    I have dissected wPrime months ago and decided that it can't be rescued. It's an awful benchmark written in Visual Basic 6 with so many flaws, that it would be easier to just write a new benchmark. I recommend to let this one rest in peace.

    Is the plan to just remove benches which you can't 'secure'?

    I would love not needing cpuz or gpuz anymore. Imagine all the noobs that just gave up after not having the proper cpuz tabs up and having results blocked.

    Then they're no loss to the community of that's enough to out them off? Haha (kinda joking)

     

    So the idea is this would require continual funding?

    In hindsight I shouldn't have agreed to do this as it turned out I didn't have any time, and yes I set up some things wrong, and then got things wrong when moderating.

     

    Leeg is trying to salvage things, I just did a simple if not valid no good, a lot of people took valid just to mean not lod etc.

    I hadn't noticed the system info issues as I assumed 3dmark valid required latest system info again my bad.

    If we want to follow the rules as written that's fine, just mean a lot more removed scores I believe, which seems a shame for a fun comp.

    This was meant to be a fun comp, and so there can be flexibility, trying to give those who entered some voice, being rude isn't going to help anyone.

    Thanks @Leeghoofd

    Mixture of not having any time at the moment and not being super familiar with more recent 3dmark validation has resulted in this confusion.

    I just took valid to be all good, whereas it looks like you can get a valid score with an older systeminfo, but that's not valid according to hwbot rules which I missed.

     

    I'm happy going with whatever those who took part would rather, lenient or strict moderation. LOD/drive settings changed are a no, but letting processor not recognised, unverified driver etc pass is fine with me, although in general I would say in the future, if a comp says a valid link is required, make sure your link says valid to avoid as many issues as possible.
