Synthetic Gaming

These tests aren’t really GAME testing but are more synthetic gaming-related tests.  For that reason these benchmarks are done using the GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphics card installed and are meant to continue testing the x86 CPU performance of the benchmarked platforms. 


3DMark Vantage


A reliable and popular benchmark, 3DMark Vantage can provide a good insight into overall gaming performance of a system.

 

 

CPU Test 1 is very much a thread-limited scenario as the Core i7-3960X runs away with the win while Test 2 is pretty even across all of our tested processors, even the Bulldozer-based FX-8150.


3DMark11


A reliable and popular benchmark, 3DMark Vantage can provide a good insight into overall gaming performance of a system.

The CPU-based physics test from 3DMark11 runs about 9% faster on the Core i7-3770K than it does on the Core i7-2600K.
