    [General] - Any question too big to remain unanswered but too small to start a new thread for ...

    in HWBOT Development: bugs, features and suggestions

    Posted

    Can you link me to an invalid score? It might be related to some security update we've done. We had this issue with Wprime in the past as well.

     

    I'll add the rules today.

     

    Here you go:

     

    #1 with 1 Core; http://www.hwbot.org/submission/2397007_lippokratis_hwbot_prime_celeron_m_520_1440.4_primes_per_second

     

    #1 with 2 Cores; http://www.hwbot.org/submission/2396297_u22_hwbot_prime_phenom_ii_x3_740_2273.29_primes_per_second

     

    but the more I dug the more I found.

     

    Thank you for the clarification in the rules section, Now that CPU-Z is a requirement as per the general rules then there are many non-compliant submissions. Including the #1 for 2 Cores. I didn't go through to many more as what I was finding was too inconsistent.

    I didn't look all that deep (other than a few searches here) but are there any plans on adding Rules to the HWBot Prime bench? looking at screenshots I am seeing a slew that don't have basic items like CPU-Z (an HWbot Standard) but without rules there is no saying if it's right or not.

     

    also looking at the validity I am also seeing people that have both Valid uploads and invalid uploads. and there are some invalid uploads in the Top10's.

     

    I haven't touched that bench yet as I don't know what makes it tick (and don't have proper rules) I don't want to waste my time with something that can get revoked for stupidity when-ever rules are added.

     

    I also propose that basic rules HAVE TO BE in place to allow any bench to be added to the Beta section. without that it's chaos, and a complete waste of everyone's time...

     

    I personally value mine.

    Flagged Submission for Lack of Proof

    in Result Discussions

    Posted

    One of my Teammates 3DM03 Radeon 9000 Pro submission was flagged for not enough proof.

     

    it was originally submitted on Dec-2008,

     

    http://www.HWBOT.org/submission/797214_komadyret_3dmark03_radeon_9000_pro_2242_marks

     

    I looked at it and saw nothing wrong with it and reloaded the reported submission.

     

    i also noted that we couldn't get any added proof as the submission was 5 years old, and that member doesn't have the HW anymore.

     

    now it's also not getting it's deserved 2 HW points.

     

    it was a validated by Futuremark (but now 3DM03 is not longer supported) so the link is dead.

     

    for 2008 it was within the rules, can my teammate get those points back?

     

    thanks for looking.

    Reconsider How Ties Receive Points

    in HWBOT Rev.5

    more detail

    When time goes on you get a natural advantage, but the current solution is a good way to encourage overclockers to submit their scores early (to get a possible advantage over the competition) and by a side-effect it balances the natural advantage that later overclockers have in very specific cases a little.

     

    I agree with this... also the guy who benched an 8800 in 2009 probably also didn't have access to as many FW's that are available today for tweaking... also better drivers... if they ran a 15x.xx driver, there were a lot of improvements in just that alone...

     

    OC'ing 3-6yrs ago was harder... Drivers change, FW's have changed better documentation on Volt Mods... back then you had to figure it out... now you just google it and you got it....

     

    older HW has gotten easier...

     

    I still prefer Older is first... , I understand people changing to Method 1.. it does make sense... but the guy who did it first shouldn't lose points just because other ppl caught up 5 years later so I stick with my method 2 vote if it were to change.

    actually imo it should be the other way around, efficiency should be first, so smaller mhz = higher score, since its a more efficient run

     

    Ya, but massman pointed out in the first page ppl can lower their clock after the fact before the screenie... will want to make ppl lie and it's impossible to enforce...

     

    I prefer the way it is now, Older date gets more points.... but if it changes, I'd prefer method 2.

     

    what will happen to all the ties in SP1M with folks that have 0.1 points?

    Democritise HWBoints

    I like the thoughts, but I don't see any reason to change what has been working.

     

    Old benches shouldn't be removed for the sake of being old. Many ppl including myself only bench old HW due to the cost of the hobby... I won't ever own the latest and greatest anymore, it's just too costly.

     

    new benches are for new HW...

     

    If you want some separation, create a Legacy HW/Benchmark section, leave the points structure as it is, if I get an old CPU/GPU I want to be able to compete with the submissions from 5 years ago. I wouldn't want to lose that right, and if you take that away you'll alienate myself and many other members in my position.

     

    All hardware in existence have a place imo. don't take that away.
