Benchmark your computer with Handbrake

[SlowSpyder]

Just wanted to say that I think I killed my FX 9370 while running this bench. But right up until my machine froze, never to boot again, I was getting 250FPS @ 5.1GHz.

RIP FX9370, I hardly knew ya! :'(

Just "wow". I feel deeply saddened for your loss.

Are you sure, however, it's the chip and not the power delivery of the board? Did you experience any smell at all? Tragic loss indeed, but hey, it was good while it lasted

Grab a i5-4670k next so you can get 320 fps and not kill it


Sorry for your loss, at least you beat it down into the dirt the best way possible, over achieving.

It is possible it is the motherboard, I'll check the codes tonight and see what I can find. But my hunch is the CPU.

Yea, but then I'd just be another guy with an overclocked i5/i7... that won't satisfy the fanboy in me.

If you killed the board I dont think you'd see codes.

Just to verify, you cleared CMOS right?

Well, this is a bit embarrassing. I tried a few things yesterday, last being I yanked the CMOS and pressed the power button to clear any residual power, then replaced it and tried to boot. No signal to the monitor still.

Well, I looked again just a little while ago, the DVI cable came out when I pulled the CMOS battery (my 7970 is in the 2nd PCIE slot because of how my water tubes are run, covering the CMOS battery). So when I replaced the 7970 and battery, the cable to my monitor moved and wasn't connected because I didn't tighten the screws.

So, she's back. Now the only question is, do I accept a lower clock speed? Or more voltage? :twisted:

 

[Magic Carpet]

It is decent perf per watt compared with fellow AMD watt burners, but not really competitive with Intel stuff. Haswell big quads are using 4-5 times more system power but encoding 6-7 times faster. So perf per watt is up to 50% higher on Intel stuff.

Haswell is more efficient in this particular task, no questions asked. However, If all you do is light browsing, casual video watching, etc. Jaguar platform is quite a bit more economical. For any content creation, it's seriously underpowered, though.

The way I always overclock is I set the voltage as high as I'm willing to go for that particular process and core, the keep ramping the speed up until it gets unstable.

Back it down a touch then test for stability. Finally, start turning down voltage and continue testing for stability.

I'm happy with the performance increase! The possibilities feel endless since I can offload so much work from the CPU!

*EDIT: I would also like to note that the source file and output file are on two separate hard drives, which may also help performance.

What are your thoughts on the quality difference between x264 and QuickSync? As I mentioned in a thread in the HTPC sub-forum, I've been messing with it a bit, because like you describe, it can be great for users with dedicated GPUs as it leaves our PCs completely usable.

What are your thoughts on the quality difference between x264 and QuickSync? As I mentioned in a thread in the HTPC sub-forum, I've been messing with it a bit, because like you describe, it can be great for users with dedicated GPUs as it leaves our PCs completely usable.

The quality loss is measurable, but it's not really going to be an issue in most cases. The picture quality is more than acceptable even for quality encodes. When I'm encoding, it's usually because I'm going for a much smaller file size that can be fit onto a mobile device or USB flash drive. You're not really going to see any major differences at that point. If I'm watching at home on my computer, I'm just going to be watching raw, uncompressed MKV rips from Blu-rays. QuickSync is a life saver for my use since it puts no strain on the CPU and it's bloody fast!

For comparison, I'd like to share how The Avengers looked straight from a Blu-ray rip (27.2 GB), and how it looks now after using QuickSync (5.05 GB). (sorry that they're slightly different frames!)

I've been experimenting with various uses of QuickSync for the last few hours and it's definitely something I'm going to be heavily utilizing. I've been able to get it to cooperate quite nicely with Open Broadcaster Software, so I'll be able to stream with virtually no additional CPU load. This will be great for World of Warcraft!

I still see a decent hit to performance when streaming, but that's only because my GPU is extremely bad. I have a Radeon HD 5450 in use because my 7970 died on an international flight. I'll be fitting my computer with a Radeon R9 290 within a week or two, which probably won't even notice the small load placed on the GPU for streaming. Honestly, I'd have just used the integrated HD 4600 instead of the 5450 if it was equipped a dual-link DVI port (I'm pushing 2560x1440). It's been fun to experiment with getting the 5450+HD 4600 to work together, though, and it's been a raging success. This integrated GPU is going to stay enabled for QuickSync after I get the R9 290 for sure.

Ah, I encode my rips to help keep the size down. I own a lot of movies, and trying to keep them all at full quality would be very difficult storage-wise... especially when I keep more around than just movies! So, my encoding tends to be for long-time storage. I like how I don't tie down my main machine for QuickSync, but I wouldn't want to waste time with garbage encodes. The problem is that in all the tests that I've done on QuickSync vs. x264, I can't really find a fault with QuickSync. I had a friend check out an episode that was encoded with each encoder, and he had no qualms with either.

For comparison, I'd like to share how The Avengers looked straight from a Blu-ray rip (27.2 GB), and how it looks now after using QuickSync (5.05 GB). (sorry that they're slightly different frames!)

I can't really find much of a fault with the QuickSync encode other than it's a bit blurrier, but that's understandable given it has a far lower bitrate. Oh, and if you want a good tip for how to capture stuff at the same frame, it's pretty easy with Media Player Classic - Home Cinema.

1. Find the scene you want and pause.
2. File > Save Image to save a screenshot. It will always be at the source's size!
3. Navigate > Go To... , and copy the current time listed.
4. Open the other video file.
5. Navigate > Go To... , paste the copied time, and hit OK.
6. File > Save Image

...and you've got the exact same frame with pretty much no effort!

I saw that OBS can use QuickSync, but I also saw that it has NVENC support. You talk a bit later on about using AMD cards, so I realize that doesn't really apply. However, I do wonder which one would work better. I assume if NVENC works similar to NVIDIA's ShadowPlay, it might be procedurally simpler if the majority of the work takes place on the video card. That's assuming it works by taking the frame (that goes out to the monitor), sending it to the encoder, and then the resulting encoded image going back to the CPU.

This integrated GPU is going to stay enabled for QuickSync after I get the R9 290 for sure.

I know what you mean... it might put an annoying cursor at the upper left of my main monitor at all times, but even my OCD self can ignore it for fast yet not too shabby encodes.

I skipped everything to this last page: Where do I see the result? The program runs like 1/10 of a second and disappear.

Got rid of the boring 4570 chip, this one is much better :whiste:

Is your CPU overclocked any? My i7-4770K at stock speed only gets 244.437164 using Handbrake 0.9.9.5530 - 64 bit version. I also have 8 Gb of RAM, but I'm running Windows 7.

I found this very interesting. I have been wanting better encode speeds in Handbrake. I have an old i7-920. Figuring since it's 4 generations old now it must be time for an upgrade. I ran the test to see how much faster encodes I could get. The results were very surprising.

I would have thought in 4 generations we should be a least double the encoding speeds. Granted, I am overclocked but I'm still around a Haswell i5-4570S performance. It's all just a bit disappointing.

Of course, it was oc'ed. ~240 is what you get running at stock speed, so worry not

Yeah, we haven't seen substantial performance advances since Conroe. Yet that 4570S provides some of the best performance per watt available today. I had this chip and was able to cool it passively without issues. I bet your OC'ed 920 needs quite a bit of more cooling
