Intel Celeron G530 GPU-CPU Loading Test

Integrated Graphic Test - Intel Celeron G530

Will running demanding GPU Task (Heaven) reduce resource for CPU and cause poor CPU performance ?

In this test
I will run "Heaven" Benchmark to give the Integrated GPU (Intel HD Graphic) high workload

then I will run 7-zip benchmark at the same time to see how much impact with the GPU performance

I hate to say , as a AMD fanboy , Intel did a good job with Sandy Bridge (great job)

This Celeron G530 is dirt cheap , run cool and handle simple game, I tried it with AOE3 and it works okay (playable) , it can handle a bit Company of Heros , but not Dawn of War II.

I really appreciate your test, but I only partially understand the practical implications of your benchmark numbers... Certainly you have the CPU at full load (on windows 32 bit??), but did you try using the GPU overclock features advertised for the H61 chipset (GPU not CPU), or is the iGPU clock locked? Thanks for helping a new learner! :)

@evshrug

The board BIOS don't have iGPU Overclock feature , I couldn't overclock the iGPU. For the CPU it's pretty pointless to OC as only do 101...

Can it decode 1080p mkv files on cpu alone?

@PusterPL

I will try it later

How is box cooler installed, using catches or screws?

I mean is it like LGA 775 where you needed to screw on the cooler to the motherboard or like AM3 where you need to catch both catches?

@siralerd

It's the same type of heatsink (push-pin) cooler as LGA775

alexe astea nu se pot overclocka :( da sunt oricum ami bune decit multe alte modele ... mai ales pe socket 1155 ...

@FrostPlutarc

With both GPU and CPU full load , it takes only 65W from Wattage meter

@pmiccich1

Nope , as I tested with H67 board , it doesn't have overclock option
