XTU score variance

[xsuperbgx]

Why are my scores so low on this? There seems to be a big difference in scores, is there something else that effects the scores? There are people that are scoring almost 2x my score at the same clocks.

I have tried w7 32 and 64. I tried downloading xtu profiles, but they don't make any difference.

Memory speed doesn't seem to make that large of a difference. What am I missing?

 

4770k and M6G.

You have to install Service Pack 1 on windows 7. That should fix the performance.

Thanks!!

That's what the Australian guys figured as well. They went up from 1370 to 1400+ points by tuning the memory.

 

I like it!

I noticed something pretty strange yesterday. Boot into windows with 100 BCLK x 35 Multi 2000 Mhz Memory. Result was 360 Points. Increased clock with TurboV to 104 BCLK and reran the benchmark. Still 360 points. Closed benchmark, ran again and again 360 points. Tested several times even after a restart the result was the same.

 

Boot into windows with 104 x 35 straight pushed it to 372 points. Now raising the BCLK to 107 the system still runs stable but the score stays the same. Pretty weird.

Testing I've read so far has been similarly weird also. You aren't alone on this sort of behavior.

it's an interesting bench

[knopflerbruce]

Maybe I'm not great at programming, but... to me this sounds as if the score is determined by the settings directly, that there is no real measurement done.

yeah, it's if the software doesn't recognize the overclock in windows directly.

[der8auer]

I just spent some more time with XTU and I can always reproduce the same thing. Even by overclocking with the XTU software the score does not change. As soon as I set the same values directly in the BIOS and boot into windows the score is improving.

 

XTU shows the correct clock but still doesnt affect the score

[Massman]

I can test it in my lab, but I don't think I have that same behavior on my system. Even if I increase via CoreCenter or XTU, the score increases normally. But I'll test it out anyway.

 

372 points is extremely low even for stock. Haswell should do around 850pts stock with default turbo and high frequency memory. Seems like your installation is broken somehow.

was testing with a i3 ivy bridge dual core for the dual core ranking. So points are actually fine looking at the other scores.

 

I had about 1000 points with a 4770k at 4,3 GHz so performance should be fine.

 

der8auer, do you have similar behavior when benching prime95? Afaik XTU uses the same algorithm.

 

I will check that.

[xxbassplayerxx]

Has there been any further testing on this?

[FireKillerGR]

My question is, what if you boot 6Ghz open xtu, downclock to a benchable freq and then run xtu?

[Massman]

No further testing on my end. I'll see if I can do it this week.

[der8auer]

Once my exams are over next week I'll be back testing aswell

[Threedhero]

Only getting around 750 points here on haswell stock but im using a 4GB kit at 1400mhz. i hear ram plays a big part so guess 8GB kit is the way to go. Ill try fresh OS first.

[SoF]

lol all that sounds pretty much like 3DM99/00 - not sure if Intel or just retro...

Ram performance (frequency, timings), not density .

[Strunkenbold]

I can only confirm here, was going from 101MHz to 105MHz. Score didnt improve by a single point.

Changing multi's works though and has a score impact.

[Massman]

Has anyone tried the following:

 

- boot with 105bclk

- wait before loading the OS

- use something like the Asus OC Panel to increase frequency to 107bclk

- check performance

 

Compare performance to

 

- 105bclk boot

- 107bclk boot

[SF3D]

The XTU competition is over soon, so I will release my tweak for this benchmark.

My frequencies are real, so 5800MHz is worth of 1537 points for real.

6GHz is near 1600 points

 

So, stay tuned folks!

1. Open XTU on low clock

2. OC panel or software change ratio to high clock and start XTU, then change ratio to low. The score must be high ratio score.

 

 

It's called " one sec" XTU benchmark.

Magic hahahha ....

No, that have nothing to do with the results what I have seen here. Sorry
