I'm upgrading to a 5930K right now and I'd like to run some benchmarks to test it against my Old FX6350.
Unigine CineBench 7-Zip and Handbrake are already on my list.
Look for an upcoming thread called: Battle of the Hexa-Cores!
Star Citizen perhaps?
I want to know how badly my FX 8320 (close enough) is holding me back
I'll try but I'd have to download the whole game. may take a while on my internet connection
I want to see a super pi single threaded benchmark stock and overclocked.
x265 HD Benchmark seem like a good test considering the video encoding is the harshest task that any pc hardware will ever do.
Home
And Gaming benchmarks ofc.
Minesweeper!
On a more serious note, I think you have the right idea already, Cinebench, 7-zip, Handbrake, and some games should be good. Isn't there a Blender benchmark too or something?
I'm also curious to see if there is any difference in storage speeds, to see if there's any speed difference between the SATA controllers of the two platforms.
PCMark 11, Starcraft 2 200 vs. 200 fights/replay, Intel Burn Test, Performance Test (Passmark) and FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward Official Benchmark.
ps. and Crysis if you have it.
Sorry been really busy with work.
Star citizen has been a royal bitch to download due to century link taking a shit in the night and a new game patch droppibg.
I work again tomorrow but idk when I'll have time to sit down and just bench shit
How about a blender raytrace test?
I got it running and this last patch is really nice. The game is playable on my FX but not optimal due to physics spikes ranking the low IPC and slight input lag yet to test anything x99.
I'm DLing 3Dmark11 now.
How to you suppose I test 7zip? Get a bunch of pics and zip them and then one big movie and zip that for two tests?
For 7zip I would think you'd want a variety of stuff in there. Maybe dump various videos, music, pictures, word documents, spreadsheets, and maybe even a game folder or something into a folder and do that? I would definitely make it pretty sizable, even my laptop can crank through compressed files pretty quick.
I also think 7zip has a built in benchmarking tool as well.
sure
I've got a hex core Sandy-Bridge-EP chip coming in the mail. We should try setting up some benchmarks to show the progression of FX > SB-EP > H-EP. Clock them all at 4.2GHz maybe and run the same tests? There could be some major tells in how performance has increased in the last 4 years.
Havnt done 5930k tests yet, finishing up 6350.
Also I'm running the FX at 4.6
Pretty ballsy. You sure the 5930K will manage 4.6 stable for every test?
Never said I'd run then at the same clocks
Also I've got the psu mobo and cooler to potentially do 4.6 on the 5930k just have to test it
I thought you'd level clocks to show pure core performance alone. Nevermind then.
Doing 7zip now. Compression method recommendation? Idk what these are
