Geekbench score - Why so low?

Hello,
I have a Mac Pro 3,1 running at 3.0 ghz which isn't that much slower than the 3.2 2008 model. Why is my geekbench score so much lower than most of the 3.0 mac pros and 3.2 mac pros? Here are my specs:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro3,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 3 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 8
L2 Cache (per processor): 12 MB
Memory: 2 GB
Bus Speed: 1,6 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP31.006C.B05
SMC Version (system): 1.25f4
I am also using the 64 bit version of Snow Leopard, and 32 bit kernel. In addition, I have a 4870 Radeon card.

Ok, another question.. Its amazing u don't have a intel mac but yet u know so much
I want to run Paralells or VM Fusion. How much memory is enough, or where do I want to be? Last nite, for instance, i was getting spinning beach balls while both emulators were loading. Remember, my 2008 mac pro which is the 3.0 model(not clovertown!!!!!!) has 2GB of memory.
Also, by seeing the benchmarks, the 3.2 version of the 2008 mac pro doesn't seem all that much faster than mine, except in cases with memory.

  • Low geekbench score

    Does anyone know why geekbench score is so low?

    [Solved] A friend of my had the same problem on his iPhone 6 Plus 64gb IOS 8.1.2. He had scores 35% lower than what geekbench 3 said they should be.
    Then he uninstalled IAPCrazy and the scores became even higher then what geekbench expected
    Problem solved.

  • Upgraded Memory, much lower Geekbench Score

    Yesterday I upgraded my memory from the factory-installed 4GB to 6GB by replacing one of the original 2GB sticks with a G.Skill 4GB stick. Having the extra memory is great, but my Geekbench score went down from 5401 to 5180. Specifically, my Memory score went down 498 points and my Stream went down 818 points.
    Is this drop due to the fact that I now have two unmatched sticks? Or is there something specific to the G.Skill memory that caused the drop?
    You can see the detailed scores on my Geekbench profile (http://browse.geekbench.ca/user/football751/profile).
    And yes, teh new memory I bought is DDR3 1066, P/N: F3-8500CL7S-4GBSQ.

    Probably dropped because you are using unmatched RAM. Matching RAM increases memory speed several percent because the hardware can take advantage of the dual channel architecture.

  • 3DMark03 scores on the low side?

    hello everyone,
    I just replaced my problematic 6800le with a 6800. The card runs fine and games are faster etc. I checked with RivaTuner and its actually 12x1pp, 6vp which means 1 more vp than it's supposed to be. Anyway, with stock clock speed settings (325/700) and without unlocking anything with RT I proceeded to run 3DMark03 (unregistered version) with the default values. The score I got was 7,025 or something like that... I checked online what others with similar specs got and I was stunned to find out that I had the second lowest score reported!!
    I'm running the 66.93 drivers for the card and the 5.03 for the mobo. Is there something I'm doing wrong? why so low?
    I o/clocked the card with the msi tabs to 350mhz for 2d/3d and 750mhz for memory and got up to 9750 or something like it, which is still pretty low compared to some 11,000 and 12,000 scores I saw online... (keep in mind I'm running my pc at stock speeds)
    Do these scores seem normal?
    Truth is I've overloaded my pc with various heavy software but how should this affect 3dmark scores... I'll be running later this evening 3dmark05 but I ain't keeping my hopes up...
    btw in Game4 (nature scene) at points I see fps as low as 13 or 16 does everyone get so low fps in that part? it makes my card look helpless... and this software was designed back in 2002? hell...

    66.70 and 66.72 drivwrs on average the quickest
    66.93 futuremark aproved but slightly slower
    fast writes will make a small diference if enabled but some games prefer them off farcry etc. to remain stable ( enable is faster )
    same with side band adressing ( setings to be found in bios )
    if you cant see it try this key combo while in bios to open hidden features  shift+f2 then alt+f3 and search your bios fr extra settings that appear, side band addressing being one of them.
    look for ati/nvid speed up also ... set higher gcard clock rates from start up..
    in gcard settings under advanced. slide slider for performance not quality ..
    diferent gcard bioses will help sometimes but your taking a cance w/ that as always .. i tried 5 different and had no probs up to you but i guess if your modding the pipeline etc on your card a bios modd wont be much problem ...
    Quote
    do you think if I unlock the remaining pipelines scores will rise? will I still be able to o/c a bit? which is better? 4 more pipes or o/cing to say 375/800 or higher when needed?
     dont know

