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.

 

 

The Core i7-3770K is 40% faster than the Core i5-3470 in our first CPU test but is actually slightly faster in the second one, showing that game engine design for multi-threadedness means everything here.


3DMark11


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

3DMark11 tests the physics directly for gaming applications and it finds that the ability to run HyperThreading to be valued at a 35% performance advantage.
