Unreal
Tournament 2004
Unreal
Tournament is another popular game engine to test overall system
performance. Here, we can see the same results as Far Cry and
3dMark2001. Like Far Cry, UT2004 was also run at 640x480 to limit GPU
dependency. The other resolutions are to give an approximate of actual
gameplay performance.
PCMark2002
PCMark is
another benchmark created by Futuremark. It tests the memory
compression and decompression speeds in small to large chunks of data.
Super
PI
Since the
value of PI is an infinite value, Super PI is a speed test to find the
digit you're looking for. In this case, we chose the millionth digit.
Super PI benefits greatly from higher FSB as well as low latencies.
PiFast
PiFast is
similar to Super PI and the results can be greatly affected by a slight
adjustment to the memory megahertz and latency.
From the
performance charts above, it can be seen that low latencies on DDR2
isn't as beneficial as that of DDR. Yes it does provide better
performance, but it seems that higher DDR2 memory frequencies provide
better results.
