New CPU, Epic Mame performance..
#327528 - 06/28/14 02:58 PM


Devils Canyon

4690K



Single click overclock and 100% stable (or rather, I've yet to run anything that brings it down )

I suspect it could go higher but a LinX bench run pushed the temps up to 95c on a couple of cores, so I'll need a better cooler, in Mame temps never go above 53c.


and YAY!!! Radiant Silvergun is now 100%, 60fps..right to the bitter end.

Can highly recommend it to anyone wanting the ultimate CPU for Mame

Nice, give these a bench sometime if you're so inclined. .141 for CPU comparison sake.

[edit] Oh, and a couple of the games need to be setup first to get to demo mode, Scud and Gradius IV I think.

Ok, but how do I get it to write a text file with the results.

Onto a Mame shortcut I added "Propcycl -bench 90 -verbose" and saw that it was running, but as soon as it finished the CMD window closes before you can read the result.

Could you supply exactly what I should put, to get a text file on my C drive root directory.

DOS really isn't my thing...

Thnx

At the commandline, you could run this:

mame propcycl -bench 90 -verbose > bench.txt

I think you could do that via a Windows shortcut, as well.

command > file redirects the output of "command" to "file", overwriting the file.
command >> file redirects the output of "command" to "file", *adding* to the end of the file if it already exists.

Just open a text file and write lots of lines like:
mame propcycl -bench 90 -verbose >> bench.txt
mame scudr -bench 90 -verbose >> bench.txt
mame whatever -bench 90 -verbose >> bench.txt

Then save the file as mamebench.bat or something similar, just with the ".bat" extension. Run it. After some time it will end and you will have bench.txt with all the results.

Btw, I think that shortcuts that run in command line windows can be set somewhere in their properties to not "close window after finish" but I might be confusing it with something else. Anyway worth a look.

Just make the last line of your batch file

"pause"
-without the quotes & you can see it until you hit a key

Hey, I'm sorry you're butthurt that you're one of like two people who still assume that a command-line interface is "DOS", but don't take it out on me.

There aren't that many to run. You could get by with just going to windows-key+r, type cmd, then navigate to your mame directory and run:

mame blitz -bench 90

and hit enter, when it's done it will display the FPS percentage. Do that for the next few games.

Hopefully you're also using an x64 OS and Mame x64 version for top speed.

Figured it out..thanx to anyone that helped:

All run on 141 64bit for an apples to apples comparison, unless of course it being run on windows 8 changes things..don't think it does???



Yeah..some weird results, scud & gradius4 were much faster, whilst propcycle & radikalb were 10-20% slower at the same 4.8Ghz 4770K, is hyperthreading kicking in???

Dolphin I ran in a separate test as the cmd window fills with error codes as it runs, but does give a result of 56.

I will do some further benchmarks on Mame 153 64bit to see the difference.

BTW...4.8Ghz on 1.25 volts, EPIC chip.




EDIT: Mame 153 results



Wow!!!...slower or what.

Can you put all that data into columns, instead? It would be a little more organized for a direct comparison of mame versions.

Did you run Scud and Gradius IV normally before hand and set them up? Otherwise they stay at their diagnostic / dip-menus.

You have to set the link ID type for Scud and set the time for Gradius IV.
