Which prime95 test?

hey guys, which prime95 test best simulates the conditions of hard gaming - like crysis? is there a specific program i can use for that besides the game itself? thanks.

yeah i know, im wanting to stress the cpu though.

Apologies, your question seemed worded for testing Crysis which is more GPU bound.

prime95 will stress your cpu more than crysis can.

No game really stresses a CPU like Prime95 does, if you pass a Prime test then you should be okay for any game.

thank you. took 500000 replies but i finally got what i was looking for.

I would say Blend. That closest approximates how a game can use your core. But a game probably won't use all 4 cores like P95 can. If you're anal, you can reduce the # of threads so as to achieve maximum OC for a particular # of game threads.

Small FFTs don't even stress the caches on some modern chips. They're often the first things to fail.

GTA4 appears to use 3 threads, and not always at full load depending on how fast the CPU is relative to the GPU.

OK:

Use SmallFFT if you want the absolute maximum CPU core stress, and don't care about anything else

Use Blend if you want to stress the core, the memory, and the interface, but don't need to stress the core to its absolute maximum (it won't stress the core as hard as SmallFFT)

how about instead of wasting your time posting useless information in my thread you go jump off a cliff?

It might, but that would give you a good mixed workload to stress everything.
