I am and have compared to other results- that why iv reported those two scores. 3DMark03- you have 330MHz more on the CPU, the same GPU core clock and 25MHz more on the GDDR, yet somehow your score is 1600 points higher than mine. Your score is also 600 points higher than Blindfitters- who has a QX9650 clocked 600MHz higher than your E66, a similar core clock and 40MHz less on the GDDR. You think your score looks normal? 3DM05- your score is 600 points higher than mine, despite having lower graphics clocks. I KNOW how to bench, I even went through maybe 6 driver sets looking for differences. Your scores make no sense.

http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=649274 (3DM03) http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=554578 (3DM05) Both way too high for the clocks. Category- 7800GTX

I just had a quick look through some of velds results...plenty 3DMark results without GPU-Z windows hahahahaha veld- im not trying to pick a fight with you, but your idea can only backfire. "people in glass houses shouldnt throw stones"

Thanks jmke, sorry the the outburst *oops* common sense prevails!

What? You cant call those out just because they dont have GPU-Z?! What about the thousands of results submitted before GPU-Z was released? Are all those results now less valid? Are they invalid? Id like to nominate 90% of my 3DMark results for checking because they dont have GPU-Z windows present. Id like to apologise for submitting bench results before GPU-Z was released :@ Are the scores you've reported in categories in which you are competing?

http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=716604 category- 6800XT, NV41. Never gonna pull that score with an Opto 185 @ 3GHz and low GPU clocks!

excuse the emo-ness of posting song lyrics on a forum, but read through these.. it sums up benching like you wouldnt believe! The Cure- Never Enough. However much I push it down It's never enough However much I push it around It's never enough However much I make it out It's never enough Never enough However much I do However big I ever feel It's never enough Whatever I do to make it real It's never enough In any way I try to speak It's never enough Never enough However much I try to speak It's never enough However much I'm falling down It's never enough However much I'm falling out It's never enough Whatever smile I smile the most It's never enough Never enough However I smile I smile the most So let me hold it up Just one more go Holding it up for just once more One more time to fill it up One more time to kill But whatever I do It's never enough It's never enough It's never enough

I know where you're coming from and I agree- cant have me cake and eat it, but if existing scores/clockspeeds in a category are "civilised" I wont go and "ruin" it- I approach it as a gentlemans agreement. Id never break out the dice for...say... my 6800XT runs etc theres no satisfaction in beating a Ford Escort with a Dodge Viper in a one mile straight.

well...this section is for my irrelevant opinion I hate seeing low-mid end GPUs benched alongside £600 CPUs with £700+ cascade cooling. Its crap, its never gonna happen in real-life and it aint what good benching is all about.* Theres a lot of things in the scene that really annoy me and wind me up a LOT and I hate the fact that very few ppl agree with me because "its all for points and personal (or team) glory" Y'know I had to reason with someone to NOT cheat the other day? WTF is that alla bout? Is benching that shallow now? POINTS AT ALL COSTS? *it also happens the other way- using I-RAM and top-end GPUs for PCMark to make old CPUs shine so much brighter than they are. We could sort out the BS around 3D LOD and mipmaps by having someone release a DOS box MFLOP test for GPU setups. If no-one cares about the image quality, or if theres an image at all (!!!!) then 3DMark becomes utterly pointless (even more so than it already is) [/rant] I feel no better, but I hate where benching is going.

LOL Im trying to get so much info into screenies that I dont pay attention to res. Chances are, its often covered by a score breakdown window My conscience is crystal clear though. Il pass it onto the guys at BTUK that res is needed in screenies

Its part arrogance but if guys are pulling 1-200 FPS better than me in nature at the same clocks, lower or only slightly higher, I call mipmap. Iv only called out scores using GTS512MB cards because I can relate to it best. I got 860FPS in nature at 1024/2560/1095 and based everything around that. I know my FPS should have been higher, but I really dont think 950FPS+ is an option without being around 1075MHz core, if not more? CPU does nothing to the score and I find that 100MHz on the core adds ~60FPS to the score.

http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=701860 http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=704018 these both look too high for the clocks? hardware category: http://www.hwbot.org/quickSearch.do?hardwareId=GPU_855&name=GeForce+FX+5750+PCX+%2856%29 Thanks for taking the time to examine all these reported results guys!

3DM01 results possibly obtained using mipmap- natures FPS are way too high http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=698991 http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=696596 http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=697378 http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=706411 The last one might be alright because of the GDDR clocks??? Thanks

2 fairly major odd results: http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=702648 http://www.hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=702949 Both are miles ahead of the 2nd place scores, despite having MUCH lower clocks. (6600GT) Could be SLI results in the single card section?

Happy birthday Mr Rich!

I do feel that for some teams, people join just to say "look, im part of a great team thats done this this and this" I also appreciate that some people have the best intentions, but dont have the money/access/time to really make a difference. Its a bit harsh, but "no points, no point" would work well to keep teams streamlined

http://www.hwbot.org/hallOfFame.do?type=result&applicationId=14 Atomic and Kingpin are NOT using QX9770 CPUs in Skulltrail, which makes those results gray area. I appreciate they want the scores up, but its wrong to class them under another CPU name until the 9775s are included in CPU ID.

http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=644505 2GHz slower on the CPU, but a full 5 minutes faster? I fail to see how that can be right or possible. http://www.hwbot.org/quickSearch.do?hardwareId=CPU_1044&name=Pentium+4+631+%28375%29 (wP 1024)

Old technology, no improvement in any part of it. Doubled up to perform like CF, using Crossfire onboard. Without Crossfire, that card wouldnt be performing how it is. If it was new architecture that performed like that, I wouldnt mind at all. Even if it was a native dual-core in one die. Thats why I voted the way I did K

Just found this on an open job site. Couldnt make this up if I tried. I hope its a joke. "Hi Iam a graduate in IT and studying CCNP(cisco certified network associate) at the moment.I have got CCNA too. As a grduate I have written hundreds of report and essays.I am very good on it.My english is excellent. If you like me to write your school,college,university etc report,essays on Computing and IT then call me on 07xxxxxxx or e-mail me xxxxxxxxxx I'll do it in cheap price. Thanks"

Is it ok to put the emphasis on who has the most endorsements or the deepest pockets, because thats easy to organise and code? My first "Is it ok..." statement wasnt intended to be bitchy, and I dont want this thread to go down that route, no offense was meant!

Nice point SF3D, I was about to add this myself: What about multi-way systems in wPrime? Theres 8 and 16-way servers in there too along with the single-CPU chips. Could/should those be split off into a separate section? Annnddd (lol sorry guys!) 3 and 4-way SLI/CF systems arent fair to 2-way users. Rankings suggest that ya either get a 3 or 4 system, or kiss an attempt at ranking well goodbye. I know its been discussed, but as more lines are being blurred and computers diversify more, is it ok to keep the categories so simple? K
