RE: WF2 Benchmark
I have always preferred Olaf's benchmark at www.proesite.com. It is a smaller download because most of the files are created by the benchmark. It has recently gained support from the computer OEMs who have been posting their scores.
No matter which benchmark you use it is amazing to look at the changes over the years.
Here is the slowest score posted for the wildfire benchmark from Olaf
15003 seconds to complete with a SGI PTC-CertifiedConfiguration 540 2x Intel Pentium III Xeon processor 2x 500 COBALT GRAPHICS CHIPSET Wildfire
Here is the fastest score for a PTC certified system.
584 seconds complete with a Sun Microsystems PTC-CertifiedConfiguration Sun Ultra 40 (TM) Workstation Opteron 254 2800 nVidia Quadro FX 3450 Wildfire 2.0
That is 25x improvement! When you are doing cad you really can justify upgrading machines.
RE: WF2 Benchmark
I looked in the results folder, and there seemed to be some information about my machine, but I don't think the program ran properly.
What am I not doing correctly?

RE: WF2 Benchmark
The instructions in the readme do suck. The ones in the batch files are better.
I ran it last night and got a 1.73 with an Athalon 64 3500, 2 gigs of ram and a quadroFX 1100 but I have not idea if that is a good score until some results are posted somewhere.
RE: WF2 Benchmark
I like Olaf's benchmarks as well. They seem to run smoother and don't make IT managers angry when you download them...
There aren't results up there since they have just released the benchmark. In time, some results should trickle in... At one of my summer jobs in college we had to do benchmarking for Pro/E magazine. It was good times, since all the big manufacturers were sending us their top-end machines to test, It was too bad that we had to send them back, but I still got to spend the summer using Pro/E on a machine that Dell had optimized just for it (lol, i still made it crash)...
