January 24, 20179 yr Has anyone played with the clover settings to see how it affects vm performance? I did a few changes last night and what I found is below. Some of the changes I did not expect to make a difference in testing, but documented them as an incremental part of the process. As changes were made, system was rebooted, and the benchmark retested. Some of the parameters I entered are specific to my hardware and should not be used on others because it may cause system instability. Hardware Hp DL380 G6 dual processor x5670 8GB ram assigned to vm 12 cores (non paired) assigned to vm vm on unassigned SSD OS X 10.12.1 fresh install no updates Testing using cinebench R15 Clover version:2k3 rev 3579 New vm created using 1st version by gridrunner(non vmware install version) Results no settings (fresh install) 1021 1021 1020 smbios set to 14,1 1026 1027 1026 qpi and bus speed 3,200 1031 1028 1021 cpu frequency 2930 (base frequency of my processor) 1032 1020 1019 cpu frequency 3333 (max turbo frequency of my processor) Caused audio problem in some instances 1171 1167 1171 passed through GTX 760 1165 1165 1162 The biggest gain, about 10%, seems to be in telling OS X that the cpu frequency is higher. I have not set it above the max turbo frequency of the processor. Anyone else?
