Hardware Optimisation & Benchmarking Shenanigans

Hello Ivan,

I rebuilt my PC with the new motherboard, CPU and system memory, happy to see everything power up and launch, Windows 10 license now transfers automatically. I ran benchmark.bat and was happy to see the improvements. Here’s a link to the results comparison using your formatting and adding a couple of useful formulas comparing the data.

One thing I missed the first go round but staring me right in the face was the first report on memory, only showing 8 GB. I tend to trust this, but am troubled by that fact, would be a major pain to rip the motherboard out and replace with the old one just to confirm the bad DIMM (before selling on ebay especially). I’m also puzzled how I could have functioned at all with just 8 GB RAM, as in Unreal I was loading 41 million polys into a scene, just so, but maintaining 70-90 fps. I realize that’s mainly hitting GPU memory, but especially while building the project the load on memory is significant. Can’t explain to myself how this ever worked with a bad DIMM. 

Anyway, I’ve yet to turn on overclocking, will run again and update the spreadsheet.

I agree, logging any drive not accessed by RC is wasted pixels. Final question, I see PeakUsage changed from 1202 to 1. What function is meant by PeakUsage?

Thanks for your efforts, very happy to see what time it is on my machine.
