like i said - I am a bit slow - - and lazy at times - soorry LOL I swear I was looking for a sticky - and did not see it - I am blind as well. lol

got it - sorry I can be very slow sometimes. Plus the bell was already inactive - so the result had already been moderated

ok cool - I misunderstood the sig of jmke - don't pm mods for scores and hardware... my bad

Just curious, what is the best way to handle if you "think" you spotted a cheated score. As I understand the way would be to post it here - but that posting this in public might hurt that person without the cheat being 100% confirmed. You're not supposed to contact hwbot mods about this - right?

well said Kingpin -that's 100% my thoughts as well. @stummerwinter - didn't see that thread - got that link sent from a friend without info and only saw that the 6 seconds were actually over 8 seconds...

did someone forget to turn off time warp????

Andre cheating???? Lol -he's waaay too slow to be cheating. OPB -is whole different story - he can be so quick sometimes that you don't know what has hit you. But then this gy is relentless - he just doesn't ever stop. Well then so is Andre - relentless...Taiwan benchers rock! On a serious note - it's waaay to easy to go on a witchhunt with results - sometimes a bencher simply finds a new tweak, a golden CPU or just the perfect combo. Smoke always clears at the end of the day On a funny note: how many seconds does a Taiwanese minute have?

wow - another interesting PCMark05 thread...looks my favorite benchmark is getting ready to get canned. Well maybe the time has come to kiss PCMark05 goodbye. Fact is - HDD scores are too heavily scoring if SDDs/IRAMs/ACARDs are used. It's getting too confusing what is legit and what is not. To the OP - sorry as cool as your score is - like Gautam tried to relay - 9000mb/s as simply not possible by current hardware alone. A single RAID controler in a perfect setting might!!! hit 1200/mbs, 3 PCI-E theorectically could hit about 3000mb/s - but 9000mb/s simply is not possible without the help of some innovative caching. Whether the caching is done by a driver, software solution or software ram drive is secondary - the problem is that the scoring is not representing real world performance of your actual hardware. I am using software ramdrives in my 24/7 settings - they truly do make computing a lot more efficient! But at this point in order to "police" the bench I feel it gets too hard to monitor what is legit and what is not if we want to only benchmark the hardware.

back to 220 cap? Pretty please

So in this example it seems like that using the regular HDD with HT disabled is better then SSD+MFT ??? The problem I personally have is not the real world performance gains in applications, and again MFT is great for SSD and all other drives as well. But as you can the the real world speed improvements are minor and are not 20X the performance which we see in HDD tests in PCMark05. For the way PCMark05 calculates scores allowing softwares RAMdrives and MFT tweaks the total socres get completely messed up. The 220MB limit kept the score skewing somewhat under check - a fast quad core system will outscore a dual core system. With software ram scores the entire benchmark score system gets ruined and whoever runs the best memory will get the top scores. Isn't there SuperPI etc for that? I tried to make the point by submitting my untweaked AMD air benched score which kills a LN2 bench of mine with Core i7 @ 5GHZ. Allowing HDD based score to get that crazy kills PCMark05 in my point of view. I just ran my AMD system with an IDE drive - I got 12k, with MFT I get 35K - 23000points coming from HHD based points is just way too far off.

From easyco install manual: MFT runs nice nevertheless - beats some of my software ramdrives. Allowing MFT and or SOftware ram will allow more peeps to competively bench PCMark05 - thsi at least would be a bonus. Just the idea of an overall system bench will get lost

why did my result not get accepted? I worked sooo long for it!

MFT can be used there too

I don't want my score to be allowed - that was sooo slow ...

let's just ADD PCMark Vantage and keep PCMark05 :-) nicely put!!!
