Yes, this is great :) Here is new results for my system:

CPU_LOAD_BENCH.rns
Renoise 1.8: 27.8%
Renoise 1.9b2 (2 CPUs): 18.9%
Renoise 1.9b2 (1 CPU): 35.1%
Renoise 1.9b3 (2 CPUs): 13.4%
Renoise 1.9b3 (1 CPU): 24.1%

test.rns
Renoise 1.8: 22.5%
Renoise 1.9b2 (2 CPUs): 14.0%
Renoise 1.9b2 (1 CPU): 23.3%
Renoise 1.9b3 (2 CPUs): 14.0%
Renoise 1.9b3 (1 CPU): 23.3%

And my system still looks like this:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 overclocked to 3.0Ghz (FSB 1333)
AUDIO: M-audio Audiophile 2496
GFX: Nvidia 8800GTS 640MB
RAM: 4GB Corsair DDR2 800MHz
MOBO: Asus P5N32-E

1.9 beta3:
10 ms latency: 89.5% (struggling…)
30 ms latency: 82.5%

1.8 (re-tested):
10 ms latency: 82.5%
30 ms latency: 75.8%

Poor Powerpc chip…

Thanks, Jonas. Like I said in my post, I haven’t yet decided if I’ll be buying Renoise, but the more I play with it (when I can!), the more I like it. So, I may be among the registered users very soon!

CPU: Intel Pentium4 2.8Ghz/HT

CPU_LOAD_BENCH.rns

ASIO 1024 samples peak load 68.5%
ASIO 512 samples peak load 70%
ASIO 256 samples peak load 71.6%, crackles
ASIO 128 samples peak load 78.5%, crackles

test.rns

ASIO 1024 samples peak load 60%
ASIO 512 samples peak load 61%
ASIO 256 samples peak load 65.6%, crackles
ASIO 128 samples peak load[b] 67%, ridiculous amount of crackles and some very interesting “artifacts”

[/b]Considering what results you guys are getting it seems that I would very much enjoy a new computer. <_<

Guess we need a new testsong for the VSTi stuff.
Test.rns uses “Superwave P8” which crashes randomly when running on multiprocessors. Beta 4 and above will disable the multiprocessor support for this plug…

86

Beta 4 can’t play the test at 10 ms latency on my machine. It was struggling in beta 3. Seems to have gotten a bit worse?

87

Performance wise nothing should have changed in b4. The Bus Compressor is a little bit faster now, but thats it…

Whats the CPU value for 30 ms on beta 4 then?

88

I tested again today, I got the same as beta 3 now.

Yesterday, this was not the case. Yet, 1.8 run yesterday was doing fine.

I blame voodoo. :smashed:

89

And what about quad core cpu’s, like the Q6600? Does it perform better than a dual core E6600 in renoise?

90

it should.

91

CPU_LOAD_BENCH.rns on beta5

DirectSound
Sample rate 44100
Latency 5 ms

Hit: Between 14 and 14.5/100

Config: Q6600, 2G ram, motherboard integrated sound.

Not bad!!! B)

92

@kazaroval
i guess that’s @4x2.4Ghz?
could you please also post your 1 CPU performance, so that we get an idea of the speedup factor for quads?

93

Yes 4x2.4Ghz

With 1 cpu : between 31-32

2 cpu : 21

4 cpu : 14.5

94

Mine breaks down crying at the sight of these files.

95

CPU_LOAD_BENCH.rns on beta5

I tried with an higher latency

DirectSound
Sample rate 44100

Latency at 35 ms

1 cpu 31%
4 cpu 11%

Nearly X3

Config: Q6600, 2G ram, motherboard integrated sound.

96

Hi,

I wanted to see the spread between the different cores so i lauched the tasks manager and i was a little surprised, while renoise show 11% in cpu usage, the task manager show between 0 and 1% <_<

Maybe someone can explain this? :huh:

98

CPU_LOAD_BENCH.rns

Renoise 1.9b6 (4 CPU) : Peaks at 8.5%

Rock and roll.

99

@tnt97
damned quads! nice result! :)
that’s 3,2Ghz at default Vcore?
would love to know your system’s power consumption :P

100

Yes, 3.2GHz with default Vcore.

Maybe I can hit >3.5GHz with more voltage, but havent bothered trying it yet.
Satisfied with this clock speed.

Edit: This is with G0 stepping.
