Hexus HandBrake 0.9.9 charts - now with added OpenCL and Quick Sync

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Let see how various CPUs do at HandBrake video encoding!

The previous 0.9.6 thread petered out since it seems that version had issues with CPU utilisation.

Hopefully,this version will not!


HandBrake 0.9.9 needs to be used:

http://handbrake.fr/downloads.php

Videos to encode:

1.)Tron:Legacy 1080p trailer

http://www.chip.de/downloads/HD-Trai..._37505058.html

296.6MB MOV file

2.)Splice 1080p trailer

http://pdl.warnerbros.com/wbmovies/s...lr_1_1080P.wmv

336MB WMV file

3.)Big Buck Bunny 1080p

http://www.bigbuckbunny.org/index.php/download/

886MB MP4 file

Operating system: Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7

Conditions: Regular preset(Normal) and High preset

Output file type: MKV

You will find average FPS during the encode in the encode log(activity windows). The total time for the encode can also be worked out too.

Also state what system specifications you are using,how many CPU threads are being used and the graphics card you are using. I need to know the OS version too.

You will need two sets of data:
1.)Just with the CPU only
2.)With OpenCL enabled and/or Quick Sync. Both are in beta ATM,so you will need to note what version of the beta is.

Also,you will need to note down the file sizes too. It will be interesting to see if the file sizes and quality are the same when compared to the CPU only encodes.

Make sure you set HandBreak priority to high in the Tools menu and shut down programmes like Steam,Word and Firefox.

Edit!!

There seems to be a utility to close down any unnecessary processes!!

You could use Smart Close to get a small fps increase , it ends all non critical processes and services automatically, of course you can add exceptions

Second Edit!!

It appears OpenCL is only used for downsizing video ATM:

https://trac.handbrake.fr/milestone/OpenCL%20Beta

It is still not used for actual encoding!!

However,the Quick Sync enabled version does:

It seems OpenCL support is in Beta ATM and so is Quick Sync support(thanks for AETAaAS for the heads up).

Is it possible any of you can run the high preset too?

I have been following the 0.9.5 thread and the 0.9.6 thread and I have seen mention of an updated chart but I have yet to find it.
Now that we are starting 0.9.9 is the a chart that shows the scores up to this point?
Going to upgrade and since encoding blurays a on high profile preset is all this will do I would love to see what's my best option
From research it's looks like the 3930k or 4770k. Although I prefer the price of the 4770k. Lol

[Webber jogger]

Or even the 4570k if it shows it can keep up overclocked.

A rather definitive answer that the source and target storage doesn't really make a difference.

If I will have some down time, will do a test with having the target storage a USB 2.0 key. Still don't think that will be a bottleneck.