  • Geekbench score should be higher (new Mac vs older Mac)

    Hello, I have a Mac Pro 2006 1,1 model that has been upgraded to an 8-core x5355 cpu, a 280x gpu, an ssd drive, etc. its geekbench score went from about 4,800 to about 9,500 (after these additions). After that, i ran a geekbench test on another, newer Mac, and the score was at about 10,500, but it performed VASTLY superior to the older Mac. For example, when using Open Broadcast to stream a video game running on the mac to Twitch.tv, the cpu usage would be at around 50 percent (so all 8 cores would show about 50 percent usage each(, and if i tried to view my broadcast simultaneously on google chrome, it would just to about 80 percent usage. On the newer Mac, I ran the same test, and it was only at about 5-10 percent usage for each of the 8 cores when simply streaming, and about 10-20 usage when streaming AND viewing the stream on google chrome. I even added more window captures to the feed, and it wouldnt tax the CPU. The GPUs were the same in the comparisons. So does that mean that geekbench isn't really testing CPU performance, or something?

    The next upgrade for your 1,1:
    Lycom DT-120 M.2 PCIe to PCIe 3.0 x4 Adapter (Support M.2 PCIe 2280, 2260, 2242)
    Samsung XP941 256GB PCIe 2.0 x4 M.2 SSD MZHPU256HCGL at Amazon
    XP941 bootable in the '09 MacPro - Bootable NGFF PCIE SSD - Page 9
    * XP941 are bootable in all Mac Pro models and are of the same design as the blade SSD used in nMPs

  • Mac Mini GeekBench score for 2.26, 4GB and 320 HD

    I just got my new Mac mini.
    People have been asking about "is it worth it to get the upgrades", I won't comment on that as its really a personal perspective thing, but here is the score for my machine (all factory upgrades).
    Proc Int Perf: 2483
    Proc Float Perf: 4331
    Memory Perf: 2448
    Memory Bandw: 1840
    Geekbench score : 3058
    My decision was based on wanting a replacement for my Dual G5 1.8, 3GB Power Mac. This new mac mini is very fast (in my opinion) even with the "slow" 5400 RPM disk. The idea is that I'm waiting for Leopard to come out to replace the Power Mac fully, this Mac Mini will then replace my AppleTV for Media Center using Plex. I wanted as much flexibility so I went 2.26 and 4GB memory. I also think this thing is an incredible piece of art, I couldn't bring myself to crack the case

  • Does anyone know the geekbench score of the 2011 2.0GHz Macbook Pro?

    Does anyone know the geekbench score of the 2011 2.0GHz Macbook Pro?  I have heard different numbers and it all seems way exaggerated.  I believe it is between 8800+...  Help.

    I found this online, but I was wondering if this is a real list of actual scores, or if someone made these up...  I will have the:
    MacBook Pro 15" 2.0GHz, 8GB Ram, 750GB (7200rpm) HDD... Not sure if this info is helpful at all?

  • Really low PowerMac G5 Quad Geekbench score, what gives?

    My lovely Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5 GHz has done me proud over the last few years and I wanted to see how it was comparing to all these new intel macs using Geekbench.
    I was surprised to see that I scored an insulting 1663 while, I think, everyone else was in the 3000's or more. What's going wrong? I have 7gb RAM and quit as many apps as possible, can I do any more?
    Here's my link: http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/64558
    Does anyone have an tips for me? is my mac just too old? help me increase it's score.
    I have also just created a new, blank user (all apps quitted and nothing running in background) and tried it again on that to no avail, here's my result: http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/view/64976
    You can also compare my results with the other Power Mac G5 Quad 2.5GHz's here: http://browse.geekbench.ca/geekbench2/performance/64976/4
    My results are all the bottom ones on the far right hand column, this is most disconcerting.
    It turns out that it's my lowest score yet, what do think the problem could be?
    I have the processor prefpane and it shows all four processors going through the motions when the tests are being done... Is this a major problem or something a fresh Leopard install could fix? I'm hoping not, but this may be the answer.
    Might I have not been using my mac to it's full potential?
    I need help please.

