[tastegw]

is this more of a cpu test or graphics?

im running onboard video until my 285's arrive on monday or tuesday

 

[gurusan]

It's cpu only.

 

[gurusan]

no one wants to challenge the mighty wolfdale! ?

[ricanflow]

Ha no way you can beat me in this one.

[AP4LIFETN]

i don't want to make anyone cry

 

[gurusan]

Rican how did you get that score? When I put your FPS into the excel spreadsheet it says 1:28 for total encode time of the v0.59.819M test

 

[ricanflow]

wtf??

oh crap i must have put in the version number.

This thing isnt exactly clear on scores.
