u' so throwed dude

**youngpro** · 12-01-2009, 07:10 PM

she thinks your SOOOOO throwed man

**Jor3lBR** · 12-01-2009, 07:12 PM

Damm nice SSD tweaking!

**~~TheKarmakazi~~** · 12-01-2009, 07:40 PM

what did you do to your "web page rendering" score, crazy pages/sec?!?! very nice

**youngpro** · 12-01-2009, 09:18 PM

thanks mate, just using a different browser for webpages/sec

**[XC] gomeler** · 12-01-2009, 11:49 PM

Nice testing

This december I'll finally devote some time to this benchie. I've wondered about forcing a faster web browser for that test, you confirmed my suspicions

Looking forward to the complete run.

Ah nice you found a better one than I did

I gave that tip to dinos ages ago too

**dinos22** · 12-02-2009, 02:13 PM

you did? i guess i dont really remember cause i dont enjoy this bench hahahah

**Vivi** · 12-02-2009, 02:29 PM

welldone pro! you are the best ! (nacho libre voice)

Yeah was in PM when you were having crap results with 5x iram.

**youngpro** · 12-02-2009, 05:49 PM

thanks karmakazi, you and chispy have always been very good at pcmark

**hipro5** · 12-03-2009, 02:29 AM

Video encoding is HUGE.....How come?.....

P.S. Is it "legal" to "manipulate" the "default" benchmark?.....
I mean, this thing about the PCMark and CHANGING the DEFAULT browser of it with ANOTHER one, is it "within the default settings" of the benchmark?...

**mike** · 12-03-2009, 02:43 AM

Cool score.

Futuremark has actually not implented the browser in the benchmark - PCmark05 is only looking for Internet Explorer and starting it. The have seen this loophole and closed it in PCMark Vantage - which comes with it's own browser included.

**hipro5** · 12-03-2009, 02:51 AM

Ahhh.......I see........thanks...
So the only think someone has to do, is to uninstall the IE and install another browser right?......

Yeah and rename it iexplorer.exe. Same goes for media encoder. Find a better encoder, maybe a multi threaded one and let it do the crunching.

**massman** · 12-03-2009, 03:03 AM

Is it only possible to tune at the level of application or also at the level of the file?

**hipro5** · 12-03-2009, 03:18 AM

Please guys, speak ENGLISH.......It's only Greek to me....
Explain I mean with simple words......

**George_o/c** · 12-03-2009, 05:43 AM

Wow PCMark is such a lovely benchmark, maaaan I'd love knowing how to tweak it that much

Grats pro

Changing browser/decoder => tuning application used
Changing file to decode => tuning, ehr, file.

The first seems to be no problem, but I don't know about the second.

For browser test; changing the temporay html file wouldn't really do much. Disabling showing images in your browser settings helps a tiny bit - but something like that I feel that's a bit of an optimzation...

I had attempted to mess with the other temp files ( general usage , etc etc.) but never accomplished anything. Don't recall trying to mess with the encoding - but honestly doubt it. If I recall correctly they are actually encrypted. But been too long ago that I looked at those files.

I like your thinking!

**youngpro** · 12-03-2009, 04:46 PM

they are some sort of archive file, if you do a check with a hex editor you can see all sorts of contents, webpages, images, etc... i have no been able to uncompress them to examine the content properly...

browser test, yeah different browser definatly does help, and browser optimization also helps...

using a different video encoder and playing with the encoding settings definatly scales this one up aswell..

and for the hdd tests you need three arrays and dynamically switch between them during the benchmark, each hdd test wants different optimization, so you need to treat them all seperately... one array for all three will almost certainly leave you missing something...

Thanks for the kind words

When you throw a 5870 in there... my god... 34.5k easily... and then max out xp startup it will be

**Computurd** · 12-03-2009, 08:51 PM

with all of these 'optimizations' is that score even submittable on the hwbot? i kinda think this is going against the spirit of the benchmark. a benchmark is so that you can compare your system to other peoples, but if you alter the benchmark ITSELF, isnt that cheating?

**youngpro** · 12-03-2009, 09:35 PM

i disagree with that, tweaks and optimization is what makes the difference.. i think if your willing to put in the time and effort to understand a benchmark you shouldnt be penalized for that....

i mean if clocks was all we were after, we could use cpuz and gpuz validations, but that wouldnt be much fun at all