    This could all be related to the bit rating , which relates to how and how much RAM is utilized...
    The system has 64 bit memory addressing, which allows support for up to 4 terabytes of system memory. Of course, we aren't able to go there yet.
    Memtest (and Rember) support 64 bit memory addressing.
    "Memtest executes in 64-bit mode on PPC G5, Intel Xeon-based Mac Pros, and the latest Macbook Pro Core 2 Dual systems running MacOS 10.4 or later, allowing virtually any amount of installed ram to be tested. On all other systems, memtest executes in 32-bit mode with a maximum testable limit of 2 GB."
    Your inability to test the entirety of the installed RAM may indicate a problem, or it may indicate some impatience.
    Or, it may just be a result of the fact that 64 bit implimentation results in an actual net loss of performance due to the architectural requirements of 64 bit memory addressing..... You might take a look at this article and check the section on "32 bit vs. 64 bit, and "Pros and Cons".
    But, I wander off point (possibly).....
    Generally accepted principles of testing RAM allow for the memory to be tested in loops, which tests various sizes of memory allocation. Testing all RAM, especially with over 2-4GB, will take some time. Allowing the test to run is important.
    The Memtest of 130MB has no meaning what so ever.....
    Note the instruction in Rember to choose "All" memory for best results.
    Again, did you pose the question regarding your test results to support at GeekBench? They may have some experience with these types of issues......
    Now that I've gone through this "disertation", it dawns on me, *Did you use the 32 bit or 64 bit version of Geekbench?*

  • Why does low resolution warning show when I used a high resolution camera

    Hi,
    I am just learning about iphoto, and have been uploading photos I took with a 4 mega-pixel camera. I have printed out photos at Kodak printers directly from the camera, and they came out great. However, when I upload the photos to the Mac, then burn them to a CD, and try to print them they come out blurry and have the low resolution warning. Does anyone know why that is happening? Is there a setting that decides the photo quality when pictures are uploaded?
    Are the photos I have now "doomed" to be at low resolution?
    Thanks

    The "share" function actually places a mini-library on the CD so that it can be loaded into another Mac that has iPhoto. Just like in your library, the CD will contain, for each photo, the original "out of the camera" version AND the most recently modified version AND a thumbnail for viewing within iPhoto. Apparently the thumbnail was the one that was inadvertently selected for printing and, of course, the resolution is minimal.
    If you want to burn a CD for use on a PC or to give to your favorite photo-finisher, create a folder on the desktop and "File/Export" the contents of the album to that folder. Then, EXIT iPhoto and burn the CD with the contents of the desktop folder. After checking the CD and confirming that all is OK, you can trash that folder.

  • Why is LOWER function producing a cartesian merge join, when UPPER doesn't?

    Hi there,
    I have an odd scenario that I would like to understand correctly...
    We have a query that is taking a long time to run on one of our databases, further investigation of the explain plan showed that the query was in fact producing a Cartesian merge join even though there is clearly join criteria specified. I know that the optimiser can and will do this if it is a more efficient way of producing the results, however in this scenario it is producing the Cartesian merge on two unrelated tables and seemingly ignoring the Join condition...

    83299I am still struggling to understand why this would have worked as to my knowledge the LOWER & UPPER functions are similar enough in function and regardless of that why would one version cause the optimiser to effectively ignore a join condition.
    If anyone can shed any light on this for me it would be very much appreciated.

    40 rows selected.As you state something has obviously changed, but nothing obvious has been changed.
    We gather statistics via...
    exec dbms_stats.gather_schema_stats(ownname => 'USERNAME', estimate_percent => DBMS_STATS.AUTO_SAMPLE_SIZE , degree => 4, granularity => ''ALL'', cascade => TRUE);
    We run a script nightly which works out which indexes require a rebuild and rebuild those only it doesn;t just rebuild all indexes.
    It would be nice to be able to use the 10g statistics history, but on this instance we aren't yet at that version, hopefully we will be there soon though.
    Hope this helps,

  • Why a low memory error when the iPhone 4 still has plenty of storage?

