  1. I can relate to s@ position, when i first arrived i took many big records and was doing it with less clocks than most of the big guys at the time, i had alot of negative feedback and had to prove myself over and over again

     

    Im not defending his actions, but because he pushed the boundary in a few benchmarks doesnt mean his amazing 3d scores are invalid

     

    All you guys jumping on the ban wagon that were cheating at cine should take a good long look in the mirror

  2. I also dont know the circumstances with the cinebench situation other than how the cheat worked, however i tend to agree with some of the guys there questioning thr handling of that situation verses this

     

    Afaik, please correct me if im wrong, no bans were given during the cine situation, yet the manipulation of the benchmark was imho worse with files being replaced in that situation than x265 where its a timer issue, dont get me wrong, both are bad, but any time your editing files in yhe benchmark itself its as bad a cheat as you can get

     

    Im not calling for bans or no bans, honestly i dont care thr outcome, but i do call for consistency

     

    Even if it's not the case, we cant be seen to be giving leniency to more well known users in a more serious chesting case, and then immediately banning a lesser known user at the first chance we get

     

    Lets treat all hwbot users equally

  3. this happens because XTU isn't even a real benchmark, i been saying this for years

     

    i appreciate there is a component of XTU that is a benchmark, but I get the impression the measured CPU MHz is included in the benchmark calculation

     

    we have seen repeatedly over the life of XTU, when the GHz measurement is off, the score is skewed and this issue keeps coming up

     

    we were playing with this during country cup and were able to almost skew any score we wanted by fiddling with that realtime, but there is always the telling factor of the GHz measurement being wrong

     

    in my long standing opinion, XTU should be removed from pointed/competition benchmarks until Intel revise the mathematics behind it. it may be to give some sort of "efficiency" calculation, which im all for, but it shouldn't impact on the score at all

  4. people are allowed to bench together though, matt may or may not have made that result if he benched alone

     

    this is country cup, the whole idea is to get together as a team, share ideas, share knowledge and work together

     

    at our event we continually had pros like sniper, bobnz and dino helping less experienced overclockers achieve results they never would have on their own at home

     

    this is what country cup is all about and for me thats what makes it the best competition of each year
