  1. You might as well gut/close this thread.

    What,somebody wants to spend all that time learning to bench 4 chips for hw points?

    + spend $$ on an Areca 1882ix at least + 3-8 ssds.

    No new chips will ever get a decent amount of PcMark HW points.

    I used to make a muscle every time the bob80 kicked in.

  2. 1. Wrapper's there in its unfinished state, but it's a circle-jerk like the 'antivirus-virus' situation. Not worth the time.

    2. You can only do so much. Would you like to have your PM full by requests to check this-other-guy-I-hate-because-he-stole-my-gold-cup scores?

    3. That's because around here people don't judge one's 'skill' based on HWP, but WR and GL. How many news on Sam or Knut, and how many on 8pack & co?

    Also, I bet you can count on one hand the amount of CPUs that can rack up big HWP in this lame-o-benchmark.

     

    Indeed you can now..I'm struggling for 4 :/ ..and the newest one is 2600K.

    Just to list the ones with any meaningful points I can think of:2600k,i7 920,q6600.

    That's no fun.Well..options are very limited.

    The other one is 980x! :D

  3. I see no need in PCMark05 globals anymore. How do you feel if you ran your CPU at 6Ghz on LN2 and get beaten by a person running at 4Ghz on air?

    Sure you bought your super RAID controller and a bunnyextraction loads of SSDs. Than you tweak the crap out of the registry, explorer and co to get it pumping out scores which are not even remotely OC related.

     

    In all honesty PCMark05 has turned out to be more of a software benchmark rather than a benchmark that reflects the OCing potential of the hardware...

    Hence why the bot had to do something to rectify it...

     

    C'mon there's so much more hardware to have fun on, not even costing much. Just scam Ebay and have fun...

     

    The benchmarks you mention need also some sort of tweaking software and driver wise... however they will not pump out so highly "bugged" scores as your PCMark05. And if you OC your gear it will become directly apparent...

     

    It doesn't need to be high end to have fun... if you are in just for Globals start to cash out as you need to remain competitive with modern hardware. If it all is getting too serious and you lie awake because the admin removed the globals, buy a fishing rod and relax at a lake with a few brewskis...

     

    Your opinion of PcMark has been known for years. ;)

    You said something to that effect 2 years ago :P

    What I would be "scamming" ebay for would be older GPUs

    and for older GPUs guess what? you have to run the legacy 3d benchmarks.

    ...which you guys are planning to axe next.

    So I'd be buying a gpu..modding it.

    buying cold juice..running the bench

    then whoops..no more globals for that bench, either.

    so there's really no point (s). :rolleyes:

    (I really don't know much 3d)

    I was about to start..but after seeing how the rumors come true around here..

    Homie ain't playing that.

    Enthusiasm=gone.

  4. That's ok..you sponsored guys just have your little circle-jerk fest.

    I buy my own hardware.

    ..of which about $900 worth was just made useless by this action.

    I notice the only 2 older pieces of hardware on front page today are Splave and Wizerty with 4870s running Aquamark.

    ..which you guys are looking to axe next.

    way to go.

    The reason people don't play Pcm05 much is that there's a steep learning curve.

    You can't just OC and expect competitive results,you have to read the tweaking thread and ask around as well.

    There's no reason to run Pcm05 now except on old,old stuff..

    No sense in running it on 4790K ..only worth 2 boints...even though that could a WR possible.

    I do have a q6600, I suppose I'll try on that before I sell all the gear and clean my HDD of Pcmark images.

    Like I said,I'm going to sell it all and buy me a nice system.

    buy..that is.

    PS:There's no new,good benchmarks to replace it.For that matter there are no new good benchmarks.(maybe the 3d futuremark ones)

    Catzilla is awful,XTU..eh..s'ok..HWbotprime..eh..s'ok

    but the PCmarks have been really terrible since '05

    You know how many views MOA had last time I checked? 61

    and the numbers go down..around here.bet..

  5. So you admit that you do it just for the global points?

    I see a controversy in your post. You say "all for a bit of fun" at first, but then "What's the point?".

    What stops you now?

    As I see it - the lack of global points :P.

     

    That is correct.After buying 5 CPUs to bin for 1 benchmark.

    Yeah;The lack of Global single core points is what stops me.

    No motivation.What..I spent hours of setting up,binning 145s, and buy LN2 for 6-7 Hardware points? I don't think so.

    Yes,I buy certain 1-2-3-4-5-6 core chips just for Pcmark.

    well,not anymore I guess.

    Because there's no point in it.

    Run GTX 980s on the latest enthusiast platform or you might as well just hang it up around here.

    Tell ya what.

    I'm not happy I spent hours and hours learning how to do a benchmark to have this happen.

    It's not worth all that.Furthermore it's uncalled for.

    Cater to your 980 gtx running fly-by-night crowd.

    Genieben knows the ins and outs of Pcm05 and could spot cheating in a second.

    I was going to buy a 4790K for 4-core..pointless now.It's just that much taken out of the game.

    Enjoy XTU :rolleyes:

    cuz you know..Like using your 32m settings on it is all you have to do :/

    Where's the AMD version of boint-heavy XTU-type benches?

    Nowhere to be found.

    It's called shooting yourself in the foot.

    A word to anyone who reads this: Don't spend time learning the ins and outs of any benchmark on HWbot;because the points for it can get disabled at any given time on a whim,so the whole thing is pointless.

    Next up on the chopping block is legacy 3d.

    Heads up.

    The overclocking community is small enough as it is,and you guys are just shrinking it.

  6. Please dont blame der8auer, blame me instead, I am the one that removed global points for this benchmark.

    We did not remove the benchmark, only removed global points, you can still bench and submit pcmark05 results. Hardware points haven't been removed either.

     

    Why would you do that after we voted?

    I have a RAID + OS Crosshair V setup for pcm05 + Sempron 145.

    There's no point in even getting LN2 and running it now.

     

    Disincentivisation is not good for keeping people motivated to use this site.

     

    So,even though a vote was taken,who cares what was voted?

  7. It's a crime that even though we all voted to keep Pcm05 globals.

    ..and thought it was all settled..

    that someone decided "hey f-u-c-k you guys,I'm taking away globals for Pcm05 "

    They are gone.

    You spend hours learning a benchmark,buy the best RAID card you can,4 ssds that you never use..all for a bit of fun.

    Looping Pcmark for hours just to get everything to kick in right like you know it can.

    ..and it was fun

    Then some one person decides he doesn't want that..nevermind what other people want.

     

    PcMark05 was one of the most fun benches there was.

    a)You had to know the tweaks

    b) You could run it on any CPU

    c) You did need some specific hardware to excel at it.

     

     

    You can ban me or whatever.

     

    I'm about to quit.

    What's the point?

    People have thousands of dollars tied up in hardware for the bench and this one guy (even though we voted last month ago to keep ) does away with globals for Pcm05.

     

    There's no point in continuing on here.

    This is how I feel about this.

    I'm just going to sell all I had for benching,buy a nice system and forget HWbot.

     

    Why do I have a RAID card? Pcm05

    Why do I have 4 SSDs I never use? Pcm05

    Why do I have this chip or that chip? Pcm05

     

    Cutting down benches people like is NOT the way to attract people to this hobby.
