Price/performance of Cryoclamp still sucks

Is there any reason why you run 119.1 BCLK with DDR3-2400 multi instead of 102.0 BCLK with DDR3-2800? End memory freq is still CPU/7, just wondering if it's any faster and/or more stable in your case.

Nice clocks on the card!

Big backup!

I guess competition points were updated across 2014, sometimes to insane values.

Finally, a score

+1. Mid-end chips like 1150 can still score globals in as many as thirteen categories (1M, 32M, PiFast, wPrimes, XTU, hwbot prime, Cinebenches, 01, 05, 06 and AM3) each of which brings no less than 100 globals for first. If you compare this to 5960X's global categories (wPrimes, XTU, hwbot prime, Cinebenches, 2/3/4-way non-legacy 3D), you'll see that most of them give less than 100 globals for first so in order to have a high league ranking a good 1150 still is and will be "a must". The only "negative" affect a proposed change will bring is that "one cpu wonders" will no longer be able to propell straight into top 3.

Don't want to sound like Ney, but there's no GPU-Z on the screenshot

Old ace of scarfs strikes again!

Also works the other way around - you can have photoshopped CPU-Z windows set as desktop background, open wrapper, get a score, take screenshot with the wrapper and it will look perfectly legit.

I'm not really a 3D guy so I might not understand the "full picture" but as an observer, I can't really see why WR points are necessary in Legacy 3D benchmarks, such as 01, 05, 06 and AM3. My arguments are: 1) These benchmarks are more or less CPU benchmarks now so giving WR points skews the whole user ranking (by up to 400 points) towards having one good CPU. 2) As far as I remember, the purpose of WR points was to reward "absolute max scores" in categories which weren't popular enough to deserve high globals (like 4-way SLI/CF of multisocket servers). This is clearly not the case (anymore) with the Legacies since all top scores are achieved on single-card setups and get plenty of globals. What do others think on the same topic?

Totally agreed that the results should not have been removed. Forcing everyone to only use the screenshot featured in the datafile does not add anything in terms of security, just makes life a lot harder since you can never be sure that important information is not overlapped over (i.e. screenshot and hence whole result "is ok") until you go online and submit.

Ehr, globals before the benchmark has actually been tested and approved by the community to be fully reliable?

I used an ASUS P5E64 WS Evo.

You decided to switch to the Enthusiast League?

People beat your scores => your scores have a lower ranking => you get less points.

mad chip! retail or USA?

What a CPU! Mind sharing the batch?

As far as I know, all competition points count towards the rank, without any restrictions.

You uploaded your hardware point scores few minutes ago. It takes the site a couple of hrs to update the point total

you better have backups

Monster score!

QYRB ES, batch Q713A707

If a 4790K does 6400 32M on air I'm scared to think what it can do on air/water

No backups, you've got this! ...although I still have my CPU.
