ragemem benchmark results thread !

Quote:

Why with SAM440, we are limited to 50 MB/Sec for WRITE ?

thanks for the Sam440 Patch for the READ speed and we have big chance Crisot made Ragemem !

The Sam440ep_setup patch released onto OS4Depot seems to have more than doubled the video bus read result on my Sam440ep-flex...

Is that somehow noticeable in your system? Can you see any speed improvements in OS use?

@trixie

So far AmiCygnix seems smoother than before, especially scrolling more complicated documents in AbiWord. Placebo effect maybe?

Ok new test after all patch applied

man I'm happy I started this thread !!! big thanks to Crisot and my buddies at ACube (ti voglio bene asai)

@328gts

John, what gfx card do you use? Because I can see you have WRITE: 63MB/sec, while mine is still the same!?!

@Phantom

I've got a Radeon 9250 with 128 Mb...did you make sure to install the first part before installing the PCI Update iso ?

@328gts

Doh... didn't notice the PCI_Update tool. I thought that it was for Sam440_Setup tool.

@Phantom

hehe it happens....now go get it & have fun

@328gts

Here is mine then:

Quote:

Perfect, but I see a slight decrease in VIDEO BUS (READ). Before with the Sam440ep_Setup tool went to 32 MB/sec and now to 29 MB/sec. Is that normal?

@Phantom

same as me but I figure its worht the 26% increase in write speeds so it's a definite improvement overall

Of my Sam440ep-flex:

@Marko

nice comparison Marko..thanks

@Akiko

Would it be possible to do a SysSpeed benchmark ?

Amiga 4000T, CSPPC@233Mhz, mediator

It would be interesting to compare MIPS results of this benchmark program and classic systems MIPS benchmarks.

Do we have the source code of SysSpeed ?

Would be nice to run on OS4 systems and create a final bridge of benchmarks from classic machines to PPC.

The holy grail of Amiga benchmarks :

@m3x

What i don't understand is:

With Sam Setup only
READ: 32 MB/Sec

After both patches (PCI and Sam Setup)
READ: 29 MB/Sec

Why we lost 3 MB/S ?

@samo79

I can't explain you why, but I can assure you this won't change anything. To be honnest, I'm not sure going from 25 MB/sec to 250 MB/sec will make a real difference.

Video memory is "never" read.

EDIT: Ho, well, on software like SREC, sure this value will make a hudge difference, since it's raw video memory reading... Appart from that...
