My new HP desktop is Da Real MVP
-
Mine is an I7-4000 series. Nvidia GPU again.
16GB of Ram with SSD. Well a few SSDs.
-
The results are in.

@Breffni-Potter
So the HP is about 36% faster. Not too shabbo. This makes me want to compare our scores on the "Work" benchmark to see if that narrows the gap a bit.
-
Running now
-
@Breffni-Potter Are you using the same box you're running the benchmarks on? If so that may be lowering your score.
-
No not at all I have many devices.
-
@Breffni-Potter Ah ok. I only have a latest greatest MacBook Pro lying around at the moment so I can't run the benchmark until tonight because obviously one cannot get work done on a mac.
-
One can get work done.
If one installs Windows
-
-
@Breffni-Potter Hahahahah so true. I actually have 10 going on Boot Camp but none of my files and IIS definitions and etc. So so true.
-
@Breffni-Potter Now I know everything about your computer. Including that you have not OC'd it.
-
@Breffni-Potter Are you using rapid mode w/ that Samsung SSD? If not you may up your scores quite a bit w/ it on.
-
I prefer that if the power dies I don't risk losing data that's the danger of rapid mode.
-
@Breffni-Potter What data do you think you'd lose? The last 3 seconds of work?

Wuss. Where is your sense of adventure?
-
I'll run 2 SSDs in raid-0 then.
-
@Breffni-Potter Still won't compete sadly. I'm getting over 5GB/s read/write on mine, and it's only a 256GB.
-
That rapid mode sounds like bobbins.
How can it give you 5GB performance with no risk?... What is it actually doing.
-
@Breffni-Potter It's just using system RAM as a buffer and writing ( and then intelligently reading until the buffer is purged ) everything from it, like a middleman between Windows and the actual SSD.
-
Right, so in my case if I go hungry on VMs and eat more RAM. It won't work as well?
