2.8C@3262mhz vs 2.4B video encoding

[eva2000]

Been playing with my 2.8C cpu @3262mhz with pc3700 gold ram at default 233mhz 2-3-3-7 at 2.75v and HT and speed really helps speed things up

Test #1

I took four 1.5hr mpeg2 video captured shows (640x480 @9500kbps), equalling nearly 20GB of mpeg2 files and copied them over to 2 pcs. Then I used dvdx 2.2 to convert the mpeg2 video to SVCD

PC1
P4 2.4B@2405mhz
P4G8X
4x 512MB XMS3200C2@133mhz 2.5-3-3-7
128MB Gigabyte Radeon II 9000PRO@default
4x 80GB WD 800JB (2 drives in Raid 0 on Rocketraid404 crontroller for OS)
1x 120GB WD 1200JB
Leadtek Winfast 2000XP Deluxe
550W Antec PSU

PC2
P4 2.8C@3262mhz
Albatron PX865PE PRO2
2x 256MB OCZ PC3700Gold@233mhz 2-3-3-7
128MB Xmicro GF4 Ti4200 VIVO@default
2x 120GB WD 1200JB raid 0 on onboard Promise raid controller
1x 80GB WD 800JB
520W Topower PSU

Time taken for each 1.5hr mpeg2 file to convert to SVCD
PC1 = 2hrs 25mins * 4 = 9hrs 40mins
PC2 = 1hr 18mins * 4 = 5hrs 12mins

Test #2

I captured the whole MTV2003 awards in mpeg2 video using Leadtek Winfast 2000XP Deluxe with

720x576
Mpeg2-codec
Mpeg1 audio
Video quality 1000
Video quality data rate 8500kbps

the resulting file was 10.9GB in size (7.6GB was mtv2003 and over recorded the rest) and made a copy of it to the other pc and fed both mpg files through dvd2avi and TMPGenc 2.513 (which is HT supported) to convert to a DVD-R file with motion search set to highest quality, noise and ghost filtering enabled

Time to completion of conversion:

PC1 = ~57+hrs
PC2 = ~27.5hrs

what a time saver! :D

Oh yeah. This is the kind of stuff that we can do that actually uses the power of the PC's we're running these days. With video encoding, the more power, the better.

Too Bad you didn't have my 2.4b so I can see how a 2.4b at 3.2ghz would have done....That way we could have looked at high fsb, more memory bandwidth and ofcourse if HT had any effect.....

Can you get that 2.4b to 2.8ghz and then run it against the 2.8c at stock??? tht would be an interesting comparison as well....

At least both system were DCDDR mobo...I imagine you may not have older system still????

Hehe...I still have fun oc'ing my old 1.6a (kid's machine)....:) :p

hehe~ you guys need to leave "B" chip overclocking to me :na:

Hey, Thugs could you overclock and test your scores to eva2000's?

That could be interesting to see how much the FSB and HT does.

That is a HUGE time savings above. . . . :eek:
