... when you need a new laptop and get one specifically with really obscure HW to bench to guarantee some golds
-
Argh was just about to get my achievement for 50 golds, and then noticed you stole one
I need to get this card back out of storage and on the X79

1. total fps - 140.000
2. rendered-fps=1 80.000
3. rendered-fps=0 60.000
if that is actually what lucid does...it is in no way usefull for benching. since when we count skipped fps??? if so we would have called the 03 blackscreen bug the best tweak ever but I can't remember we did so
I think you're getting confused about what MVP does. It doesn't 'skip frames', it negotiates which part of the previous frame can be kept for the next one.
So it isn't - 1+0+1+1+0 for 5 frames,
it would be 1+0.2+0.6+0.5+0.1
-
ALL the tweaks! Care to share?
-
Perhaps Intel will refuse to sponsor an event where he is a participant. Or they'll twist the hosts arm to not include him in whatever contest, on threat of reduced support.

i Don't Think Fps Is Going Away Soon, Though. It's Way Too Easy To Use It As A Marketing Tool.
Qft.
Edit: Something's wrong with the quoting system, it changed the case on the first letter in all your words.

My CPU bad..
Air 1.42V 5G possible
I thought that was around average for a IVB chip.

What we'd really need is all framerate counters to know when Virtu MVP discards something and not count the discarded bits.
What we really need is a way of measuring GPU performance that isn't FPS. That's the underlying reality of what we're dealing with.

Just read the whole thread. Massman has it right this time: is the goal of the benchmark 'to render every frame' or 'to render a scene'.
A benchmark is used to emulate a real gaming scenario
In gaming, 'rendering a scene' is more important than 'rendering every frame'.
Thus the goal of a benchmark is to render a scene
Take the concept of Z-Culling in hardware. It discards part of the scene that doesn't need to be rendered because it is behind something else in the scene. MVP seems similar to this, but more in a 'you've already rendered that bit' type of scenario.
In the grand scheme of things, I'd say do it.
But it only strives to complicate HWBot more.
Plus, more excuses to bench everything again. Which is okay if you enjoy it - it'll provide another barrier to people interested doing casual benching at HWBot though ("Ugh, can't compete with my card because I'm not on Z77 or w/e")
What we need is a 2D GPU benchmark which MVP will not affect. That way if a rendering tech comes along like this, that benchmark scores will not be worried about.

Competitive Overclocking is like Drag Racing.
In Drag Racing you use unrealistic cars/machines that you'd never use on the road, tweaked to the hilt, to do the quickest 1/4 mile. It's a lesson in power, performance, and skill.
Competitive Overclocking is like Drag Racing for computers.

Epic TD, just epic.

Done submitting btw - and of course I ran just a little too few benchmarks to be able to beat Gamer, and make PURE pass the Russians:rolleyes:
I was going to say - USB stick failure in 3, 2, 1 ...
-
But you still post your global golds a day or two after me, eh?

Hi Winnah, welcome to the team! Unfortunately this submission doesn't follow the SPi rules
Please can you follow the rules at http://hwbot.org/news/879_application_7_rules/ which requires a couple more windows, and all the sub-times have to be visible for SPi. The HWBot section at Overclock.net forums are open if you need help -
A large amount of submissions is required to produce a reliable number. Not enough submissions for the 7970 yet.
For the 7970: http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/radeon_hd_7970/
Rating 0/100
Submissions: 1003
Take the 6870 X2: http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/radeon_hd_6870_x2/
Rating: 46/100
Submissions: 89
I still maintain it's a bug rather than an 'unreliable' number.
-
Issue with hardware index calculation. The top card worth 100/100 actually scores 0/100. Just check the 7970.
-
ES making big globals? Time to move to the Pro OC?
-
Fix:
10pts for a global with 10 or less submissions
20pts for 10-20 subs
30pts for 20-30 subs
40pts for 30-40
50pts for 40-50
60pts for 51+
The joy of that global in obscure hw combo should be the cup rather than the points.

Intel guarantees 1333 (or so), anything above is 'not guaranteed by Intel' or, in other words, partners' marketing jobbie.
X79/SBE is quad-channel 1600 supported, SB is dual-channel 1333. But you're right, anything above that is up to the manufacturer to support, used in marketing, etc

Asrock X79 Extreme9 unable to do 4 sticks on 2133 & 2400MHz G.skill ram 2T or 1T.
ASRock tell me the Extreme9 is only rated to 2400 in dual channel. I got 2133 to work in quad with a set of GSkills.

You need to submit this under SuperPi, not wPrime. However this is also invalid for SuperPi - you need version 1.5 XS mod for this submission to be valid.
