Testing (continued):
Super Pi 1.1e:
Super Pi is a simple test always looked for by overclockers that has your computer calculate the value of Pi to the number of decimal places you specify (lower is better). The results below indicate how many seconds each configuration took to calculate PI
Apophysis 2.02:
A test that many of you may not be familiar with is Apophysis. This is a piece of fractal rendering software, not specifically a benchmark, and the render times are charted below (lower is better).
Counter Strike Source:
Last on the list is a gaming benchmark, Counter Strike Source. This will give us a look at the real life advantages that a new motherboard and chipset can give to you (higher is better). The settings used were 1280x1024, no AA, no AF, no HDR, and everything else set to high.
