In the meantime, I'll be running one or both power-saving tests, but I'll periodically check in from my phone and desktop PC.Īhh, okay, I won't use the EVGA one then.

I'm guessing having almost no difference in battery life (in spite of the different performance scores, with the CPU at the same frequency) is due to the fact that my laptop doesn't support using the CPU's integrated GPU, and uses the 970M all the time. Is the accelerated score assisted by the GPU (GTX 970M in my case)? If so, could that be why some of you recommend putting discrete GPUs even in non-gaming home/office desktop builds? The battery life is only 1 second different. One thing I've noticed on two scores I already have - is the discrepancy between the Accelerated and Conventional Work performance scores, when the CPU was running at 2.1 GHz. I'm also considering doing 1 run each on the Home and Creative benchmarks, but I haven't yet decided which power profile I'd use. Work Conventional, power saving (CPU limited to 0.8 GHz) Work Accelerated, power saving (CPU limited to 0.8 GHz) Probably using Balanced / Entertainment power profile.īattery life tests I would like to run but haven't yet include: , Work Conventional: Score 2419, Battery 2:31:41, CPU 2.1 GHz. It was probably set on Balanced / Entertainment. , Work Accelerated: Score 3733, Battery 2:31:42, CPU 2.1 GHz. I think I had it set on high performance mode. I'm comparing conventional vs accelerated (I think he used this one) to compare performance vs battery life. I chose Work, because that's the test Linus says he uses on laptops in one of his recent (may still only be on vessel) laptop reviews.
GTX 1070 ABYSMAL OPENCL BENCHMARK SCORE WINDOWS
I've tried going into the Windows Power options and setting the CPU to 100% on the performance plan on battery, and I've also tried using a Control Center application that came with the laptop's driver/software disc.įor all tests, I've set screen brightness at 20%, and the GPU (GTX 970M) is not in battery mode in NVidia GeForce Experience, or at least should not be.
GTX 1070 ABYSMAL OPENCL BENCHMARK SCORE FULL
Yesterday morning early, I was able to do a Work Accelerated run at full 3.7 GHz speed. For some reason, today I'm unable to get my CPU to run more than 2.1 GHz on battery, even in high performance mode. I'm trying to do some battery life benchmarks on my laptop using PCMark 8 Advanced.
