3DMark 06

3DMark 06 – Direct3D

Notes

As expected, 3DMark scales nicely with faster CPUs thanks to in large part to its dedicated CPU tests. If you look at the game test results however, you will see that both the GeForce 8800 GTX and GTS scale best with the 5000+ and FX-62, the GeForce 8800 GTX/X2 3800+ combination is often outperformed by the GTS with faster X2 CPUs. This test illustrates why its important to have a fast CPU if you plan on going with a GeForce 8800 GTX card.
