new HD x264 video encoding benchmark

graysky · Mar 15, 2008

Techarp is hosting a new HD x264 benchmark. Have a look and run it on your system to help populate the data table.

Basically, you run the test encode and it will report back frames-per-second values for your machine @ it's clock/overclock level. You can run it at your stock settings and at your overclock settings to see how your machine compares to others in the database.

My goal is to have a representative set of data for many different chips and chipsets. Please just report your results here in this thread. I will keep the data at that url to keep things simple.

Thanks all.

This image will be updated automatically as new data comes in. It doesn't display any results, but it does show the number of data points collected so far and how they break down by CPU type:

graysky · Mar 18, 2008

Thanks for the infusion of data points guys!

@Gaurav Duggal - what o/s and is it 32 or 64-bit?
@byronm - what are your mem timings and final mem core speed?

byronm · Mar 18, 2008

My mem timings are off since the 790fx doesn't really like my memory yet. (getting better with each bios update)

Runs an odd 5,7,7,24 @ 2.1 volts.. still working with gigabyte support to see why its running it that safe

graysky · Mar 18, 2008

That's crazy... what is the final memory speed? CPUZ can show you.

Got a bit better with a better memory timing. May try a run with an OC fsb.. unfortunately i got a locked multiplier phenom so i can't try changing that

Not to go off topic, but would any of you Quad Extreme guys clock down to 2.3ghz and see how you compare to the Phenom in this bench?

Idontcare · Mar 20, 2008

I will happily do that right now with my QX6700...but what FSB would you like?

Well what's your ram at? Probably be good with a 7x328 or something along those lines.

Idontcare · Mar 20, 2008

Well I decided to do it at two different FSB speeds (one low and one high) with identical ram speed and timing for both (DDR2-767 @5/5/5/13).

Here is 10x230:

I run Vista Ultimate 64bit. I changed some settings cause I couldn't get it 100% stable at those settings got it really stable at 8x500 and the ram was swapped to a 2gb kit of Crucial Ballistix running 900mhz 4-4-4-12 and these are the results I just got. Also, Idontcare, you use 667mhz ram? Did you try running at 667mhz with tighter timings? or going up to 800mhz with 5-5-5-15?
