  1. when the change to a benchmark is major, if it does not preclude legacy hardware for compatibility issues (eg, requires an instruction set the hardware does not have) and you want to control the ballooning of the total benchmark count, then add it as a new ranking and freeze earlier version points. No where near the impact of the recent change in the Bot point system. ** Mods may want to change the GPUPI Rules page, from V3.1+ (mandatory from March 9th, 2018) to remove the "+" from the rules, or change to 3.1+ ... but not 3.3. It is misleading as written since it puts no limit on the version, only a floor for the mandatory version. When was the beta testing for 3.2?
  2. IMO, this in this case, where if GPUPI is not allowed to evolve, eventually we end up going the way of an old ham radio club that did not evolve to digital. (no postcards please ). Make a shift date, freeze boints for versions before 3.3 and use 3.3 going forward. It is inevitable that benchmarks will need to evolve with emerging architectures and platforms - old benches will not run new instruction sets and so on. But, there's two sides to this argument. IMO, keeping ancient "GPU" benchmarks like aquamark, MK03 etc, is off-kilter also - these simply are not GPU benchmarks anymore. Then, we have no AVX512 benchmark with boints either... etc, so plenty of opportunities to add benches that push modern hardware too. Seems a shame that more efficient coding (3.3 solves the same problem) is being "shat upon" Lastly, try to keep it "us against the hardware" .
  3. nice one bro.. but we gotta work on gettin the ram tightened up! :)
  4. thx guys... maybe I'll try disabling each of the chipset drivers to ferret out the offending component. :)
  5. boom... but how the heck did iyou get catZ to run on this platform?
  6. great run man... but don't get it tossed because the screen shot is not correct. :thumb:
  7. how is it that the 1070 is not permitted but 290X is? Wouldn't call 290X a third tier card.
