FEATURED Marathon Season VI November: PCMark 05

[Johan45]

I know there are some that don't really like this benchmark but I do. I thought it would be fitting for some of our newer members since it has to be the most "tweakable" benchmarks that I know of. It'll be good practice and is still worth some points at HWBot. The downlaod page I am linking also has the free benchmark codes from 3D/PCmark, use them.
For those that have never run this benchmark before, pay close attention to the submission rules. I will disallow submissions that don't follow this XP Startup must be kept below 220 MB/s

Curious, how do you control the XP Startup score? I just ran it & scored higher than what's allowed.

HDD - XP Startup: 225 MB/s

 

[Johan45]

You have to tranfer a random file to the HDD to slow the transfer speed down during the XP test. Takes a bit of messing around to get timing and file size right closer you are to 220 the better your score

Oldie but goodie!

i hate this one so much, I'll dredge up my trusty, rusty sempron 3200+ machine..............

Why do I get a feeling I'm gonna hate this one? Not just the above, but getting it to run some of the tests at all isn't proving easy on Win7. Do I need XP?

 

[(G{in}[AK)TION]]

Ran it on my computer and found that the xp startup score is 12.552 MB/s.

I am guessing its because i have Intel SRT enabled or something...

does this pass?

 

[JLK03F150]

Mackerel, do you have Media Encoder 9 installed? Ran fine on my Win7 system with Media Encoder.

Direct download link

 

[dejo]

try starting with administrator rights

 

[mackerel]

Tried installed WME9, setting it as admin, reducing resolution and colour depth, setting the best quality option I think it mentioned somewhere. The early video tests (2-x) say fail to initialise or similar.

Same here... I think I'll pass.

 

[Johan45]

PCMark05 won't usually run if you have media player 11 on the machine. Roll it back to 10

 

[Aleslammer]

This could be a fun one Q/E 6600 with a few new tools and good HWBoints.

 

[batboy]

Yeah on Windows 10, it wants me to roll back to media player 9, but after all that hassle, then it still won't complete all the tests.

 

[Johan45]

I wouldn't even try Win10 B_B. This is an old benchmark and as you can read even on Win7 people have issues

 

[(G{in}[AK)TION]]

johan do you want us to whip out our old desktops from 2005 or something? i havent tried it again yet but from what people are saying here, it seems like you want us to.

I mean modern hardware with windows xp?

 

[Johan45]

It works best in 7x64

 

[Johan45]

OK this is for all you non believers. 1700X with a Fury
I installed Win7x64 SP1 with Xhci, USB3 and Nvme drivers slipped in. Then Win Media encoder and IE 9 after that it'll run every time............... well mostly
