Posted July 3, 20222 yr I'm new here. And I have a question: How can I run Benchmate if the motherboard does not support the HPET timer? Basically there is no HPET option in the bios. When I starting Benchmate I just get a error message: "Driver Init failed The driver could not initialize the High Precision Event Timer for reliable time measurement". I have read the rules and almost all benchmark need this Benchmate. So if I can not start it, that would be quite a problem. Motherboard: Abit AB9 QuadGT (Socket 775) with the lattes BIOS OS: Windows 10 Pro 64bit
July 3, 20222 yr Crew Tip: Install Windows XP or 7 for benching fun... your scores will be way faster than playing around on windows 10. I think BenchMate doesn't support platforms this old.
July 3, 20222 yr Author Thanks for the Tip. So BanchMate doesn't support this platform probably... I will check Windows XP. I need to find the install CD
July 3, 20222 yr Crew I know it can be done on 7 with BM, but there's no need , you just delay your benching fun to get it working. XP and Win7 64 bit are the more suitable OSses
