Also it affects if one runs benchmark from ingame or from folder, amount of other software (like steam, browser etc) can also affect, sometimes surprisingly a lot to result. Ram speed certainly has an effect too, can't remember where I did read about it, but more intense CPU usage was, more benefit was seen from fast ram, which I guess is quite logical too if you think about it. I would love to test at different ram speeds, but I can have only 2666Mhz, anything lower and computer won't boot, I can overclock it to close to 2800Mhz, but only with old bios that has other issues, so in practice I can't test effects of different ram speed, however I would use Bananabench to test it if I could.
There should be a line in the LUA that sounds something like this: "... OR maxVehicles OR 20", here you change 20 to 48, the max thats possible.
Pretty shitty result, but bananabench has always been very inconsistent for me, varying up to 20-25% between runs. If RAM speed matters that's probably the culprit of my low score, I'm running at 1230MHz CL8 right now because of channel dropping.
i7 "2600k" @ 4.84ghz 16gb 1333mhz 9-9-9-25 --- Post updated --- Your system must have something wrong, my bench was just 7,5% slower than yours, and I'm using almost the same clock as you are, but my CPU is 4 generations older than yours and I have much slower RAM
What do you get when you set the max cars to 48? I think that the engine is a bottleneck until 30+ cars at such high overclocks.
Intel generations are not very huge leaps, your results are almost exactly same as mine and I have i7-6700 without K at stock clocks. Of course with higher clocks 6700K should get higher score, but who knows what background processes there is running that eat a little CPU time. 3.7Ghz to 4.8Ghz should give roughly ~1/3 higher scores, if OS, software running, rest of the stuff is equal. If CPU is thermal throttling, or some other limit happening due to overclock, then that quickly eats performance. Worth to test slower overclock, it might be faster in some cases, if not, then checking software side.
My 6700k at 4.8ghz definitely doesn't thermal throttle, stays in low 50s under full load. I might rerun the benchmark again tomorrow, but like I said, I think that the engine is a bottleneck until 30+ cars at such high overclocks. I got a max of 200+ with the max at 48 cars. --- Post updated --- What score are you getting?
Here: https://www.beamng.com/threads/banana-benchmark-results-comparison.8595/page-35#post-579420 It should give you close to that 200 with 8 cars I think, check https://www.beamng.com/threads/developer-section-response-thread.24826/page-40#post-577473 That is same CPU as you have @ 5Ghz
Never run bananabench on this system, this is the i5 3570k/8GB RAM build from my sig, I might give the laptop a go later too. No overclock btw.
budget laptop i use for pretty much everything. im surprised even with this i get 30+ fps on simpler maps. Hats off to the devs, as even this little machine has doubled in fps since 0.7
Heres the one from my laptop its a HP Elitebook 8570p with base clock of 2.60 GHz an 16gb of ram and the processor is a i5 3320m And im surprised that it manages 5 cars in real time usually it struggeld with 2
Retard alert.......is running the batch file the only way to run this? It's been forever. I loved the old Bananabench app.
