I will run the 3m06 when I come home from work tonight but these are the 3dmark 05 results:
TONIGHT I WILL BE POSTING THESE ADDITIONAL FREQUENCYS - 1.8 GHz, 2.4 GHz, 2.66 GHz, 2.93 GHz, 4.2 Ghz, possible higher.
Conroe E6700 @ 2.93GHz
Conroe E6700 @ 4.2GHz
So we have an official CPU bottlnecked card. THIS CARD IS A BEAST!!! This confirms that other guys post with the Opteron. Its not your GTS thats holding you back, its your processor bro. Dont let it get to you dude.
JUST A LITTLE MORE FUEL TO ADD TO THE DISCUSSION:
Forget about quads. Lets talk about clock speed here and 65nm architecture. In a single thread app or game, such as 3dm05 or "bogo mark" lol, once I upped the cpu clocks over 3.0 GHz, the 3d performance seemed to explode. Would that not indicate that the GPU has plenty of room left in it, simply waiting for more single threaded processing power? And lets say the GPU ran out of processing power, that would mean even if I increased clockspeed to lets say 4.2 GHz from 3.0 Ghz, there would only be a VERY VERY minute change in 3dmark05 points. At least thats what I found with ATI X1900 XT. Let me see if I can find some old benchmarks.
But if I remember correctly:
ATI X1900XT (STOCK CLOCKS)
E6600 Conroe @ 2.93 GHz = 12,200 3dmarks
E6600 Conroe @ 4.1 GHz on my Vapochill = 13,647
So, that would mean theoretically the X1900XT is maxed out of processing power and even by increasing CPU clock speed dramatically it did relatively nothing to my score.
Now here is my current benchmarks::
EVGA 8800GTX (STOCK CLOCKS)
E6700 Conroe @ 2.93 GHz = 16,438
E6700 Conroe @ 4.2 GHZ = 19,137
By analyzing the difference between both cards, almost duplicate setups, with exact clockspeeds. Doesnt that show that one GPU ran out of processing power, and the 8800GTX still has plenty on tap?
