    4790K IGP banding + white crush

    Windows 8.1 Pro N with 4790K processor (at stock), Asus Gryphon Z97 mobo, 32GB DDR3 and AOC U3477PQU monitor with DisplayPort 1.1. In Gradient (banding) - Lagom LCD test page I see severe banding (like in example reduced color depth later in that page). Also in white saturation test there is...

    Intel 80GB SSD G2 performance problem?

    Unfortunately not. I have been using Windows 7 RTM now six weeks and don't use Vista anymore. I re-tested with AS Disk Benchmark, and my random 4K and 4K64-Thrd results are down quite a bit. Six weeks ago / today (in MB/s): 4K: read 20,7 / 16,4 and write 30,2 / 22,4 4K64-Thrd: read...

    Intel SSD G2 new firmware is out

    As I wrote previously, the data was left intact. It took only couple of minutes and was very fast and painless process. So all the data in the drive should be ok after the update. But it never hurts to make proper backup before flashing the drive.

    Intel 80GB SSD G2 performance problem?

    The new firmware for Intel SSD G2 drives is out. I installed the new update and obviously it didn't have any effect on the performance.

    Intel SSD G2 new firmware is out

    Intel has released new firmware for the SSD G2 drives. I installed the firmware update for my 80GB model, and everything went smoothly. The data on the drive was left intact and everything is working as it should. Obviously the update didn't have any effect on the performance (tested with...

    Intel 80GB SSD G2 performance problem?

    I updated my laptop BIOS to latest version, and now Safe Mode vs. normal mode bechmarks are quite close. CDM and AS SSD results in 4K random reads / writes are still about 10-15% slower then "optimal new state" but I think that could just be "steady state" setting in because I have been...

    Intel 80GB SSD G2 performance problem?

    Out of curiosity I decided to bechmark in SafeMode. To my suprise CDM scored 22,6 / 60,7 MB/s read / write and AS SSD 22,9 / 41,8 MB/s in 4K and 144,1 / 54,7 MB/s in 4K-64Thrd. So these results are inline what everyone else is getting, be it ICH9 or ICH10. It seems, at least in my case, that...

    Intel 80GB SSD G2 performance problem?

    Ok, that would explain the difference almost completely then. Thanks for the info!

    Intel 80GB SSD G2 performance problem?

    Yes, but I have used the drive only couple of days. Only normal use, not much bechmarking or heavy writing. So really shouldn't be at "steady state" yet :). Could you give me your AS SSD Bechmark results for 4K and 4K-64Thrd in IOPS? I have about 4200/6700 in 4K and about 34000/14000 in...

    Intel 80GB SSD G2 performance problem?

    Really? The ICH9M-E is quite new, and Intel says it has SATA 3Gb/s support. And as I wrote before, the sequential transfer rates are inline with what others are getting, aroung 250/85MB/s. Actually I have read that the Intel SSD G2 drives' performance degradation should be quite low...

    Intel 80GB SSD G2 performance problem?

    I have read many threads here about the new Intel SSD G2 and people are getting about 22-25MB/s read and about 60MB/s write in 4k random tests in CDM (CrystalDiskMark 2.2). However in CDM (100MB test) I get only about 17,5MB/s in read and about 33MB/s in write, the sequential transfer rates...
