3D Mark Vantage & Games

3DMark Vantage

3DMark Vantage is Futuremarks flagship gaming oriented benchmark at present and is considered to be a demanding one at that. Our tests were carried out under the "Performance" prefix.

The 1GHz overclock across six cores has a profound effect on most of 3DMark Vantage's tests.

Crysis Warhead

Crysis Warhead is without a doubt one hard nut to crack, especially at higher resolutions. How will the 1075T take to the game?

The level of GPU dependency in Crysis Warhead means that not even a hefty overclock will have an effect on framerates.

Mafia 2

Mafia 2 is a recent action-adventure game. With plenty of eyecandy we were keen to see how well it would perform on our Socket AM3 testbed.

Mafia 2 on the other hand seemed to benefit slightly from a faster CPU, but with framerates such as these the difference is not noticeable.

Metro 2033

Metro 2033, often nicknamed as nVidia-2033 often exhibits favourable performance on otherwise equivalent nVidia graphics cards. Regardless, as it is another popular game we were curious to see if a 1GHz boost in core frequency would push those framerates out of the gutter.

Wishful thinking at its best I'm afraid. Oh well, let's wrap this one up.

What's that, another fully unlocked hex core? We simply had to take a look at this...

Great review as always guys. What cooler did you use for this, and what were the temperatures like?

I was talking to Mul about this the other night, was the classic is it really that cool? AMD style chip. Load was mid 40's on a SilenX cooler youll be seeing reviewed soon.

Same old Phenom, it has to be overclocked to its max so it can compete with default core i7’s when are AMD going to come up with something that has a triple channel controller and can give you the huge memory bandwidth that the core i7’s have otherwise AMD are just wasting their time and will remain the underdog of the cpu market.

They remain relatively competative in a more budget concious world. For example a consumer wanting decent bandwidth for their PCIe interfaces, and a reasonable performance is probably going to go for a 1055/1075T, a CHIV, for about £320-340. A decent i7 board is going to run £200+, plus an i7 950 which is £220 ish.

I agree that they desperately need to update the K10 architecture (I'm pretty sure Helen of Troy had one). But for massively multithreaded programs, the AMD is still a smart buy.

*WTF!This is not a BE cpu!*

black edition it means it has a unlocked multi for easyer overclocking
