hard reset, ensure all non-essential programs are closed, run this, and post your result

feel free to submit benchmarx of any other kind as well i guess lol

UserBenchmarks: Game 80%, Desk 77%, Work 51%
CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 - 79.2%
GPU: AMD R9 Fury - 83.8%
SSD: PNY CS1311 240GB - 94.8%
HDD: WD Blue 1TB (2012) - 76.9%
RAM: Unknown 3200 C16 Series 2x8GB - 104.2%
MBD: Gigabyte GA-Z170N-Gaming 5

For the life of me, I can't seem to figure out why my HDD is underperforming.

Any ideas?

lol when i first ran this benchmark almost exactly two years ago, the 970 was the standard to which all gpus were compared, which put my pc with its fury comfortably in the ufo range

once they made the 1070 the standard, my pc became just a battleship

[don't let's]

UserBenchmarks: Game 32%, Desk 60%, Work 38%
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K - 92%
GPU: AMD R7 260X - 26.2%
HDD: WD Blue 1TB (2012) - 64.3%
HDD: Seagate ST3200826AS 2TB - 107.2%
RAM: Crucial BLS4G3D18ADS3.16FE 2x4GB - 74.8%
MBD: Asus Z97-AR


That one drive is not a seagate though

i was installing battlefield 1 on origin the first time i ran mine like an idiot, anything like that possible? assuming probably not since you literally said shut off everything in your OP lol

[Kalahari Inkantation]

WD Blues aren't the fastest drives. Is it at least a 7200rpm HDD?

it is, but userbenchmark compares the performance of components within a single model, not to all other possible models/types of that component

so my wd blue is significantly underperforming compared to other wd blues, not compared to hdds in general

i can't think of any good reason why my particular wd blue would rank so poorly vs. other wd blues lol, i mean it's the very same device as all the others and my use of it is p. typical as far as i know

i was installing battlefield 1 on origin the first time i ran mine like an idiot, anything like that possible? assuming probably not since you literally said shut off everything in your OP lol

yeah i made certain that no non-essential programs were writing/reading, and i even ran the benchmark several times and the result is quite consistent lol

i'm not sure what could have changed because my much earlier benchmarks with this same drive show it significantly outperforming other wd blues:

UserBenchmarks: Game 78%, Desk 74%, Work 45%
CPU: Intel Core i5-6500 - 79.6%
GPU: AMD R9 Fury - 84%
SSD: PNY CS1311 240GB - 80%
HDD: WD Blue 1TB (2012) - 103.9%
RAM: G.SKILL Value DDR4 2400 C15 1x8GB - 48.2%
MBD: Gigabyte GA-Z170N-Gaming 5

So now it's gone from 103.9% down to 76.9%?

i'm completely at a loss lol

[Kalahari Inkantation]

benchmarks are never perfectly consistent, for example something like windows defender deciding to flare up in the midst of a cpu run could artificially deflate your score

but that's why it makes sense to run a benchmark several times and get an average lol

[ClassicTyler]

UserBenchmarks: Game 65%, Desk 64%, Work 54%
CPU: Intel Core i7-7700 - 83.9%
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060-6GB - 68.3%
SSD: Samsung MZVLW128HEGR-000L1 128GB - 102.3%
HDD: WD Blue 1TB (2012) - 103.3%
RAM: Samsung M378A1K43BB2-CRC 2x8GB - 76.8%
MBD: Lenovo 90H50000US

Overall this PC is performing as expected (52nd percentile). This means that out of 100 PCs with exactly the same components, 48 performed better. The overall PC percentile is the average of each of its individual components.

With a brilliant single core score, this CPU is the business: It demolishes everyday tasks such as web browsing, office apps and audio/video playback. Additionally this processor can handle moderate workstation, and even light server workloads. Finally, with a gaming score of 83.9%, this CPUs suitability for 3D gaming is excellent.

68.3% is a good 3D score. This GPU can handle the majority of recent games at high resolutions and ultra detail levels.

16GB is enough RAM to run any version of Windows and it's more than sufficient for nearly all games. 16GB also allows for very large file and system caches, software development and batch photo editing/processing.

Windows 10 is the most recent version of Windows, and the best to date in our opinion.

re-ran the rest after tweaking some settings. v pleased with my results, though i can't figure out why for the life of me the cpu score is so low

Have you ever attempted to overclock it? Is it currently overclocked?

n that test after getting it stable at [email protected]. I brought it back down to 4ghz, but I'm wondering if overclocking it is messing with multi-thread workloads? that's where I'm losing the most of my score.

try setting it back to its default frequency and running it again, it's possible that you've overclocked it just past its sweet spot

[Kalahari Inkantation]

yeah I plan on running it tomorrow after setting it back to stock. do you know if gen 1 ryzen have XFR?

it does

[Kalahari Inkantation]

a 4.5-5ghz ryzen 1 chip would be like one in a billion lol

[Kalahari Inkantation]

wowzers

that's probably the best-performing ryzen 1 chip in the world lol

most of them struggle to achieve even 4.0ghz

[Kalahari Inkantation]

I'm praying dearly that with Ryzen 3 those frequencies will be a little closer to reality for the average chip.

[Kalahari Inkantation]

4.4ghz is about as high as zen+ gets, yes

zen 2 is being manufactured by tsmc though, and their process is ostensibly superior to globalfoundries'

if that fact plus the node shrink allow for frequencies closer to 5ghz, it would massively erode the advantage intel maintains over amd presently

5ghz might be a little optimistic though lol but here's hoping

[Kalahari Inkantation]

On a related note, a few days ago I managed to circumvent Intel's artificially imposed overclocking restrictions and boost my i5 6500 to a very stable ~4.1ghz.

MBD: Gigabyte GA-Z170N-Gaming 5

From an average bench of ~70% to 94.6%. Oh my goodness.

that's a free a 25% performance boost, which makes it about equal to the 7700k and puts it ahead of the 2600x, which is just nuts for a 2015-era i5

in put me in the top 1% of 6500 benchmarks lol

https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Intel-Core-i5-6500/Rating/3513

and that's with intel's standard cooler, which is terrible

in light of this, i yesterday ordered a 212 evo which should hopefully allow me to clock it even higher, apparently some 6500s can get as high as 4.4ghz which would be

But it's simply absurd that Intel deliberately sabotages is own products so massively just to make their most expensive processors seem more valuable. Is it really necessary to handicap a fine chip by as much as 25%+ just to create more pricing tiers?

it's total bullsh@ that beyond skylake they've made overclocking non-Ks completely impossible and that there are so many cpus forced to perform well below their potential

it actually costs them money to develop chipsets and software that strictly forbid overclocking and they're only doing that out of pettiness and spite

jesus incel's business practices lol
