    Rant: Sandbagging

    in Offtopic

    Posted

    "My backup is bigger than your backup" should be our motto ;)

     

    Sandbagging isn't fun when you are a victim, but just like fester said - it's a strategy. It doesn't break games rules and it is a bit harder to compete with someone if you don't know his numbers. During contests - if you see someone monster score, cause he found a golden cpu/card you can mobilize and try to find better and beat him, buy more parts, tests more tweaks and so on but with sandbagging sometimes you think that you are safe, you had won a competition but in fact in last few minutes it appears someone beat you, it can be frustrating but we have to live with that, in fact when everyone is sandbagging - it isn't a problem anymore lol, cause no one knows their results until the end

    Should global points on CPU/GPU get a tune up?

    Points should be based on popularity factor (already in "what to add/fix in next revisions" list), not on scaling factor.

     

    Scaling factor is not constant, it is based on current (latest) gen CPU/GPU performance, OS and drivers support, benchmark settings, etc.

    What if today we "improve" points for current situation with scaling and tomorrow next gen CPU (IB-E for example) will make better scaling for 3/4-way configurations, then we will need another improvement?

     

    Hwbot point system already a bit too complex. Adding another 1-2 variables in calculation algorithm may slow down database server and make point system more hard to understand.

     

    Agree, during Gulftown era 4x 5870 or 2x 5970 was the way to go in 3d03,3d05,06, aquamark or heaven
