sorry i dont speak russian, could you please msg me in english mate
Highgertz don't worry friend, if you can on me and tell me how I can replicate your TW we can unblock your score Everyone has the chance to prove there scores are within hwbot rules in a confidential manner, if you have found a great tweak we will not share it
we are making decisions on sector sizes, RST and raid xpert right now official announcement as soon as we make decision, lots of factors to consider, i think its better to take a few days and make the right decision than regret it in a month
Stop bickering like kids, seriously, if you want to bitch create another thread
i generally just use 640, no i didnt actually see any difference in any value but will try push ram to the edge and see if i can replicate that dinos22
we are discussing the raid xpert stuff, for now its allowed but chances are it will be disallowed for future if raid xpert wasn't used and high virusscan/hdd we will be looking at it as requiring audit this will not impact any past competitions, the competition rankings and prizes from them will stand
okay guys, between the mods we have brought the WR back to acceptable levels, but we are still auditing scores as we go i am really disappointed that some people are still submitting and ignore what we have said about rule revisions, this isnt a game, keep violating the rules blatantly and you will receive more than blocked results
moose im removing all my scores back to 40k, i cant delete some and need to ask other moderators, as i previously said, clarified enough for you? its registry + scripting btw, i never used flash desktop
nice chip
oh and of course, the ie9 css is not allowed, there is really no difference between replacing the web files and doing that CSS, the benchmark is no longer rendering the data that it was designed to render, hence skewing the results, so just to clarify IE9 CSS is not allowed
registry tweaks are always allowed by default, thats the general unwritten rule, but some have been deemed to be disallowed over the years because they decieve the benchmark too much, such as mipmap i think we need to be understanding here, there can be no clear cut, one size fits all rule for benchmarking, there will always be anomolies, lets take LOD for example, registry based or file based in the latest nvidia drivers, it DOES impact the visuals of the benchmark and does impact the end score, but it has been universally acccepted as OK, this transparent window test, the whole point of the test is to see how fast those windows move across the screen, so by resizing or minimizing the windows you are decieving the benchmark and it does have a significant impact on the score, hence this is disallowed i think we need to keep in perspective here, like any "sport", rules arnt just there to set a solid line that can NEVER be changed, rules are also there to be changed over the lifetime of the sport to keep things fair for all involved, mate you have proven my point, by making that list of what is allowed/disallowed and answering nearly everything correctly, most benchers are smart, they can work out if something is allowed in the benchmark based on the two key rules, if not, we will be here to answer grey areas, but please don't expect instant answers, we/i want to do this right and at times that will mean lengthy discussions between hwbot staff
