    validation number for Wprimes benchmarks

    in Benchmark software

    Posted

    Hello guys,

     

    just to stay in the same mood...

     

    There is a validation number for Wprimes benchmarks, same as super pi.

     

    Because of cheating and problems with the validation number of super pi scores, Hwbot asks for big screenshots when we want our scores to be validated.

     

    The validation number of Wprimes doesn't give any information about the material used.

     

    I think it should be better (more fair play and all that stuff) if Wprimes scores were validated by others informations, such as CPU-Z screenshot (CPU, memory, etc.) as for the others benchmark in fact.

     

    What do you think about it?

    Moderation of results

    in Submission & member moderation

    Hi all,

     

    I have been moderated some of my results, because of the lack of CPU-Z memory screen. This was done on small processors or graphic cards such as pentium 4 s478 or geforce 6200.

     

    I understand that when a rule is applied, all the components have to be treated equally.

    A rule is a rule and with Sarkozy in our country I know what I'm talking about...

     

    Just wanted to say that I found unfair that my scores have been deleted when others can keep their Wprime results only by the validation number.

     

    What means the validation number of Wprime? Does it refers to a rig? Where can I find the corresponding material used?

     

    Also, it sounds unfair for me that "small giving-points results" are so strickly moderated as "high giving-points results". I know that no one but me has to be blamed for my deleted results, but I think that sometimes moderation has to be smoothed.

     

    If I miss anything, please just tell me.

    Hi all,

     

    I just wanted to know why the HelpCenter is so permanently full of requests.

     

    Does it work fine or does it cost a lot of time for the crew to make new categories?

     

    I'm not telling that the crew is not doing its job and I can imagine how hard it is to maintain updated such a big database, but I was just wondering...

    I don't know much about the technical aspects for the connection between the two GPU on the 3870X2 board but in CPUs the connection between two cores (as in a C2D) is diferent from the connection between two CPU sockets on a motherboard or not? Or it's just shorter?

     

    If we put 3870X2 boards (and the futures multi GPU graphic cards) in the CF/SLI ranking don't we take the risk of having - in the future - no new card in the single card ranking?

    r1ch;15595']Fair enough :)

     

    I don't think people have kind of understood the intentions of the poll...far too many references to C2D's and C2Q's which is a completely wrong comparison.

     

    Dual cores and Quad cores are built as a single package on a single socket. The 3870X2 is in my eyes a dual socket card' date=' with two 'sockets' allowing for two seperate GPUs. Yes, technically the card uses one slot.

     

    [/quote']

     

    You are making a mistake, aren't you?

     

    If in your eyes the 3870X2 is a dual socket card why the Intel quad core shouldn't be a dual socket too? It's not a native quad core it's only two dual cores juxtaposed...

    The comparison between multicore CPUs and multicore GPUs is completely valid, because the GPU is living now the evolution the CPU has already known.

     

    The only reason why people care about the ranking of this 3870X2 is its scores in benchmarks, there is no real other reason.

     

    Like I've already said it's only evolution of our material. The crossfire ou sli won't be dead, when both the firms (Nvidia/AMD) will spread their dual gpu card on the market. You still can plug two 3870X2 cards in your motherboard.

     

    Regards.

    I voted for Single Card ranking.

     

    I think that the fact that there are two GPUs on this card is the evolution of the material. Dual Core CPUs are becoming the minimum configuration and the same thing will happen for graphic cards.

     

    There is no difference in the ranking between single core CPUs, dual core CPUs and quad core CPUs ; Wprimes, and 3Dmark06 are dominated by people who own a more than quad core CPU solution. This will be like this until octo core solution arrive.

     

    For the HD3870X2, it's the same thing, they are on the top of the ranking, but just before that, Geforces 8800 were at the top level. The ranking will evolve by its own when new graphic cards will arrive. CF of HD3870X2 exists so I think we have to consider that we can't do less than one HD3870X2 so it have to be considered as a single card solution.

     

    Regards.
