sf3d can not be relied upon to make such statements or decisions as he is way to involved with sponsors and the existing ranking system

what would be the point of a single gpu ranking system without points? when 3x sli came in you managed to put up a ranking in a month if hwbot needs funding to pay coders to do the work for a single gpu ranking system i am 100% sure i could raise the money required this would remove the burden on RB to do it as he has limited time

why is it you are so resistant to a single GPU 3D class jmke? you would need to be blind not to see there is a place for such a ranking @ hwbot is there some other reason why you would not want a single GPU ranking is hwbot payed to suppress such a ranking by the manufacturers i ask as i am at a loss to understand your position

dude if you have nothing to say connected with the topic then keep it to your self

back on topic 14 month ago i could bench a single GPU card and be ranked in the top ten today if i bench a single gpu 280gtx in vantage the highest position i can achieve is 119th which is (second for the card so a good score) and receive 6 points all the cards in front of me are hybrids benching hybrids is not only more expensive around 30% more for the card but 250$ for another pot as you either need 2x pots with ATI or with nvidia a new pot that fits the new configuration every time they bring out a new hybrid card and 2x the ln2 benching a 280gtx or 4870 single (GPU) is by far the cheapest and easiest way to take part in global rankings it may well be very difficult to setup a new group for hybrids or single GPU but i see no other way these cards may share a single slot but they do not share the same performance by a long way how can i compete when the closest i can get it 119th to the top ten

from our leader 1 year and 9 days ago this never happened the hybrids have just gotten even more powerful the manufactures are not going to stop making the hybrids and there has been one at the top of the single cards rankings now for a year it must be time to give the single gpu back its own ranking

you seem a little uneasy at the thought of a new poll jmke last time it was said that in 6 moths time there would be a single gpu that could take on the hybide cards and here we are 1 year later and the hybrid cards are now faster then 2 single gpu cards run the poll again and we will see if minds have changed and i will shut up for another year

and this time let me word the pole and set the categories

hold a new pole now i Dare You see if its the same now 1 year later

why should single gpu benching be treated like a sub class of bencher ? with only a few points is that all we deserve for all the work we put into benching these cards until these mutant hybrid cards infested the single card rankings we had a very completive single gpu ranking system single gpu cards are much cheaper then hybrid cards that alone would be a good enough reason to have a single gpu ranking system

hwbot has forgotten its roots the very people that made this site are now being pushed out by big money there was a time when this site supported the basic bench er it is a great shame

with the current Globle finance problems there has never been a better time to introduce a single GPU ranking system the cards are cheap compared to the hybrid dual GPU units i have single 4870,280gtx,9800gtx sitting here and they are going to wast as there are no points for benching them how are we to hold our teams together when hwbot will only except the most expensive hybrid cards for global points come on hwbot you have to find away of supporting the cash strapped 3D bench er i want to compete @ a global level but do not want to put down £450 to do it single GPU would return me and many others here to 3D benching

thanks jmke

i am unsure here whats up with this score it was done with 1.55 it is the only version i have and was submited on line ok

the new stats are very nice feature well done

To all the teams @ Hwbot and the Staff here for all there hard work thanks baz

hi phil ya points will drop naturally as others run the same benchmark and get better scores you have to keep doing the runs as others take on your scores

Christmas will be a good time for the battle as we have a good holiday here in the UK good luck

he looks a bit like you

thanks lads

can we use any os to run benchmarks or are some not aloud thanks baz

is there reason why a new global category cannot be set up for single GPU cards i mean technically ? edit : i have an idea if it could be done and i could get enough sponsors to support a single gpu global category, manufacturers and private funding to cover the costs of the setup for hwbot would that help SF3D your mind should be more open to the needs of others here @ Hwbot there are many as shown in the last poll that would like to bench only against 1x gpu cards

i know we have been over this 4 months ago and a poll showed at that time 2x gpu would be grouped with 1x gpu or cards would be defined by how many slots they needed to work but some time has passed and we have seen the new generation 1x gpu cards and they just cannot beat the older generation 2x gpu cards there are many of us that would like to compete with single gpu cards and get the full amount of global points for our efforts can we not separate out the 2x gpu cards from the 1x gpu cards baz

tbh i dont think they care this is all about showing what foxconn can do if they want too foxconn have been making m/b for many of the top companys out there for years but without there name on the product
