Welcome in the Driverheaven Super PI topic. You can post your Super PI results in this topic. You can also discuss about your score or that from someone else.

What is Super PI?
Super PI is a program that calculates the mathematical constant PI and it shows how much time your PC takes to calculate the number. There are different settings in SPI. You can let your PC calculate PI at 16000 decimals (16k) or even 32 million (32M). The most common setting is 1M. The more decimals, the more time it takes to calculate. Your CPU also needs to be more stable for a long run. So it’s possible that you can calculate 1M at 4 GHz and 32M for example only at 3,7 GHz.



What do you need to do?
The goal is to get the lowest possible time with your system. I will set the scores of 1M, 8M and 32M in the topicstart, but you can also show your other scores.

Rules
You will need to make a screenshot of you score. The screenshot must meet the following requirements:
- SuperPI must be visible with the screen “PI calculation is done”.
- The checksum must be visible.
- CPU-z screen of CPU, Memory, SPD and Mainboard tabs.

not sure I rate this at all to be honest. never really have. its more a frequency test than a multiprocessing test which bears very little in relation to real world performance. only partially loads 2 cores of the 16 core EP system I have.

play if you like chaos, for now i'm chillen, not gunna pull out anymore hairs trying to adjust the plethora of voltages on this thing, least not till next week

Xeon 3360 on its way, god i hope its an E0, then i'll atleast get the same clocks again, maybe more fsb, but i dunno bout this ram.

9500GT it is for me. I need to get a new soldering iron too.
OCP is @ 1,35V apparently and coldbug @ ~-50, although I didn't tested it (yet).

It's also about efficiency (= score * frequency). The lower the better. And you are correct about that it doesn't use a lot of cores. Therefore a lot of Duo cores (E8600) are used for this type of benchmark. However the new i7's also got a good effiency. They are often used for long term SPI (4M, 8M). With lower frequency they get a lower time (= better score) in comparison to the E8600 for example.

And by the way, not everyone has two QX9775's :P

Well its actually not really about efficiency either, thats a part of the point im making. I used to hang around a lot on xtremesystems.org and i know its a hugely popular application over there. I personally feel it shows very little of use to anyone in real world terms. A person on a slightly lower clocked quad for example will score less than someone on a highly clocked dual. Reality quite often is the reverse. Which is the point im making.

I have never been a fan of synthetic benching because it really is quite meaningless. and this application imo is one of the worst.

I dont think anyone in their right mind would assume that a dual core Intel chip at 4ghz is better than say a 16 "core" EP at 2.8-3ghz. Thats basically what that app will show however (I see 41% CPU use on ONE core on a system which I can't really discuss under intel NDA atm).

But ill quit posting in here, its great you are making the effort and I appauld it. hope you guys have fun with it

I completely understand, but which benchmark is then a good representative? 3Dmark06 is very dependent on CPU score (Quad core wins almost all the time), but in 2006 there weren't many games (you could count them on one hand) that used a Quad core. Even now few games support it. And then you have 3mark Vantage, that when you enable PhysX on your NV card your score gets a great boost. However, how many games support PhysX? Also a few.
And there are definitely also

Now a days those benchmarks are just about getting high scores. For some people it's even a hobby. Making cash is also one of the reasons behind the whole thing.

Even games aren't such a great comparison tool, because each game reacts different on every system. One game uses the CPU more and the other the graphics card. Because not all games use the full potential of a quad core, a duo core often delivers higher FPS. Simply because those two cores are higher clocked. So it's just which game or benchmark you run. They all react differently.

I just wanted to get a topic started so the whole benchmarking scheme here on DH would maybe be improved. And because these benchmarks react quite well on overclocks people will want to get that little bit of score more to end up higher in the score list.

Anyone really serious about running SuperPi uses Task Manager to choose the best single core of any CPU to run it even if they have a multi-core CPU.

5271 under what cooling? And what made you drop the QX for a normal 9650 like in your system specs?


@hobo - You would beat me probably in FSB, I can only get about 500 on this X48... P45 will probably clock a bit better.


EDIT: Moved this to the newly relocated benching subforum

Under dry ice, I no longer have the Extreme, it now resides in Australia, well as of last November it did anyways. My son now has the GA-P35-DQ6 mobo in his rig. One of the best mobos I have ever owned.

ChaosMinionX

Ahh dry ice.... what mix and pot did you use?

Acetone, used an F1 by KingPin with lots of tissue paper, overflowed quite a bit as it is an LN2 pot and is quite small for dry ice.

Good stuff, those are sick pots

Nice to see some results.

Apparently there is a huge difference between C2D and a AMD X2. Nevertheless, nice job
