K404

This! A good CPU in a capable board is a good CPU.... but without comparison, it has little context or meaning...... maybe that awesome showcase mobo is actually holding it back from being better still!

<5.5GHz doesn't count, unless the MHz are better than on any other board

You kinda are.... or at least implying it. It *is* kinda weird that a bunch of overclockers with good GT would suddenly abandon all benchmarks bar CPU-Z.....

7GHz Gulftown is nice, but only worth 49.9 hardware points Conspiracy theory: X58A-OC has weak PWM and can't handle wP/ Vantage.

Well..... nice idea in theory Don't we see this every day? "Mortals" posting up their results with gear they've bought themselves? I'm not against the idea, just not entirely sure what the "point" is.... get the big names to go out and buy their own gear? "Honor/ honour" is more than saying "no" if a marketing person asks you to spend half an hour on CPU-Z in exchange for a better working relationship/ hardware supply feed.

That IS sweet! Congrats bro!

ok, gimme a sec... i'll get my mates K401, K402, K403 and Bob to sign up

Burn! Could you explain to Futuremark how to not be like Futuremark, please? Nice idea that there's a "holding group" before belonging to any league at all

Yay! Looks much easier to interpret now. I get 25 hardware results shown, not 20.... but better seeing all the relevant ones + extra instead of not enough The # of participants for each league is off..... either that or HWB has trimmed the user database and theres only 3861 users total I'm loving the page for a benchmark submission where it shows the global and hardware result/ranking along with the scores on either side

More points is meaningless if everyone has the same opportunity for more points..... It's about rewarding a very popular benchmark where great results still turn heads.

Innnnnntttteeeerrrreeeessssstttiiiinnnngggggg *strokes chin, thoughtfully* Thanks!

Not sure if this IS how it looks... but is the test server set in a such a way that a user can be awarded global points more than once for the same benchmark? My AM3 1x GPU and 2x GPU are both in my best 15 scores.... Should the best 15 global scores get points.... or scores from the best 15 different benchmarks?

Who cares about SB? The ES Vs retail debate will keep going with every architecture.... EVERY time ES is better than retail.... until a decision is made. Binned ES is the pinnacle of suckleware.... it should be left for the Pro league at best.

IMHO i'd be happier seeing Unigine DX9 getting no points and i'd love CPU-Z to get global points back 3DMark11... not fussed which (one) preset gets points, but I hope it is deemed ready for points at some stage soon RAM and Reference clocks... hardware points is ok

They were thinking about you Karl, so you had more categories to own :D

Now I can navigate to the benchmark global leaderboards (could be simpler)..... I see its ranked as: Hardware - Results - User - Team - score - points IMHO, hardware and results should be beside the score, not separated by the user and team Would "results" be better if renamed to "MHz"?

It would be nice to see CPU-Z back with global points It's also the one cheap global leaderboard. Is it because the best scores (Netburst) aren't relevant now compared to SB, GT?

Not sure if so much emphasis on hardware is good for the Enthusiast league... popular old stuff is more valuable than good current scores Does the test server have options to search through each benchmark for global scores? I can't see it For global leaderboards, is everyone in together, or is there a separate leaderboard for Pro, OC and Enthus?

Ignoring any algorithm stuff and commenting on feedback..... Individual user page: Team doesn't need to be listed for every result... of course one user is in one team. I'm guessing its a table template, I know why it looks like that, but can the template be tweaked for the individual user page? Points : WR, Global, HW... please can each be spaced out? At the mo, it's 10.5+10.8+10.2 If top 15 global scores affect user ranking, could be table be set to display the top 15 results instead of the top 10? Worldwide ranking: xx of xxxxx.... this needs to have a mention of the league. Yea, this is small, anal stuff..... but from a very quick 1st look, it's what i'm thinking. Do I like R4? Tell you in 6 months if my rankings hold up

My best ever is 131.9 980x @ 6214, 4GHz uncore, part-bricked GTX580 @ 950-1148. I need/ want a new GTX580. I've learned a few things since I last benched global This is why i'm so impressed by D_F..... mad efficiency skills. L-O-L

zOMG! 157FPS in GT2!

LOL the first score you linked to... it should have been about 200 points higher than the score shown.... DOUBLE FAIL! Also his 39912 score.... should have been over 40.5K facepalm

"I need to order 40T transporter for hardware" I'm not even sure if you're kidding!
