Benchmark Results :::...

PCMark04:::...

 

PCMark04 - 32bit

PCMark was a bit of a disaster this time around. Not only would it not complete for me under Windows 64, but two of the three sets of saved results turned out to be corrupt when I tried to open them. As a result, here's the rather lonely looking score for the FX57 all by its self

 

 

PCMark04 - 64bit

FAILED


 

CodeCreatures:::...

Alas no more as a benchmark, CodeCreatures remains a fierce challenge to your system's prowess, though it wasn't too long ago that I was looking forward to the day when a system returned at least 30FPS at all three resolutions.

CodeCreatures - 32bit

 

 

CodeCreatures - 64bit

 

Here we see a pattern we'll see repeated throughout today's benchmarks, where the FX57 romps away under Windows 32bit and then gets well and truly pegged back under Windows 64bit. As we're using the same hardware, same drivers, same everything for all three test CPUs this tends to throw the shadow of doubt onto the FX57's architecture, though without more specific testing it's hard to be certain.
