Interesting N10J Results of 3DMark06 with CPU Overclock

Here's Results from 3DMark06. Sorry, was easier to do in Excel, so had to do a jpg.



Based on CPU difference, I'd say there's approx 1% error in results (+/- 0.5%)

This tells me quite a bit:

(1) CPU offers 20%+ improvement going from stock 1600MHz to 2100MHz
(2) GPU Memory speed offers approx 5-10% improvement with 100MHz overclock (400 to 500Mhz)
(3) GPU speed has a negligible effect, less than 1%, improvement

I also did a run with FRAPS running and results were within 1% of running without it, so FRAPS has negligible effect of framerate.

How this translates to real world FPS will depend on the game, but you can see that the CPU has the most significant impact. I did some runs with Far Cry 2 benchmark, and it effectively bumps the FPS from 10 to 14FPS with CPU overclock (all settings medium, HDR off, Bloom Off, Shadows off). That's a 40% improvement! The memory clock had negligible effect.
