Bill Gates Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) looking here: http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/patriot_pyro/11.htm i was wondering why your vantage hdd score is so low? here is mine for the same drive: which is higher than any of the drives in your list here are links to an m4 256 vantage runs i did which are even higher http://3dmark.com/pcmv/467611 http://3dmark.com/pcmv/467612 http://3dmark.com/pcmv/467614 Edited September 28, 2011 by Bill Gates Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MercuryDoun Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 Its probably because of the chipset used. X58 is "Old" and "Slow" compared to the Z68 you have. Comparing drive scores on cross platform is a good way to test total platform performance, this is what you have done. But the true way to test drive speed is by having a constant, with the only variable being the drives themselves. In this way your truly testing the difference of the drives.

In this way your truly testing the difference of the drives. i know that but here it the test setup used in that review Testing Setup: Processors: Core i7 2600K @ 3.4GHz 100 x 34 Motherboard: ASUS Maximus IV Extreme Memory: Mushkin 996805 Redline PC312800 6-8-6-24 1600MHz 4GB Video Card: XFX Radeon HD6970 Power Supply: Mushkin 1000W Joule Modular power supply Hard Drive: Patriot Pyro 120GB Optical Drive: Lite-On Blu-Ray Case: Corsair Graphite Series 600T OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit its not an old setup its the same as mine pretty much. They used a pyro 120 i used a pyro 120. so where is the difference? I'm not sure what you mean could you explain further?

Speedway Posted September 28, 2011 Posted September 28, 2011 I'm not to familiar with the way PCMark Vantage scores a CPU overclock, but his 2600K was at stock, 1GHz less than your OC. So there is one difference, and I'm sure between your system and the test sytem there are other differences as well! What Merc was saying is the only way to truly show a good comparison between the same 2 drives, is to test those same 2 drives in an identical system and identical clock speeds! You also have twice as much RAM as the test setup! So, if I were you, and you want to see if the difference is in your CPU OC, set your 2600K to stock and re-run the tests. Like I said earlier, I'm not sure how much consideration is given to CPU OC in the PCMArk Vantage test. But, I would still be shocked if a bench from FutureMark didn't take a CPU OC into consideration, especially since their other benches score big CPU OC's pretty heavy! You may even want to take 4GBs of RAM out of your system so that it is closer to an Apples-to-Apples comparision Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bclk is 100 like his so i dont think that oc will matter. amount of ram does not matter. when i get a chance i run at 3.4ghz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
