Asus Real Bench

Hey everyone, I'm new here. I had a question about RealBench 2.56.

I get a very very poor score on Image Editing. Like 24,000 kind of poor!! I notice that after I press start it takes about 2-3 minutes for images to appear on the screen and once they do, the editing goes by very fast. My score is reported low and shows that it took around 3 minutes to complete. Most of that time I feel nothing was happening.

I have tried with my 8700K OC to 5GHz and with it left absolutely stock. Same poor editing result. For comparison, at 5GHz I get 1671 in CineBench.

Any help would be appreciated.

welcome to the forums. First thing I would try is a fresh install of RealBench.

Thanks for the advice, but I've never had to install it. I just unzip and then run the executable. I guess I could try deleting the directory, downloading a fresh 2.56 zip, extracting and running again.

Just before you replied I downloaded RealBench 2.43 and I score 224,000 on Image Editing and it only takes 22.7 seconds. Images appear right away and editing begins. I'll report back after I get a fresh download of 2.56 and see if I can improve that 24,000 score... LOL.

Let me know if I'm missing something with regards to actually installing this program.

Sometimes deleting it and downloading again fixes issues. If not, I would post ScreenShots of your BIOS, OC and Ram settings. You are correct, it doesn't need installed

You are correct. Thank you very much Dude. Deleted, downloaded fresh copy, unpacked, ran executable, profit!

I wanted to follow up on the low RealBench 2.56 scores I was seeing. I thought that downloading a fresh copy had fixed the problem, but after further tests it seems the problem was still present. Another thing I noticed was that extracting the RewalBench 2.56 ZIP file was painfully slow.

Because of the low scores and really slow zip extraction I decided to run my system at stock BIOS settings. Same problems with low scores and slow zip extraction.

Next I wanted to see if I had bad RAM so I ran a few testing applications with zero errors reported. At this point I was more concerned with addressing the slow unzip than the low RealBench scores, so I scoured the forums. I came across a post that mentioned how terrible WIndows Defender is with Real Time Protection enabled. I disabled Real Time Protection, Cloud-delivered Protection and Automatic Sample Submission. I promptly deleted my RealBench 2.56 directory and extracted from the Zip once again, and it was probably about 5 times faster!

So I figured I'd run RealBench again with the mentioned Windows Defender settings disabled. Score are right around where they should be for my hardware and OC settings! I ran multiple times and haven't experienced a recurrence of the low scores.

I understand how Real Time Protection can affect the Zip extraction speed, but if/how it affects RealBench is not known to me. I had noticed that with default Windows Defender settings, only after extraction of the Zip would I get a good score. After doing other things or PC restarts and going back to RealBench the scores would be exaggeratedly low again. I wonder, if after the Zip extraction, Windows Defender Real Time Protection is satisfied that all files are safe for some period of time, or as long as they remain in RAM? After some time Windows Defender wants to scan the files again during my RealBench test?
