Geekbench Scores Vary Depending on Install Method Used

Recommended Posts

Can somebody else confirm this. I've installed 10.6.3 using 2 different methods: one with Kakewalk 2.2 and the other with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] + [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]. I ran Geekbench (32-bit) on both installs and got very different results:

 

Kakewalk: 4805

[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] + [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]: 8324

 

My system is:

GA-X58A-UD3R

Core i7 930 (stock speed)

Nvidia 9800GT 1GB

Corsair 6GB RAM

 

Has anybody else Geekbenched their system after these different install methods?

 

Thank you for your time.

Their both just automated methods of doing things you can do manually; depending on your hardware I'd say it could go either way. Set everything up specifically for your system by hand and I'd bet your scores would improve even more.

I ran a geekbench 32bit test on my setup,

installed using kakewalk,

 

gigabyte ex58 ud5

6gb ram

core i7-920

ati 4870 1gb

 

my geekbench score was 4910

 

 

which i thought was way too low, i saw your posting and will be reinstalling using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]+[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and will post my results. Also i've seen people post saying that 64bit software doesn't run using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url]+[url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], any one else have a conflict with that??

update!!

 

so i reformatted and installed using [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url], and not kakewalk, i didn't use [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] yet, so my system wasn't 100% functional, but i ran the test again and my score was 8570 and that was with only 4gb ram.

 

So gatchamans assumptions are right. Kakewalk is crippling the system some how. Glad someone figured this out, i would've hated having to reload everything. Hope this helps others!

I did some testing between nawcom, [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and Kakewalk and I get roughly the same geekbench results.

 

might be with the i5 and i7 cpu's

 

my system OC to 3Ghz got 6550 on geekbench

Maybe it has something to do with the way it boots into the osx?? The [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] install was a vanilla install didn't install [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] yet, so go figure. Not sure what to make of it? but for now will stick with [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url] and [url="http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/279450-why-insanelymac-does-not-support-tonymacx86/"]#####[/url].
