AW 9700 3dMark vs Quake FPS !!

Hey can you duys explain why in the review on the 9700





The 3D mark for Sli(2GPU) shows over 9000 and for one shows over 6000.
But when it comes to the game testing (Quake FPS) there is not much change between the two figures...

Can you guys explain why this is, I know that 3dMark does not relate to the game performance directly, but there seem to be quite a change.

Also

http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/88738...t-nemesis.html

Also with the evesham review of the same pc the fps score for COD2 all settings max is 38fps in Call of Duty 2 at 1,440 x 900. Is this good because I play COD2 all settings max at 1900 x 1200. Far Cry I have not tested but this not seem right for a system that gets over 9000 in 3Dmark, evenso because in COD2 the have an option in the settings "optimizing for sli".

Many thanks for your response

JKK

I am going to take the dark side here and say that drivers (and somewhat hardware) are first optimized for 3dMark and not necessarily for games. Both major 3d card manufacturers have cheated on 3dMark in the past.

You will seldom see the dramatic increase in actual games that you see in 3dMark for new drivers/hardware.

I don't trust the pc pro review, but it could be because I dont want to, if you get my meaning.

For the Quake score, notice they ran it at really low resolution, it's probably more CPU limited than anything. I'd be interested to see it run at a higher res.
