My new HP desktop is Da Real MVP
-
Now that they appear to have the hot bag problem solved for the Surface Book, I wonder how it compares? On price, it's a starting point match - though for that price I think you get more RAM, but it's detachable.. which frankly was really kinda stupid on MS's part. As an Ultra book, it's the whole thing light enough to not need to detach the screen if you want to show it around?
-
3 GB for benchmark software? Ouch.
-
@Breffni-Potter It has a tonnnn of different benchmarks in the suite, make sure you do the same one ( upper left of the pic ) if you're going to compare.
-
I should mention, they sold me a computer that was built for warranty-compatible overclocking and that had a water cooler pre-installed. Which let me get the 5820K to a stable 4.5 ghz w/ a few clicks. That combined w/ the 980TI are what make her such a shocking value ( IMH admittedly noob-to-OC O ).
-
I should mention the tests are at phase-3
I'm curious to see how it compares.
-
@Breffni-Potter
Me too! What hardware are you on?
-
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?
