A New Benchmark " ALLBenchmark "

[sushrukh]

I found a new Benchmark so thought about posting.They also have an ORB for uploading & sharing results.

Download Link :- http://www.allbenchmark.com/download/finish/1-download/38-allbenchmark-1-0-beta15

My result ( everything in stock ) I ran it on 1280x720 ( 720p ) like we run 3D Mark tastes.

[PP Mguire]

Just tried downloading it twice and when I go to install it says files are corrupt.

[PP Mguire]

Finally got it. Stock GPU.

[CDsDontBurn]

Is this from Futuremark?

[PP Mguire]

No it's completely different.

[blackplague]

It is really nicely set up. LOL it kinda hurt my feeling's by telling me my system sucks, but all is well.

[sushrukh]

The company or the benchmark is supposed to be named Catzilla.You can Google about it.They offer an Advanced version too.It's now in the beta stage.

^^^ Post your score anyways.Not everybody can have a beast of a machine.If it allows you to run the benchmark , then Please do post the score. :)

[peti1212]

I'll give this a try, looks interesting!

[PP Mguire]

I'll give this a try, looks interesting!Oh nah nah, we aren't interested in your score :p

[peti1212]

It's ok, I'm just running a stock i7-3820 right now with no OC to any part of my PC.

Specs for the results:

Intel Core i7-3820 (Stock)
Nvidia GeForce GTX 690 2GB (Stock)
GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB OC - PhysX (Stock)
Kingston 32GB 1600Mhz Memory
ASUS P9X79 WS Rev Motherboard

[PP Mguire]

Why not the 3960x?

[peti1212]

Slapped that into the test bench, and using the 3820 in my main system that I don't mess around with that much.

[sushrukh]

We feel bit of inferiority complex seeing Peter's scores.Lolz. :yes:

[CDsDontBurn]

Just noticed that Freeman is #4 on the list. His systems have always been hrlla awesome.

[PP Mguire]

We feel bit of inferiority complex seeing Peter's scores.Lolz. :yes:
Not really for me considering what I have vs what he has.

[Joshua_Mahr]

I just ran it. With only 1 of 2 gpu's running(had gpu apart for cleaning). Will run test at full bore soon.

[sushrukh]

Are we all running the test at 720p ? Otherwise they won't be comparable i think.I chose 720p coz FM also suggests to run their default benchmarks at this res.

@Joshua , can you upload a bigger pic ? Sub scores aren't visible in your pic. :)

@Peter & PP , I have a spare XFX 8800 GTS which i had won from here.If i use that as a dedicated Physx card instead of my GTX 460 , will there be any benefit in these tests where Physx scores are calculated too or better FPS maybe in games that require Physx ? I haven't yet used another card for Physx , so not aware of this.

[PP Mguire]

I'm going to guess probably not. Just make sure PhysX is set to your 460 in the NVCP.

[sushrukh]

I'm going to guess probably not. Just make sure PhysX is set to your 460 in the NVCP.
Thanks.That's what it is currently.The Auto option does the same too which automatically turns on GPU PhysX when a graphic appli is being running.Before running any benchie, i always make sure that PhysX is set to my GPU or Auto.For FM tests , i have to put it on CPU though as we know FM doesn't consider GPU PhysX enabled tests as valid scores.

This ok?

[CDsDontBurn]

I want my RAID array to work! I'd be getting all my games and benchark stuuf installed now!

[Joshua_Mahr]

Enable legacy usb 2.0 in your bios and make sure your keyboard is in the correct slot at top back of motherboard. You should be able to press CTRL-I and get into the raid. If not install the raid driver in the OS and create from there.

Interesting benchmark. I think I'll it a go once I reinstall my OS.

Your screenshots are fine Joshua_Mahr.

Which HDDs you want to place in a RAID array ? Models ?

[Joshua_Mahr]

BTW I forgot to mention I like the music and screenplay of this benchmark!

I will try to test the system tonight with both GPU's. Better crank up the big rig Peti, I'm gonna smash your score!

[peti1212]

Don't let me unleash my overclocked system, and the 3960X!!! :P

[PP Mguire]

Doo eeet.

