xsuperbgx Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Why are my scores so low on this? There seems to be a big difference in scores, is there something else that effects the scores? There are people that are scoring almost 2x my score at the same clocks. I have tried w7 32 and 64. I tried downloading xtu profiles, but they don't make any difference. Memory speed doesn't seem to make that large of a difference. What am I missing? 4770k and M6G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der8auer Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 You have to install Service Pack 1 on windows 7. That should fix the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richba5tard Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Also, memory seems to have a big impact. I lost quite some points when I had to replace a dual channel set with a single stick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 That's what the Australian guys figured as well. They went up from 1370 to 1400+ points by tuning the memory. I like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der8auer Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I noticed something pretty strange yesterday. Boot into windows with 100 BCLK x 35 Multi 2000 Mhz Memory. Result was 360 Points. Increased clock with TurboV to 104 BCLK and reran the benchmark. Still 360 points. Closed benchmark, ran again and again 360 points. Tested several times even after a restart the result was the same. Boot into windows with 104 x 35 straight pushed it to 372 points. Now raising the BCLK to 107 the system still runs stable but the score stays the same. Pretty weird.

Testing I've read so far has been similarly weird also. You aren't alone on this sort of behavior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew pro Posted June 28, 2013 Crew Share Posted June 28, 2013 it's an interesting bench Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knopflerbruce Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Maybe I'm not great at programming, but... to me this sounds as if the score is determined by the settings directly, that there is no real measurement done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

der8auer Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 I just spent some more time with XTU and I can always reproduce the same thing. Even by overclocking with the XTU software the score does not change. As soon as I set the same values directly in the BIOS and boot into windows the score is improving. XTU shows the correct clock but still doesnt affect the score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) I can test it in my lab, but I don't think I have that same behavior on my system. Even if I increase via CoreCenter or XTU, the score increases normally. But I'll test it out anyway. 372 points is extremely low even for stock. Haswell should do around 850pts stock with default turbo and high frequency memory. Seems like your installation is broken somehow.

richba5tard Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 der8auer, do you have similar behavior when benching prime95? Afaik XTU uses the same algorithm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like your installation is broken somehow. was testing with a i3 ivy bridge dual core for the dual core ranking. So points are actually fine looking at the other scores. I had about 1000 points with a 4770k at 4,3 GHz so performance should be fine. der8auer, do you have similar behavior when benching prime95? Afaik XTU uses the same algorithm. I will check that.

xxbassplayerxx Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Has there been any further testing on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireKillerGR Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 My question is, what if you boot 6Ghz open xtu, downclock to a benchable freq and then run xtu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 No further testing on my end. I'll see if I can do it this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Threedhero Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Only getting around 750 points here on haswell stock but im using a 4GB kit at 1400mhz. i hear ram plays a big part so guess 8GB kit is the way to go. Ill try fresh OS first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoF Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 lol all that sounds pretty much like 3DM99/00 - not sure if Intel or just retro... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew Strunkenbold Posted July 25, 2013 Crew Share Posted July 25, 2013 I can only confirm here, was going from 101MHz to 105MHz. Score didnt improve by a single point. Changing multi's works though and has a score impact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Has anyone tried the following: - boot with 105bclk - wait before loading the OS - use something like the Asus OC Panel to increase frequency to 107bclk - check performance Compare performance to - 105bclk boot - 107bclk boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SF3D Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 The XTU competition is over soon, so I will release my tweak for this benchmark. My frequencies are real, so 5800MHz is worth of 1537 points for real. 6GHz is near 1600 points So, stay tuned folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreYang Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 1. Open XTU on low clock 2. OC panel or software change ratio to high clock and start XTU, then change ratio to low. The score must be high ratio score. It's called " one sec" XTU benchmark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
