Low aquamark CPU scores :(

I have a 3200+ newcastle(stock) and neo platinum. my aquamark cpu score seems low at 7019. is this abnormal and if so, any ideas on what could be causing it? btw, my 3dmark01 score is 16,900...is that low too?

OK this is how it supose to be, just ran AM3 again after i gave my AGp some juice here is the new result:
http://arc.aquamark3.com/arc/arc_view.php?run=1152541865
AquaMark Score: 47921
AquaMark CPU Score: 9904
AquaMark GFX Score: 6321
Average FramesPS: 47.921
Average TrianglesPS: 14425 K
Im aiming to 50k, but need to break the wall first on my fsb coz neo freezes up on 216 x 11 fsb 1:1.
ill loosen the timings next time mayb i get better luck then.
Oh yeh is this the latest cpu driver( AMD Athlon™ 64 Processor Driver for Windows XP, Version (exe) 1.1.0.14 )?????/
Got it from AMD.com

Very low CPU scores

I made a go at this once before, but here we go again!!
My rig is scoring very low in the CPU benchmarking dept. My main concern is 3d Mark03 and aquamark. In 3d mark I'm scoring 250 for a CPU score, and my overall aquamark score is pretty bad too - 14288. I was scoring ~28k with my 28000+ setup and the same vid card. My Sandra scores seem okay, there all in line with the referance scores. I've been thinking maybe the problem lies with my memory, since the mem and cpu are directly connected could a mem problem be disguised as a CPU issue. I've got c'n'c enabled, but I've tried it w/o it enabled-no difference. I've tried one stick, different slots, I'm at a loss. Thanks in advance.

I am convinced your AGP GART is your problem. If all else fails, do a fresh install of Windows and load the 4N1 4.51 before your ATI drivers. If 3dMark03 is having trouble with CPU, chances are your games are suffering too, you may not know how great your setup really is yet.
Yeah, So I've found the problem, but how to fix it?? Funnny thing is I know I've checked it before and it was @ 8x, but I've also had to change it bacj to 8x from off before. I polly took it for granted that it changed to 8x. My bios is 1.2. I'm glad to hear from you and flam3h that your OCZ is working fine, I have always liked OCZ and really didn't want to give it up.

Very Low 3DMark Vantage Score for CPU w/ W520

Hi, all. I'm wondering if my fellow W series owners with i7s are getting similar scores as I in the free version of the benchmarking program 3DMark Vantage. Please note that results are online-only with the free version, so make sure you've got an internet connection.
My Results
Normally I don't care too much for benchmarks, but I became concerned when my score was much lower than others that I'd seen after running a Google search. I have an i7 2720QM and am getting around 5200-5300 for the CPU score. I looked at several results from similar builds, and the CPU scores for the same proc are in the 19,000-20,000 range for CPU score. It thinks my processor clock is at 797MHz, for some bizarre reason.
Just to be sure it wasn't my power settings, I ran it again on the Maximum Performance power profile, but received the same craptastic score. All of these scores are with the laptop plugged in. I have the latest graphics drivers from Nvidia (downloaded today) and the 1.30 BIOS with ver. 3.62 of the Power Manager. TurboBoost is up and running, and my system routinely hits over 3.1GHz. I'm stumped. Would anybody mind posting their results?

Portege M400 - How to get a higher Windows 7 CPU score?

The CPU model is T5600 which cannot be so weak. I'm so puzzled and I try several times, the score is 2.9 even lower.
Can somebody tell me what can I do to get a higher score?
By the way, I also did the PCmark05 tests and the CPU score was only 1999. I will be run out.
Thank you for your help!

Hi
To be honest you should forget the Windows score and all benchmark tests.
Or why is it so important for you? Do you have a problem with your notebook?
I can give you an example: A friend of me has a Qosmio X300. A very expensive and fast notebook with Core 2 Extreme CPU, 4GB and SLI graphic system. He is using Vista x64 and he only get in the Windows experience index 4.9 points.
Furthermore Im not interested in benchmark tests because I dont need it if Im satisfied with my notebook.
Anyway, make sure that all Windows updates are installed and try it again. But its really not important this score.
Bye

Poor cpu score on 3dmark2003

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=3548602 I've ran 3dmark a few times and keep getting a low cpu score. All the settings in the bios that have to do with the cpu are set at default settings. I also noticed that 3dmark shows 0x on the agp rate. I did post on the 3dmark2003 (Futuremark) forum and was told that the chipset drivers were'nt properly installed. I did install the chipset drivers but is there a certain way or time that they should be installed? I did install from the supplied disc that came with my MSI board.

I compared your CPU score to mine, and it was about the same. A tad bit faster. I got 529 CPUMarks, you got 532. I think the clock difference should give a bit more performance. But not far from there.
You could check if CNQ is disabled. Cool N' Quiet is a nice feature but should be disabled when running benchmarks, or you'll underperform. Also, you should close any applications running in the background as they may take some of your processing time.
I usually run my benchmarks right when I finish a clean install. That is, after applying drivers and important updates. Windows will get crappier after using it for a couple of months, and scores may degrade untill you format again.
As for AGP Rates being detected as 0x. Futuremark has not always been capable of detecting the right hardware. I have my AGP rate stated as 0x. Also, my video card clock speeds are not detected.
PS: I won't post my full scores untill I have something worthy to show. As right now this video card is holding me back at 1113 3DMarks.

hello,
I tried 1024x768 and it gave me a score of only 250 fps (Normal, texture color set to default).
I read somewhere in the net (also pls see http://www.anandtech.com/www.tomshardwareguide.com) of Intel 845G motherboard and MSI's 845G max getting a 283+ fps at 1024x768 Normal and 300+ fps at 640x480 Normal with the ff. spec:
Intel Northwood 2.4B 133x4 FSB (mine is 2.48 @ 155x4)
256MB DDR333 (mine is DDR412)
Geforce4 ti 4600 128mb (mine is GF4 ti 4200 @310/600 64mb)
Also note these scores at 640x480 Normal
GF4 ti4200 64mb @ 275/550 = 288fps
GF4 ti4200 64mb @ 320/600 = 288.5 fps
Video card speed hardly make any difference in my Quake3 score
I need good Quake3 fps... i play a lot of OpenGL games!
thanks

3D Mark 03 CPU scores are poor, espically Troll's Lair

3D Mark 03 CPU scores are poor, espically Troll's Lair...that is compared to my P4 3.0ghz set-up I just came off of.
The best score my P4 3.0ghz did non-OCed was 780, in fact it was almost always right in there.
The best I have done with my Athlon 64 so far is 729 .
I am running it stock at the moment.
system specs:
2x 512 Corsair Value Select (same ram that was in my P4 rig)
MSI K8N Neo2 Plat.
Athlon 3200+ /Zalman HS/F
Geforce 6800GT
Drivers:
Nforce 5.1 , 6800GT drives are 6722s
Fastwrites are off and my overall 3D mark shows the 6800GT working quite well , with a score of 11165 stock.
Why might my CPU scores be suffering here?

Aha. Sounds about right.
I wouldn't expect much more than 2.4-2.5 on the current A64s. Most people with WCing or air cooling max at this speed, myself included.
Your score of 12k isn't bad at all with a close to stock system and a 6800GT. Thats pretty much what you should expect. Troll's Lair only makes it to about 3 or 4 fps max on the cpu test for me too (but I don't have a link for ya to show the score).
How's your 3DMark05 score? I'd expect somewhere around 5k for that setup. I can't be sure, but I don't think anything is really amiss in this case.

Bad CPU Score On 3Dmark03

Having been running this system for 2 weeks now with stock numbers (except the Vid card) and has been somewhat stable besides a few internet explorer hang-ups. I decided to run 3dmark03 to get a base number before attempting some O/C pains. The machine had a score of 1856 , which was close to another of the same hardware(1770) . The huge difference was in the CPu score , I only managed a 192 with mine , while the other machine was a 594 ! Is there anything i should check or that i may be overlooking in order to bring this CPU up to par . BTW ,in the 3dmark details, it listed the HTT as being N/A .Another thing.....in CPu-z , is it normal for the L1 to be displayed as : L1 data 64kb
L1 Code 64kb
I hope they are adding both these #'s up to get the 128kb L1 cache for the venice core......
grrrrrrr.....the pains of a newb comp. builder.......

Hi,
I have the feeling that several scores are about to be mixed up here ...
1. I would say that your score (1856) is the same, or even a bit better than that for a comparable setup (1770) - so I am not sure that there is a problem. I do not know what the relevance is of the CPU score and if numbers of 192 vs. 594 really mean that there is a REAL difference - I think I would try other benchmarks first, preferrably some which will tell you more about the performance of the CPU/system (like CPUMark, Sandra, etc.)
2. I would expect figures "in the 4500 range" with better video cards. I have the feeling that the videocard is holding you back - maybe it is time to start saving for a better one
3. In addition: if you are not into very serious o/c-ing, and unless you had serious problems with the stock BIOS, it is a mystery to me why you switched to a modded BIOS. It is probably not important but it could make it more difficult to compare performances ...
regards,
Hans

Low power CPU (Intel Atom) to control RAID1 array (mdadm) [solved]

Can anyone comment on the CPU overhead associated with using a low power CPU such as an Intel Atom to function as a NAS running software raid1 (mdadm)? Will it limit I/O?
Last edited by graysky (2013-10-02 07:32:08)

Logic says raid0/raid1 should not be much of a problem since you are splitting/dupplicating data without doing any or almost any math, raid5 or others that need to calculate parity information can be a problem with atom cpus I believe.
Maybe you should check review sites for NAS boxes reviews, most come with atom cpus inside and will probably give you a good idea of how your specific cpu model will perform.