Which HDDs you want to place in a RAID array ? Models ?

a total of 3x 320GB 16MB 7200 RPM drives.

2x are Samsung drives and 1x Seagate drive. (I forget the models right now). I know it's not optimal since they're not identical, but the have same specs so it'll still work.

That's why i asked you the question.Err , i think you should always use identical HDDs ( exact same model & same capacity ) for a Raid array.I am not sure if your attempt will be successful but make sure you don't damage the disks because it's not the ideal way to make a RAID array.If Samsung drives are same models then you should go with those 2 only but if you try to mix & match different manufacturer's drives ( even if they have same spec ) in a RAID Array , it may not work or simply will not work.

If i'm wrong ,Please correct me guys.

If i'm wrong ,Please correct me guys.

It'll work. At my last job half of my duties were working with NAS / SAS enclosures, onboard and add-in RAID cards for various RAID environments so I know quite a bit about how this works. The company was a System Integrator for embedded and industrial PCs, so data storage was also an important aspect of my duties.

Basically as long as the drives have the same specs, the RAID will work without issue. The important thing to know about the HDD specs for RAID, is that all drives should have the same capacity, buffer, and RPM speeds for it to work properly / optimally. Even if they're different capacities but have same specs otherwise, the RAID will still work. If different capacities, they'll only give you a maximum capacity of the smallest drive to work with. So, if you have a 250GB HDD and 2 320GB HDDs and you want to setup a RAID 0, the RAID 0 will only work off of the smaller 250GB HDD. So, instead of having a total capacity of 890GB, you'll only have a total capacity of 750GB.

If you have mixed drives like in my example above and you just want to utilize the capacity of all the drives put together, then you want a JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks). Here, it works similar to RAID 0 but because of the nature of the environment, the controller simply allows for all drives to be used to their fullest capacity without regard for other HDD specifications. Personally, I wouldn't use this but people do.

While your concern of using all identical drives is valid, it's not necessarily a requirement for RAID as long as other aspects of the drives are identical.

As for my Samsung HDDs, yes, they're both identical :-P.

Sorry.Thanks for the details. :)

[Scott]

None of you guys noticed the spyware and malware this **** put on your machine? Clean build on my machine tested daily. After installing this thing I spent 2 hours getting all the spyware off. Installed root kit and key logger in it.

[sushrukh]

OMG.How come ? I provided the official download link from the official site ( http://www.allbenchmark.com/ ) & nothing harmful got installed in my case.I have AVG Internet Security 2013 with latest updates.It did not find anything when i installed it.Also i just checked my Task Manager & Add/Remove Programs.I can't find anything unusual myself.


Guys , Please report back if this happened to you too.Did you download it from the official site Scott ?


This benchmark also got a special mention on HWBOT :- http://hwbot.org/newsflash/1876_catzilla_beta_goes_public___test_it_now


HWBOT says this about this benchmark on the above link :- " This is the best alternative to the Futuremark benchmark series ".


Just as a Proof to be safe from my side.


http://i50.tinypic.com/jkd3e9.jpg


http://i49.tinypic.com/lwtoi.jpg


Anybody is very much welcome to scan & test the app with whatever they have.This is a clean app from my side.I also posted this same post on other forum & no-one had any issues with it.


Please read the above HWBOT.ORG's point of view about this software.And check the download link.It's not mine.It's from the official site http://www.allbenchmark.com/.


It's NOT any way possible that this company will include a Key Logger with their First Benchmark which even HWBOT is praising.


Sorry for the inconvenience though.


This ain't fair.After so many years , I could get the courage to return back where I belong & i'm getting accused of something which i did not do. :(


Will you now tell me that because of this app , BJ3D got offline for the past hours ? :(


Please check if the malware came from a different source. :(

[Joshua_Mahr]

Wow. I noticed none of this. I also scanned the install.

[sushrukh]

Wow. I noticed none of this. I also scanned the install.

There is actually nothing unusual in the exe.You are most welcome to scan the exe with all the AV's available in the market.I can guarantee you that nothing will be found anywhere.The malwares must have come from another source.

When HWBOT says that it's the best alternative to FutureMark benchmarks , then it can't be like that.

[Scott]

Well I had nothing before the install and after installing it I noticed some sluggishness in my machine. So I ran all the tools I run to fix customers machines on mine as I usually do and crap was in registry and other files. Combifx and RKill had a hay day.

[sushrukh]

I would wait for everyone's reply here who ran this benchmark. :)

[PP Mguire]

Avast user here, nothing here and nothing suspicious from Hijackthis logs on either machines I ran it on.

[blackplague]

Used it and malwarebyte's didnt pick up on anything and neither did MSE

[werty316]

NOD32 didn't pick up anything.

WTF, nothing against you. My god why is it always against you when you come on this site. I had a perfectly clean machine and then installed this and had lots of issues. I posted to let people know. I think I have tracked it to the DX update they pushed. It my not be a right DX update or could open a hole in it.

[sushrukh]

It's Ok.Please never think Scott that i will try to affect/infect your members because this used to be my home & i used to belong here.I really love this forum. :)

I just came back because my friend Adi ( Ca_Adi ) insisted that I should come back.I was trying to find a suitable time & decided to join on the Christmas Day.

I'm only here to contribute & to communicate with my old friends.Nothing else. :)

Did you make sure it didn't install the Bing! bar? I have noticed newer DX updates now have a stupid Bing! bar install and it's easy to miss. I've done it once before.

Yes the file size seems a lot bigger for people like us who have slow net. :( :)

[Cody_Irwin]

Yeap, Im prolly gonna install windows 8 on the SSD I am receiving and do some benchmarks after I get my other 560ti from RMA when I send it in.
Maybe do one with just one 560ti though

[Joshua_Mahr]

Win 8.. You like it?

[Joshua_Mahr]

CD's you going to run this bench on your new rig?

[werty316]

Windows 8? BLEH!

[sushrukh]

I personally like it very much.Faster than Win 7 ( on the same SSD ) & all my Win 7 apps are running in Win 8 without any problems. :)

[Joshua_Mahr]

Ran the Benchmark on my work computer for a goof. See what happens when I get bored...

[Cody_Irwin]

Haven't tried it yet, whole point of a new SSD TO try it on =P
Also I hear people get better benches from win 8 because it uses less resources overall for the entire computer.

[sushrukh]

Faster how?

Faster Boot-up times & app load times.My lappy with even an inferior Kingston V100 128GB Boots into Windows 8 in approximate 10 secs.And the OS itself feels a lot faster.

Yes that is correct.I get better benchmark scores in Win 8 than 7.

You can try it guys.If you don't like it then you can always go back to Win 7 but the new OS is good. :)

[PP Mguire]

I have 8 on my SSD now. Boots slower than 7 actually.
I haven't been able to compare benches yet but they should be rather similar actually. My last batch of benches actually marked 8 as slightly slower than 7 by about 1-2FPS so like I said similar.

[peti1212]

probably clicked the wrong download link? I constantly check my system, nothing got infected, and no spyware or malware to be found.

[blackplague]

Peti that could be true cause i remember going to the link at first and it saying download not found, but i do believe it had something to do with not having a account with them.



Well this is what i get from the link,

Unauthorized access to downloads!

Well you don't need an account with them to download the benchie.I did not have earlier.But after trying several times to get the download started i found this way to get the thing done.PP , no the Hotlink is not bad but they have disabled direct clicking on the download link.

Just try this :-

1) Do not left Click on the download link.Instead right click & copy the link.

2) Then open a new tab & paste the download link & press enter.You will get the download started.

Weird is not it ?

Windows 8 Metro interface had been designed thinking Touch screens in mind.I don't have a Touch screen.So, i have replaced the Metro interface with the Start ORB like we used to see in other Windows versions.

Yes it is pretty damn good.Just try once.I don't think you will be regretting. :)

I would like to try to not get off topic but whats the point? A person would save $ if they stuck with Windows 7 instead of making Windows 8 look like Windows 7 while paying twice.

I gave the public version a try and all I have to say is I'm glad I didn't shell out the $ to pay for this crap.

In the same time frame that Windows 8 has been out Vista has a higher usage percentage which should give you a good indication of how consumers have responded to Windows 8.

[sushrukh]

I've been regretting putting it on my SSD :|

Why So ? It became slower ? :confused:

When I will have my laptop back from RMA , i will install Win 8 Pro on my Vertex 4 & will post a video here to see if there is any sluggishness etc.

I tried to mean I only made getting the Start ORB back which was not present in Win 8.The rest of the OS is completely untouched & feels exactly a new OS should.

Sorry I don't know what do you mean by the Public version but as far as i'm concerned , i'm not noticing any problem in the Retail version.But yes , if you feel you are not comfortable using it then it's better to stick to 7. :)

[werty316]

Because Windows 8 is crap. Instead of a evolution from Windows 7 we have a another Vista.

Quirks with the OS I don't like. There are a few things I do like, but it just isn't mature yet. Finding problems I never saw in 7 like driver crashing randomly for my 580 when it never used to. Merging my server with my PC has been a complete nightmare due to the new admin privilege system being overly anal. I can't really compare it to Vista, because what made Vista terrible was the backwards direction in performance even in SP2 state. So I can't agree with Werty there, but making 8 look like 7 comment I do agree. It is pointless to pay the price to make this OS look the same as 7 when there isn't any real benefit. People talk about boot times and that is the #1 thing I hear. I'm sorry, but like I said in the other thread that is completely irrelevant to anybody with an SSD, especially on laptops. My old setup on Windows 7 booted in 25.6 seconds with an AHCI bios screen to go through and a password. I can't even piss (take a pee if that is bleeped out) that fast or walk 18ft to my fridge to grab a soda. The difference between that and say 11 seconds is the time it takes for me to scratch my balls. So as I said, irrelevant. There is absolutely no real performance benefit to gain from 8 as of right now. Games run absolutely the same as before now with better drivers.

By public he means consumer preview. What he was saying, was people are buying 8, dropping 5 bucks on Start8, and making Windows 8 look like Windows 7. With no real benefit to using the new OS you are essentially spending 140 bucks for pretty much the same thing with a matte surface. Oh, and a few incompatibilities such as some companies haven't released proper drivers yet. My Xtreme Music wont work right on 8 and I'm sure the rest of the Creative card line doesn't have proper drivers either considering Creative's lack of giving a **** to release proper drivers the instant a new OS comes out.

[Cody_Irwin]

All I know is with everyone complaining about windows 8 which I still personally don't want to touch but atleast give it a shot makes me say screw windows period and go back to Windows XP like a Boss. Lol

Eh, I have yet to see any problems with XP on new systems. (Parts from this year) on my buddys system. It performs flawless and has up to date drivers and everything.
So No idea what you mean currently.

[Joshua_Mahr]

Anyone actually benchmarking?

[foxmobouser]

Anyone actually benchmarking?

Was going to but Norton removed the .exe right after download so kinda left it at that.

As for Win8 it's prolly the best OS for my old Core 2 Duo E8400 as the setups "perceived speed" is on par with my higher end builds. I do notice the slowdowns in some places like unpacking RAR's but overall boot up, switching between applications and media playback are quite good compared to the sluggishness I was experiencing in Win 7 and Vista.

[werty316]

Well if this software is indeed legit then it wouldn't be flagged by any virus detection tool(even if there is the possibility of a false positive) so with that I'm putting it on the back burner.

Also concerning the original download link, hotlinking is not do-able so anyone who wants to download this benchmark app should go directly to the download page: http://www.allbenchmark.com/download

I attempted to run this program last night. It said something that it wasn't supported and it gave me a bunch of warning and error popups before completely crashing and closing itself out.

After that happened, I uninstalled the program.

It's hard to read into jokes when you can't hear the tone of voice.

[PP Mguire]

I will add one thing, idk if it's my connection or not but I have to try like 3 different times to download the full program. It likes to stop and act like the download is done at 75MB.

[sushrukh]

Also the download link is not resumable.I use IDM but as it's not a resumable download , i had to try 4-5 times to get the download done coz the download was getting interrupted after a certain period of time & i had to start from the start again. :(
