The nVENTIV test system is based on the AMD FX-51 2.2GHz CPU.

The processor will be overclocked as follows:
AMD FX-51 2.2 GHz / 200MHz FSB to 2.7 GHz / 200MHz FSB

The benchmark results are made from the base system
running at 2.2 GHz standard speed and then the same CPU
overclocked to an awesome 2.7 GHz.

3Dmark 2001 SE

3Dmark 2001 SE tests the graphical performance of a system,
the graphics card is highly tested but system speed is
also very important to score highly in this benchmark.
The 2.7 GHz system is significantly faster than the standard 2.2 GHz PC,
especially when we take into account that the graphics card
was not overclocked in both cases.
 

Pi performance

Two Pi calculation programs are used to measure CPU and memory performance.
Super Pi is used to calculate Pi to 1 million digits while Pifast calculates
3.3 million digits of Pi. These benchmark are an excellent test of the number
crunching capabilities of a CPU.

UT2K3 Benchmarking

This is an actual game benchmark a mix of graphics card performance and
system performance. Here are the results:
