iMiKE Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Hello! I have a large own benchresults for different configurations in old version 1.60.1300. Today I have moved to a new version of AIDA64, but this new version didnt picked up my benchlist. Main goal in upgrading version was the fact that v1.60.1300 does not display name of new mobos correctly - just <unknown>. How to import oldlist to a new version? Simple editing xml stricture does not helps - crc protects results. However i can copy new files (aida_bench32.dll, aida_bench64.dll, aida_cpuid.dll, aida_diskbench.dll) to the old directory, but this is not a "clean" solution and program remains outated( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 When you run a benchmark, AIDA64 always warns you that: "Please note that results obtained with different versions of AIDA64 cannot be compared. FinalWire constantly improves and optimizes benchmark routines and implements new technologies to provide you with the most accurate and highest benchmark scores." Hence you cannot re-use old benchmark results, simply because those old scores cannot be compared to ones you obtained with a newer AIDA64 release.

iMiKE Posted October 12, 2012 Author Share Posted October 12, 2012 Fiery: i have compared results of these 2 versions on 7 systems - they are the same. Difference is just like statistic deviation. Therefore, I can approach such a small difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiery Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Some of the benchmark results may be the same on some of the systems out there. We don't revamp all benchmarks at every stable releases of course: there's no point and there's no resources to do so. But for example, at the next AIDA64 update we are planning to completely drop the current PhotoWorxx benchmark and AES benchmark, and replace them with brand new ones that produce very different scores (with even different measurement units). Same goes for the next version after that where we want to drop all current memory benchmarks and replace them with more modern, more efficient ones. Not to mention supporting new architectures where we constantly work on implementing newer and even smarter tricks to squeeze a bit more out of the system than before. E.g. if you measure an AMD Trinity system with an older version of AIDA64, you will get much lower scores than with the latest AIDA64 (v2.60). It's not easy to assure consistent benchmark results across the whole range of systems AIDA64 is capable of benchmarking (from the very first Pentium-60 and K5-75 to the latest Core i7 and FX processors). And we can only do that if you stick to the rules of comparing results only if they are obtained by the same AIDA64 release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMiKE Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Fiery: ok, I understood, there is no way to add compatibility of results. But maybe there's a possibility to make old version compatible with a new hardware? Guessin', that all hardware id db is stored in one dll...

Fiery Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Hardware database is not stored in a DLL, and the layout of that database sometimes changes, so it's not a good idea to port the database between AIDA64 versions. Also, it's not just the database that changes, but the detection engine itself that is embedded in the main binary (AIDA64.EXE). So I'm afraid you cannot make an old version compatible with new hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
