  1. Points should be based on popularity factor (already in "what to add/fix in next revisions" list), not on scaling factor.

     

    Scaling factor is not constant, it is based on current (latest) gen CPU/GPU performance, OS and drivers support, benchmark settings, etc.

    What if today we "improve" points for current situation with scaling and tomorrow next gen CPU (IB-E for example) will make better scaling for 3/4-way configurations, then we will need another improvement?

     

    Hwbot point system already a bit too complex. Adding another 1-2 variables in calculation algorithm may slow down database server and make point system more hard to understand.

  2. Tried old RevoDrive x2 100Gb one year ago, got only 170-175 Mb/s in General Usage and 347 Mb/s Virus Scan.

    Used first (highest) PCI-E x16 slot on motherboard for RevoDrive.

    May be it is related to caching.

    Discrete RAID-controllers use onboard RAM for cache.

    Integrated (onboard) RAID-controllers use software cache (Intel RST / AMD RAID BIOS).

    Revodrive don't use any cache, except some small memory inside SandForce controller.

  3. Next question, why would registering the benchmark be illegal? I mean, if you have a key why not use it?

    If you get the key before benchmark supports and sales was discontinued - ok, nothing illegal with that.

    But for now, the оnly way to get a key for PCMark04 is... using goggle for it.

    I not sure "generated" keys, even for discontinued benchmark, is legal.

  4. A better question would be, if you are, is it legal?

    Grammar check "fix" was used by I.nfraR.ed for HWBOT OC Challenge June 2011, so I guess it is legal.

    The only one thing that can be considered as illegal is registering the benchmark with a key.

    But this benchmark not available for sale long time ago and we just not have any other options to get that "fix" working.
