New PCMark Vantage World Record - Thanks to All of You

[lowfat]

ok here is some news benchmarks with pcmark vantage
HDD Test Suite 57447

is that all you got.

wow. the ioextreme i take it?

Correct.

[SteveRo]

is that all you got.

76k - wow - if they ever figure out how to make this bootable it should clean up in vantage.

[Tiltevros]

ok lets see... if i do some tweaks im getting 2k extra hmmmmm lets tweak the lsi 9211 some more lowfat just try to catch that one without ur cache
WOW btw 9211 is bootable :P

The ioxtreme has no real cache. It uses some RAM, but AFAIK it is not used as "standard" cache.

How are you "tweaking" the 9211? There are like no options to tweak.

[Tiltevros]

playing around with 9211 bios and drivers gain ~ 3500 - 4000 points in Vantage so there is a way to tweak some staff

[Tiltevros]

lol this is really fun for me hahahaha just little bit more everytime ahhahaha i love playing around with 9211 !!!!!

if you adjust bus voltages and pcie bus and some other things in bios, and some things within your os, there are many things you can do to tweak even a fairly 'untweakable' controller. play around in your registry sometime with queue depth stuff when you are bored

you have much to learn, young grasshopper

[Tiltevros]

Over 61k with 9211 ....

PCIe bus speed has a rather nice affect on my ioXtreme. @ 110MHz I get a 100MB/s increase in sequential reads & 50MB/s on sequential writes. Although small file IOPS don't change. It won't detect the card @ anything over 112MHz though.

[Biker]

My 9211 is stable up to 118 PCi-e but I don't have a decent array to test out on it atm :/

Soon hopefully

[Computurd]

yes alot of it depends upon your controller. some controllers balk at high pcie and will shut them self off as some sort of protection. probably from overvoltage or somehting is my guess...but just a guess.
but some wont take pcie at ALL, like the 4320 from highpoint, if you raise it to 101 it s its pants. However, the 3520 from highpoint will rock up to 115 pcie.
the LSI 9211 takes high pcie rather well, the 9260 doesnt like to go over 108.
the areca 1680-ix is a horse and will take about anything you throw at it. the 1220 areca suxors though, almost as temperamental as the 4320
and i am no fan of going to crazy on the ich10r. brings about to much instability in 24/7 usage.

[Computurd]

@tilt---nice gains you have made, i see you are getting more familiar with that monster server motherboard of yours!! is this through pcie packet expansion? looks great! i will be home around 2:00 AM athens time tomorrow so hit me in MSN!

Congrats on the overall WR, SteveRo!

However, you guys could really do with some tweaking on the HDD scores, surely the overall would take a nice bump with scores like mine and my friends over at our Benchmark thread http://www.diskusjon.no/index.php?sh...c=1149834&st=0

2xGen. 1 X25-M Raid0 ICH9R HDD score 94085:
