new HD x264 video encoding benchmark

hdd thread?

yeh storage thread to take more advantage of a system.. like nero, dvdshrink do

but if the whole intent was cpu bench only.. then its cool as is

i noticed @ Fuggers results that pass1 = 4 threads yet pass2 = 8 threads

Fugger should be getting 160+ fps @ pass1 because hes getting 40+ fps @ pass2

can you make pass1 @ 8 threads?

or am i missing smgt..

Just to compare->

Both the above alongside Phenom 9850 BE in XP 32b:
2500MHz CPU 2000MHz NB 800 RAM 4-4-4-12-15 Ganged
2700MHz CPU 2000MHz NB 800 RAM 4-4-4-12-15 Ganged

2nd pass looks very MEM intensive.

They'll be better Unganged mode and even better in 1066 mode.. but this MB/BIOS has trouble POSTing 1066 mode for now :(

@KTE - can you download the latest incarnation of the benchmark? It includes CPU-Z and a more detailed report with hardware-specifics.

Well, I'm busy testing much for now so can't repeat them but this is my setting now - one I'm testing.

Edit: Added

@KTE - nice series of runs. Did you graph them for your own info?
@makaka - got it, thanks... I'm assuming you ran that 1:1 (mem was @ 1,000 MHz)?
@Ancient - got it, thanks!

Yes this is 1 :1 (:D there is no lower ratio) .memory was @ 1000 Mhz with crappy timing 5-5-5-15:mad:

Does it support 8 cores and x64 OS? If so I'll give this a try...

Edit: Okay, half of the bench uses 8 cores while the other half does not... strange but what the heck, here are my results:

Edit: Okay, half of the bench uses 8 cores while the other half does not... strange but what the heck, here are my results:

Technically, the bench is using all 8 of your cores all the time... the first pass of the encode is simply not as CPU intensive as the 2nd half. See the question about 100 % CPU usage in the FAQ for more.

I'll add your results to the and they'll go live when I update again... btw, you have a smokin' fast machine. It's currently the 3rd fastest in the entire db.

Thanks!

Thanks, it's not even using quadchannel yet (only 2 dimms installed) and 430 FSB is my 24/7 primestable setting. Who's #2? I can go up to ~447 benchable :D
Also this was after ~2weeks uptime :ROTF:

If you browse to the main link (first post of this thread) which is hosted over at techarp, you can d/l the entire .xls file. The three faster machines are clocked @ 3.99, 3.80 and 3.23 GHz.

Ok, can't beat 3,8 or Fugger's machine, of course. But the 3,23 one is mine, no? :shrug:

My bad, yes, that's your machine.

Got it man, thanks! Is that liquid cooled?

Seems nothing reads this boards sensors right yet:rolleyes: Also are your temp readings taking into account that the TjMax = 95°C for this chip and not 105°C?

^Nope, I'm on air w/ windows open and the case door open. I can make a temp corrections in the BIOS I believe but I just use Real Temp for CPU readings and everest for NB, SB, PWM, GPU, and such. Right now I am folding @ 100% and my cores are at 45, 43, 39, 40 w/ Real Temp and 55, 53, 48, 49 w/ Everest--give or take a degree.

I'll try to post my stock numbers on Wednesday.

First off, thanks for the data. I'll update the db later today. To answer your questions, that report is generated by CPU-Z and I believe it's using 105 as the TjMax.

Pretty good temps for that o/c cooled on air. What are your voltages (BIOS not everest) to hold that FSB stable?
