Received i7 m395 1TB SSD 27" today - let me know if you want any benchmarks to be ran

[twilexia]

I'm willing to run any benchmarks on the M395 card as there's not that many out there - so we can see how much difference there is between M395 and M395x. Note I also added 8GB Ram to make 16GB total 1600mhz ram.

BM speed test:

1TB SSD speed is godly.

1080p - Ultra: 45
High - 58-64 fps

Cinebench: 97fps/839 cb. fans went up to 2100 rpm at this time and temperature went to 93C highest during CPU bench

About what we expected. I have your same setup but with the m395x, cinibench has me at 105-107 fps. About a 11 percent gain for 250 bucks. Thanks for the post!

Thanks! What other benchmarks have you ran that maybe takes advantage of the 2 extra GB Vram? And I can try to run the same and see what difference we get.

Hmm. Do you have photoshop by chance? There is a thread below where we're running a guys test, you could add your results (test is up top)

I don't have photoshop, but I will install it tomorrow and definitely run the test.

No rush man. Just enjoy your new rig and get work done my friend!

Would love to see Rocket League and Cities Skylines in different resolutions and settings with their respective FPS, if you have those!

45~ FPS in WoW on 1440p High doesn't sound very promising :/ I didn't think WoW was that demanding?

If you're able to run Windows 10 in Boot Camp mode, I'd be interested in seeing screen shots of Windows System Information, CPU-Z, and Windows Device Manager. That's under the assumption that that machine is using an Intel Skylake chipset.
Particularly interested in device & driver details for the motherboard/logic board chipset, & USB 3.0;
Device Manager/System Devices screen shot.
Thanks in advance.

I would like to know what values the 395x achieved here

I'll be happy to run it but I don't have windows 10. do you know how I can get a copy of the software?

The 395x is going to perform about 10-15 percent better framerates compared to the 395. So if ultra is 45fps on the 395, it would be about 50-52 on the 395x. Not a crazy difference but it's there.

Windows 10 latest build number: 10576:
http://microsoft-news.com/download-windows-10-build-10576-iso/
If you have access to a Windows machine, you can then use Rufus
http://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/rufus.html
(+ a 4 Gb or larger USB thumb drive) to create bootable installation media, using the downloaded iso file.
Win10 can be installed without requiring a product key. After 30 days, it becomes crippled without the activation.
Alternative: boot and run Windows directly from a bootable USB 3.0 thumb drive (32 Gb or larger).
Use Aomei Partition Assistant (on a Windows machine) to create a Windows2Go bootable thumb drive:

Aomei Partition Assistant works with any USB 3.0 thumb drive, not only the expensive MS certified ones.

HotS 1440p: extreme fps: 50
ultra: 55-60
high - 65-72

(this is at fountain area)

in battle with at least 1 champion nearby

high - 68
ultra - 44
extreme - 35-40

Can you confirm this on your machine?

I'd love to do rocket league as i have the game but I don't have windows available for bootcamp

Which test? Using cinebench in osx my open gl fps is 107, in bootcamp win10 it's 136.

out of curiosity how did you get your win10 version?

What in the world is darwin? My run when I had windows 10 open had almost 70% better framerate than whatever that is, I posted it in another thread but i think it was 34 or 35 fps. Poor Darwin...
