  1. jmke, it is still inaccurate and different than if he bought two NV/ATI cards to ONLY post in SLI, because he is using different cores. Again you are also not looking at the fairness issue, which is that their are two routes to achieving hwboints. It is fine if you are only benching for global hwboints, but these cards will never be getting anything under that route. Benching with an onboard GPU is rewarding a person multiple times for having the same piece of hardware. This is just going to encourage people to buy Hybrid SLI motherboards to get double the hardware points... If that's the way the system works, then that's what I will do. Nothing personal. I saw you were asking for direction earlier about Hybrid SLI. There may be others in the same situation.
  2. jmke, the two main issues I have with Hybrid SLI / CrossfireX: 1. Inaccurate: HWbot shows this as 2 x G84 cores when it is really 2 mixed cores. This also goes against the rule about "emulating" other cards. 2. Unfair: Awarding them double the points for every nVidia / ATI card they own. There are two paths for gaining points in hwbot: *Collecting global hwboints through overclocking the latest hardware *Collecting hardware hwboints by benching with legacy hardware In most cases, there will be few results with legacy hardware and almost none using SLI. This damages the legacy hardware path, by giving the person double the points for every nVidia card they own, for almost zero performance improvement.
  3. Ticket ID: 361 Priority: Low These scores should be banned from reporting or until the feature is added. Users reporting these under “SLI” would be falsely reporting this because it is NOT 2 x cores of the same type (i.e. 2 x G84)\r\nExample: http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=859532 and all his other benchmarks\r\n\r\nHybrid SLI should be banned outright from hardware hwboints, because it creates two extra scores for too many nonsense combinations. A GTX295 paired with any nVidia onboard solution would take the top score everytime. Even worse, if you decide to award hwboints for every discrete card paired with an onboard solution, you would have to have a new Hybrid SLI category for every card and motherboard out there. Practically, Hybrid SLI also adds almost nothing to performance.
