on I paid $650 for the CPU.

As for now I can say it is not worth the price at all.

I was getting similar results with my AthlonXP 2700+ with nForce2 and Radeon 9700 (all not overclocked).

very nice lookin system bud.

O/C that sucker. I saw a guys sig that said he got 18.2k 3DMark with the same set up, with the exception of a 2.66 CPU @3.36.

I'd really like to know if hes full of it or not and you have the rig to prove it!

Your friend is not joking.

Here is my 3DMark 2001 SE result with Northwood 2.66Ghz at 3.18Ghz.

18349 3dMarks

Higher FSB = Higher memory bandwidth = higher results.

<--is not full of it, if your taliking about me. Its up on the 3dmark team for ya. Sweet run there Manoj.
