I'm seeing a strange pattern when I run VRay Benchmark 1.0.8 on a few different systems in both CPU and GPU tests. My brand new Threadripper2 2990WX (Win10) clocked the first CPU test at 26.9 seconds, but every time I've run it again it consistently hits ~27.6 seconds. The GPU test behaved similarly, reporting 44.5 seconds on the very fist run but always coming in at 45.9 every time I've run it again. I've made sure that there are no other processes running, disabled anti-virus, etc. The 2nd attempts for both tests were run RIGHT after the first set and I didn't launch any other apps or close the benchmark app between them. I tried closing and restarting the benchmark app then running both CPU and GPU tests again several times but the results are always consistent to the 2nd runs and never returning back to the original speeds.
I then did the same on my older dual Xeon Win 8.1 workstation and the same thing happened. First run CPU was 1:56, all subsequent restarts 2:01. Since this is a standalone app there's now way to "uninstall/re-install", but I'm wondering if there are any temp/user files I can delete to return the benchmark back to the original state before any tests were run. The fact it remembers and displays the previous benchmark results when you close and reopen the app leads me to believe it's caching something somewhere.
Does anyone else get this behavior?
