  1. It just seems like it's a money concern. It's not fair for people to run 4x gpu an get a lot of boints because I can't afford one. But it is fair for a person to buy a $500 gpu and spends thousands on finding or buying a high clocking cpu. Yet there are those who cannot even afford a $500 gpu and only can afford to try their luck once with a cpu.

     

    It sounds like people are trying to have rules changed in order to cater to their specific needs.

  2. There's no "overall" ranking for the HOC at the moment. They're all stand-alone competitions.

     

    However: http://hwbot.org/forum/showthread.php?t=37345.

     

    Mid 2012, we're changing to a more structured version of hwbot competitions. Team competitions in the style of the Country Cup and HOC, with start and end date. Seasons if you will :).

     

    A season, great idea. How on earth do you come up with such brilliant ideas :)

  3. as others said you can wait other brands, no one forcing you to buy Asus, it's normal marketing world, you want EASY XE oc ? buy my product (easy for who has money and want XE oc )

     

    PS: that's why Hipro5 don't OVclock anymore? he has money but no more fun for him i think...

     

    buy a matrix/lightning or WTH they call it (all shifts by asus/gbt/msi marketing) if you have 2k dollars money for the new VGA buy them X 5 and go to -180 run the EASY SW tools(easy huh ? use your mouse and go higher ) run the benchmark and say WOW i am in top 5 HAF :D

     

    stilö love the P5K vanilla time (7 mods), the only time i enjoyed OC P35 with a lot of tweaks and fun....

     

    If that was towards me, it was a joke, hence the smiley. You may not like the ease of use, but atleast vendors are catering to the extreme segment by adding these features into their hardware. This VGA comes with solder spots to get it working with features that they have implemented on their top of the line motherboard.

  4. I'm just starting to get into this bench and i don't want to see it go. The xp startup cap is part of the challenge to get a good score and it's really not all that difficult to slow it down enough to be under 220. It may defeat the purpose of the bench, but having it there add a little bit of fine tuning. It also doesn't make older scores completely obsolete.

     

    Now what christian has done, by making a thread and exposing some of the tweaks to improve scores is a great idea. If everyone is aware of most of the tweaks, then the bench in theory should once again be based on storage setup and clocks. There are those who still want to tinker and find new tweaks and there will be those who try to get away with cheating, but cheaters will always be cheaters.

    I wonder.... if the 3D01 4x GPU World record was worth 169 points like a usual bench.... how would the leaderboard look in 3 weeks time?

     

    I'm sure that within 3 weeks we'll see numerous scores of 3x/4x benches where scores don't scale. 05, 06, AM3 the WR for 1x and 4x is maybe 2-3k difference and most of the time it's the same or less.

     

    I don't see how running 3x 580's on air merits WR points or deserves to be rewarded in any way. It's just not impressive. The same applies to any other bench where you can do the same. Right now we've only seen it in 01, the rest will follow suit shortly.
