Post your System Stats


Recommended Posts

how to do this?

Go here http://novabench.com/ and download it. You'll notice in this tutorial my score is less than the one in my sig. If you want accurate results, close out of all programs---even the ones in your system tray. Especially AV, Steam, Origin, everything.

Run the test and click "compare these results online" This will take you back to their website. Create an account with them (don't worry they don't spam or sell your info)

then click "Add benchmark to profile"

You'll then see a screen like below. Right click it and save it like you normally save picture.

Come back here to Neowin in this thread and click "More Reply Options"

Then click "Choose files"

A box will appear. Navigate to the sig image you just downloaded select it, and click open. The editor will then upload it.

When it's done, Click "Add to Post". and then "Add Reply". This just uploaded it to Neowin's servers. We now have to change your sig.

On the home page, hover over your avatar and click "Settings".

Then click "Signature".

Then click "My Media"

post-447111-0-00394200-1352044382.jpg

Select "Attachments" and click the file you want to use -- it's whatever you named your sig. Then click finished.

Click save changes. The page will reload and your preview should look like mine. If it doesn't look over my post and make sure you did everything right. Don't edit or delete the post you made in Haggis's thread. It will delete the image and make your sig disappear.

LOL! I'm board! :D Enjoy and I hope this helps! :)

Well, my girlfriend did some hardcore damage to my Arch install by accident. I could have fixed it, but I thought it would be a good opportunity to try out Ubuntu 12.10 and see what everybody is complaining about. It isn't horrible, honestly. It is Ubuntu. I hate Unity, personally. However, I understand the appeal to casual users. So these are my system stats, but later today or tomorrow I will go back to Arch, either with XFCE again or Openbox. Then I shall post again with proper RAM usage, not this bloat.

    • I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.
    • It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
    • Why should simply opening the Action Center ... require any significant amount of CPU cycles? Too many are ignoring the elephant in the room: today's CPUs may have similar clock frequencies to CPUs from a decade ago (~4 to 5 GHz), but they run with far higher performance per clock, even on the smallest E-cores. The Action Center is a static, minor desktop element. It ought to open instantly on any CPU made in the past 2.5 decades at even low clocks. Opening a program? Boost away. Unzipping a file? Boost to your heart's content. Right-clicking the notification area? This should be an ultra-efficient, low-impact event that opens instantly. Compare today's UI elements to Windows 7 UI elements. Today's UI elements hardly do anything more substantial or important or critical, yet now require modern-day processors to jump half a GHz to reduce their latency.
    • This is not an option lmao: it is part of the KB5094126 update, pushed to all users. There is no GUI to configure it. Reading the article should be required for commenting.
