" rel="nofollow - Hello everybody. I have setup a workstation based on a Taichi x399 and a TR 1950x and have been working on it without any obvious problems. Until I decided to benchmark the system that is. The score I get (on performance test 9.0) is 15742 which is too low in comparison to the average (about 21000). Any suggestions on what could be wrong? Thank you in advance. ------------- Asrock Taichi x399, Threadripper 1950X, 32Gb G.Skill flare X 3200, MSI GTX1080, CoolerMaster MasterLiquid 240,SSD Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB, SSD Crucial CT256MX100, SSD Sandisk 480GB, HDD SG Baracuda 1TB |

" rel="nofollow - Never been a fan of PassMark. IDK if this benchmark will let you see which sub-system is the contributor for the low score. Theoretically, it could be everything, incl. bad optimization of PassMark for TR. Try running separate benchmarks for the separate sub-systems, i.e. CrystalDisk for your SSD(?), 3DMark for the GPU, Blender & Cinebench for the CPU, etc. Then compare online with similar systems and see which one(s) deviate. Do let us know your results. ------------- 1700X ZP-B1 (stock); X370 Taichi (UEFI 3.10); 16GB F4-3200C14-8GFX XMP; 256GB 960 EVO; RX 580 NITRO+ 8GB |

I tested the CPU with Cinebench and the result seems to be normal in comparison (3019cb @ 3.4) so I assume that it is an issue with PerformanceTest's optimization. (phew. I almost re-installed Windows). ------------- Asrock Taichi x399, Threadripper 1950X, 32Gb G.Skill flare X 3200, MSI GTX1080, CoolerMaster MasterLiquid 240,SSD Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB, SSD Crucial CT256MX100, SSD Sandisk 480GB, HDD SG Baracuda 1TB |

PerformanceTest 9.0 gives a pretty good breakdown of the total results into different sub-categories (CPU, memory etc.) and their sub-categories (floating point operations, physics etc.). I suggest you download a baseline close to your own system specs (PerformanceTest 9.0 has a search function that you can use for this). That way you can compare the results of the different CPU tests to that baseline and see which test(s) are causing your system to lag behind in the total CPU result. ------------- Ryzen 5 1500X, ASRock AB350M Pro4, 2x8 GB G.Skill Trident Z 3466CL16, Sapphire Pulse RX Vega56 8G HBM2, Corsair RM550x, Samsung 960 EVO SSD (NVMe) 250GB, Samsung 850 EVO SSD 500 GB, Windows 10 64-bit |

If ANY test involves heavy CCX thread switching TR is dead in the water. CCX context switching is penalized heavily. Then again, you never told us even what version of Windows you're using. Yes, we can see your screenshot and assume it's Win 10, however many folks claim TR needs 1703 and above for full potential to be utilized. Worth checking if you have NUMA enabled or not, and flash the latest UEFI. ------------- 1700X ZP-B1 (stock); X370 Taichi (UEFI 3.10); 16GB F4-3200C14-8GFX XMP; 256GB 960 EVO; RX 580 NITRO+ 8GB |

" rel="nofollow - ventralstreams, that floating point result is really bad. Even my old Phenom II scored a lot better (7508 @ 3.7GHz, five run average), and so does my Ryzen 5 1500X (7992 @ 3.7GHz, five run average). In integer math you're doing less than 30% better than my Ryzen 5 1500X. Then again in SSE, encryption, sorting and compression your results are roughly 4 times better, which means these results have scaled with the amount of cores pretty well. Prime number and physics results are roughly twice what my 1500X achieves. You can actually compare those sub results to other results with the same CPU directly from that screen by choosing the icon below the globe in the upper right hand corner, but I think it's pretty clear something's not right. Those CPU results should be pretty consistent between benchmark runs. Are you running the CPU in game mode or creator mode? What about other benchmarks (in addition to Cinebench)? CPU-Z? Timespy and Firestrike CPU benchmarks? Geekbench 4.2?
That doesn't explain why OP's Threadripper seems to be performing a lot worse than other Threadrippes CPUs. ------------- Ryzen 5 1500X, ASRock AB350M Pro4, 2x8 GB G.Skill Trident Z 3466CL16, Sapphire Pulse RX Vega56 8G HBM2, Corsair RM550x, Samsung 960 EVO SSD (NVMe) 250GB, Samsung 850 EVO SSD 500 GB, Windows 10 64-bit |

Yeah. Last test was even worse. 14914 and as expected the result is in the low end of the chart. In all categories except integer and floating point math I about average. On those two categories I am dead last. On top of that I don't see any suggestions except reinstalling windows anywhere.

