Nu er tråden vist løbet lidt af sporet. Jeg kender godt den test fra Legion Hardware. Konklusionen er, at i virkelighedens verden er der kun ca. 5% forskel i ydelse i CrossFire mellem X48 og P45.
Citat:
Now when testing with the new hit title Devil May Cry 4 we found that a typical P45 setup is going to be 36% faster than a P35 system at 1920x1200 when running Crossfire Radeon HD 4850 graphics cards for example. The X48 was also roughly 6% faster than the P45 chipset, and I would suggest that this is a best case scenario for the high-end X48 chipset. Here the X48 and X38 chipsets delivered identical performance at 1920x1200.
Right now it is possible to purchase a decent ASUS P45 motherboard, such as the P5Q Pro for example, at just $150 US. Pairing this board with Crossfire Radeon HD 4850 graphics cards would cost around $550 US, making for an extremely lethal combo! The cheapest ASUS X48 board on the other hand, is the P5E Deluxe at $220 US, and we are not sure that at this price it is worth the 5% Crossfire performance gain. Still, if you are looking to get the most out of your Crossfire setup, then the X48 is the weapon of choice.
Det er derfor, at jeg har valgt P45 som det næste chipset i mit kommende setup.
Jeg er bare i tvivl om, hvilke RAM jeg skal stoppe i.
