Howzit guys has anyone here tried passmark to bench your system? For those of you who don't know it gives you a system score and test everything even your dvd rom. I just started using it today. You can get your system score then save it and share your system specs and score with everyone else by downloading their *.pt file.

So I've included a link to download passmark HERE
A link to download my baseline score to install onto your system to compare,over HERE
And finally a screenshot of the score summary below



You can check my sig below for my system specs. Except that the cpu was at 4.8 Ghz and the gpu at 1000/1250

K heres my results.... not sure how your gpu beats mine tho? had one gtx560 at 1000/2260.... and how we have the same dvd drive and hdd but mine score higher?

Ya dude I'm not sure either. The 560 is better than the 6870 in every other bench so that makes me wonder how accurate passmark is?

anyone else keen to share there results so we can compare???

Busy downloading now, will post some scores shortly...

Ok, here goes...(everything at default speeds)

ya k something is def wrong with my gtx560 scores.... a stock 460 beat my card????? somehow dont think this bench is up to date or something.... but awesome score pilgrim.... are u gona post an overclocked one?

Very interesting scores indeed. It can't be accurate

Only clocked the graphics card from 775/4000MHz to 850/4200MHz, the rest still at default. Wondering how sensitive this test is to processes running in the background

Sorry about the large pic...

Passmark might have a CPU limitation resulting in the lower or higher performances. I see these coincide with your cpu scores.

Not sure bro but cant be that sensitive...

So what u saying is that my cpu is bottlenecking my gpu perfromance? i scored higher than pilgrim in cpu score but his gpu still scored higher than mine.... i cant see an i7 950 being a bottleneck for 1 gtx560... or am i misinturpreting what u saying?
thnaks for the help jwilkens

I must actually try a test with a lower clock and see what I score because its saying I'm running the test at stock 3.4ghz. And says I have a multiplier of 34 etc. The cpu scores look correct to me but I'll have a look just for interests sake

Jelly and I were comparing speeds last nite using sis sandra. We have the exact same hdd but they scored differently. And we compared memory cache and discovered that my cpu has more bandwidth per second than his,but his cpu had a faster speed factor.

I get 452.2........at my work pc. Any good?

Is that your overall passmark score?

Yup.

Sorry I compared you scores to that of Slimshaedy.

I think it just not that a good graphics benchmark. It also does not have crossfire compatability.

Did a run on my system and the 3D score was 2500'ish.

@jwilkens. Ya I saw that it wasn't crossfire/sli comptible but still doesn't explain that bad scores. But as u said its not a good graphics benchmark...

@icepick awesome score man! Also can't wait To run it on my pentium 4!:D

Ya this bench clearly isn't accurate. After all these random scores...
@Icepick its not bad for a work pc haha. Now let's see it on your personal rig!

How did you know it was a P4???

Ja, I downloaded it yesterday at work and forgot to copy it and take it home.

Will make a plan and do a bench.

Your 5850 should beat my scores in the graphics test! And when youre finished post your .pt file for us to download:)

Cool will do.

I don't know dude! Lucky guess... But P4's are so common still in office inviroments and with a score like that... Had to be a P4! Ya dude keen to see ur 5850... I had one at 1ghz core 4840 mem and it was a beast I tell u! What ur clocks at dude?

Then it's not a lucky guess, but a educated one!

Mine is still stock clocks. Not really keen to clock it. My res is still 1680x1050, so no need.

hahahaha i suppose so dude... my res is the same as yours dude but i clock just for benchies.... ita super fun to see what u can get out of your hardware bro! will be upgrading my monitor sometime in the near future, but im inbetween jobs at the moment so its on hold... soon as i have stable income again, monitor is first on the list after several hours of research and forum hopping gona make sure i get a really good monitor!

so as slim said dude get your scores too this thread on ur home pc dude!:mrgreen:
