I notice some of the tests are affected by cpu speed. I see significant difference in numbers on the same type of video card on different cpu.

ir123, you are right.
> I notice some of the tests are affected by cpu speed.

And I think PowerMizer has a problem.

Stephen mentioned to me that various CPU frequency scaling technologies also affect the memory bus clock speed, which affects the memory bandwidth for notebook/mobile GPUs. For these systems, you may need to disable CPU frequency scaling or force it to a particular minimum level to ensure that the GPU has enough bandwidth.
