CrystalMark 2004 Competition! Stress your System!

[DrMrLordX]

Interestingly enough, this benchmark seems to be extremely sensitive to the number of pipelines you have active if you've got a 6800-series vid card. I locked the masked pipes and shader on my 6800NU and dropped about 3500 points on the OGL test.

 

[Godsmack74]

Thanks for the props guys. I agree to an extent with zebo these scores do not represent real world performance. In truth if the application issint optimized for dual proc's you wont see any benefit at all. IN fact you would be better off with an FX55 than a 4800+ in single proc coded appz.

Hey GD, it looks like our numbers match up based on our configs. You have a slightly faster system based on the OC. Interesting. The HDD makes a HUGE difference with those Raptors. Hmmm. beer;:beer::beer::beer::beer:

The graphics tests seem to be very CPU dependent. My scores with a 6600gt are not much less than yours with the 6800U? That backs up what Zebo's saying, in a realworld high res gaming environment your setup would PWN mine, no way the extra 50mhz o/c makes up for the difference of 6600gt to 6800U. And my HDD scores over double with the raptors vs my 7200rpm IDE, no way thats representative of realworld performance. It's been shown time after time that Raid0 raptors provide a relatively small performance increase nothing near 100%

It is kind of hard to view these results... MADMAX23 stated:

Only ALU, FPU & MEM Benchmark modules must be run

Well so far....

[Megatomic]

Maybe I'll make a serious attempt at a better score later tonight. I had browser windows open and stuff running in the tray when I did my test. Synthetic or not, I hate being in the bottom rung in any competition.

*decides to talk to wife about upgrades....*

bottom rung???........I'm in the dirt then with my 13k

Don't feel bad the competition is pretty rough! The X2 beast, badass P4 640 on phase, Marks duallie, and a few SD's thrown in for good measure. If I only had some vapors for my SD, maybe I could catch technonut:laugh:. I don't even want to think about what the X2 would do on phase change:shocked:

 

[MADMAX23]

Hi!
I will make a top 10 list for AMD and Intel users soon!
About performance: I meant this program is good at CPU and MEM performance testing. I tested if it could be accurate in the CPU and MEM benchmarks and it has already proven to be so, that's why I warned you only Cpu and MEM tests should be run.
Happy benchmarking!

 

[Chaotic42]

Is it multithreaded?

 

[MADMAX23]

Hi guys!
Could you please include in the following posts your Cpu model and it's actual speed and... also your Ram memory speed and timings with the command rate?
I need them to elaborate the Top 10.

 

[Markfw]

the 42124 score is dual Opteron 248's at 2.2, pc3200 2.5,3,3,7 1t, the 27000 score was athlon64 winchester at 2475, pc4000 @166 divider,275 bus, 1t.

 

[Megatomic]

My 21993 was produced on a 3400+ Clawhammer running at about 2.2GHz. The RAM is PC3200 running at 3-3-3-11 1T.

27073 a64 3200+ winnie runnin at 2.4ghz ram is pc 2100 at 2-4-4-8

Wow! What are your sytem specs, clockspeed, ramspeed, etc. Got any other screenies or benches?

It definately takes advantage of 2x CPU's look at the scores. Marks score with opterons at 2200mhz destroys my SD 3700+ at 2860mhz, that wouldn't be possible if it wasn't optimized for dual core

Just playing with the #,s My score with the SD3700+ 32635/2860mhz=11.41 points per mhz. Marks score with the opterons 42124/11.41=3692mhz. Assuming equal performance between opteron and san diego(I know, just humor me), and equal scaling of points to mhz, it would take a single core SD running 3.7ghz to beat the dually. And 3692/2200=1.68 which says the performance increase due to the second core is roughly 68%

And it also appears to be optimized for Hyper Threading. Based on my very unscientific math above it would take and AMD at 3.7ghz to beat the dually. So the conventional PR rating logic that says 3200+ 2.0 ghz = 3.2ghz P4 applied to this would indicate you would need a P4 running 5.9ghz to beat the dually(3.7/2*3.2=5.9). However if you look at the results you see Technonuts P4 @ 4.4ghz beats the dually by 1000 points. so the program definately rewards the HT(virtual cpus) technology

Us single core boys with no HT are out in cold on this one

 

[Markfw]

Yup. For all intents and purposes, my dual 2.2 is the same as a dual-core 2.2, and it must be multithreaded, as my own dual 2.2 destroys my own 2.5, all else essentiually equal.

 

[GuitarDaddy]

Playing with more #'s Marks score 42124/2200mhz = 19.14, Godsmacks X2 score 53033/19.14=2769mhz.? Either that X2 is overclocked very nicely and/or the dual core has a significant performance advantage over dual opterons? GS please let us know what the clockspeed is?

 

[rise]

28,983 , 3200 @ 2475
2.5-4-3-7 1t @275 ocz rev2 3200

 

[Godsmack74]

Good math GD, The X2 is overclocked from a deafult of 2.4 to 2.64ghz.

[Godsmack74]

Additionally the Dual Core does have a significant advantage gain due to the low latency in communication and lower memory latency. I wont even begin to mention the performance advantage over a dual P4 or dual xeon setup, lets simply say that the X2 wins in all scenarios.

Yup. Makes me sick... But I still have one ace up my sleeve.. PCI-X and SCSI raid0x5 10k drives!!! That the only thing my 5k got me at this point.
