  1. My opinion this pro cup is that it has the potential to be very cool for the outsider or from the view of those who aren't participating. Potential meaning that if everyone were up for it and were going to be all in then it could succeed. I'm not sure how you guys will like it and it seems that as of now most don't.

     

    Right now I could really careless what goes on in the pro league. I see big scores come in all the time, but most are just slightly edging out the last score and it's always the same stuff with highly binned stuff. These big scores come at random times. Like the last couple of days team AU. got together and put up some nice scores that deserve recognition. The cool thing was that it was a team effort and they all did it.

     

    What I think is pretty cool about the cup is that it has the potential to let the pros work with stuff that they aren't used to. Not the greatest and the fastest, but still relevant and new hardware. Just like recently, those who have participated in the trinity challenges. I'm pretty sure Splave was trying this out as was Xtremeaddict and a few more who i cant remember off the top off my head. Things like that are more interesting to me than seeing the same stuff over and over.

     

    The downside is that since it's a 3 month contest we'll see lots of sandbagging. Possibly very few updates. If the Pros are not be up for it, then it's a big fail. Then there are those who really don't care about Ln2 clocks. Best hardware or not, they like clocks on ambient cooling. I see that a lot on some forums, where someone posts a link to a new WR and there are countless pages of people crying about this not being practical, or they want to see 8ghz with all cores not just 1. If the idea is to spark new life or to grab the attention of the outside world, then some of those people might not care either way. Maybe there is more to this than to just $park new life.

  3. If you know AMD raid expert is wrong, why do you continue to submit scores with it? Just because massman once said it was OK? Currently, everything is under speculation and you've been saying it since the team cup that you don't agree with it. How about having some principles and run the bench according to what you feel is right, instead of following the heard.

     

    I don't have many recent submissions myself, but I deleted the ones that I could find using flash2desktops. I know that running software that makes the screen turn black during a test is not a legitimate score. From what I've seen, we still don't have a final decision on F2D, but I decided to remove them, while most of us are removing our scores and trying to salvage what integrity we have left.
