Do you have HPET enabled or disabled?

I suppose I should have noted that I had to enable useplatformclock in order to run the HWBOT x265 benchmark, which I was including as a CPU performance benchmark. The crazy thing is that apparently system restore does not revert changes to 'useplatformclock' so while I was testing, everything...

Do you have HPET enabled or disabled?

I'm going to post a response, even though this thread is so old, because I have some hard numbers for you. Depending on the system, enabling the HPET can have drastic consequences on performance. I don't know why it only affects certain motherboards (BIOS programming most likely), but I have...

CIV: BE benchmarked

To be fair, this was not documented until after my look at performance had already gone live. We got pre-release access to the game on Tuesday (though I was unable to start benchmarking until Tuesday night due to other things I was working on). We even received a reviewer's guide with...

Potential New Anandtech Video Card Benchmarking Suite?

It's worth noting that this is precisely what I did with the GTX 680M P170EM article that apparently started this discussion, as I compared it with the HD 7970M. My intention all along was to merely provide a set of additional games in a one-off comparison. That's why there's some redundancy of...

Potential New Anandtech Video Card Benchmarking Suite?

I'll tell you right now that we're not bringing back Metro 2033 or Crysis Warhead for notebooks. Sorry. Dustin and I were both very much in agreement that while we liked both games, they're not worth continuing to test. Metro: First Light and Crysis 3, sure, but I'm not moving backwards before...

Potential New Anandtech Video Card Benchmarking Suite?

Since someone was kind enough to start this thread, let me share some other items with you that you may not have considered. 1) I test laptops/notebooks, not systems. While a GTX 660 might scream through the vast majority of our gaming tests at 1080p, a GTX 660 is also about as fast as the...

Brazos Testing Requests

Hi guys (and if there are any, gals), The MSI X370 and Sony VAIO YB review is posted, with the initial list of gaming performance results (on page six). http://www.anandtech.com/show/4218/amds-brazo-e350-msi-x370-sony-vaio-yb Not yet done: SunSpider (and maybe Rightware Browsermark), SSD...

Brazos Testing Requests

Did someone really just ask me to try and make a hacintosh out of an E-350? Wow... I'm highly skeptical it would work right now; maybe in a few months it will have all the drivers hacked in by the community. Anyway, you'd be looking at roughly 1/3 the performance of the 2010 MacBook (i.e. P8600...

Brazos Testing Requests

Just to update an old thread... well, not that old, but anyway. Here's the "final" list of games I'm planning to test with Brazos (C-50 and E-350), Nile, Danube, CULV, Arrandale, and SNB: Batman: Arkham Asylum Battlefield 2 Civilization IV Civilization V Company of Heroes Crysis: Warhead...

Just found out that Dustin already shipped the dm1z back, so no retesting will happen. Oh well. Sorry!

Brazos Testing Requests

LOL... no. My current work PC is a Gateway FX530 with a single HD 5670 GPU and 4GB RAM running Win7 64-bit. It has a couple 150GB Raptor drives in RAID 0 and a 1TB mass storage drive. It works, it has all my stuff on it, and I've just been too lazy to switch. Funny enough, my gaming rig is quite...

Brazos Testing Requests

I've asked Dustin to check results with HP Support Assistant enabled -- note that he did not reinstall Win7, but he probably did remove/disable HP Support (since it has a habit of popping up all too often in my experience, which can screw with battery testing and the like). As for HWMonitor, the...

Anand already covered this in the nettop Brazos review: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4134/3 The E-350 laptops should score the same as Anand's tests. As for C-50, I'll be looking at that in the not-too-distant future. I expect it will fail a lot more tests than the E-350, since it has much...

@azrah: So the HP dm1z review is done, I'm working on the MSI X370 (similar performance, larger chassis), and Vivek has an Acer AO522 (C-50). That last one will be a bit more interesting in terms of seeing what it can/can't do relative to Atom. He stopped by yesterday and I played with it...

Someone sent me an email asking for some benchmark results for StarCraft II with two recent replays: http://www.gosugamers.net/starcraft2/replays/43293 http://www.gosugamers.net/starcraft2/replays/43216 Both are the same map, and Protoss vs. Zerg, so results are similar. Here's what I've...
