560 vs 660 in 3d

[Thickbrit]

I decided to test a 560 against a 660 in 3d benchmarks and here are the results.I ran a set of tests at 250fsb + 2-5-2-2 and another set at 266fsb + 2.5-7-4-4.All tests were run under identical conditions and i ran each test twice and kept the best result.I'm not sure i trust this spi though as the difference in results between identical runs was quite varied.

250fsb.........01.........03.........05.........am3.........spi

560..........30119.....16227.....7274......87881......29.937

660..........32493.....16557.....7198......89559......29.266

Thats quite an interesting set of results there. Intel have worked on some things and not others it would appear?

Strange that an extra 1MB of level 2 cache loses you marks Must be more to it than that ...

I seem to remember, prob in CustomPC that the pipelines are diff lengths - maybe thats it?

Mmm sounds possible, hopefully that means better stability in high overclocks?
