Yeah, it does seem that often on "slower" cpus x265 4k lacks the granularity to distinguish between scores. Unfortunately we can't just do pure time because of overkill mode. But you definitely should at least tie and get the same pts.

I think even when they're done fixing the ranking you'll only be tied with Jokot, although you should get same rank and pts. I found this on g470 where it takes a colossal effort to go up .01 fps. So if you want to make sure you end up on top then see if you can push all timings tighter and perhaps get an extra bclk or two for more ram and cpu speed so you inch forward another .01fps in front of Jokot. At least you only need to get 0.945 fps or more to do it, due to the rounding

I am all for it. Gives me more reason to rebench my g470 with ram on dice so people don't take my gold with .611 fps

People who push for pts based on specific cooling and other competitions of who can do a one handed clap the fastest while skateboarding and knitting with the other hand seem to think that there is an unlimited supply of fake internet pts to give away and that hwbot has a monopoly over it. Which neither is true, hwbot does not have a monopoly on fake internet pts, for example you can head over to 3dmark ladder and have your ambient scores kicked to the curb even faster or else you can go to (insert other place that hands out fake internet pts to ambient score, oh wait there isn't). I think that with the huge shortage of fake internet pts out there it's quite nice and noble of hwbot to hand them out to not the very best of the best scores. If you want to get more pts then perhaps you can open up your own free pts bank and dole them out based on whatever measurement system you believe in. You can call it ambientonly.org, or perhaps fuckln2.net

I can assure you that less whine, more bench is the only way to move up the rankings. Just like rev 6. You can spend all your time arguing for score to be measured by the angle of the moon on the 3rd of the month, or you can get back to benching and post good scores. If you get gold in one bench and not another on the same hw then I think it's clear where the competition lies. I showed you how I won my one handed underwater basket weaving competition basically against myself on hd graphics. That's not hard to do, most anyone can if they're playing to win. If you want pts you need to beat people who are playing to win. Heck I got 3rd for gb3 multi core on a crappy 5.35 ghz 2600k! It's not because my bench efficiency is amazing or I had the golden sticks of psc. It's cause there weren't literally hundreds of people showing up with the intent of winning. There were apparently 3 including myself, and considering that chip wasn't binned at all and I literally lucked into getting it free it's questionable if I even was. My point of this wall of text is a simple message. Git gud son.

I only mention because I've had my score taken down for this exact this. I like competition, but I want to make sure that when I'm beaten it doesn't get taken down for something easy. One thing that may help you get more bclk, if you have the option to set the most negative number you can for all skews, also set like 2v for pll and a healthy vccsa and vccio. This will help some chips get more bclk, the chips that it hurts will never get a high bclk anyways so I just use this preset along with some other settings that I lucked into and can't remember off the top of my head when I bin locked sandy chips.

I think he's just whining because he wants to whine. At the start of rev 7 I dropped down to like 150 in apprentice league from around 50 in rev 6 after everything was said and done, and now I'm in 25th place. So I think the new rev lends itself to picking up score very quickly if you are of very low rank. On rev 6 once you got top 50 there was a lot more cases of having to do well in reeeally competitive benches to inch up a few places. Now I've literally gained more than 100 places just on intel igpu. It's popular, but not popular enough that I can't easily bruteforce most scores with good mem, high gpu clock, and poor efficiency. If people want to get some ez pts for $15 then come and take mine in hd graphics (sandy bridge), literally my 1st chip rode me to victory. Made me regrest buying 8 to bin http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/hd_graphics_sandy_bridge/

I can feel his plight. I did not have a good time on the z270 soc or on the x370 k7 when I used them for gigabyte comps. I see good results with them and iirc they have mem magic that no other vendor has. My 790x ud4p is a great board, but it seems that as of late I've had the worst luck with their newer boards out right trolling me and not being good. So perhaps they have quality control issues? Also their bios is awful, all options are spread out as far as possible, but I could overlook that if my boards didn't outright troll me. My soc for example clocks 4 ranks better than 2 ranks on my 7700k for no reason and is also unable to do 2t due to some things that giga messed up. I could go on an on about how the gigabyte comps have been the worst possible pr for me possible as they've made me hate their boards, but I see no need.

I don't know why you're complaining about no pts for older hw. I literally have picked up over 600 pts with sandy bridge igpus the last 2 weeks. The pts are there, you just have to spend less time complaining and actually go get them.

Looks like I'll need to rebench

cpu-z windows have to be on screen when you save the file for it's screenshot

Well all the changes are supposedly based on what we all asked for. So you only have your fellow benchers to blame that a bench that bases res on desktop res had it's pts pulled. For catzilla I don't know the reason, but perhaps people are tired of making ram drives because a "3d" bench adds load time to the score?

I don't know why you're so salty. If the pts are so "ez" to get then there is no reason you can't go get them. They're on cheap hw. So if you aren't able to go get them then perhaps you need to get better at OC? You can push the crap outta anything, case in point my recent work on intel igpus. Too many lame OCs there, so I've been working to get rid of their pts

Do you know how this works? I haven't seen xtu run on any other westmere chips but there's quite a few scores on this cpu. https://hwbot.org/benchmark/xtu/rankings?hardwareTypeId=processor_2150&cores=2#start=0#interval=20 edit: nvm, just noticed that they're all i3 3310m that somehow were allowed to be subbed as 330m. Could one of the mods maybe fix?

I've noticed with the hw db sometimes it shows up at the bottom of the page not the right, probably due to resolution. So try scrolling down. For the pts for those benchmarks. They literally have had pts pulled from them. Go to the benchmarks page on hwbot and you'll see.

Ty

All of the benches you just mentioned aren't worth pts. You can check which ones are worth pts by looking at the benchmarks tab on hwbot.

Probably the lowest score I've seen yet, and I don't think this is just a result of the test crashing

What can I say? I go hard, there are too many laaame intel igpu ocs on here getting pts and I aim to fix that

Amen!

Another massive score from kingpin! Keep it up!

100% score here, no monitor pull required!

If you can't beat them at effeciency outclock them! Really need to get some better ram, but it's a shame that nobody has really pushed this igpu. 1900+ is no problem with some bclk at 1.75v to the igpu, yet everyone sits at 1500 mhz. Laaaame

Will be interesting to see the results of this one, I've always been interested in xeon phi as kind of this wacky thing from intel, as a sort of solution without a problem. The newest one was the only one that I could find a real use for, and that's only because it finally has "real" cpu cores so would work good for a vm server or something.

Lol, people complaining about having subs removed for no background. True they failed to communicate it going into the 1st weekend of the comp, but I have to ask who subs a score weekend 1 that they don't feel they could do better next session? The big scores drop last week of comp almost always. I know there are some exceptions like when OCN destroyed the ddr2 record early in team cup last year, but those are exceptions not a rule. I know I have no issue having my 2600k subs taken down, I was already benching the 2600k for hd 3000 and figured I'd bench the relevant benches while I was at it. Tbh I was planning on rebenching anyways as that 2600k doesn't go above 5.35 ghz (or I don't know how to oc sandy, very likely) and I found a deal so I have 4 2600ks on the way. Plus 32m in win 7? I can drop 30s off that score without improving my oc at all. So I think being forced to rebench gives us all an excuse to get bigger scores before the comp is over. One thing I wonder about that I may've missed, so is sandy-e allowed for div 7? Or was that a mistake? Cause I don't feel like getting destroyed by "lame" 3930k oc when I push my 2600k.
