From the "make your own timedemo" page that eracer referenced, you can configure it for either DirectX or OpenGL. But I suspect the DirectX version is slower, even on an ATI card. There's one more point of reference for comparing Conroe vs. Athlon 64 gaming and it's found as an update at the beginning of Anand's review: Updated: In Don MacDonald's keynote he also provided us with another reference point for Conroe's performance, this time under Call of Duty 2. We have no idea what settings they ran at but the results we saw were Conroe at 111 fps and a Pentium Extreme Edition 3.73GHz scoring 90 fps. [PS, settings were probably 640x480 go maximize the CPU impact and because COD2 tends to be graphics-card limited.] That 23% boost over current P4 performance seems a lot less than the numbers implied by the recent reviews.
