Benchmarks
Windows 7 Boot Time – Measuring with digital stopclock
x264 HD 4.0 – 1st and 2nd pass encoding
CrystalDiskMark 3 – Sequential Read/Write
Cinebench 11.5 – CPU Score
AIDA64 – Disk/Cache benchmarks
SiSoftware SANDRA 2011 – CPU benchmarks
3DMark 11 – Performance and Extreme preset
Gaming – DIRT 3 and Skyrim (Average FPS)

The above benchmarks will be run on all systems and compared. The Titan Prodigy Polar delivers mid-range performance and will be compared to a series of previously reviewed systems.

Titan Prodigy Polar takes advantage of Intel Ivy Bridge’s Core i5-3570K which uses 6MB Smart Cache and has a stock frequency of 3.4GHz (boosts to 3.8GHz). This chip has been overclocked and thus is set to 4.20GHz. Intel Speedstep is enabled so when idle the chip will sit at 1.6GHz.

Titan Prodigy Polar uses 8GB of DDR3 operating at 1600MHz and CL9. Graphics power comes from the KFA2 GTX 660Ti EX OC 2GB and combined with a punchy Intel 330 SATA 3 SSD we have the makings for a very good setup.
