"Keep in mind that
all following tests are done with an 8x multiplier. My Winchester cannot overclock beyond 9x280 so an 8x multiplier was used throughout all tests to provide proper scaling of performance. CPU multipliers in Athlon 64 processors do impact performance and so the 8x multiplier was used to keep performance as linear as possible."
Wer hat den geglaubt das solche Leistungssprünge - 35FPS in Farcry, über 20sek in SuperPi - allein vom "bischen" Ramtakt abhängen?
Sorry, absurd!
D.h es wurde von 8x200 = 1600MHz bis 8x300 = 2400MHz getestet.
Und genau das erklärt auch die Performancesprünge.
Edit: Madshrimps zeigt es recht schön:
"The synthetic benchmarks show a large difference, but when it comes down to games, which rely on the graphics card quite a bit, you will see that they hardly run any faster, +1-3% at best is all you are going to get. So if you plan on upgrading your system, you might want to look towards buying a new graphics card, faster hard drive, better soundcard, larger monitor, or anything else to enrich your gaming experience. Upgrading to expensive, fast running memory should be one of the last items on your shopping list if you are a gamer."
Auch interessant: 10x280 2,5-3-3-7 performen gerade mal ca 1% besser als 200 2-2-2-5,trotz des gewaltigen Unterschieds in der Frequenz
