I am running a serious experiment in my science class, and I need a large data range. My experiment is a computer test, consisting of running Overclocking speeds. The purpose of this is to find a curve of cost efficiency of buying a better part (CPU or GPU) vs. do-it-yourself Overclocking and to solve issues involving speed for programmers, artists, gamers, anyone who uses a computer, and finally to show people the options than just upgrading a PC. I need a bunch, Five at the LEAST, to run a few tests for me with their computers. These tests will be done with 3Dmark06 (Downloaded Here) and three games that I am running (These are optional). The games will be tested with Fraps (Download Here), which has a built in FPS monitor for games, and a screen-capture device.
The games are CS:S, TF2, and BC2.
IF YOU DO THE GAME TEST, READ THIS!
1. Set the games to where it is playable but the FPS isn't amazing, if your computer is amazing, go for extreme settings. DO NOT USE AA THIS IS IMPORTANT
2. Run the beginning of the game:
CS:S : Join a match on either the Highschool, Office, or Dust2 server.
TF2 : Join a match on any populated map, preferably stick to one class (Identification and the variable of the type of ammo/gun i.e. Pyro Fire, Sniper Scope, Heavy Minigun all of which could change the FPS because of the activity).
BC2 : SINGLEPLAYER : Play first mission, not the WWII one, up until you get on the jeep.
Take Screenshots (WITH FPS) every 60 seconds, for about 10 minutes.
3. Re-do with 2xAA
4. Run tests with Overclock of 25% increase on CPU ONLY. (If Applicable)
5. Run tests with Overclock of 25% on GPU ONLY. (If Applicable)
5. Repeat 1-5 with the different games (As Applicable)
I need the 3Dmark06 tests to be as follows:
One Test With NO OVERCLOCKING
One Test with 5% Overclocking on CPU
One Test with 15% Overclocking on CPU
One Test with 25% OC on CPU
Repeat these with GPU overclocking
I would like a post, a PM, or email ([email protected]) with,
Mobo:
GPU:
CPU:
RAM:
Screenshots (With labels on what tests they are): (If you did the games)
3Dmark06 Score:
Anyone with suggestions to how I can change this is experiment is more than appreciated.
