As a side note, can you try to ensure the clocks are correct in the screenshot? Looked like you were only running 2000Mhz Mesh.

It was the super high int that seemed weird, higher than 5.8 chips running w10?

That's one heck of an update ?

Crazy score for the clocks, how comes integer perf is so high?

Yesssssss ?

Don't think this is productive

If you want to get points in those categories then yes. With unusual core counts, a new release can result in relatively easy too scores, and as there's a sharp increase for the top spots, you can end up with a large number of points per score. Global points are done per core count for multithreaded benchmarks, so the fact the r15 is less doesn't matter. Compare 1st with 20 cores to 1st with 4, 1st with 4 is worth more despite is being a much lower score. Money has always played a role in hwbot, one that's difficult to remove. There are still plenty of points to be had without needing the latest and greatest hw

You're comparing global and hardware points. Global points often require newer/more expensive hardware as you're being compared to all hardware of that 'type'. The fastest ever score in a benchmark with any 4 GPUs, is given more points than the fastest score in a benchmark with 4 specific GPUs as you're competing against more people. As you can see by the hardware points given on each score.

Points are based on the popularity of a benchmark with a sharp increase for the top scores. Not really sure what you're complaining about?

Epic. No setup pics though :(

Ok this isn't helping anything or anyone, the original issue has been raised and will hopefully be sorted soon.

Killer work recently!

As a side note, if you're injecting a different timer, doesn't that count as modifying the benchmark and therefore isn't it cheating in itself?

I would want to avoid having more different rulesets depending on os, hw used etc than we already have. Having benchmate subs have different rules to others doesn't sound like a good idea to me

Great to see you back benching again!

Doesn't cost anything, and potentially makes things easier to see what version etc

Done

I'm all for it allowing new AMD to run on w10 etc. So if stuff can technically run w7 but is way slower, benchmate has to be used, making old records even more difficult to beat?

Killer chip

We don't need another cinebench surely yeesh. And if people want to start over with the rankings they may as well do it elsewhere, rather than get rid of everything hwbot already has? Have some permanent separate rankings for benchmate for people to try it out etc sure why not. I just don't see the point in pushing it for being necessary when the xp and dropping benchmarks issues remain.

Unless you've changed your mind about xp support then I don't see how benchmate would ever work as always needing to be used. If anything if you're wanting to change a bunch of benches, change the way benches are run, uploaded etc, then sounds like you just want a new benchmark site

Managed to have a quick look through, sorry for being so absent. The standings look correct, being lenient on rules due to participation and the standings wouldn't have changed regardless. Congratulations to all who took part, hopefully next time I'll be able to be more active! If I've missed anything please let me know!

Epic work, KP who? ??

I believe that's intended behaviour, could argue that submissions that don't follow the rules shouldn't be there at all? But yeah at the moment it doesn't really work.

Apologies! Yes I'll go through them tonight.
