OCZ PC2-8500 Reaper HPC Edition

..:: SuperPi Mod v1.5 ::..
With SuperPi, we begin to see that additional bandwidth and RAM quantity being put to good use. These results represent the computation time in seconds of pi to eight million digits. All three of the 2GB kits are the clear winners here, especially at the lower frequencies where the extra bandwidth boost over the other 1GB modules is more prominent. The computation times for each of the 2GB kits are nearly identical, though the OCZ Reaper HPC kit performs a second faster across the board.
..:: Aquamark 3.0 ::..
AquaMark 3.0 is yet another well known benchmark, geared more towards graphics performance. At lower frequencies, the OCZ Vista Upgrade 2GB kit and OCZ Reaper HPC 2GB kit post the best numbers, however the scaling performance of the Super Talent modules is more prevalent as we up the frequency. The OCZ Reaper HPC kit is again seen posting top numbers across the board, albeit by an extremely small margin.
..:: Company of Heroes ::..
One of the more popular games of recent memory, and easily one of the most graphically and computationally intensive, Company of Heroes offers an incredibly stressful environment for benchmarking purposes. The settings at which all of these benchmarks are generally “High” with “Medium” for things like tree detail. This is also at the default setting of 1024 x 768 for the 6800GT used for testing purposes. Here we see additional performance strength from the OCZ Reaper HPC 2GB kit. It also features an improved performance curve as the frequency increases versus OCZ’s own 2GB Vista Upgrade kit. Again, performance differentials overall are very small with graphics limitations coming in to play.
