Cinebench r15 an Unreliable Benchmark tool?

[DarkKnightVFX]

I may be speaking for just myself here, and I'm not saying this is the same with everyone. 

I ran the Cinebench OpenGL benchmark on my PC with my original GTX 980, and it scored about 130. I ran the same exact test when I got my GTX 1080 ti, and it actually scored significantly lower, at 70. The card itself is perfectly fine in every other game or benchmark, but the results seem to be so screwed up here.

My CPU showed similarly skewed results. Cinebench gave my i7 4790k a 777 score, which makes no sense. I ran geekbench 4 and this was my score https://browser.geekbench.com/v4/cpu/3572787 . (which is on par with most non OC'd 4790Ks)

 

I'm just saying it's definitely a bad test, it seems like an unreliable benchmark PC hardware according to these odd results i've encountered (even after running the tests multiple times). Maybe it's just me, or have any of you encountered "off" cinebench scores too?

i don't know if anyone actually does the Cinebench OpenGL bench and use that to measure performance.

 

Geekbench as far as I can tell fucking loves ARM, to the point where a A10/A9X can perform/outperform a m3/i5 ultra shit CPU..

The OpenGL test is massively affected by the single thread performance of ones processor.

 

So don't use it. 

 

For the actual CPU test there's a variety of factors such as CPU clock, cache clock, memory clock and memory timings, all of which can affect score. 

 

Also if you happen to have tons of open tasks or maybe even some light ones they'll affect the score too. Usually people who complain about low scores are also rendering a video for some insane reason.

cinebench is one of the the most reliable benchmarks

sainebench is a CPU benchmark !!!!!!

But isn't cinebench comes from cinema so it would have all those glorious visual effects and therefore more gpu.. im not sober

I'd spend more time looking at the way you're testing than if the Cinebench is reliable.  I can assure you that it is.

 

As others have stated, background tasks and other things will impact your score.  Make sure that you are shutting off any an all tasks running in the background that may impact consistency.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I was hella confused when my gtx 960 was only getting a ~65 fps avg, and my processor was a phenom ii x6 1035t. I guess the processors single-core speed made the opengl test perform bad.
