Memory Timings Analysis

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the squeezing-out-the-fps dept.

keefe007 writes "It's generally known that smaller and more aggressive memory timings combined with higher clock speeds leads to higher performance, but for the most part, the increase in performance from tweaking each individual setting is relatively unknown. Perhaps in a bit too ambitious move, I set out to examine the impact of each individual memory timing and clock speed on overall performance. Find out the results of the tests at Techware Labs."

    Well, no, because I have something called 'integrity.' Which means I probably won't be getting any free crap anytime soon.

    Which is just as well, because crap is still crap, no matter if it's free or not. And if you encourage people to spend money on something that you know is worthless, you're the kind of person that'll be getting a ball peen hammer to the forehead sooner or later.

    "What, only Windows XP was used for the tests as well? Why not run tests also against Linux and BSD on the same hardware too? Your result will vary...

    Testing just Windows is like test driving the Indy 500 ... driving a Pinto. You certainly won't be getting the full eXPerience."


    Could be worse. He could have just tested Linux. How many extra FPS are you going to squeeze out of Tux Racer? Might as well test a speedboat in an olympic sized swimming pool. "I can drive nowhere, but I'm getting there real fast!"
