Release Pandora Crude Bench - Benchmark your Pandora

[Franko]

Your PCB Score is 1966 (15 / 74 / 62 ), with a cpuspeed=1000 MHz and sysspeed=400 MHz

Your PCB Score is 2123 (18 / 74 / 66 ), with a cpuspeed=1200 MHz and sysspeed=400 MHz

Your PCB Score is 2154 (18 / 74 / 66 ), with a cpuspeed=1250 MHz and sysspeed=400 MHz

Your PCB Score is 2286 (18 / 81 / 71 ), with a cpuspeed=1250 MHz and sysspeed=440 MHz

Your PCB Score is 2242 (18 / 81 / 67 ), with a cpuspeed=1250 MHz and sysspeed=460 MHz

Using fresh boots and minimenu.

Seems like my pandora doesn't like the too high sysspeed!

I noticed glitches in the irrlicht demo at sysspeed=460 MHz, and some specularity ones like said before appears randomly from test to test.

Seems like the cpuspeed affects test 1 and 3, and sysspeed test 2 and 3 mainly, as expected.

Nice app!

Interesting.  You seem to have found your "sweet-spot" with that one:  "Your PCB Score is 2286 (18 / 81 / 71 ), with a cpuspeed=1250 MHz and sysspeed=440 MHz"  I'll have to try that.  Okay, a dumb question...HOW do I try that?  I've gone to the pandora/start-menu, then "settings", then "cpu-settings".  Have tried various things like set to max allowed MHz and max allowed opp level.  No noticeable affect and when I go into _wb_'s sys info program, it confirms that I'm still on 1.2GHz and OPP4.  I'm guessing that "allowed" is the operative word here.  

I guess that I'll look around for an answer now, but if anyone stumbles upon this thread - I'd be grateful for any advice.  Thanks in advance!----->

Edit1:  I found this thread (http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php/topic/12478-overclocking-gpuram-lets-get-the-facts/page-3?), apparently _wb_ added the ability within sys info, but the memory speed wont advance above 180MHz within the program (I can decrease the speed).  Going to try to alter the config file...

 

[kirkanoss]

did you try holding r-trigger +fn > to go higher?

 

[Franko]

did you try holding r-trigger +fn > to go higher?

Yes I did...and I'm just back from testing again.


PCB score is 2246 (18 / 81 / 70) with a cpuspeed=1200 MHz and sysspeed=440 MHz.


I had to dig into the config file and read that thread and test a few things - rebooted when it got to unstable, but this setting is good.

Edit1:  The buttons wouldn't let me go higher within _wb_'s program (higher than 200 bus speed anyway)...I changed it in the .cfg file according to the thread.  Seems stable and the second test brings back a 2247 score.  


Edit2: (18 / 81 / 71) is the exact same numbers that Family Guy had.  I'm sure that I could replicate his score at 1250MHz, but I'll stop for now.  It's good enough to know that I've learned even more about my Pandora.  Cool deal.

 

[FamilyGuy]

Nice Franko!

Yeah you gotta edit the sys info settings to unlock sysspeed over 400 MHz.

(Forthose who might wonder sysspeed is twice the ram speed shown in sys info. Also 1GHz models can't be set to OPP5, for some reason it was dropped from the SOC [or they dropped OPP1 and renamed the other ones accordingly, but that's too much nested parenthesis].)

Although to go over your cpu overclocking limit, you simply need to enter your password.

I just realized reading ptitSeb posts that booting into fxce then switching to minimenu might be sub-optimal, so to optimize the score it might be a good idea to boot directly into minimenu. I might try it in the next days, but I already procrastinated too much with that app for now!

 

[ptitSeb]

If some has the patience also, I am very interested in result with standard clock speed, all model, but testing with all the drivers Notaz posted in the beta SGX Driver PND !

Thanks for all thoses tests

 

[leathco]

My cc at 800mhz scored 1277

 

[Asiyura]

GHz Pandora at stock speed (1000MHz/400MHz)

Got 1933 on XFCE with wifi and 1962 on MiniMenu both on fresh boots.

(got 1922 on a week-long boot )

EDIT: OpenBox and fresh boot without wifi applet : 1961 with wifi applet : 1955

Hi Kodeln, have you noticed that you get higher scores under the mini-menu as opposed to XFCE?  I sort of thought that it might be the other way around, but now I'm curious again...

 

[ingoreis]

Hey very interesting here.

I have Score: 2324 with 1230 MHZ and Sysspeed 464 from Mini Menu with default

fresh flashed System.

I install the other Drivers now for testing ^_^

4.08.00.02 is little slower same testing and Grafical Errors

(the Persons who run in Demo are here without Textures and white )

Score= 2223

4.08.00.01 Score 2247,same testing and runned 2 Times

Same grafical Errors

4.06.00.03

Score = 2254 no grafical Errors,same Testing,runned 3 Times to test

4.06.00.02

Score = 2251 no grafical Errors,same Testing,runned 3 Times to test

4.06.00.01

Score = 2249 no grafical Errors,same Testing,runned 3 Times to test

4.05.00.03

Score = 2251 no grafical Errors,same Testing,runned 2 Times to test

4.05.00.02

Score = 2257 no grafical Errors,same Testing,runned 2 Times to test

4.05.00.01

Score = 2256 no grafical Errors,same Testing,runned 2 Times to test

4.03.00.02

Score = 2254 no grafical Errors,same Testing,runned 2 Times to test

3.01.00.06

Score = no,benchmark work not correctly and crash

3.01.00.07

Score = no,benchmark work not correctly and crash

4.00.00.01(default driver again)

Score = 2339 and Second Test 2343

 Wow,but little very very little grafical glitches

4.04.00.3

Score = 2254 and no grafical Error.

