Unless it was the placebo effect, I'm going to say Ivy is a it more than the 2% better for dolphin you said, especially as they were by the same user on an otherwise identical rig.
This just in: Man with no data makes ridiculous claims. More at 11.
Xalphenos Wrote:My point in all this is that you are saying NV's estimate of ~2% performance increase is wrong based on the comparison of two chips with dissimilar clocks. Of course Gabriel noticed a performance increase he was running a chip that was at least 200Mhz faster in addition to being ~2% faster per clock.
(3.9/3.7)-1= 5%
So a 7% total speedup assuming everything you wrote is correct. Not exactly a big speedup.
I would also like to point out that unless your system is having serious thermal issues temperature is not going to limit turbo boost. Something else is wrong with your system.
