    PCMark05 Tweaking Thread

    in Benchmark software

    Posted

    imho the thing with this benchmark is you can achieve give or take the same result either by changing files,codecs tmp files at the pcmark folder OR changing the way your os sees them...

     

    text edit:change temp rtf file (not good) OR change riched library to give always 0 in any search it does (you tell me),the result would be the almost same...

    TW: it's all about flash desktop and DWM settings

    WBR:most know some good IE settings.What if i write a custom css and intergrate it to IE (which has this function in the settings) and just let it render any html that has text and only text... 200+pages here i come... the same can be achieved with just replacing the temp file...

    Video and Audio:change the dll in the pcmark file and bypass the submission error in futeremark OR write a script and everytime the computer tries to use vorbis.dll let's say to bypass it and use an other one in system32 folder.Again the result will just be a little bit worse...

    What about Memory latency.Memory pool quota when running the latency test is VERRRRRRYYYY hard to get... but doable... just tell the os when it runs latency test just low the momory pool quota and let it take most of the random 16mb out of cpu's cache and let it fly...OR use a method that i don't want to talk about and give you an error in futuremark...

     

    All above is the gray area of pcmark in my eyes...I think the benchmark has evolved a lot,which is good because more and more people have become interested in it, but has reached a level that it cannot be controlled... I mean why keep the xp startup limit then,or keep the bugged amd drivers... that's just me though...

     

    PS sorry for my bad English
