10.6.3 Update Benchmarks.

[intrus22]

Ok so i updated to 10.6.3 and nothing fancy...

I did a couple of benchmarks with Geekbench 64bit, Cinebench and loaded up OpenGL Extension Viewer, what i got was basically same as before. Cinebench OpenGL Test hit 26.20 FPS; 1 Frame higher than my previous test on 10.6.2.

The CPU gave me the same score as before, 3.65pts.

My eVGA 9800GT has support for OpenGL 3.1 and in 10.6.3 the support for OpenGL 3.0 went up form 61% to 91% which is not exactly what i was expecting.

3.1 and 3.2 are still out of the picture with only 12% support for 3.1 and 33% for 3.2...

One thing i noticed while doing the CineBench OpenGL Test, The orange selection which is my latest test has NVIDIA 1.6.10.

Take a look at the screenshots:

Nothing changed for me

Geekbench: 7450
Cinebench: 23.80 fps

Hey rushko,

Why not overclock your i5 a bit, you seem to be using a pretty nice cooler, u will hit high 8000's if u overclock to 3.2 like i did.

I;m on a stock cooler and my temps dont go over 44c on idle! when load i get up to 70c - heavy load...

I ordered an "ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2" - can't wait to get it

Kept it at 3.6GHz and tried at 4GHz but I am using speedstep DSDT over a month, now I can't find the one w/o speedstep n don't have much time to edit it myself. Will ask Tony to post one w/o speedstep.

Good luck overclockin with ur new cooler

To be honest, i don't know how to really check speedstep.. I downloaded MSR tools and it just shows 1 core and it shows speedstep off and cpu doesn't go down at all..... almost constant speed. i went up when i had turbo mode enable but i don't anymore..
