Benchmark Software
Has anyone gotten any benchmark software to work? I've tried 3Dmark2001se,
aquamark3, Codecreatures, SiSoft Sandra 2004 Version, and GL Excess Version 1.2. The only ones I could get to run were Sis Sandra and GL Excess. Sis Sandra didn't detect most special features of my card (3D, Alpha Blending, etc.) and GL Excess looked beautiful and ran great but did not produce any results in the single benchmark mode (the results.htm file had colored bars all the same size with no numbers or indications of performance) and ran with errors at the end of each test in the multi-benchmark mode (I had to hit escape after each round of test then retry or abort to continue on to the next test) and still did not produce results.. -- Gregory I.

Don't know what to tell you... I have used Sandra for years with no
problems.... CHI-Matrix Administrator wrote: Has anyone gotten any benchmark software to work?

Instead of talking about benchmark software, I think you need to work out what is wrong with your system if half the stuff you run on it doesn't work. Sis Sandra didn't detect most special features of my card (3D, Alpha Blending, etc.) I could guess what card you have, but that would be much harder than you telling us. and GL Excess looked beautiful and ran great but did not produce any results in the single benchmark mode (the results.htm file had colored bars all the same size with no numbers or indications of performance) and ran with errors at the end of each test in the multi-benchmark mode (I had to hit escape after each round of test then retry or abort to continue on to the next test) and still did not produce results.. Well if you told us a bit about your system and whether Prime95 Torture Test and Memtest86 (I presume this works on AMD64) produce errors we might be able to help.

Apology accepted
Got SiSoftware Sandra working, Loaded and ran SpecViewPerf 7.1 O.K. Now I can compare with other systems. I am only running This stuff for a few days more. It will be interesting to see what numbers I get with 32bit XP Pro reloaded . I don't have any "before" benchmarks. Gregory I. Hayes "Ben Pope" wrote in message ...
