Kingston HyperX KHX4000K2-1GB Memory Review - Benchmarks
(Page 2 of 4 )
- Abit IC7-G MAX2
- Pentium IV 2.4 'C'
- Antec True Control 550 watt power supply
- Koolance Exos
- Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB
Timings were set to 2-6-3-3 at 200MHz, 2.5-6-4-3 at 250MHz and at 270MHz/216MHz. I didn't have any luck running the memory above its rated memory bus speed, 250 MHz bus (DDR 500), no matter what timings were used.
SiSoft Sandra 2004
First up we have SiSoft Sandra. The memory bandwidth test gives you a fairly decent estimate of how additional memory bandwidth effects real world performance. You can really see the difference between using the different ratios while keeping the system bus at 250MHz.
3DMark2001
3DMark2001 originally created to be a video card benchmarking tool has developed into a tool to measure the performance of the whole system. Again we see a rather big difference between 250/200 and 250/250. Even with the relaxed memory timings an Intel system loves a high system bus.
3DMark2003
In the next benchmark, 3DMark 2003, I expect things to tighten up. 3DMark 2003 is primarily a video card dependent benchmark with a user's system tweaks only factoring a small fraction into the overall score. I only include it to give you all an idea of how the different settings may perform under system intensive DirectX 9 games. Small variation is all we see between the test conditions.
