Could somebody do me a favour and run passmark (CPU) on a windows vm of theirs?
Download PassMark PerformanceTest - PC Benchmark Software

I was trying to find out why a certain game was slow and found that my game box (with a 1650v4 atm) only gets around 1100-1200 single thread points there).

Played around with cpus/ latency settings/slices - not much change.
Tried another VM - same; moved to another Box - same magnitude...

So need verification if its me, my setup or a general issue.

Thanks

Edit:
1650v4 is supposed to have 2000+ points

I do want to note that I am running with adjusted Powercfg settings in S2016 to overcome some Plex server responsiveness issues. I can share details if of interest, I'll just have to dig through notes.

Well that sounds way more reasonable then my result, thanks.

I'll need to dig a bit on my end then (as expected).

Found it - some weird power saving option I had activated while replaceing the v3 with v4 a few days ago.
*puh* - and here i went and considered already getting a new game box ...
