Tech ARP x264 HD Benchmark
Simply put, it is a reproducible measure of fast your machine can encode a short HD-quality video clip into a high quality x264 video file. It’s nice because everyone running it will use the same video clip and software. The video encoder (x264.exe) reports a fairly accurate internal benchmark (in frames per second) for each pass of the video encode and it also uses multi-core processors very efficiently. All these factors make this an ideal benchmark to compare different processors and systems to each other.
What’s x264? It’s more or less the next generation Xvid/DivX codec.
We generally expect frame rates of around 75 at stock and 85 when overclocked for Pass 1, and whilst at stock it was bang on the money, the overclock results surpassed our expectations, and Pass 2 was slightly above our estimated results too showing that this board is perfect for budding video editors among us who rely on rendering time.
