BANANA Benchmark Results Comparison

Looks like quite a discrepancy between our test. Do you think you processor was thermal throttling?

Test ran with a 4790k & 16GB 1600MHz.

 

Not a chance. More likely I have more background services running than you do. My CPU is liquid cooled.

 

Haha that was going to be my second guess! I do put a good effort into reducing background processes and overhead as much as possible... For better or worse.

Heres another test with a Celeron J3455 and 4GB 1333MHz Ram

 

327.207 at 4.7Ghz

 

did u steal a pc from NASA

 

there is no banana bench in my beamng drive files.... how do i get it?

 

i7 4790k is worse than i5 8600k ._.
i7 4790k --> 350€
i5 8600k --> 250€

 

The 4790k is from Q2'14
The 8600k is from Q4'17

That means that the 8600k is a bit over 3 years newer. So, logically this sort of thing would happen, especially after AMD released Ryzen.

 

Unfortunatly I have lga 1150 motherboard I can't buy anything better than I7 4790k :/

 

That's when you replace the motherboard. I upgraded from a Core i7 920 to a 4790k in 2014. The Core i7 920 I got in 2009. Ryzen 7 2700X is the best value CPU on the market right now IMO, and I'm going to probably use that as my next CPU.

 

Same here should have waited for the amds to come out as they are alot faster and more powerful than my i5 6600k for nearly the same money

 

find beamng in your steam library, right click, go to properties, local files tab, browse local files, go to the "Bin64" folder, and in there should be a file named "banana-bench.x64.bat" possibly without the .bat at the end depending on whether or not you have windows set to show file extensions or not

Not too bad imo...

Haven't post on here in a while. Seen this thread about bananas, had to pop in haha.

 

That's.... not really that much better than my old Xeon.... Am I doing something wrong?

 

W3690 Xeon @ 4.2GHz classic apple mac pro 4,1..

7 year old CPU still got it

 

New score after more tweaking W3690

 

How come your 4Ghz K variant is slower than my non K variant at 3.4Ghz when number of vehicles increases? Also your overall result is less than mine? With 600Mhz more and CPU identical otherwise there should be improvement in score, yet yours shows 6700K is slower than non K, kinda odd?

--- Post updated ---

Yes, but difference is not huge, with 8700k difference is then bigger, however what 4790k excels at is single core performance and that is what BeamNG needs as much as possible to keep GPU fed.

Bus at WCUSA, graphics high and dynamic reflections at low is good test if SC performance is enough or not.

One needs 1 car banana bench result over 40 to keep GPU fed on that test, my CPU is right at borderline, not quite enough fast with score of 40Mbeams with single car, so something like 42 might already be enough.

Still even overclocked 8700K can barely break 50Mbeams, while 4790K should be able to get 42 or maybe even more with good overclock, so despite 4790k is old, it does not mean much unless one wants to run 10 cars.

This era new can mean slower, 4th gen i7 is not much slower than 7th gen, 8th gen is marginally faster on single core, so there really is not much point upgrading 4790k unless one wants to run more vehicles and 8th gen i5 would not be much point in that case.

Of course 4790k might be bit of an exception of how good it is for it's age, but if planning on upgrading from 4790K, it is easy to get bit false impression of performance gains if forgetting to look that impressive single core performance.
