Hello there, this is mainly to the Dev's, and I'm interested in certain aspects of the Phenom II CPU.
My rig's different to my sig, I upgraded to an AM3 790FX board.
Im currently running 4GB 2000MHZ Ripjaws, with a 4GHZ Phenom II C3 965.
The questions are :
1.) How does the HT link relate to PCSX2 speed? In a Phenom II 940, the stock is 1.8GHZ, in a Phenom II 965, the stock is 2GHZ, I've got mine overclocked and stable at 2.4GHZ (Can take it to 2.8GHZ), my question is, how does the HT link speed relate to PCSX2? Or doesn't it?
2.) How does the CPU NB relate to PCSX2 speed? Documentation on the Phenom II dictates that overclocking the CPU NB speed will increase performance more than the same core clock overclock would do. The stock is 2GHZ on my 965, I've got it running at 2.8GHZ. How does this relate to PCSX2 or doens't it?
Reason for asking these questions, me and a friend were testing rendering speeds in 3DSMax, his Q9550 was faster clock for clock (As has always been), however, once I began to change my HT/CPU NB, my CPU became faster clock for clock (Core clock).
Also, onto memory, how do the timings relate to PCSX2 speed?
I'm currently running 9-9-9-24-33-1T, I can take this down to 8-8-8-20-27-1T, would that give any difference? I mean even 1 FPS on average is an improvement.
