Team hardware info.nl has found a tweak for catzilla which can give a boost of around 200-700 point on your total score by lowering the loading time with approx. 5000 ms

 

This tweak is already tested by different users and systems and all setups had a gain between 200-700 point on the total Catzilla score.

 

The tweak:

The tweak is very easy, start the PC and let it boot into windows.

Then start Catzilla and afterwards start 3dmark 11.

Min. 3dmark 11 (don't close it) and run Catzilla.

You will find a nice boost in your loading time and thus on your total score.

 

Example : my loading time normal is around 9K, after this tweak it is 4K, see

 

http://hwbot.org/submission/2723617_

 

Tweak is tested on X99, Z97 and also AMD setup, all had a gain of around 5K loading time.

 

Please try it and give us feedback of your boost.

Thanks for the feedback, I did not tested it on a laptop.

The boost is less than I expected.

Where the other sub scores beside the loading time approx. the same, because there is always a fluxuation between the runs.

Thanks for the heads up. Such a weird one, but hey... it works.

+1 point @ cpu

rest was the same exept the loading time

 

for 720p

Thanks for the update, I now understand the small difference in the score.

Your loading time even gain almost 8K (from 60391 to 52273), but the loading time is so bad that it has almost no effect on the total score.

Please try it on a normal PC (best with a SSD) and you will find the boost of 200-700 points on your total score.

Did anyone try installing Catzilla on ramdisk? does it improve loading time?

I have tested it, but the loading times did not improve that much with a ramdisk.

At least not on my system (X99)

-> Did not tested this tweak in combination with a Ramdisk btw, so ..........

ramdisk and 3dmark on the background.

stil on the wifes laptop

Boost is high there.

Curious to see how it all effect your bench system.

Let us know.

:celebration:

It definitely works, almost +1000 points in Catzilla 720P! 31679 without 3DM11 vs. 32639 with 3DM11 open

Cool, that is a huge gain you got there!!!!

Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated
