FRONTPAGE New Benchmark and Competition: CatZilla!

Overclockers.com · Dec 21, 2012

There's a new challenger in the world of 3D benchmarking! It's from a little (un?) known company called Allbenchmark. As the name suggests, it involves a cat. A rather large cat, at that. Want to know more? Keep reading!

The competition thread is here!

One of the things I like about CatZilla is the pricing. Basic functionality is free, saving multiple results and such (something you usually have to pay $15-$25 for) costs a whopping $4.
Below is a SS of the ordering page (link), showing the features for the prices.

I'm also fond of cats.

My first thought after running the bench...

Ashe: "White cat... I choose you!"

So far, I like the bench. It's entertaining even though I despise dubstep, and it doesn't take very long to run.

It crashes on me... My system is Prime95 24h stable and 3DMark11 Xtreme 12h stable. But, just as soon as the CATZILLA loading screen shows up, it dies with an "ALLBenchmark.exe has stopped working..." screen

***NOTE*** In a couple of hours, AllBenchmark is going to publish an update to the Catzilla bench. You can NOT update from inside the bench, they wanted the initial download to be light, so the auto-updater isn't implemented. We'll need to re-download it (and then re-run it...beta testing FTW!). They weren't specific other than to state it would be "ready in a couple of hours".

Save your BIOS settings in a profile, then put everything at default and then trying running it to see if it's crashing regardless.

Bobnova · Dec 21, 2012

I found that mine crashed like that when I ran out of RAM.
It needs ~600MB free. Page file not included.

txus.palacios · Dec 21, 2012

6GB free.

Set everything to default bar the XMP profile. No luck.

Bobnova · Dec 21, 2012

Set that to default too.
Load optimized defaults and run with it.

EDIT:
What OS?

Bobnova · Dec 21, 2012

New version seems to score a bit higher.

txus.palacios · Dec 21, 2012

No luck, everything default, RAM at 1333MHz (default), XMP off.
EDIT: Windows 8 right now.

EarthDog · Dec 21, 2012

Its not made for W8...I dont think..

EDIT: It does... was reading an old post about it.

Tien Lung · Dec 21, 2012

It says the Catalyst drivers (which I just updated, and read as 11-8-2012 release date in ALLBENCH) are "critically' out of date. As such the run button is dead; won't even let my try to run it. Anything else DX11 runs just fine.

Bobnova · Dec 21, 2012

What OS are you on, Tien?

Tien Lung · Dec 21, 2012

Win 7-64 bit

So, Sli does not seem to work for me at all. :shrug:

I get 4161 points with a single card and only 3786 in Sli....

dejo · Dec 21, 2012

ya, my daily spanking. Best I could do was 5800 on the gtx480

Bobnova · Dec 21, 2012

I'm going to give my 580 a whirl at some point here out of curiosity.

I think RAM / timings is much more key than usual, also IMC.

peanutbudder · Dec 21, 2012

Is anyone else having issues with sli/cf setups? I am just curious why it did worse with sli enabled.

Bobnova · Dec 21, 2012

I know some are. I believe there's a specific type of SLI (grab Nvidia Inspector) that works.
