Lets assume that only top-end hardware is the subjwect of this... Why would anyone want to rise to the top of the rankings with other peoples gear? Wheres the satisfaction in making the decisions on what to buy, in finding good chips etc etc Its not just about the best bscores, its about doing the best with what you have. What if you break someone elses cherry CPU by mistake? Its not really a practical approach to benching. Benching only for points shouldnt be why we do this. Its an unhealthy attitude.

D'OH! Thanks Karl Another example of me not paying attention!

If there a way to find out the exact number of ppl registered here, total submissions etc...all the vital stats y'know? Cheers! K

I cant make it work Vs no money. Hope everyone that goes has a great time!

Am I right in saying that 3rd-party Aegia cards are still allowed in HWB and FM leaderboards? Is there a reliable way of telling if someone has used one or the other? K This might be a mute point as a few forum threads are saying Aegia solution= painful but hey...it cant hurt to know Having said that...theres PCI-E x1 versions around as well as PCI...would the interface make much difference? PCI even kills an FX5200 compared to AGP so...y'know...

Trust me, we noticed!

Sorry mods...just reported a load of 8800GT 512MB Vantage scores. Some are just ridiculous. Some im not sure about in regard to PhysX but will let you guys make the decisions Also: an 8800GT 1024MB result: http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=757651 no option to report score but no FM link or screeny. Score looks high for the clocks

Hey Rich- thanks for jumping in I didnt know only one title was available. Cheers!

Sorry Massman- im talking about weeks and months. Jabski has been had over 50 golden medals for...possibly towards 6 months? but hes not listed. Hes the most obvious example I can think of but im sure theres others. There must be lots more ppl who qualify for hardware junkie than those listed because of the volume of hardware available to get silverware with. K

bump

Are these updating ok? They look a bit out of date. Also- how long does it take for updates for these titles to come across to a members page? (the medal and info at the top of every benchers page) Cheers! K

Skulltrail wont matter- overall score will be 100% limited by GPU

The ptions appeared again for me towards thr end of yesterday. Might have been a really old result I was looking at- some of those dont have the options... cant remember which result it was but things seem generally fine now

Please can we have the options back to modify our submissions? It would be useful for when we have to move FM verification URLs between FM accounts if nothing else. Also- please can we have the option of deleting old results- even if it just means hiding them from our view? I dont want to see my old scores that iv beaten.....

Would it be possible (or even a good idea!) to have our hardware and global points listed separately at the top of our profiles so we can see how we're doing? K

Is the latest version of CPU-Z only needed for CPU-Z validation results or is the latest version demanded/highly preferred for all results? I have some 1.4.6.x results I was hoping to accumulate and submit in one go, but I hear 1.47 is due in a few days and i dont want to lose the results I have so far (and im not ready to submit either..unless I HAVE to...) Most of the time it doesnt make any difference to the result accuracy, the CPU-Z validation checker is the only place I can think of where the version really matters...

Thankyou :D

Keeps my profile page clean No other reason

bump..pretty please can someone delete these?

Thats possible- in your options cou can choose what team to bench for, including "no team" K

Benchtec have a group score login. All the results are legit- the scores came/come from sponsored hardware or group bench sessions. We have new scores from I34, but im reluctant to allow them to be posted because a group score login is apparently a gray area? HWB staff and any HWB member are welcome to look through BenchTec Group Score results- you wont find any discrepencies- we're not out to con folk. After some of the recent divided opinions about individuals submitting scores from group events, I would have thought a group title would be a good idea? I really think its the best (if not ONLY good) way to upload results in some situations. Please can we have permission to post these results, or ask HWB mods/admin to work towards a decision on if a group result login is allowed. Cheers! K

Single card category and SLI/CF are ranked separately so its ok

Id never do that. Started at 650MHz for a temp check- Riva wouldnt display the temp at all, and the coldbug had kicked in. Went to 700, 750, 800, 850, 900, 950MHz and 1GHz. Only one or two artifacts in Nature. Heres the 950MHz run- you can see part of it in the 1GHz rivatuner pic as well. iv turned the TEC down and will test again tomorrow (day off work) im hoping to avoid the coldbug and the score will be "normal" (and the clocks will be much lower...)

I suppose a curio is the best way to describe it. I posted it in the GPU-Z HOF thread as an example of why its not a great idea

coldbugged, throttling, but very clockable! Score scales, but pretty damned slowly!
