Updated: Tom's Hardware 2010 Charts

[Darkerson]

Awesome article! Hopefully you do these more often, like at least once every 3-4 months. That would be great!

who are the crackheads who voted down a request to add an additional SSD drive to the charts? WTF? I should just start voting down every thing everyone says based on the first letter of their posts... that makes just about as much sense.

 

[Onus]

The comparison feature often does not show the names of some or all of the cards that have been selected. Please fix.

 

[longshotthe1st]

I love running the same benchmarks at home to see if everything is running as it should. =)

 

[ervinshiznit]

on the read and write access times of the SSDs, I do believe you mean that the access time is in microseconds, not milliseconds.

Thank you so much for the cooler benchmarks. That was one of the nebulous points about considering a new build. The cooler master 212 seems to be the golden standard around me, but I greatly appreciated seeing results from the myriad of other coolers out there. Keep it up Tom's!

 

[eloric]

I appreciate you guys so much for all your hard work, and thanks for the updated cooler benchmarks. So where is the the Cooler Master 212 Plus? It has to be the most mentioned/recommended chiller on the whole forum. Would like to know if that advice is valid. Also, I am having a hard time understanding the dismal results of the Noctua NH-D14. Sixth? I do not think I have ever seen it less than 3rd in anyone else's evaluation. Please tell us more about how you tested - what chip was overclocked that generated so much (or so little) heat that the former champ dropped so low? Did you put leaf blowers for fans on those Prolimatechs to get the temps so low? Inquiring THG readers are wantign to know.

 

[coggsman]

Thanks for the updates. If I could I make one small request... Could you flip over the Adobe CS5 chart so the slowest processor isn't at the top of the list? I'm lazy, too much scrolling to see the processors I'm interested in.

Great work!

Surprised the cooler list has the Zalman CNPS10X Extreme so highly rated.

 

[Darkv1]

Nice to see charts up for CPU coolers. I look forward to seeing the updates as new models are added.

 

[dunderklumpton]

Glad to see how well my HD4770's stack up against the competition, thanks Toms!

 

[lonewarder]

It is this kind of relentless excellence that keeps Tom's standing head and shoulders above the rest. Outstanding work. (And, thank you.)

 

[evillman]

You guys on Tom's Hardware are the best. These charts can help everybody looking for CPUs, VGAs, etc. Good job.

 

[dEAne]

thanks for the reference tom.

 

[liquidsnake718]

i take it that all things were equal, the system reqs?

Its too bad this coudlnt include the full 2010 lineup with the gtx 4xx fermi cards. It would have put things into current perspective. Still happy to see the 5850 CF going very strong as I might buy another card and crossfire it so it can stay relevant until 2012.

 

[Gin Fushicho]

Will you ever make charts for the cooling ability of computer Chassis'? I'd love that.

Not saying I don't already love what your doing now. =)

 

[jabbrun]

Guys..how about power supplies..they're very important but often overlooked..can we have charts for them?

 

[jerreece]

How is it you get the GTX 460 (latest card released) updated but not the GTX 465, 470, and 480?

 

[Honis]

When I click on the AMD Phenom 965 for comparison in the CPU charts it displays the 955 info.

 

[pinkfloydminnesota]

The charts themselves need updating ... the info is great but the presentation sucks.

 

[eddieroolz]

Thanks for the update!

I agree the way you have to select the benchmark you want to see first then select the cards to compare is kind of bass ackwards


Also here are some reviews of the patriot inferno SSD

and a price quote from newegg 120gb version was 289 now $269, and $245 after mail in rebate...

Could somebody please correct this in the CPU Charts:
"Intel Core i7-970 (Gulftown 4c/8t)
3.2 GHz (Turbo 3.46 GHz), DDR3-1066, 1 MB L2, 8 MB L3"

As far as I know this is a 6c/12t chip ;-)

 

[KingArcher]

The power supplies chart seems to have a broken link or doesn't exist 🙁
