Minotaurtoo

Cpu details of a specific benchmark. Link

Today I found a listing in Userbenchmark showing how well the new 7950x is currently performing, likely not it's final performance, but still a hint of what to expect. The review text caught me off guard. I knew there was an anti-AMD bias by whoever writes the reviews, but this one really stood out to me. Screenshot taken just in case they change it later, but here is the link. https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/SpeedTest/1932596/AMD-Ryzen-9-7950X-16-Core-Processor

after 30+ years working with an old Radio Shack 30w soldering iron, I got tired of waiting and struggling just to get some solder on a wire.... so I bought this butane soldering iron. I do not solder much, but when I do, I want it to be quick... its first job was to put a new pigtail on my old trucks air conditioning fan... worked flawlessly, even used it to shrink the heat shrink thanks to all that hot exhaust that comes out a conveniently small port.

you have my respect... if for whatever reason I end up with an extra gpu I'll contact you... I just gave my only extra 5700xt to my sons friend who was still running an old 970.

you can exclude me from the prizes if you want, I was mostly doing it to see what my ppd would be like when winter gets here... nothing like curing things while heating the house up.

firedfly playing 3d chess and here I am playing solitaire with a deck of 51 .... seriously though, good job everyone!

I was wondering that too.

I guess that's what I need to do... I don't like leaving mine on while I'm gone too much though.... been water cooling since bulldozer and still nervous lol

I'm going to be a little late on the start.... I'm on second shift for a while and won't be home till after midnight central time. drat it all.

In Minotaurtoo. I hope I don't forget lol...

fine by me, I only was hoping to see what I actually averaged over the 2 days lol... (I forgot to look at my total before I started)

I'm still at the edge of my seat waiting to see what my 48hr points tally is : ) Those new drivers really made a difference

I'm a bit late here, but having lived in that area and knowing how those streets are... I'm amazed there aren't more accidents like this... I lived on the north side of town on Merrimon and man I can tell you getting around could be a nightmare at times back in the late 90's... I usually stuck to side streets when possible...

well as the finish line is approaching I've started getting some nice work units and my ppd estimations have been holding at 5mil +, way better than with the old drivers. Surprisingly the cooler than normal temps outside held long enough for me to make it the whole time.

well so far I've discovered that my undervolt on the gpu isn't 100% stable, but otherwise so far so good.... here's looking at the finish line. This winter I'll be back to folding as normal, for the heat.

IN as Minotaurtoo Temps outside cooled down a bit so I figured I'd join in, may have to tone it down a bit or even turn off FAH for a bit if it gets too hot... as such if you want to exclude me from prizes, by all means do... I really don't need them anyway and would rather see someone who needs them get it.

I asked it for a city made out of computer parts.

wonder if it fixed an issue I had where I had to disable smart access memory or I'd have a driver crash when folding.... doing a short test now... so far PPD estimates are way up... I may join in the comp just to see.

Thank you for all your hard work keeping this site going. Love it! Way better than the "other" site that would take years to do nothing about a known problem.

when given the right prompts this thing's pretty good... here's Machu Picchu in the clouds

@bonami2 the thing seems to have a unique way of interpreting what you want lol... I love it though.

yep and even within companies comparisons are only good for exact same hardware... here is a fine example... the 9590 at first glance looks better than the 1700, but looking across at the sub scores shows that's not the case. The problem as I see it, is that userbenchmark calls it a "gaming score" in the processor area up top... now we know that a 9590 isn't better at gaming, or anything for that matter, than a 1700. full disclosure, both were overclocked mildly. This is the only benchmark that I saw the 9590 show a "lead" in.... but as has been stated, it just shows the full story is to the right of that "bench" score percentage. If I had to guess, I'd say it was due to the severely increased latency that ryzen had with memory.

I love userbench for quick dirty benchmarks when comparing like hardware... but beyond that, I look elsewhere for intel-amd or amd-Nvidia comparisons... I don't think it's as bad as people say, a benchmark is just a benchmark and I don't think anything nefarious is going on. However, the person in charge of reviews is biased and often on an ati-amd rant... Just read these reviews to see what I mean: https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/Intel-Core-i5-11600K/Rating/4113 https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/AMD-Ryzen-5-5600X/Rating/4084 Now don't get me wrong, that's totally their prerogative, but it does mean I will take them far less seriously than I otherwise would. On the core count argument... I find that funny because many of intel's own high core count chips fell way down the list compared to their own 6 core chips in the past... right now on their current generation, the stack up in Intel is pretty much following the core count, but I think that's due to Intel's better binning process on their latest chips. For those who think that there are no real life examples of amd getting their butts handed to them, just look at FAH... while at gaming I find the 6900xt to be pretty much on par or slightly behind the 3090 in most case with raytracing off, in folding... no... it falls way behind. For me, the 6900xt made sense... just happens that my favorite games do better with it and at the time it was way cheaper....I actually got it cheaper than a 6800xt at the time don't know what was up with that.

ok, it's old, but here's one of my best overall tunes: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/43615155
