PCPitstop scores...

Indy · Post by **Indy** » Mon Apr 29, 2002 9:45 am

It's that time again

I just replaced the motherboard in my system and went from a score of 985 to a score of 2314

Looks like that motherboard purchase is already paying off (things are moving much smoother & faster too)

Ok, ran it again, just to make sure it wasn't a fluke, then I ran it one more time (after rebooting)...

btw, this is on a clean system, just reformatted & reloaded windows last night...all up to date drivers and no clutter

Whats weird is that before I replaced this motherboard, I was getting scores consistently in the 900-1000 range...I replace the mobo with a new gigabyte board, do a little tweaking, reformat the hard drive & some other house cleaning items, and these are the scores I'm getting...

still... new mobo = 8x faster CPU? I don't get it. And RAMBUS has superiot bandwidth to DDR by at least 33%. There's some error somewhere that's increasing your scores.... can you post the part by part score breakdown?

Ya think

1 The speed of the computer when doing computations with integers , in millions of instructions per second (MIPS), as measured by our Dhrystone benchmark. 3241 1/20

162

2 The speed of the computer when displaying video, in millions of
pixels per second (MP/s), times the number of bits per pixel (bpp) of the display configuration, to yield millions of bits/second (Mb/s) 79 MP/s x
32 bpp =
2538 Mb/s 1/30

85

3 The speed of the computer when reading, writing, and copying memory , in megabytes per second (MB/s). 4423 1/10

442

4 The speed of the computer when reading and writing small disk files on your C: drive, with caching enabled, in megabytes per second (MB/s). 660 1/2

330

5 The speed of the computer when reading and writing large disk files on your C: drive, with caching disabled, in megabytes per second (MB/s). 2.2 1

2.2

Indy · Post by **Indy** » Mon Apr 29, 2002 11:57 am

Well, here's the breakdown...if there is an error, my guess is that it's with the first score (it's giving me the same range of scores on three separate tests)...

1 The speed of the computer when doing computations with integers , in millions of instructions per second (MIPS), as measured by our Dhrystone benchmark.

27233 1/20 1362

2 The speed of the computer when displaying video, in millions of pixels per second (MP/s), times the number of bits per pixel (bpp) of the display configuration, to yield millions of bits/second (Mb/s)

441 MP/s x 32 bpp = 14119 Mb/s 1/30 471

3 The speed of the computer when reading, writing, and copying memory , in megabytes per second (MB/s).

4377 1/10 438

4 The speed of the computer when reading and writing small disk files on your C: drive, with caching enabled, in megabytes per second (MB/s).

311 1/2 155

5 The speed of the computer when reading and writing large disk files on your C: drive, with caching disabled, in megabytes per second (MB/s).

5.4 1 5.4

Clear your cookies

Delte ALL temp internet files

clean out the temp folder

clean all that junk out, make sure cookies gone etc...

REboot machine

immediately go to pcpitstop and run tests again

tell us what happens

EvilAjax · Post by **EvilAjax** » Mon Apr 29, 2002 3:08 pm

When I get a new Motherboard w/out Onboard video, I will install my 64MB GeForce to see if my score goes up a few hundred points. I fail that Video quality test so badly..

My latest score was 389 though.

I'm guessing that if the Dhrystone benchmark (which was 26667) is moved over one decimal point, the weighted score becomes 133.3, and the overall score becomes 1196...

I'm thinking that for some reason, decimal points are being thrown with my results...and it's offsetting the true final mark...I should be seeing results probably in the 1000-1200 range with the system that I've got...
