Forums - PC - Calculate Pi

My X2 3800 finished it in 42 seconds. Problem is I think the cool N Quiet setting probably throws any of the Athlons off a bit in this benchmark. Your cpu will down clock for fractions of a second while performing the calculations.

www.vanshardware.com has some of the best free benchmark suites available. I just fired up one of the benchmarks called Cosbi and sure enough it has my cpu clocked in at 1ghz. instead of the 2ghz that it is.

I re-ran Super-Pi and noticed it's only using one of my cores. What's up with that? And while using just one of my cores it uses at most 90% of the cpu power.... this benchmark is pretty lame.



Prepare for termination! It is the only logical thing to do, for I am only loyal to Megatron.

Your theories are the worst kind of popular tripe, your methods are sloppy, and your conclusions are highly questionable! You are a poor scientist. Especially if you think the moon landing was faked.

@AoA: Is that setting on your pc or in the program?

It's a setting on the Laptop itself, I right click an icon down the bottom task bar and it has options to choose from, such as 'Game', 'Super Power', 'DVD', 'Presentation' to name a few, I guess it configures the computer to best suit what you are doing, seems to work.

It's an 'Asus Gaming Notebook' (That's what it calls itself)



Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 - 21secs.



crappy old school NES games are more entertaining than next-gen games.

Cool so like 2 people can run crysis on full sttings.

CPU != GPU

I don't think the public has access to the computer that can run crysis on max.

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 - 13.3 seconds (equal first).

I have DDR2 1050 ram running at 1200 at the moment with a clock of 3.6ghz, it's possible to run this at 4.00ghz and put it down to 11.8 seconds however it's not stable enough for day to day usage.
