Very poor performance on the cinebench test.
Very poor performance on the cinebench test.
I just completed a PC build featuring a 12600k processor, an ASRock B760 Pro DDR5 motherboard, 5600MHz C40 RAM, and a GTX 1650 graphics card. My Cinebench score is 972, which is surprisingly low for such a powerful setup. Could you help explain why? There are two 8-pin connectors for the CPU, but the power supply only has one 8-pin, and even with just one, it seems off. Additionally, the CPU temperatures peak at around 70°C during a Cinebench test.
Which Cinebench version are you using? Have you checked your CPU's power consumption and clock speeds while it was running? That seems like a good starting point. The dual CPU connectors are typically reserved for serious overclocking, so it doesn’t appear to be the main concern.
Cinebench release 2024.1.0 is ready. I'll share a photo of the open hardware monitor during the test.
This appears to be an updated version with adjusted scoring. I wasn’t aware of the changes, and it seems the scores changed between systems. On your 12900k PC you’re getting about 22k, whereas a year ago it looked different.
There are several versions of Cinebench, each using distinct scoring methods. For example, a 13900K typically scores around 40k in R23, but on a 2024 chip that drops to about 2200 points. Cinebench R23 likely matches what you ran before on your 12900K (the 22k result might be underestimated for that processor). The variation also comes from differences in the rendered image, which explains the different scoring versions.
Absolutely, various iterations will naturally vary... everything looks resolved, case settled? Phew!
