Thanks Scott,

Have already downloaded it and will lower myself into depression by running it later. [smile]

[cheers]
 
I ran this thing this morning. I have no idea how this compares, but here goes. If this is not an appropriate post for this forum, I will remove it.

I'm curious, but I don't think I could convince IT to download the benchmark and roll back Solidworks to 0.0.
 
You don't have to rollback to SP0. That was just a suggestion to keep the scoring more consistent.

One of the main ideas of the benchmark is for testing new systems prior to purchasing.

[cheers]
 
I just tested mine:
Reference: thread559-185704:

2.4 Ghz P4 - single CPU
3 Gigs Ram
Quadro FX 1100 - 91.36 drivers
Western Digital IDE 140 GB
External HDD - Fantom Drive 120 GB
DVD burner
CD-ROM

OS : Microsoft Windows XP Professional
OS SP : Service Pack 2
CPU : Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.40GHz
# of CPU : 2 (hyperthreading is seen as 2 CPU's - it's disabled)

Test Averages for 5 tests(s).
Test Total = 294.78
Graphics = 13.3
CPU = 135.54
I/O = 145.94

See in the Text file it prints out:

**** Overall Test Results ****
Note: All results are in seconds.
Lower scores are better.​

Test Averages for 5 tests(s).
Test Total = 293.24
Graphics = 113.82
CPU = 81.12
I/O = 98.3

So whats a good score? I know the lower the better but, what does the average CAD workstation score (and what does an average CAD station consist of) and or high end score?

grunt58 ... we won't really know that till more people post here. The benchmark is too new to have much/any data available.

I do not have the print out, but my Hypersonic Laptop did a little better and cost about half of what this desktop did. It has an Athlon 64 FX -60 processor & Nvidia Quadro FX GO 1400. (FYI - Desktop was around $5,000 3 yr.s ago)
After looking at Scott's numbers I think I need to update my graphics card driver (Currently 77.56).

I'm trying to push for new machines. Do the dual cores help much in SW, does it utilze the other core? i know SW never took adavntage of hyperthreading.

Nor do they take advantage of Dual cores, but that needs to be asked in a new thread.

I guess my graphics is really low! I have not seen anyones quite that fast yet... I thought it was mistyped when I copied it, but its not... go figure!
