Results - Gaming Benchmarks
Our last set of benchmarks involve using actual games to measure real world performance difference in frames-per-second (fps) stemming from the memory subsystem. In older games like Unreal Tournament 2004, the impact on performance seemed to be minimal, even if UT2004 has been known to scale well with system performance. However, with our current system setup, the performance gap between DDR2-800 and the low latency timing for the ANEON XTUNE DDR2-1066 was less than 2fps.
For F.EA.R. and Quake 4, we set system performance to High for both, but turned off shadows to free up the GPU from bottlenecking performance. In both games, the stock XTUNE DDR2-1066 performance was a little lackluster as it seemed to perform below our expectations and against the trend set in previous benchmarks. Here, the XTUNE's stock performance was in the same range as the DDR2-800 Kingston HyperX and it took the EPP and low latency timings for the XTUNE to rival Kingston's scores in these games.
