Xeon E5-2640 V2 - 1080p - Radeon VII - GRID 2 Benchmarks

The Xeon E5-2640 V2 GPU ranks between the Xeon D-1587 and Xeon E5603 in the gaming rig hierarchy. It's 0.2% less powerful than the Xeon D-1587 but still offers 0% more juice than the Xeon E5603 for those epic gaming sessions. When it comes to fragging, the Xeon E5-2640 V2 leaves the Opteron 4386 in the dust with a comfortable 3.1% lead in FPS. In the realm of virtual worlds, the Xeon E5-2640 V2 shows a stellar performance leap, outpacing the last-gen Xeon E5-1620 V3 by a whopping 6.4%. The Xeon E5-2643 V2 shows the advantage of having 6 cores when it comes to multi-threaded gaming, leaving the Intel's Xeon E5-2640 V2 behind. Once again, the Xeon E5-1620 V3 gets left behind in the pixel dust, as its Ivy Bridge-EP-based successor shows a ~6.4% speed boost in the latest game benchmarks. The Xeon E5-1620 V3 is a testament to how far behind the high-end Haswell-EP-based GPUs lag compared to the new Ivy Bridge-EP lineup. With its performance, the Xeon E5-2640 V2 snags the 298th spot on the leaderboard. The more affordable 8-core Opteron 4386 delivers a solid punch in the gaming benchmarks, and with a price tag of ~$1469.72, its higher score is thanks to those additional threads. Intel's Xeon E5-2640 V2 may only have a slight edge over the Xeon E5-1620 V3, but it opens up a significant lead over the stock Opteron 4386 in gaming marathons. For casual gaming, the Xeon E5-2640 V2 holds the fort with its 8-cores and 16-threads, though it won't be breaking any high score records.
