My system is using the iGPU as well.

But probably the iGPU has different amount or RAM given to it (ie. fixed, automatic, and how much..).

On my "15828 MB RAM" , i have no IGPU active and no iGPU driver installed as i use only one eVGA Nvidia 670 graphic card.

Ok, then the iGPU cannot be the reason why you have less available RAM than me. It would explain everything, if it would be vice versa.

(It may be a stupid question, so do not think I doubt you knowledge

) Maybe you don't use it and have no driver, BUT what do you have under iGPU Multi-Monitor in BIOS? If Enabled - it is on!

You certainly mean 100PIER and not me, because I am sure, that my iGPU is enabled and working.

Fernando,
It is very strange that when using Intel RST(e) Driver v13.0.0.1072 beta instead of V12.8.11.1000 I got a Memory size: 16324 MB !! on my PC

#69 | Update: new RAID0 benchmark comparison tests datum

Mon Apr 07, 2014 2:12 pm (Last edited: Wed Apr 09, 2014 5:31 pm)

Last weekend I have done a fresh install of the final "Win8.1 x64 Spring Update" in EFI mode onto my Z68 RAID0 system (2x128GB Crucial M4).
I took the opportunity to do some benchmark comparison tests using the following Intel RAID driver/ROM combos:

Intel RST RAID driver v11.2.0.1006 (dated 05/30/2012, latest Intel RST driver) in combination with Intel RAID ROM v11.2.0.1527
Intel RST(e) RAID driver v11.7.4.1001 WHQL (dated 03/05/2013) in combination with Intel RAID ROM v11.6.0.1702
Intel RST(e) RAID driver v12.8.11.1000 WHQL (dated 12/18/2013 in combination with Intel RAID ROM v12.7.0.1936)
Intel RST(e) RAID driver v12.9.0.1001 WHQL (dated 10/28/2013) in combination with Intel RAID ROM v12.9.0.2030
Intel RST(e) RAID driver v13.0.0.1098 WHQL (dated 02/26/2014) in combination with Intel RAID ROM v13.0.0.2075

You can find the results within the start post of this thread (>LINK<).

#70 | New AHCI benchmark comparison tests datum

Wed Apr 09, 2014 6:15 pm

@ all visitors of this thread:
Since >this< thread had already gotten a big volume, I decided to split it and to create a new thread with the title "Performance of the Intel AHCI and RAID drivers". The opener of this new thread formerly had been the 2nd post of the linked one. Additionally I have moved all performance and benchmark related posts of the old thread into this one. So no post has been deleted, but some are not at the same place anymore. I hope, that everything will be ok for you.
If I should have done a mistake or forgotten to move some posts, please let me know it.

Update of the start post

After having done some new RAID0 benchmark tests with my Z68 system last weekend, I decided to do a fresh install of the Win8.1 x64 "Spring Update Edition" onto my Z77 AHCI system as well.
So the opportunity arised to compare the newest Intel AHCI drivers running my new 512 GB Samsung 840 PRO in AHCI mode.

These were the AHCI drivers I have tested:

Win8.1 in-box MS Standard AHCI driver (name: storahci.sys dated 08/22/2013)
Intel RST driver v11.2.0.1006 WHQL (dated 05/30/2012, last "conventional" Intel RST Series AHCI driver)
Intel RST(e) driver v11.7.4.1001 WHQL (dated 03/05/2013, latest RST(e) AHCI driver of the v11 series)
Intel RST(e) driver v12.8.11.1000 WHQL (dated 12/18/2013, newest RST(e) AHCI drivers of the v12 series)
Intel RST(e) driver v12.9.0.1001 WHQL (dated 10/28/2013, latest RST(e) AHCI driver of the v12 series)
Intel RST(e) driver v13.0.0.1098 WHQL (dated 02/26/2014, actually newest Intel AHCI driver)

You can find the benchmark results and my rating within the start post of this thread.
Note:
For the new performance comparison of the AHCI and RAID drivers I have chosen Anvil's Storage Utlity and not the previously used AS_SSD benchmark tool. The simple reason is, that the informations delivered by Anvil's tool are more comprehensive and reliable.

Fernando

Hello Fernando,
thanks for your new benchmarks!

But i have one question: which Intel UEFI RAID "SataDriver" modules did you use?

During my RAID0 performance tests the inserted "TRIM modded" SataDriver modules had the same version as the "Universally TRIM modded" Intel RAID ROM modules (exception: Since there is no SataDriver v11.2 available, I couldn't insert a matching EFI RAID module.).
By the way: The SataDriver module versions didn't matter even while running the SSDs in RAID mode, because I forced the BIOS to use the LEGACY RAID OROM.

I know this was tested on a Z68 Raid0 based system but thanks for the combination & comparison tests with Raid Drivers/Raid Rom. very handy! The "classical" v11.2 Raid Drivers & ORom remaining the best actually.

PS: If i have well understand it seems that those "Universally Trim Modified" Sata ORom or Sata Raid drivers are not very useful for Z77 Chipset platform or optional ? (i'm using regular ones)
