36 Benchmarks, results from 140985 to 160041

[Sverre]

Never done this test before. Left it on Infinite and watched some movies. After coming back I went over the results and found quite large differences (se log under). I can understand some differences, but a difference of almost 20000 seems large. And the 3 first tests are also the 3 highest, almost 7000 higher than number 4, what happened here?

Nothing happened here...move along folks 😉

Normal variation for benchmark runs....especially since your PC will have been doing varied tasks in the background...

The initial higher scores are just normal benchmarking...optimum runs after a fresh start...optimum run after second or third run

Other possibilities...temperature saturation of cooling...and aliens 😄

Ok, just thought the difference was a bit high. Did a test over night and got 160319 on the first run, does this mean that there's no point in running it 2-3 times in a row?

Plenty of aliens up here in Norway! 😉

Why alchemist? Doesn't sound like it has anything to do with overclocking, or computers in general?

Can't log on to RealBench, isn't my account there the same as here?

Actually I think second run is still better...see tips and tweaks thread https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?35793-ROG-Benchmarking-Tweaks-amp-Tips

Like Arne said, your system is doing stuff in the background. That chart of yours just shows that the background activity of your system creates load spikes every now and then. All perfectly normal.

Regarding the logging in, ASUS changed the networking part on their end to SSL (a good thing really) so versions prior to the current beta can't authenticate users or upload.

It may be an optimization thing but second run is always the best for me! It was on all systems tried... (then I never run it more than 3 times without restarting...)

One word, caching 🙂

- good to know! :cool:

Now just one question: Is it enough to run the first test (video editing - that is showing the most differences between first and second runs) or better to run all the benchmark for that caching to happen?

[Arne_Saknussemm]

[Nodens]

Running just the encoding yours cache benefits will be isolated to that test alone. For example the images used in the GIMP test will not be cached in RAM as they would be read for the first time..
