    Clarification in PCMark'05 about Tweaks // Tricks allowed

    in Benchmark software

    Posted · Edited by SteveRo

    Put the two, powered by the AMD 12.8 raid driver at zero points, awaiting moderation...

     

    Massman has all the test results, conclusion : it is all in the format of the RAID setup... so if you can achieve it like Steve previously mentioned, with another soft it becomes sort of legal then ?

     

    Good Morning Master Leeghoofd - also for Mister's Pro and Sweet,

     

    I don't believe changing HDD sector size should be legal because it tricks the pcm05 benchmark into thinking the HDD subtests ran faster than it really did.

     

    The amd raid expert s/w isn't the only way to do this, it can be done easily with any setup amd or intel.

     

    To do this requires only one ssd - easy to get 9500+MB/s on just about anything except for 1x core - simply by increasing the drive sector size.

     

    For this reason I think we should NOT allow it.

    Can you talk to the guy that bought my Areca 1882IX and 5x maxiops to give it back to me for the $1500 I sold it for? Ya, I took a $1K loss on that when the tweaks got crazy and I bailed on PCM05. :D

     

    I'm kidding about getting it back. The clarification is good, and I think it will give PCM05 a fighting chance.

     

    I feel your pain, I've sold four of my acards - can someone talk to the buyers and get them back for me? Oh, well. :)

    Not by now, maybe in the future, wait a few days by this. we being defined at this time the massive increase in this subtest (transp win)

     

    We are defining the many gray areas that have the PCMark, which is totally unsafe.

     

    But if you consider that a hack usstes to improve the final result (which is not allowed) and also the final score is very bulky for hardware that you have used, better remove.

     

    You SteveRo and I.M.O.G like S_A_V and anothers guys who were the best in this benchmark, by the hardware used, know what is right or wrong. you are the real Master of PCMark. You were the ones who always defended the continuation of this benchmark

     

    You know much more than me on this topic (always inside overclocking) I've learned to run this benchmark with cold, and another stuff, thanks to you, I.M.O.G and S_A_V :)

     

    Btw. we have removed the scores from the day 19.10.2012 which use the Text edit Tweak (cheat with script w/ .rft file in blanck ) only, try other than validated those ridiculous scores that were uploaded since that day, scores greater than 100,000 marks with microprocessor stock. That's totally ridiculous and difficult to defend by those who use the tweaks to trick overclockers.

     

    Good morning Mr. Sweet, The TW tweak that I was using was using non-OS s/w to minimize the transp. windows. Is this an illegal tweak? Not sure. All of my submissions since 09May used this tweak and I will delete them when so directed.

     

    edit - PM'd Master Pro with the tweak for his assessment.

    Moose you and the others guys who have used these cheats know what is right and what is wrong in each submission made .

     

    Flash 2 Desktop "by now" isnt allowed, in the staff no conclusions about this :)

     

    Looking for clarification Mr. Sweet: For many of my most recent submissions I have used non-OS s/w that helps TW. Is all non-OS s/w now disallowed? Iometer ok for limiting xp startup?