You don't seem to be alone, however. Hmm. I wonder what the "sub 17000 club" has in common. The memory setting (gamer or creator) is the first that comes to mind and the Taichi should for sure have the option to change it somewhere in the BIOS. If I were you, I'd first locate that setting and see if changing it has any effect. ------------- Ryzen 5 1500X, ASRock AB350M Pro4, 2x8 GB G.Skill Trident Z 3466CL16, Sapphire Pulse RX Vega56 8G HBM2, Corsair RM550x, Samsung 960 EVO SSD (NVMe) 250GB, Samsung 850 EVO SSD 500 GB, Windows 10 64-bit |

Since your problem is with FPU in PassMark (a synthetic benchmark), try running AIDA64 dedicated FPU tests and see how they compare to others'. Try YouTube for comparison runs, there are quite a few videos doing AIDA64 benches on TR 1950X.

ventralstreams, here are my AIDA64 results. One thing for sure is you need to post all your system specifications as I have. I recommend you do so in your signature so they appear on each post. I noticed that my AIDA64 is not up to date. I have updated it and will rerun (when time permits) and post if things change much. At least you can see all test results.

| I had the same issue. I found also using an older single thread app SuperPI MOD hat on 16K it went from 0.140 Sec to 0.350 Sec. It was Windows10 that did it, I went and did the system restore and got all of the performance back. |

Great to see that it worked, though! It might be worthwhile to take system image backups now and then, so you don't need to reset Windows totally if this occurs again. It might also help pinpoint which change in the system caused it to happen. ------------- Ryzen 5 1500X, ASRock AB350M Pro4, 2x8 GB G.Skill Trident Z 3466CL16, Sapphire Pulse RX Vega56 8G HBM2, Corsair RM550x, Samsung 960 EVO SSD (NVMe) 250GB, Samsung 850 EVO SSD 500 GB, Windows 10 64-bit |

Windows restore is a waste of space and time for me at least. Re-deploying from the latest .iso is a matter of 15 minutes. 15 more to plop the other software. Plus, it's always the better option. Images, videos, music, work - all on the home NAS (RAID 10 for best of both worlds). This way I can keep bare minimal working environment on all my PCs. ------------- 1700X ZP-B1 (stock); X370 Taichi (UEFI 3.10); 16GB F4-3200C14-8GFX XMP; 256GB 960 EVO; RX 580 NITRO+ 8GB |

Mine again went south. I tried restore to a point I knew was good but this did not restore the performance. I had to reset again. This time I am installing Macrium Reflect, and hopefully I can track the performance better. Edit; I should note even though task manager shows 100% usage the integer and then floating point scores are the ones reduced that give it the overall low score.

Here's mine:  Mine's been overclocked to 4.0GHz w/ 3200MHz memory. I'm not sure what it could be that saps your performance. If it's not running as a process or eating cycles, which would be visible in Task Manager, then what other effect could software be having on your CPU? Could it be that you somehow enabled Game Mode? That would halve the number of cores of your CPU and improve latency. I'd have thought you would know if you had enabled it, though. I think it has to be done via Ryzen Master. https://www.anandtech.com/show/11726/retesting-amd-ryzen-threadrippers-game-mode-halving-cores-for-more-performance" rel="nofollow - https://www.anandtech.com/show/11726/retesting-amd-ryzen-threadrippers-game-mode-halving-cores-for-more-performance |

Me, no. I have installed mostly everything with Macrium run at each step to create images, of course I tested them first. I also just went to the 1709 Accumulative Update as well. Still have a few things to install, like a PDF reader etc.. I put in Macrium free edition but I think the home paid one is better in the long run.

Since AMD supposedly is only in jeopardy if the current user is there to place it in troubles way we should be given the opportunity not to use the patch, at least that is my opinion. |
