[Software] Benchmarking some machines. WIP.

#2
THE NUMBERS: HP ENVY x360
(Still WIP, will update continuously)

Here's the current HP x360 Envy's scores.
PCMark 10 - 3084
Unigine: Heaven (PasteBin)
Unigine: Valley (PasteBin)
3DMark 11: Fire Strike - 1440

OVERCLOCKS:
3DMark 11: Fire Strike - 1604 (OVERCLOCKED GPU)
 PCMark 10 - 2970 (OVERCLOCKED GPU)
GeekBench 5: GPU [CUDA]
GeekBench 5: GPU [OpenCL]

Combined:      |  484           |  563           | + 16.2%
* Avg. FPS:    |    2.25        |  2.62          | + 16.2%

UL/FutureMark claim that with consecutive testing, results should typically fall into a ~3% delta. So, with those standards, anything that has a % delta (last column) of -3% to +3% should be disregarded.
I increased my GPU clock by 135MHz, and Memory clock by 185MHz. That's +14% and +14.5%, respectively.
I know that changes don't increase linearly with the frequency increases, as Hz is reciprocal, but I would hope for some bigger gains than whatever PCMark is throwing back at me.
Perhaps I'll re-run the tests.

Notes:

PCMark 10 Wrote:Overall pretty satisfied with the numbers. Yeah, the overall score is low; it even lists it as lower than your typical Office machine. Granted, but what's actually bringing the score so low? Two things: Rendering (1291) & Digital Content Creation (2036.) Photo Score gets an honourable mention (2312) for the top 3. 
But the other scores are well above average, for instance the Apps score at a whopping Over 9000. 
It basically measures how fast things can start up, so the speedy NVMe drive certainly helps. But Web/Essentials are also pretty high. 

So I'm confident that if the GPU was better, this score would be DRASTICALLY higher.

3DMark 11 Wrote:The fans started maxing even while starting the application. Chrissake.
The software warned me that I should disable G-SYNC before running any of the tests, as it could negatively affect performance. 
I decided 'f*** it' since I ran every other benchmark already and want as much control variables as possible. So I left it on.

Overclocking Wrote:In the past I've mentioned how difficult it is to overclock this d*** GPU.
And it is.
But magically, using a tool from 2014 called Nvidia Inspector, I got it to +135MHz for processing clock and +180MHz for the Memory clock. 
Apparently, those are probably the safest performance vs. stability numbers out there.
And it looks like a bad(?) Nvidia Driver update broke MSI Afterburner that for their OC. I use a ? because they probably did it to stop people from OC'ing.

I suspect that something went seriously wrong during the OC PCMark 10 Spreadsheet test. I'll have to look into it, but the only thing I did differently was OC the GPU, which should have little to no effect at all.

Invalid GPU Wrote:Both 3DMark and PCMark are owned by UL, and their sysinfo can't seem to figure out what my GPU is.
When the application is open here I see the name and all the info, but on the results page there's that little 'Invalid' warning. For whatever reason, the results formally display as 'Generic VGA' or whatever.
I think that might have something to do with faulty/outdated Intel drivers. Since HP never approved an update past 2018 for the 620, I need to manually install the files and hope my whole computer doesn't blow up.
