This will be the Official Support thread for Matt's BenchMate benchmark tool. This software will verify the Windows timer issue (known as the RTC bug) some users could run into when running older Intel or any AMD processor on Windows 8/10/11.

But most important  it will perform a thorough check the integrity and output of the benchmark.
Thanks to the Automated  online uploads via the BenchMate wrapper or manual upload via the BenchMate Datafile it allows for easier  and faster submitting as most hardware fields will be auto prefilled.

Benchmate Change Logs:

Benchmate 13.0 - 13.4.0

• Features & Improvements

  • Improved User Interface trying to get a cleaner look

    • Main window can be resized and maximized

    • Sorting of the result list is now possible by clicking on the column headers

    • New Status Bar for loading, warning and error states

    • Support for docking of child windows (ColdbugMate, Debug Log, Analyze Results)

    • Windows will now remember the last position, docking state, size and visibility

  • 7-Zip:

    • Added Thread Count option to CLI wrapper (thanks to Bastiaan_NL)

    • Added Timer resolution option to CLI wrapper

    • Fixed a bug that reported an error in BenchMate when a run was aborted

  • Any errors in benchmarks will immediately show a Windows notification (make sure you are allowing them)

  • It's no longer necessary to install BenchMate in the Program Files folder to launch successfully

  • HWiNFO in 64 bit is now launched in a new unmanaged mode. The app will not be listed in the process list, there are no affinity or process priority settings and it is not guarded by BenchMate at all. This was a necessary step to avoid that BenchMate only works in the Program Files folder.

  • Improved error messages for users in case the CLI Wrapper can not load the benchmark (benchmark's version not supported, files invalid, ...)

  • Windows 11 24H2 and Windows Server 2025 is now correctly detected

  • Added support for AMD Threadripper 9000 series (Shimada Peak)

  • Added detection for AMD Strix Point, Fire Range, Shimada Peak, Turin and Intel Panther Lake

  • Added detection for some legacy CPUs like Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium III and several Core architectures

  • Updated tools: HWiNFO 8.26, GPU-Z 2.65.1, CPU-Z 2.15

  Bugfixes

  • y-cruncher 0.8.5:

    • hotfix for detecting invalid scores determined by y-cruncher's spot check

    • shows the progress of the benchmark again (summing percentages)

  • CINEBENCH R20/R23, GPUPI, all CLI benchmarks:

    • process errors in run initialization phase will now be properly reported

  • Unknown Windows versions will be marked correctly as unknown in the result dialog

  • Fixed invalid results due to undetected Intel iGPUs

  • Fixed Bug Reporter, reports will now correctly be sent to bugs.benchmate.org again

has geekbench 4 cuda been fixed yet ? its splitting the cuda scores into single and multicore scores and then fails to upload . 

 

Uploading is not yet supported, coders are on holiday… does taking the screenshot work via the BenchMate tool ?

X399 Creation and 2950X

1903 W10 

11/14/18 drivers/bios for the mobo

Ive tried reinstalling, new downloads, etc. basically I have gotten the software to open once with this setup to do some testing. Same OS but with my 990FXA-UD3/9370 combo and it pulls up just fine. 

Basically what happens when I open the program is the cmd prompt looking box opens, does it thing, closes and then nothing. Task Manager shows BenchMate running but I get no box to pop up. I don’t show anything in the task manager keeping it from opening.

The compute test of Geekbench 4 is now fully supported with version 0.8, coming asap. With 0.7.x the software could not distinguish between CPU and Compute score.

As Leeghoofd said, uploading to HWBOT will not be possible until BenchMate is officially integrated into HWBOT. It's no biggie, the benchmark category just needs some configuration on the bot side.

I think Matt is working on the CBs

have tried installing and reinstalling and still can't get it to pull back up with X399. May do a fresh install of 1903 before the comp open up Wednesday to see what happens

Thats the reason for the compo to get more people in and do debugging to get it smooth sailing for the future

I keep getting errors extracting it. I've tried on 2 different PCs, one with W10 one with W7. Both get the same errors. Tried 3 different file downloads so far. Same thing every time. So not likely bad downloads.

 

Actually...W10 threw another similar error one time I tried extracting it. But the 2 above are consistent between 7 and 10. Happen every time I try extracting it. Even when I redownload it.

App seems to work fine regardless. I have no idea why...

EDIT: Tried manually submitting a SPI-1M score just now. "Invalid data file: Unable to decrypt the datafile"

Screenshot works...

Edited July 7, 20195 yr by MrGenius

The file you are getting an error from is just part of the normal Cinebench package. You can skip these files, they are just sample results shipping with the benchmark.

