What's the "trick" for wPrime...?

[hipro5]

As tittle says........

 

What is the trick for wPrime to get lower scores?......

I've tested with my Rams in EVERY Config and I get about the same resault.......Example: 5-5-5-12 and 4-3-3-4 at 600MHz(1200MHz DDR) and then with 1:1 at 3-2-2-2 and 1:1 at 3-3-3-4 .......I keep geting the same resault......

So what's the "trick" of it?......

Thanks.....

MAke sure you're running XP. Wprime doesn't like server03

[Maxi]

You need to sit there and run it a few times, it's not very consistent particularly on a quad. Basically it's the CL "trick"

I can bench it at 5200MHz+ with the QUAD but I get worst score than the others.......It's new to me and I need help though.....

 

What's that CL trick?......could you explain better?.....Thanks.... EDIT: Ahhh....Now I got it......!......Thanks M8..... ;)

 

I'm always on WinXP....

[Massman]

Car Low (3dmark01), I think. Run the bench multiple times in order to find the fastest one.

[Maxi]

Thats it, CL x 20 = Car Low test repeated 20 times. Geeze rich and here I always thought you were an '01 addict in hiding

 

hipro can you post a result of your slower LOL scores

[Trouffman]

5,2Ghz benchable on quad... QX6800 spotted

[Massman]

Ahhhh, makes sense.

 

So, faster CL run = faster wPrime run?

You really need to start benching again

no no, let him use his time USEFULLY coding the HWBot:)

Yup !

hello... i got problem here. can any one help me?

i am new. and iam from indonesia. my english isn't good enough.

my question is : what is the lower point in wprime for Quad Core @ air cooling OCing? Thanx before. Peace!

[Maxi]

Hi rezal,

 

It depends on the core revision and what kind of air cooling, there can be some pretty big differences between them.

[Hak Foo]

If you're benching a processor type which was available in a MP configuration, you can score major wins easily that way by throwing extra sockets into it.

 

Stock clocked dual > overclocked single.

 

But I suppose that sort of stops being an option after the PIII.

 

Don't forget to kill off any parasitic load (Explorer, for example).

[Massman]

Athlon XP has multi-socket motherboards as well

[Hak Foo]

Don't you have to cross some bridges on an XP to convert it to a MP, and then it identifies as a MP (thus not necessarily putting you in the category you wanted to compete in)

[Turrican]

yeah, if you want to use a dual config you must use 2 athlon mps or mod 2 identical xps to mps.

 

the mps and xps are completly the same, only difference is that the last l3 bridge is open or closed (don't remember exactly, need to look in my notes)

[westsider]

core i7 is just blowing up wprime

4Ghz simple OC @8 threads and it goes with 6.5+ sec

4.5GHz and you get ~ 5.2+ sec

[TjerkB]

The Wprime trick is that your cpu has to be 100% stable. Otherwise it makes calcelation fault wich take longer.

Like on 5Ghz 100% stable it can be faster than on 5,2Ghz unstable.

[knopflerbruce]

There is some special tweak that cuts off like 10% of the total score, too. Some use it... no clue what it is, though:rolleyes:

[ceemic]

...and wPrime likes Vista

[Chiller]

on XP or Windows7 it's faster doh.

i did this run on XP, and the score was much better then on Vista.

With every setup by the way.

[ceemic]

Chiller, was that lited and tweaked Vista?

[Hyperhorn]

Win XP x86 isn`t that slow with SP3 (IMO actually the best choice for x86), but when you talk about Vista and newer ones, you have to differ x86 and x64.

 

@knopflerbruce: 10 % is a lot, not to say a HUGE difference. Are you really sure this is some kind of tweak instead of proper OS selection?

that was on Xp, NOT vista.

I ment, with what Vista You compared to it?

 

I'm pretty sure that lited/tweaked 32bit Vista is faster than XP on wPrime.
