Techarp is hosting a new HD x264 benchmark. Have a look and run it on your system to help populate the data table.

Basically, you run the test encode of an HD sample (1280x720) and it will report back frames-per-second values for your machine @ it's clock/overclock level. You can run it at your stock settings and at your overclock settings to see how your machine compares to others in the database.

My goal is to have a representative set of data for many different chips and chipsets. Please just report your results here in this thread. I will keep the data at that url to keep things simple.

Thanks all and enjoy!

The following image will be updated automatically as new data comes in. It doesn't display any results, but it does show the number of data points collected so far and how they break down by CPU type:

Seems I have the wimpy rigs compared to those above me, haha. I'm a bit surprised to see the extra 1.4GHz on my overclocked D805 did not yield a larger difference. Glad to see the info on the Q6600 because that is what I was thinking my next OC'able upgrade might be.

Cheers,
Rick

rick - just don't get a motherboard with a via pt880pro chipset. it won't oc for crap. anything over a 10% oc won't post. i'm going to switch to a p35 chipset board next week.

@RickA - Thanks for taking the time to bench those systems! First off, I've seen how the Pentium D's overclock doesn't scale before and I can't explain it either smile.gif

A few questions so I can add your results:

Does the Pentium D system use DDR, SDRAM, or DDR2 memory?
What codename does your Athlon X2 3500+ have? There are three possibilities smile.gif CPU-Z should tell you which one you have. Also, what speed is the memory on that system, and is it DDR or DDR2?

Thanks man!

Thanks redwudz - what speed does your RAM run at (CPUZ can show you on the memory tab)... I'm guessing it's 400 MHz?

Thanks all for your input, greatly appreciated. I'm sporting a BFG 680i SLI mobo with the P4 D805 and finding it the friendliest OC board I have used yet. It is also the first one (and rig) that I seriously looked in to with OC'ing in mind. Still much to learn. smile.gif If you have more OC advice (prefered CPU's, mobo's, etc) I would like to hear it, please feel free to PM.

Graysky - my apologies, I ment to post the extra info you asked for. The D805 has DDR2. The AMD has DDR and is not overclocked, codename Venice, memspeed 200MHz 1:1 FSB:DRAM. It is not an X2 (dual core-?), just a normal Athlon 64. My P4 is the only dual core I have. If there is any way I can help out more with the testing please say.

Here is another test run with the D805 with FSB at 533MHz (2.6GHz stock) and Mem (PC2-6400)
at 800 MHz. Not much of a change between the 533MHz mem clock.
