Very low PCmark05 score..... WHY???

DrunkenMafia · Apr 21, 2007, 04:28 AM

ok so I did a pc mark benchy today and this is my score:

Main Test Results

Now with my old opty 148 and ide hard drive I got around 4 grand.... whats up with this?? I didn't take a screeny to compare to, so I can't see where the main problem is... don't know all that much about this app anyways...

If anything sticks out let me know....

I have noticed that winblows takes ages to load these days too, around 3 minutes with CCC and MSN etc...

Wile E · Apr 21, 2007, 04:55 AM

Did you shut down all your unnecessary services? Especially anti-vir.

DrunkenMafia · Apr 21, 2007, 04:58 AM

nah man.. will try that, I had anti virus going with my opty 148 though.. will post back in a minute

That truely blows, the system seems to be running ok though, i still get good benchies with everest etc

Wile E · Apr 21, 2007, 05:33 AM

It looks as though it failed some tests. Maybe you should look thru your event log to see if any services or drivers are throwing errors.

DownTownLB · Nov 30, 2007, 01:43 AM

This SEEMS to be a fairly common problem......and I have it as well. I've yet to find ANY solutions.

Doesn't anybody know what causes these poor HDD scores in FutureMark?

Thanks,
Larry

lol. with that rig in ur specs?

There's your problem, maybe try bootvis?

DownTownLB · Nov 30, 2007, 04:41 PM

The ONLY scores I'm significantly "off" from the #1 system with specs like mine are the 3 HDD scores

http://service.futuremark.com/orb/re...0&UID=12395873

MY Scores
HDD - XP Startup 0.03 MB/s
HDD - General Usage 0.0 MB/s
Multithreaded Test 3 / HDD - Virus Scan 0.02 MB/s

#1 System Scores
HDD - XP Startup 10.42 MB/s
HDD - General Usage 7.08 MB/s
Multithreaded Test 3 / HDD - Virus Scan 46.19 MB/s

Everything else is within a few reason. This is my first SATA HD.........is there some obvious BIOS setting or something similar I have goofed on? My HDTach scores "seem" ok: SEQUENTIAL READ = 80MB/s down to 40 MB/s BURST SPEED - 130 MB/s

Again............any ideas.....ANY HELP would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks,
Larry

Just recheck BIOS setting........set everything to Optimized Defaults just to be sure. Ran EndItAll to kill all background programs and then re-ran PCMark..........same results! I'm stumped!!!

What are your system specs? You can go to your User CP for this site, and fill them in. We can help a little better if we know exactly what we're dealing with.

DownTownLB · Dec 1, 2007, 07:39 PM

Specs posted..........I really don't understand WHAT could cause this. I'd have to guess it's a setting I'm missing. My HD is an SATA installed on channel 2.

One odd thing I NEVER NOTICED until this cropped up.........a USB "Safely Remove Hardware" icon shows up in the system tray at all times and the HD is listed there when I click on it. Again....and I remind you this is my first experience with a SATA drive........is that a 'normal' situation?

Thanks,
Larry

JrRacinFan · Dec 1, 2007, 10:12 PM

IIRC, SATA hdd's are hotswappable.

DownTownLB · Dec 1, 2007, 10:58 PM

One down.....TWO to go

I reran WITHOUT using EndItAll to shutdown all the background BS -- I thought maybe it was shutting down something important to do with the HDD scoring.

Sadly, not.....well, not quite.........

However, on this run I got a very good HDD - XP Startup score of 10.08 MB/s and a final score of 1795.....so I'm gaining.

Still............THESE scores blow!

HDD - General Usage 0.0 MB/s
Multithreaded Test 3 / HDD - Virus Scan 0.03 MB/s

Did you pull the jumper off of the back of the hard drive?

JrRacinFan · Dec 3, 2007, 04:56 AM

Ok here's my score and config, just so you can compare. Now I had the proc OC'd to 4.4Ghz.

His mobo is SATA II. My DFI NF4 board does it as well.

sata II hotswap, so you can disable the drive to remove it with the system on.

DownTownLB · Dec 5, 2007, 02:22 AM

Ok.......removed the jumper.

Results are somewhat better, but still not anywhere near "On Par" with the similar systems. In fact it's the one step forward with this score getting in line

Multithreaded Test 3 / HDD - Virus Scan 65.06 MB/s

and this one falling back to near zero

HDD - XP Startup 0.03 MB/s

The third score remains unchanged at

HDD - General Usage 0.0 MB/s

http://service.futuremark.com/orb/re...0&UID=12491241

The overall score is my best yet at 1987, however that's still Less Than HALF of the top 6 scores for systems 'like' mine

Results are somewhat better, but still not anywhere near "On Par" with the similar systems. In fact it's the one step forward with this score getting in line Multithreaded Test 3 / HDD - Virus Scan 65.06 MB/s and this one falling back to near zero HDD - XP Startup 0.03 MB/s The third score remains unchanged at HDD - General Usage 0.0 MB/s http://service.futuremark.com/orb/re...0&UID=12491241 The overall score is my best yet at 1987, however that's still *Less Than HALF* of the top 6 scores for systems 'like' mine