You can only upload GPUPI results for now. HWBOT can't handle other benchmarks yet because they need to be integrated. Hopefully soon.

I installed my win10 (1903) Benchmate OS on Ryzen , testing went smooth (even the CB's) Afterwards  switched to AM3 and got issues to launch BenchMate.

Did a fresh install of Windows on the Crosshair V and all was fine again...

 

So I assume no platform switching with the same SSD

Screenshots via Benchmate works with all Benchmarks and Platforms we need for the Competition? Or do i have to install and bench some Systems multiple Times until it works and the Screens are valid?

Submissions via the screenshot made by the Benchmate tool. Them screens need to be valid (standard rules), so no blocking of the rendered scene for the CBs , Only CPUZ CPU and mem is required and the BenchMate score too...

The background is almost ready

 

Again the concept is to have fun, but more important to provide solid feedback on how you experience working with the BenchMate,

if you have issues/probs/rearks to report it there in the Official Support thread.

Screenshot is hard to manage with FullHD Resolution. The Result Window is jumping to the right and blocking the rendered Scene. Is it a Win7 issue? I am just playing a bit.. later for Competition with Win10.

Edited July 10, 20195 yr by Digg_de

Nope reportesd this to Matt too, apparently it has a predefined spot so I had to juggle the rest around…  aim from Matt is to limit the usage of CPUZ too, but atm I find it too early days

Tried a fresh install of 1903 last night. No dice on my TR4 setup. Tried turning HPET on and off and back on again. Hoping 0.8 fixes my issue(whatever it may be)

Maybe video it, so Matt can have a closer look... I did a fresh install, no drivers whatsoever, just extracted the benchmate folder and run the Benchmate executable as administrator

I'm currently testing the new version on several platforms. Successfully tested it on TR4 on my bench OS (for reviews):

https://hwbot.org/submission/4191705__mat__cinebench___r20_with_benchmate_ryzen_threadripper_2990wx_10984_pts

Don't be shocked about the world record, I've added a beta benchmark category that's called "Cinebench R20 with BenchMate" to make direct uploading to HWBOT possible.

Nonetheless we will find your problem. BenchMate 0.8 brings a fresh new Bug Report Tool, so bugs can be easily but also thorougly reported just by a few clicks.

Interesting screenshot for sure.
Seems like BenchMate wasn't able to wait for the invalidated, old dialog position before the screen was captured.

I have changed the result dialog's behaviour now to always move back to the bottom right position of the screen.

The position of the result dialog is fixed because I think it's bad design to search the screenshot each time for the same information. It's even worse of course when comparing multiple screens, which we all do very often I'm sure.

Just reposition all other items, the result will be the same. Benchmark to the top left, CPU-Z windows to the right. Long term I think it's reasonable to remove the need for CPU-Z and GPU-Z windows on the screen. It's very time consuming and it shouldn't bring any extra information to the table. If it still does we should integrate it into the result window. So there will be much more space available in the future.

That’s absolutely fantastic to hear. Really want to bench tonight on both DDR4 and DDR3. Will download newest update if it’s out when I get home. 

Uploaded the current log files. Again it will open the cmd prompt and then close and nothing happens. Please advise.

launcher32.log client.log bmservice32.log

Does Geekbench4 have to be the paid version for it to hook into the result? I don't have Geekbench4 paid and BenchMate 0.7.1 doesn't recognise any result once the GB has finished and uploaded the result to the Geekbench browser...

By the way, I was changing the Bus Speed during the GB4 run with ASUS' TurboV Core and BenchMate didn't complain.

Edit: Feature request - is it possible and/or likely to support saving the screenshots as .PNG? The .JPG is poor quality especially when it comes to CINEBENCH renders.

Info:

• Motherboard & CPU used: C6H & Ryzen 7 1800X
• Operating System used ( 32/64bit, exact OS version, stripped or not): Windows 10 Version 1903 (OS Build 18362.239)
• Drivers installed for chipset: AMD Chipset Drivers Version 1.6.13.0400
• What you tried to solve the problem : posted here ?

No, free version is enough but 0.7.1 had a problem with capturing the scores. It has been fixed already in 0.8.

Skew measurement is very different now on BenchMate, more precise and has less performance impact. I will go into details about it in the announcement post. Needs testing for sure.

PNG, noted and no problem at all. Might need to be combined with Gzip compression so the result uploading won't take forever on slow connections.

haha, now you tell me! (USD$9.99 later - 4192919_cbjaust_geekbench4_multi_core_ryzen_7_1800x_30773_points/)

Yeah PNG would be great. Thanks.

Re: Skew, I found that CINEBENCH R15 would get a skew error warning quite a bit.
