Testing (continued):
3DMark06:
3DMark06 offers a sampling of tests that are used to develop a composite score to reflect your system's gaming potential. The results are presented in unitless "Marks", and higher is better. The graph below shows the results from the test system with the display set to 1024x768 and No AA.
Faster memory alone has little to no effect on 3dMark06 scores on the test system. This would undoubtedly change as resolutions rise and more of the workload is moved off the GPU and on to the CPU and Memory.
SiSoft Sandra Lite XII Memory Benchmark:
SiSoft Sandra's suite of benchmarks includes one related to memory performance. The results are provided in units of MB/s, and higher values are better for both values (Integer and Float).
Again notice that all three modules performed similarly at 1066MHz. The OCZ Reaper's ability to run tighter timings does put it in the lead by a narrow margin, though. There is also an obvious performance improvement in this benchmark when going from 533MHz to 1066MHz.
Super Pi / Mod1.5 XS:
Super Pi is a simple program designed to calculate Pi to the number of decimal places selected by the user. In the process, it keeps track of how long the process takes, and this time can be used to benchmark the processing power of your system. Lower values are better, and the graph below details the results as the system was set to calculate Pi to 32 million digits.
I couldn't figure out an easy way to graph minutes and seconds, so these results have been translated into seconds. Again, the OCZ Technology PC2-8500 Reaper HPC CrossFire Edition's tighter timings allow it to take the lead, but as with the other scores, the difference is relatively small.