    In diagnostics I had a low memory error. This is just a little of some of what I think is called a snap shot?
    LArgest process: meddiaserverd
    EscrowSecurityAI<298081b.......
    MobileMail<f262d66a......
    FaceTime<5796d685.......
    also camera, identity services, CVMServer...and many more but I am confused most with the line that said itunesstored.  I can provide more info if necessary. There's 8.4 available on the phones internal storage so I'm concerned about this error. I appreciate any info at all. Thanks

    I will need to read up on this before I have more discussions. I better make this short if you don't mind one more inquiry. I work almost soley from my phone. I have a store on the Internet. My husband however uses his phone very little but his is the one saying low memory and some areas he has way more data and we can't figure it out. I have 4000 and more emails he has 300 but he has over 300mb more in use. Same with home screen, security, messaging service. His google browser also three times more data than mine and I'm sure my phone has became a part of my hand cause I am always working and I never had low memory and I would think I'd have way more data. He has 7 apps I have 47. Any ideas why. Could someone have hacked his phone

  • Windows Experience Score - Primary Disk Low...

    Hey Gang,
    My i7 rig runs just grand for editing, no complaints. I peeked at the WE score and I got 7.3 or better in all categories except Primary Hard Drive (screenshot attached). I'm not looking to fix it (it ain't broke!) but I'm curious why Windows hates my hard drive. My guess is because I'm not running RAID for my OS disk. I'm running a 300GB Raptor, and all I have installed is Win 7 64bit, Production Premium CS4 and some plugins, and NeoScene. MS Office does NOT reside on this PC! It's got 219GB of 279GB free, so it's fairly lean, and I defrag regularly with O&O Defrag. Anyway, my guess is that 5.9 is tops for a single disk... am I pretty much on about that?
    Paulie
    (for the curious, I do run assets off of another disk, project files on another, and a third for scratch disks and miscellaneous junk... everything is 7200RPM Caviar Black except for the junk drive, I went cheap with a 7200 WD Blue. If it dies, no problem. Anyway, I have no RAID subsystems yet, but that wouldn't affect Primary HD score anyhow)

    Shrinking and moving that page file is the task for tonight! Thanks for noticing my hard drive space and saying something, that default Hiberfil file would have sat there unnoticed... Microsoft defaults are aggravating at times. And I've been wondering about the best way to configure the swap file when you have 12GB of ram, but just haven't had time to pursue it. If 8GB on a separate drive works for you, that works for me!
    Thanks.
    Paulie
    PS: Hey, I'm still running my i7 920 stock (and my 1600mhz ram too, which defaults at 1066)... I suppose if I OC things up a bit it'll be even sweeter...

  • Loan payoff drops score why? See details..

    I had a high debt ratio which gave me a low score, about 640. Paid down a couple small credit cards but not to zero. Got it up a little, to 676. Still a high ratio though, with a couple other high cards maxed out. Owed couple brand on car loan, paid it in full, thinking this will really help get me over 700. I received a FICO alert on it stating my score changed she to a change in the car loan account status. Change retorted was zero balance, paid as agreed, paid in full, and my score was dropped 47 points for that. FORTY-SEVEN, for paying off a car loan when I have too much debt to begin with. I filed an immediate dispute, to simply have the score fixed immediately. Absolutely unacceptable. Does this credit world have ANY common sense? So ridiculous. Could it be temporary?

  • 15" MBPr (2012) getting Geekbench Score of 6500, Should be 10,000.  HELP!?

    Hi,
    I always felt that my MBPr was under performing, and after about 10 months of it, I got fed up and started running benchmark tests... GB2 put this machine at <7,000 while other machines with the exact same spects are getting 11,000+.  Could somebody please point in the right direction to get this corrected?  I'm ready to run any tests or programs you guys recommond.  Please help, as I have only 1 month left of warranty, and if this machine really is faulty, I'd like to get it fixed by then.
    Thanks.

    Here's the link to my model of MBPr.  The low scores are my uploads... it's quite disheartening.
