Problems with NB and iGPU on JetWay board

[coonmanx]

Maybe something like this Sapphire would fit the bill.

$20 more gets you a 5770.

Hmmm.... how much of increase in performance would I get by pushing the cpuNB freq?

I guess my answer above was too ambiguous. How about:

Not nearly as much as pushing the CPU but more than pushing the RAM ...

More than pushing the ram? I've always been told it goes: CPU > RAM > NB for performance potential via oc'ing. Well I plan on starting a new thread in the AMD section as soon as my stuff gets here. I am going camping here in beautiful NC for 3 days. But hopefully you can help me maximize my system even more then last time. Also, I was thinking about getting into folding for SETI.

Since the cpuNB is relatively new I'm not sure what you mean by "always".


I think if you'll check the Everest results at the bottom of post #5 and top of post #6 in this thread you'll see what I mean.

Here's a quote from another post I made on this same topic. To get the adjusted numbers you see in "( )" I multiplied the results by the cpuNB speed of the other tests divided by the cpuNB speed for that test to "normalize" the numbers in relation to the cpuNB.

1600CL7 13560/9360
1873CL8 15100/10300 (adj. 13326/9090)
2000CL9 13480/9720

The cpuNB for the 1873CL8 tests is running 2273 MHz, not 2006 (stock) as in the other tests. So the cpuNB is ~13.5% faster and the scores average ~11.5% higher. You'll also note the Everest scores for 1600 and 2000 have a variance of ~2%±, which is not really statistically significant, and that the SiSandra scores are virtually the same at < 1%±. If you include the adjusted scores Everest results are ~3%± and SiSandra is, again, virtually the same at < 1%±. You might also note that while the other tests were run at 4.0+ GHz, the 1600CL7 tests were done at a CPU speed of 3.2 GHz, though the 3.6 GHz Turbo mode may have kicked in, we don't know.

So what, exactly, did all that extra RAM speed (+400 MHz = +25%) actually do for performance?


Don't you find it interesting that the only real boost to RAM performance came from increasing the cpuNB speed?
