Kevin87 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 I thought I would start a thread on this because I think it would be interesting for everyone to post their scores compared to their 10.5.8 system. Here are my results Specs MB: ABIT IP35-E CPU: Intel 2.66 Ghz Q9400 RAM: 4 Gigs 800 mhz Graphics: Nvidia 9600GS 10.5.8 (32bit) score 4860 10.6 (32bit) score 5866 I believe this is so much higher because of the graphics card. It seems that snow leopard is really using the system resources much better than leopard did. Is any one else experiencing the same kind of performance increase? This is a huge increase and you can really see the difference in my system. (I am running 32bit because I need to read and write to an NTFS file system) edit: I will post some screens when I finish running SuperDuper on my system.

MacProUser83 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 7098 pretty much the same as in 10.5.8 Cant complain. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/183667-geekbench-scores/#findComment-1248624 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin87 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Nice looks good. I am installing on a Kingston Now series SSD to see if I can get a higher number. Will post the results shortly. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/183667-geekbench-scores/#findComment-1248856 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacProUser83 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 with your hardware you should be able to go over my score easily.... i have an old q6600 with the same amount of ram and in 32bit I got 6412 check everything is working Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/183667-geekbench-scores/#findComment-1248933 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin87 Posted September 3, 2009 Author Share Posted September 3, 2009 Not sure everything seems to be working fine. The only par that I am scoring low on is memory. Here is an image of my bench. Now that I look at yours you are running 64 bit. I am on 32. I need to run it on 32 because I need to use NTFS-3G Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/183667-geekbench-scores/#findComment-1249102 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BJMoose Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Snow Leopard has been running great on my number 1 system. I'm running in 32 bit mode because the ethernet is the only thing I can't get to work at 64 bit. If I find a 64 bit kext for the ethernet, I'll repost these results.

rabblefish Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 A modest increase Unfortunately, I KP every time I boot into 64-bit mode...so I can't do that comparison...

Master Chief Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 A modest increase Unfortunately, I KP every time I boot into 64-bit mode...so I can't do that comparison... Both the CPU and bus speed differ in these test. No wonder it is just a modest increase Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/183667-geekbench-scores/#findComment-1251839 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabblefish Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 Both the CPU and bus speed differ in these test. No wonder it is just a modest increase LOL I have NO idea why these differ! Settings for both the CPU and RAM clockspeed were the same in BIOs when I ran Geekbench on each OS. I think I have to tweak my SMBIOS.plists and tune up a few things in both OSes. I've also been verrrrrrry sleep-deprived throughout the Snow installation process.

Obecny Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 My geekbench score is a bit smaller then all Yours if I compare my spec. so where could be a problem, could any of You take a look on it please?

Gidi Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 How do you guys change the Model to show as Mac Pro instead of Hackintosh?

Gidi Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 Thanks Beto2k7. That worked. I had something bad in my prev. smbios.plist By the way, now it displays as Mac Pro 2,1. What's the big difference between displaying Mac Pro 2,1 - 3,1 - 4,1? I tried to change model from 2,1 to Mac Pro 4,1 but I got a KP. Cheers!

What's the big difference between displaying Mac Pro 2,1 - 3,1 - 4,1? I tried to change model from 2,1 to Mac Pro 4,1 but I got a KP. Cheers! Basically MacPro2,1 MacPro3,1 and MacPro4,1 refer to the hardware refreshes Apple has done to the MacPro line. And u can't just change the model because the information on the smbios.plist has to match the model you want to represent I dont have the info from a real MacPro4,1 but here is for MacPro3,1 if u want MacPro3,1 <key>SMproductname</key> <string>MacPro3,1</string> <key>SMfamily</key> <string>MacPro</string> <key>SMbiosversion</key> <string>MP31.88Z.00C1.B00.080209154</string> <key>SMbiosvendor</key> <string>Apple Inc.</string> <key>SMserial</key> <string>W88261E7YP4</string> <key>SMboardproduct</key> <string>Mac-F42C89C8</string> <key>SMsystemversion</key> <string>1.0</string> Just replace those Strings and keys in smbios.plist.

M0rpheus Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 I tried to change model from 2,1 to Mac Pro 4,1 but I got a KP. That's because the latest Mac Pro's (identified by 4,1) are Core i7's and the OS tries to load AppleTYMCEDriver.kext. This kext is for Core i7's only and will panic on other CPU's. If you don't have a Core i7, just delete that kext and it will then boot fine without the kernel panic Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/183667-geekbench-scores/#findComment-1253664 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gidi Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 Thanks for explaining that M0rpheus. My current CPU is Q9550. Is there any advantage of using MacPro 4,1 identifier? If I try the MacPro 3,1 smbios that Beto2k7 posted here, Sys. Profiler shows it as a MacPro, but GeekBench shows it as Hackintosh. With MacPro 2,1 is showing it fine on GeekBench. So, for Q9550, what's the best MacPro identifier I can set on smbios? Cheers!

M0rpheus Posted September 6, 2009 Share Posted September 6, 2009 So, for Q9550, what's the best MacPro identifier I can set on smbios? I have a Q9550 myself as you can prolly see on my sig, I use the 4,1 fine with the deleted AppleTYMCEDriver.kext. I have no issues with that whatsoever so I guess I can recommend it Either way it doesn't really matter at all. There won't be any performance difference.

JFLNYC Posted September 7, 2009 Share Posted September 7, 2009 Geekbench keeps crashing on my at startup in both 32-bit and 64-bit modes on 2 different machines. Anyone got any idea what's causing that? Otherwise SL is running perfectly. First machine has EP45-UD3R mobo and the other EX58-UD3R. Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

bonfilio Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 System in sig.. (64bit kernel, 32bit GB) 10.5: 5912 10.6: 6254 (800mhz - mine) 10.6: 6954 (1333mhz - rocccky's system) Interesting to see how much of a difference ram makes.. Rocccky has exact same non-OC system w/ with faster ram.
