DirectX 9 CPU Benchmark Thread

Yeah, these results look too low, I'd expect at least above 150...

 

finally, second test

 

Any ideas on why i could be getting such low scores? Having issues with raceroom, and seems to be CPU related. Use to work fine.

 

I have no experience with AMD cpus but I think it is very likely that your cpu in not changing its state to high performance mode.
Try to monitorize in real time what is the cpu frequency when running RR or this benchmark, it is possible that it runs at idle speeds.
Power management settings can help you in this, setting it to performance mode, or disabling core parking, checking cpu affinity... these kind of things.

 

Thank you for the reply, I do however think this might be something realted to my GPU drivers. When running the benchmark i saw that my GPU is pinned on 100%.

As far as i understand this benchmark should not be doing this correct?

 

Although I did a directx11 benchmark and my CPU was definitely clocking higher. Also scored 11k on that. So you might have a point.

 

Did another run for directx11 for reference, although i understand that it might not be relevant.
