Ok, so if you OC the 3200+ to FX speeds, will it actually perform like an FX chip? I.E. within a few % of the comparable speed FX chip?
Well speed wise but not as stable considering your oc'ing to get that certain speed but will run fast and make sure you up the voltage and ... No what your doing
not really. if u put porshe engine in a beetle it goes little faster but not really a porshe. it will still be a 3200 but will be little faster. Try running prime95 bench before and after your overclock
If you overclock like that, it'll be very close to the performance. It may be a bit less but then the chip isn't rated to run at those speeds. Any which way, you have a nice increase
It would perform identically to the FX chip, provided its stable. The FX chip has the 1mb cache compared to 512kb of the venice - but, you'd have to raise the HT frequency on the venice to get to it, giving it a boost from having a higher ht frequency. e.g 260*10, is faster than 200*13. But then again the venice would be maxed out and the FX at stock so if you oc both then the FX is always gonna win hands down
So if you got it to FX-53 speeds with memtest/prime stable... how would it not be as stable? Can you really compare the 3200+ to a beetle? It's more like a corvette. If you have the vette and tune it, it'll run/perform LIKE a porsche. I think this may be a better analogy. Basically I'd just like to have my upcoming 3200+ perform on a similar level to an FX chip in games. Coming from a P4 2.4 (@ 2.88) I'm hoping to see a pretty decent increase in overall performance.
lol dang! is that posssible? what speed would it be to get to an fx? what is mine at ? its 3200+ @ 2.55ghz from 2.2ghz
no your forgetting the cache and you can run a fx @ 240x10 walk in the park sort of negates that argument, lets go the other way let put the fx @200x10 and a 3200 200x10 what wins Now if you want to compare apples with apples here you go Here is a 3200+ ven @ 2900mhz 362x8 score is 35k http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8688432 Now here is an fx-53 @2929 325x9 38k http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=8580737 Both with 68u's sli card clock for clock same mem same timings same mb the only diff is the cpu's 29mhz don’t equate to 3k, but i take your point Reality
I think you're all getting away from my original question. FX is stock, 3200+ is OC'd. Performance: will it be SIMILAR, meaning, yesi know the FX has a few more bells and whistles (1mb cache etc), but will it be FAIRLY close (all other things equal)? To put it into context - - It could be endlessly argued that if you dump a lot of work into a mustang, can it be as fast as a viper. The answer is yes, then some numb-nuts comes out and says "well you could trick out the viper and make it faster". I don't F*kn care about tricking up the viper, i want to know if the mustang, given a certain power boost (OCing) can compare to the viper.
lol dear oh dear funny stuff guys keep trying tweak all you like no mater what you do the only way to get a fx is BUY IT 3700+@2.6 is not a fx-55 or 3200 @what ever still dosn’t make it a fx. mahahah reality m8 I blessed you with more intelligence than that truly, its a little old m8 every man on planet earth knows how to cheat 3d mark if you had a real fx you could of hit 50k So i assume by your lame attempt to put up a bogus orb you cant match my real fx hey descusion ended! point less
So what you're sayings is that a 3200+ OCd to FX-55 speeds wont perform on a SIMILAR level as say an FX-53?