Enough testing,i try with standart Driver how much i can get overclocked and write the result here.

But maybe important,some Drivers did not display the Second Test from this Benchmark.

I rekognized it at the last Tests.

Yep, Minimenu seems to be less resources hungry than XFCE. It's not really surprising since nothing non essential is launched at boot.

 

[Franko]

Okay....I'll test this tonight (after work)...and I'll try a little bit more overclocking...but I doubt that I'll see anything like Ingories' (record?) of 2343.  That's going to be tough to beat.

 

[ptitSeb]

About the 2nd test not allways working, it's my fault... I let the initialisation of EGL use XWindows, where I should have forced the EGL use FB, as Notas hinted in the Beta Driver thread... I'll update the bench this week maybe... That may give a bit higher bench results...

Ah,i recognized it very late.

The best what i can with exzessive testing get is 2356 Points

here the Prove:

https://www.youtube.com/embed/qEaC4Iw0iZg?feature=oembed

When i choose more MHZ is the Calculating from the Processor so

unstable and make so Errors that the Result is slower

With this Settings:

Default Driver

1241MHZ

467 Sysspeed

Zram Off (i tested many with Zram off)

and run from Mini Menu

With all that i can disabled:

Disabled wifi,bluetooth,usb network on boot disabled,USB Hist disabled

Full Energy Cell

the lowest Display light setting

connected Powerplug and connected USB OTG Cable

and only one faaaast SD Card

Have you more optimation Tips or Ideas?

I can Try them then

EDIT: oops i saw that the Bench not reach the End,shame on me

must try more :lol:

 

[Askarus]

^

2356?

So that's why all those games run so wonderful for you everyone else calls unplayable .

 

[ptitSeb]

Maldelbrot part is black, I guess that the TVOut not working ?

That's a nice score anyway !!!

 

[ingoreis]

THX

I think the Mandelbrot Bench dont use Main Layer in TV OUT.

Shurly use it the HW Layer.

Have anyone Tips to speed up the Pandora OS or Mini Menue by other Way?

Maybe with this Benchmark can we find a few Optimations

 

[Asiyura]

Looks like OpenBox is quite nice and lightweight 

Just tried a few runs with and without the wifi applet launched, and it's pretty much the same as mini menu without wifi.

With the wifi applet running, I get mixed results: 1936 (14/74/62), 1935 (15/74/59), 1967 (15/74/62), 1965 (15/74/62)

I'm still using stock drivers, not the Beta ones.

 

[_wb_]

Some results for my unit (ReBirth unit) below. I ran the benchmark a couple of times for each setting, to make sure the result stays the same. I used OpenBox unless mentioned otherwise.

Stock setting (600MHz cpu, 332MHz sys)

1134-1135 (8/41/36)

Overclocked sys (600MHz cpu, 360MHz sys)

1189 (8/44/38)

Overclocked cpu (980MHz cpu, 332MHz sys)

1423-1424 (14/41/42)

Overclocked both (980MHz cpu, 360MHz sys) -> this is my default setting

1487 (14/44/45) on OpenBox

1490-1491 (14/44/45) on MiniMenu

1486 (14/44/45) on XFCE

1486 (14/44/45) on IceWM

Risky overclock (1020MHz cpu, 362MHz sys) -> this is pushing things, cpu stress test finds errors above 999MHz on my unit

1521-1522 (15/44/46)

By the way, if you want to get accurate results (with any benchmark), you should try to have as little running in the background as possible, since multitasking means other processes will take away cpu cycles from the benchmark. So switch off wifi, quit sysinfo and all other stuff you may have running in the background. The window manager itself should not change much (it should be nearly perfectly idle), but taskbar applets etc. running in the background (like the battery monitor or network manager) can make a small difference. IIRC, MiniMenu quits itself before it launches anything, so there should be very little left running in the background.

 

[PokeParadox]

Well the crude benchmark seems to be doing the job nicely - currently unable to check it out personally as I'm currently without Pandora/saving up for 1GHz...

 

[TrashyMG]

My results on my 1Ghz.. will do my CC and rebirth later. I pushed both what I felt was the highest stable CPU speed and sysspeed settings on my unit. outside of disabling wifi and such I was running a typical bootup.

2035 (16 / 74 / 63 ), with a cpuspeed=1100 MHz and sysspeed=400 MHz

2211 (18 / 74 / 72 ), with a cpuspeed=1245 MHz and sysspeed=400 MHz

2263 (16 / 88 / 72 ), with a cpuspeed=1100 MHz and sysspeed=475 MHz

2376 (18 / 88 / 74 ), with a cpuspeed=1245 MHz and sysspeed=475 MHz
