My phase5 1260/50 is too slow?

[keropi]

Well I just benched my newly acquired phase5 1260 , and syspeed gives me ~38.5mips on os3.9 ... should I also intall the drivers? Are there any newer versions anywere to download? Should't it measure ~60+ MIPS?  :-?

[Piru]

Sigh.

You can't compare MIPS numbers from different apps. They are NOT compatible.

SysInfo gives me about the same amount of mips where's the latest SysSpeed say about 65.

[TjLaZer]

SysInfo was written before there was a 060 card for the Amiga, hence it thinks you have a 040 at 50MHz or so.  Double the MIPS and that is about right for a 060.

[keropi]

ah, great Is there any need to install a 060 lib on os3.9?

[Brian]

I see no harm in doing it so go ahead and install the 040 and 060 libs from Phase5, download it from AmiNet (remember there should be a newer version somewhere but have forgotten the url and to be honnest it didn't change much of anything for me compared to the ones on AmiNet).

Bye :-)

PS- use Voyager to download it.

hmmm it says /ppc/ r u sure it is OK for my 1260?

[Brian]

Ah.. yes that's the one, yes it's safe to take home and install.

[Framiga]

yes and as soon as possible, seen that DCE has renoved all the Amiga download section . . . .ARGH!!!!

any comment, would be superfluous . . .

MEGA-thanx!  :-D

060 has two integer units - a novelty in 68k series.
Sysinfo uses just one integer unit when testing 060 while SysSpeed uses both - that makes the difference.

ohhhhh... nice :-D

I just saw some screenshots from ELBOX with syspeed running on a 1260... for a 50Mhz version 38,5 MIPS is the normal, but the 66Mhz version gives ~52,7 MIPS... now come the big Q : can I overclock to that? I need more! :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Perhaps, may depend on your SIMM quality. I run my B2060 at 57-60 MHz w/o problems, 64-66 MHz tend to freeze - may depend on the Zorro addon board.
