So my 4930k should be here friday or saturday so I will be upgrading my 2500k to a 4930k so I figured why not run a few benchmarks. http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/8419297 http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/3242536? and for star swarm == Results ================================================ Test Duration: 360 Seconds Total Frames: 25524 Average FPS: 70.90 Average Unit Count: 4454 Maximum Unit Count: 5608 Average Batches/MS: 1128.33 Maximum Batches/MS: 4140.69 Average Batch Count: 19150 Maximum Batch Count: 157318
Dont forget that with Star Swarm you should run the test 3 times and then average the scores of all tests together because the benchmark is not the same each time you run it because the AI can choose to do different things.
Star swarm improved for sure ... average FPS went up to around 88-91 from the 68-75 I had with the old chip the other benchmarks saw a slight improvement