Low 3DMark 2003 Score

Hi all.
I've had my system now for a few weeks and finally got around to seeing what the 3DMark 2003 score is.... now on Tomshardware, similary systems get scores of around 6000. My latest score was 3006, which seems way too slow.
Here is the 3DMark 2003 Breakdown:
GT1 - 119.5fps
GT2 - 14.4fps
GT3 - 13.8fps
GT4 - 24.6fps
CPU Score - 684
CPU Test 1 - 79.5fps
CPU Test 2 - 11.6fps
My system is as follows:
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ (200Mhz FSB)
MSI Neo K8T800 with latest BIOS (using Via 4.51 drivers)
Hercules Radeon 9800Pro 128Mb (using Catalyst 3.10 Drivers)
DX9.0b
Windows XP Pro (32Bit) SP1
2 x Corsair 512Mb 3200 DDR CAS 2.5N (single channel)
No additional Cards (I used onboard LAN, Soundcard, etc).
I'm thinking that I haven't set something right up in the BIOS, but I can't think for the life of me what it would be. I've used the MSI Update tool to get the latest drivers for everything (as of 13th January 2004).
Any ideas?
Many Thanks
Steven

Thanks - when I get back home tonight (at work at the moment). I'll post my BIOS and CPU-Z settings.
The only problem I had during the installation of Windows was the order of installing the drivers - I would get video card problems if I installed VIA Chipset drivers THEN ATI Catalyst (ie Black screen), but no problems if I installed the ATI Catalyst THEN VIA Chipset.
I've also found I get major problems if I have Fast Writes Installed.
The AGP Aperature is set to 64Mb.
Power Supply is 400 Watt
I'm very impressed with the fast responses in this forum, btw! Thanks

6800 GT AGP aquamark 3 scores 1024x768 4xAF VERY HIGH

Do you find a 8000 graphics score low with 6800 gt AGP?

It depends on the Drivers, CPU, RAM ,PSU, Motherboard and general settings of the computer. A lot of factors will come into play as to why the score is so low. It should at least be over 10k, unless it's running in a 3 year old XP or P4 rig, then 8k would be OK.... For what it's worth, I can squeeze 10.5k out of my 6800nu, but that is OCing it to hell and back. The link to my score is in my sig.

Low Everest mem scores

Ok here is my situation, in everest i think im getting very low scores 5313 in the mem read when the nforce 3 with same cpu has over 6000 my write speed is only at 1900 points while the neo2 is 2600. My latency is 48.1 while the 45.6 that isnt that big but the read/write is pretty big. My ram timings are only 2 3 2 6 1t but the test neo2 is 2 2 2 5. Will those timings make it that big of a difference? both running dual ddr 3200 any opions

Quote from: ChakkaSol on 06-August-05, 04:23:52
Ok this is what I got (certainly unscientific). I dont know if this is really what you were looking for but I was curious myself.
pc3200 - ddr400 - 200fsb - mem timings 2,2,2,6 1T = 48ns, 2250 write, 5500 read
pc3200 - ddr400 - 200fsb - mem timings 2,3,3,6 1T = 53ns, 2200 write, 5400 read
Thanks for the info my scores are that far away from the 2 2 2 6 1t but still dont know why its lower my timings are 2 3 2 6 1t does that one 3 make that much of a difference

Synchrony/Lowes Denial - What score do they use?

I recently purchased a home and was looking to do some remodel, FICO 8 scores are Eq: 669 Ex: 703, Tu: 676, I figured I had a good shot at a lowes card and could probably recon for a nice limit and get all my stuff. Well they denied me and they sent me a letter and my stated score was 437 WAY lower than what MyFICO gives. What score do they use? Any chance for a recon?

Lower the CPU frequency, permanently....how to do?

I just want to know, if its possible, how to lower the frequency of my Athlon64 3000+ permanently to like 1GHz or so, since its more then enough for my server. I'm not 100% sure, but I think all Cool n' Quiet does is lowering the clock, not mess with voltages and stuff, and apparently that is enough to save like 10W or so powerconsumption. Would be nice
Thanks in advance

I have to scale down permanently my laptops cpu max_freq because the speedstepping modules are overclocking my cpu.
cactus wrote:cat something like /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies to get the avail frequencies, and set it with echo statements to /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_setspeed (or whatever) in rc.sysinit.
As cactus said, with
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
you get the available freqs of your CPU.
for example:
1600000 1400000 1200000 800000 600000
One of this values is stored in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
I have this line in /etc/rc.local to set the max_freq on boot.
echo 1400000 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
P.S.
I don't know if the pathes are exactly the same on all systems. If the files don't exist on you system check if the Speedstepping kernel modules for your CPU are loaded....

How to lower the CPU usage level?

My CPU usage level has always been over 90% even after i restart my mac book pro, what should i do?

u09mi7
You can launch activity monitor to see what processes are using what amount of CPU. Also there is an application called AppTamer it is a sharware program and has gotten good reviews. It helps to reduce CPU usage on programs that are kind of in the background, one's you're not using at the moment. I would also recommend iStats Menu which monitors are the vital systems, memory, cpu, temps, disk activity etc...if you don't want to pay for the license the dashboard widget iStats Pro is free of charge and does the same thing. Do you have a lot of apps starting as login items? Hope this helps. Follow up and let us know how things are working.
