  1. DAMNIT Massman, don't reset my password on the main hwbot site instead of the forum, then reset my forum password when i finally get in, then post things under my account when its locked out and make me look like idiot

     

    lol

  2. After the "A0-fiasco" it is a legit point to speak about the ban of some certain ES that tend to yield way better MHZ than any other CPU.

     

    ...at some point people should be "pro-enough" to enter their scores on unavailable hardware without points...

     

     

    how about we ban any retails that are amazing too, like the ones stewie and you were playing with in the past? lets also ban mods to GPU, because after mods they are no longer available to buy from retail shops

     

    thats what the pro league is there for, so you can compete in whatever league you want and not complain for the sake of complaining

     

    just my 2c worth

  3. i think you guys might be surprised and E1 might be better,

     

    you have to remember for the samples that have been binned so far, a large portion are E0, compared to a small portion E1, so simple maths would tell us there is a far greater chance of finding better clocking chips in the large E0 part of the pie, compared to the tiny E1 slice

     

    A0-fiasco blah, the only thing A0 ended up being better at was 32m, retail chips came through and clocked great

  4. its amazing how crazy pcmark05 is going now, so many submissions,

     

    makes me really happy to see others are enjoying this bench as much as me, its becoming the new 3dmark01... don't need the best cpu to win, highly tweakable, scales with memory/cpu/gpu + storage, a great mix of elements

     

    and i dont want to hear any complains about needing good storage, because to win superpi you need an amazing CPU or to win 3D you need a great GPU, both expensive if you need to buy multiple pieces...

     

    good work guys, especially SteveRo and all the Greek benchers taking the lead from the original Mr PcMark dinos111

  5. i think all the arguments about new software versions of lucid giving performance increases are debunked, remember vga driver updates often give big boosts in scores and we dont ban them,

     

    i many reasons NOT to use Hydra, after all, scores eventually get passed, weather its by a new platform, betterh CPU, vga driver or some new tweak... not adopting something because we have to rebench to keep our points or ranking the same is certainly not a reason not to adopt something

     

    the one negative thing i do see as a possibility of MVP is taking GPU clocking slightly out of the equation,

     

    benchmarks like heaven that are totally GPU dependant arnt affected, they still scale nicely with gpu clocks and MVP, but other benchmarks like 3dmark03 perhaps, that are a nice balance of GPU and CPU get skewed more towards CPU and this could make benching even more dependant on having a good CPU

     

    i dont want to see a benching community where you can take world records with a single card on air if you have a better CPU, but at the same time i dont want to be leaving behind 30%-100% performance that we could potentially be gaining, so its still a hard call for me

     

    as a gaming prospect though it is simply amazing and a serious revolution for anyone considering building a gaming rig
