  1. Pieter i`m unable to upload scores in the AGP stage.

    got that error :

     

    java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "100,101,102,103"

     

    can you look @ that please. Thx

    I have the same issue. At first thought I did something wrong but after 2 days of trying with the same error in the AGP Stage only I figure something is wrong.

    Thank you

  2. Apparently my choice to remove it makes me an un-popular guy on my team now.:(

    Not true, Everyone is entitled to have their own feelings n opinions. Youre still my hero :P.

    But honestly; what bench mark can be 100% moderated & kept in check cleanly, honestly & correctly? None. So to remove PcMark05 because it can not be moderated you might aswel make a list of the other benchmarks that can not be moderated 100%

    There will ALWAYS be a way to TWEAK ANY Benchmark. May it be with hardware or software. Like putting 2 SSD in raid "0" and using it as your page file instead of the NORMAL c-drive or using memset to tighten ram timings, or flashing your GPU bios to another for possibly better shadder performance or using the various OS for different bench runs with or with out Service Packs. Its ALL TWEAKS. The manipulation of ANY bench mark happens the moment you ADJUST ANYTHING in your system including OCing (that is a TWEAK too) but the definition of LEGAL TWEAK n ILLEGAL CHEAT is in the eye of the person that is able to and not able to do it. And to some degree willing or not willing to spend the money on high priced components needed.

    I am in no way justifying cheating, but what is REALLY cheating? Photo shopping your results is definitely cheating, using IE9 or Google Chrome instead of 8 is not.

    NO one here can say what the TRUE number on what your setup will do in a benchmark because of ALL the many many various settings one has on their individual rigs outside of leaving it at STOCK speed n settings. Everyone's combination of hardware is different and the results will be too. Some by a little some by a lot. But who is to say what the RIGHT result should be?

    Look at it, this is a world wide community of computer hardware & software enthusiasts, and everyone has different components. some have WAY more knowledge than others some have WAY more hardware than others but are all still under the same umbrella trying to learn/figure out how to get it to run cooler, faster, higher and so-on with hardware (LN2, Volt modding, etc)and/or software (memset, msi afterburner, etc)...Thats the bottom line.

    I vote keep it.

  3. TWEAK or CHEAT, Everyone has their own understanding of just what that is and what should be allowed and not. And as stated earlier here when someone cant figure out how someone else got such a high score in an area they automatically want an investigation done because they cant get such good scores and don't know why. So now because of soo many "I cant get that score - he/she is doing something illegal" crys, you wanna now consider removing a bench mark. There are many TWEAKS known and still more unknown, but for me my understanding is with a bench mark it is to get your system/component (CPU or GPU or RAM or HD) to perform faster and above manufacturer specification and not how it will run under NORMAL everyday configuration. So wouldn't it be a form of MANIPULATING a benchmark to perform faster the moment you start to OC your 2ghz cpu to 3ghz? Oh wait, that's an ALLOWED TWEAK. Sounds simple minded I know and I may have it wrong but my point is the DEFINITION of ILLEGAL TWEAK is what BOT Staff say it is. I understand not everyone whats to drop $hundreds on a hd setup just to get better score with XP start up or HD Usage, but you'll spend $800 on a GPU so you can get higher 3DMark 06/05 runs, or who knows how much on SS/Cascade/LN2 so you can get a high CPUZ. Not every bench is for Everyone, you work the bench you feel you're best at. EVERY benchmark can be manipulated/tweaked one way or another if its by a small degree or by a large one. If that is the case than what is the point of OCin/Benchmarking if every time some unknown tweak or system adjustment is used or made by some one its considered bad because they got a higher score. I dont know anything about this Powertoys & MIPS & LOD and a bunch of other stuff that has been mentioned but, OCin is OCin = make it go faster/higher... Period

    I have a INTEL CONFIDENTIAL Pentium 4 2.8 GHZ Engineering sample (QJ23), I am trying to figure out what area to submit it in, if any. Here is all the info I have on it. It shows up as a s478 but it is a 775 cpu it is in my Rampage and shows that way under XP, Vista & WIN 7. It is also a locked cpu at 14x not like the other 2.8's

    I dont know how to embed an image here for you to view, thats why I gave a link to my pics above. Let me know if you need something else.

    Thank you for any/all your help.

    I looked up the Geforce2 MX400 but I am very confused as to where to submit mine.\r\nWhat I found were:\r\n\r\nGeForce2 MX400 32MB\r\nGeForce2 MX400 64MB\r\nGeForce2 MX400 64MB DDR 64bit\r\nGeForce2 MX400 64MB SDR 64bit\r\nGeForce2 MX400 64MB SDR 64bit PCI\r\nGeForce2 MX400 DDR 32bit\r\nGeForce2 MX400 PCI...\r\n\r\nBut when I checked the various submissions they are different from mine. My card is a 32MB SDR 64BIT AGP 4X. \r\nCould you please let me know the correct one to submit it in or add it if it is not here.\r\n\r\nGPUZ: http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/krryp/\r\nCPUZ: http://valid.canardpc.com/show_oc.php?id=1901797\r\nThank you for your time...

  6. Thank you to all Bot staff for the time you put into examining my situation and I can respect the reason for the final word. Not that I like it :(. Would have been nice to have been able to keep it, but it is what it is.

    Thank you to everyone for your support; and thank you to the nay sayers you have given me yet one more reason why to push even harder ;)

    Again thank you... Now where is that 521??? LOL
