Windows 10: Is this benchmark scores normal for SATA 2?

Hi,

I know that I'm using an outdated system by today's standards (Gigabyte P55A-UD3P) which contains an outdated Marvel chipset for SATA 3. According to many forum advices I read, I preferred to hook up my 500 GB Samsung Evo 850 SSD drive I bought in 2015 to a SATA 2 connector but are these benchmark scores normal for this setup? (8GB DDR3 memory & Windows 10 Home Edition)



Is there anyway to get higher numbers than these?

:)

 

Unigine Heaven 4.0 Benchmark Scores

NOTICE

This thread has officially run its course. New scores can't and won't be added to the list in the OP.
But fear not. All hope is not yet lost. We'll just do another one.

I'm reviving this thread as Unigine Heaven 4.0 Benchmark Scores Part 2. Valid scores from this thread are being transfered to it. So you don't need to worry about reposting them there. I've almost finished updating the new list. But I'm taking a short break from that to announce the death of this thread and the birth of the new one. If your score has not already been posted in this thread please post it in the new thread(as this one should be closing soon). And please be patient with me as I adjust to my new role as threadkeeper.

Thank you ahead of time for your cooperation. And good luck benching!

Unigine Heaven 4.0 Benchmark Scores Part 2

PS, the Valley thread needs a new owner too. I may decide to take that position as well(esp. if all goes well with this one). But if anyone else would like a shot at it, I encourage you to step up to the plate first. I'd imagine doing both would be taking a bigger bite than I might be able to chew.

UNIGINE-Valley BENCHMARK scores

You know you were beaten by a Titan as well and that shouldn't happen. It must be cpu that's making the difference. That would explain Mydog's score being so high even with 8x. If this benchmark is that bad at isolating the graphics it's probably not the best choice for a benchmark. Granted sometimes games are cpu sensitize.

Might I suggest tpu get a proper Heaven 4.0 thread? If you want to test just the gpu that's it. Nothing is more consistent than that. I'd also suggest breaking the score up by resolution because people seem to have trouble running non-native res. That way every time someone uses a new res you make a new list and everyone competes against other people who can run that res. Define the other presets but leave res up the user.

Like this basically
