Performance - dGPU GTX 780 SLI Gaming

So on this page we'll have a peek at Multi-GPU Gaming as well. Overall the X79 / 4820K platform 'could' be notch faster with more PCI-express lanes over Z87 / 4770K. It however is not as simple as it seems as the 4960X obviously also has two more CPU cores. Will it all matter ? Below we have installed two GeForce GTX 780 card in 2-way SLI mode and will start to see if the platform makes a difference at all. We'll compare the Core i7 4820K, the Core i7 4770K and then Core i7 4960X.

 

So in the test above we apply medium quality settings. This will tremendously boost overall performance as you can see, and that will disclose witch processor is faster in performance. And yeah, Core i7 4960X, despite being clocked 'close' towards the other two processors shows a significant gain in performance over the two quad-cire preocessors. 

But what happens when we make the test more GPU stringent.

In Ultra Quality rendering mode where PCIe bus lane behaviour will become more important yet CPU power less important we can see ther overall perfmance crawl closer to each other. 

We do the same with BioShock, above medium quality settings, again the 4960X stays behindthe 4770K a little, but these are marginal differences really. 

With BioShock once we enable rather extreme Ultra Image quality settings and DDOF, the X79 platform with 4960X crawls back to the top. Interesting results. But let's fire of the 3Dmark series.
