    WHATS UP WITH 3d11!!??

    in HWBOT Development: bugs, features and suggestions

    Posted · Edited by dinos22

    I like the fact there is an alternative even if not as good as FM benchmark, Unigine that is.

     

     

     

    Like Vince said, 3D Mark11 is a "I got no gold CPU" guy helper, and that is a good thing.
    I disagree. 3DMARK11 "P" is "I got EVGA SR2" board guy helper benchmark as you call it

     

    '11 "X" is a different story and very similar to Unigine but you will still have an advantage on SR2

     

     

    Unigine can be benched on a few different platforms which are alright, X58 being main, SR2 and also 990FX 4way seems pretty efficient also from some testing ive done and also ATI graphics cards are actually a viable alternative in benching. I am yet to see anyone have a serious crack with ATI cards but i think its doable.

     

     

    Massman asked me about my opinion earlier and i am indifferent whether it has points or not but i do think hwbot needs to provide some options to us other than FM. Benchmarks need competition, you've all seen some colossal fuckups lately with released of FM benchmarks and after some serious bitching to FM it took some time and we got things changed. If there was ZERO competition and therefore demands we would be told to get stuffed and would be benching blind and then had to have internet connection to submit the benchmark live to check the subtests for example.

     

    Unigine provide tougher competition and various platforms for people to choose to compete with. If that is truly the goal than Unigine is the best fit.

     

    Another advantage of having a non-FM benchmark is that HWBOT in this instance (who represent us I HOPE) can have input in benchmark design so with future revsions we could influence in how we want the bench to be. This is a pretty big deal imo unless FM would be willing to work closely with HWBOT on upcoming benchmarks as HWBOT understands us better than anyone else imo
