3DMark 11
 |
 |
 |
| Stock | 4.1 GHz | 4.3 GHz |
3DMark11 is a graphics benchmarks designed to stress DirectX11 features. Our overall score went from a 5714 to 6068 with our 700MHz overclock, netting us around a 6% increase. If we isolate the CPU by itself we see that it jumped up an impressive 14.6% with just our overclock.
Cinebench 11.5
 |
 |
 |
| Stock | 4.1 GHz | 4.3 GHz |
Cinebench tests a system CPU performance through rendering in 2D and 3D. Stock, our CPU was able to score 3.04 points, which then jumped up to 3.63 with our OC, a 16% gain.
Unigine Heaven
 |
 |
 |
| Stock | 4.1 GHz | 4.3 GHz |
Unigine Heaven is a DirectX 11 benchmark that heavily stresses the GPU but not so much the CPU. I decided to include it because it gives a pretty good representation of many modern DirectX 11 games. Our overclock did very little in this GPU dependent benchmark, which just shows that our 7950 is being pushed to its limits.
DiRT 3
 |
 |
 |
| Stock | 4.1 GHz | 4.3 GHz |
DiRT 3 represents a mid-level graphically intensive game. With all settings maxed at 1080p, we see the same results as with the Unigine benchmark, no noticeable change overall between stock and 4.3GHz.
reviewer, you need to post your specs for test rig…unless icant find it
