Has anoyone ran GFXBench2D lately?

It freezes instantly (with nothing on serial) when the program is done (the results uploaded and saved to disk) and wants to show the results online.

I got the message "Opening results..." once when it froze, but not a second time.
There is froze after showing the message that it has saved the results to disk.

Seems to be something broken when it ought to start the browser?
But it may as well be something on my system, so before i bother Hans, i'd like to get a confirmation...or not.

Thanks

@Raziel

Maybe your URL prefs are messed up? You'll find it in SYS:Prefs. GfxBench2D uses the OS' standard method of opening URLs.

Could very well be it, as i'm using a script to relay URLs and open the browser.

Reason for that is that double or triple quotes could have been read in

Just can't stay away

@Raziel

I use this rexx script in URL Prefs (not sure if it fails when URL have/uses quotes):
if show('PORTS','ODYSSEY.1') then do
address ODYSSEY.1
OPEN NAME url NEWPAGE
end
else do
address command 'APPDIR:Odyssey' url
end

URL Prefs:
ClientName="OWB" ClientPath="REXX:odyssey.rexx" CMDFORMAT="*"http://%s*""

@jabirulo

You got an easier method, but i remember having such a short script in place and sometimes failing because of Odyssey wasn't up and running or simply opening a blank page.

The freeze might be due to my FOREVER loop, have to check when i got some more time

For some strange reason it works now...well, not exactly strange, i switched from a 8139 PCI to 8169 PCIe network card and now everything works WITH my script in place and without any freezes.

That's rather strange. So you were experiencing some mysterious driver/hardware issue...

It does seem so.

I did some more testing with the new hardware and i found even more good stuff.

I can access my NAS again in full speed (access speed went down to a crawl with the PCI hw after the router, where the NAS is connected to, got a new firmware update) - fixed now and the access speed is measurable faster too.

Overall web access seems to be faster as well, so it was a good thing trashing the PCI network card.

edit: i read about PCIe network cards reducing cpu load on net access, but i cannot confirm that. Maybe in the background or invisible within the driver, but not measurable with i.e. cpu load docky.

Not too shy to talk

@Raziel

Could you please post the model number of the card you are using? I am hoping to replace my RTL8169 PCI with PCIe.

Thanks!
