Benchmark software

Discuss benchmarking software.

  1. If there is a 220mb/s limit on the XP load test, why are software ramdrives still illegal? This makes no sense to me. The rule started before anything could even get close to that number so it made sense. Now though with SSDs having to be limited to get under the cap, why are software ramdisks still illegal?

  4. Hey Guys, It's been 2 days that I have battled this problem and I have come to a dead end. I pretty much tried EVERYTHING but a new cpu (Fresh install of all Oses, dif. psu, dif. ram, dif. vga cards etc, dif. versions direcpll, deleting direcpll etc). Here's the error (no mater in which windows version or vid. card I use): This same OS runs Vantage fine... Any ideas?

Ok boys, you should consider yourselves lucky to be able to try my customized benchmarking-oriented Windows ( ok, I might be overreacting and exaggerating I don't get to talk nice about myself often ) Ok! ok! I'll stop mumbling I haven't integrated any CD Keys, so yes, you can legally download these operating systems and try them for free for 30 days without a key or forever just by using your genuine CD Key. They're in ISO format archived in split RAR files. Just download the archives and extract the ISO and burn it with a cd/dvd burning application ( Nero, etc ). The links are interchangeable. Here we go: Windows Vista Ultimate x86 Xtreme …

    Is it possible to review the situation about pifast.? There is no verification links or checksum to check for cheating. But I've found a simple way to fool it and I wouldn't be suprised if some of those super efficiant runs were done using this. I know this is gonna really annoy a lot of guys who put a massive lot of time and effort into benching but we need unhackable benches and I'm really sorry to bring all this up. A small vid I made...

    When running 3dmark3 do you run HT on or off on the i7's? I have a 920 and its running very slow on this i think. I run the 920 at 4.65GHz and only get mid 15000's for points. Im running a gtx295 with the core at 750 and the shader clock at at 1634 and the mem at 1265. Would 15000 points right for this system?

Hello, I have made available the official version of PrimeCores 2010 V1.0, you can download it by typing "PrimeCores" on major search engines , i open this thread for report any notices or your requests concerning this new application, the application is a multitasking benchmark that exploits the ability of CPU to search primes, PrimeCores can handle up to 24 CPU cores. Thank You All.

  12. I am going to be beta testing this program soon. I have notified the user about hwbot (they were unaware of the site). It would potentially be a great hwbot integrated (like wprime) program or you can use the online validation they will provide! The programmers nickname on i4memory.com is "alice" if you want to PM. Or use the contact us form on the website.

    I am working on a version of wPrime that uses the 1.55 engine and all the features of 2.xx (good hardware detection, detecting thread count on vista, better score management, score submission, etc). The idea is that it'll offer comparable scores and the nifty 2.xx stuff. So far the results are promising but I'm looking for more comparisons with 1.55 so if you'd like to help out: Version 1.64: http://www.wprime.net/Download/wPrime164.zip Version 1.55: http://www.wprime.net/Download/wPrime155.zip I need 32M comparisons, 3 consecutive runs on each version (from a fresh start, no restarts in between). And if you have time (or a quad hexa-core system that …

    I was thinking. When I'm benching superpi 1M or Pifast on a heavily overclocked Pentium 3, it takes between 1 and 3 minutes to get the job done. This is quite some time to keep your OC stable. But when benching on a new i5 670 LN2 cooled system, these times go down to as little as a few seconds. This way the record is more getting the allure of a suicide screenshot than a real benchmark Of course, there are still superpi 32M and wPrime1024M available, which helps a lot. These two are now down to ~5 and ~1 minutes, respectively. But eventually they will also go down quite a bit. The discussion points that I want to make: - Is a benchmark such as Pifast stil…

    I know that for benching you should try to have the best hardware and cooling. But I hate it how most benchmarks are extremely Intel biased. I'm a big AMD fanboy which why I didn't get Intel but I just got 5770 CF and somebody gets 5000 more 3dmark06 points than me with no GPU overclock because then have an i7.

    I thought for sure we would have at least one mighty overclocking warlord brave enough to defeat the intrepid rickss69 in this benchmark: http://www.liquidnitrogenoverclocking.com/benchmark_results.shtml Is there no one who can improve upon the 3 hour 12 minute 40 second "torture test" result turned in by Rick?

    I have a big problem. I spent 2 days and 10 hours trying to beat a score of my team mates in 3mb L2 cache category. After I broke their record, my team mates acused me of cheating because i'm not an old bencher. I've beaten the score of an Q6600 and the scores of E7xxx clas in low clock challenge 3600mhz but, Monstru and Poparamiro said indirectly that I cheated. http://hwbot.org/community/submission/961724_enz0_superpi_core_2_e7400_2.8ghz_13sec_843ms This is the link. Can anyone verify the checksum and give my rightful place? Thank you in advance.

    Hello to all, I wanted to pose this question to all, especially the moderators. I have a small program I wrote that can be used as a benchmarking app, but it takes a few hours to run (WR is 3 hours 12 mins, typical system run on an un-overclocked box is about 5 hours). Is it OK to post a link and ask if anyone wants to run it? I don't want to ruffle any feathers. Thanks!

    How does one go about submitting a bench result for the top twenty when you have no internet access after completion of the benchmark? PCI frequency is so high it knocks the lan ports out until it is rebooted. With a "save as" file, what are the steps to get it submitted and verified?
