Let me know whether a E5200 will beat E6600?

[furious_gamer]

^^ Ejjactly..
BTW Sorcerer.. Finally the E5200 beaten the E6600 in SuperPI 2M and even equalled in 1M.. How come this possible?

 

[j1n M@tt]

In most of the reviews I hav read, HD4670 and 9600GT r in a toss up situation, in some reviews for some games HD4670 tops...where as 9600GT tops in some other games.

And guys don't even thing about comparing HD4670 with 9500GT. 9500GT 512MB DRR3 barely beats old 8600GT with 256MB DDR3.

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ Please post some links for the reviews you read. BTW A 9500GT is just 3.2k where a 4670 is 4.6k... So u wont compare it with 9500GT too, but still 9500GT shines for the price and 9600GT, will be minimum 5.5k(from XpertVision) and u wont compare that too... So there is no point in arguing that 9500GT is not even closer to 4670..Coz they cost much less than 4670..

 

[zyberboy]

^Nope, not much price difference b/w the two ,palit 9500gt with ddr3 cost 3.4k and palit hd4670 cost 4.25k
for 850 Rs difference u get almost double the performance.

 

[j1n M@tt]

^^+1...4670 hav almost the double performance of 9500GT.

@rajkumar

am not getting extact links where I read those reviews. I read in Tom's hardware and AnandTech forums....now there are 100s of reviews abt them there, can't find which all I hav read . so plz do check there if u want..

 

[furious_gamer]

@zyberboy

850 does matter, atleast in India.Isn't it?

@j1nMatt

Googled it but find no useful links...Just leaving that aside.. BTW Are u using Vista 32-bit or 64-bit?

 

[j1n M@tt]

^^am using Vista 32-bit

btw 850 does matter in India situations, and HD4670 for 4.6k gives almost the same performance of 9600GT which is abt 5.5k, i.e. almost 1k difference + u hav to get a 500W PSU too.

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ Tired of arguing... OK..If u feel 4670 is good, then go get it. I prefer NVIDIA anyday, as i am a Game Programmer, and interesting with the PhysX and CUDA technology. No reasons other than this. I ain't a fanboi. OK dude. Will post the CPU Vantage test within this week....

 

[j1n M@tt]

^^am not a fanboy either...my dream is to put two 9600GT in sli than getting a HD4850

ya I will too try to post the CPU vantage this week.

 

[furious_gamer]

^^
Wait and see what the CPU Vantage can do with that piece of crap...

BTW A 9600GT in SLI can equals the performance with GTX260..(I think comp@ddict told it somewhere in the forum)

Actually the best mode to run superpi is the 32M. 1m and 2m dont give a good idea.

 

[j1n M@tt]

^^1M is the standard among overclockers

 

[The Sorcerer]

Well 1M doesn't tell much if you think about it- barely it puts any stress and that too for a short period of time. Makes sense for older obsolete processors, but not the new ones since they are pretty fast. Super PI 32M runs longer, requires more memory and system resources, and tests the CPU, memory, system and their stability more than that offered by SuperPI 1M which completes in a much shorter period of time. If you see international tech forums, they do have 1M and 32 M runs, but 32M runs is where it counts the most as it tests the real potential of a processor's speed- against 1M. 32M is considered standard by OCers since 1M doesnt show much of memory tweak's potential as well.
If people who are testing e5200 and e6600, please provide screenshots like this:

This way we will know which chipset and the type of memory is used.

Nice OC man, 4.2GHz, Stock COoler???

@ 9600GT discussion - All you need is a 460W CM PSU with 1x6pin power connector. FYI, the 65nm 9699GT had a TDP of 90W, the 55nm one has less than 80W, but more than 75W that's y the 6pin connector. So you can buy a POV Black 400W PSU with 1x6pin power connector for Rs. 2,100 and be happy with the 9600GT, which OCes to the following parameters with ease:-
Core - 810MHz
Memory - 1050MHz
Shader - 2200MHz

At that speed, the difference between a HD4670 and a 9600GT widens beyond just 50% performance.

here are the screenshots as said by The Sorcerer with E5200 set to 2.4GHz with FSB 1066MHz :

@The Sorcerer

what mobo, RAM and cooler do u use?? btw nice O.C man...

 

[The Sorcerer]

Those are not my OCs but somebody else. Just bringing the picture to show as an example. My system is with e7200 which I managed to clock till 3.8 ghz but didnt OC anything other than processor since I didnt feel the need for it......yet.

 

[j1n M@tt]

wat mobo do u use with E7200??

 

[The Sorcerer]

p5q deluxe. Got it as a replacement since my a8n sli deluxe died rather unexpectedly since bios chip had some issues.

 

[j1n M@tt]

^^you r damn lucky man!!! I think P5Q Deluxe costs around 12-13k!!

 

[The Sorcerer]

Yeah but this board is pretty strange though only with newer bios i got it working without a fuss. Given a chance I would have taken a biostar i45 or gigabyte's UD3P but since they were all p45 chipset, doesnt make selling one board and getting another board with same chipset- and I wasnt interested for x48 at all.
