Frontpage seems slow. Anyone else having issues?

Cool, bronze cup!

Heh, maybe it would also be interesting to post in here if you've send in a bug report . Just so the community can see if there's already a report made or not?

Yup, the air clock wall is still there.

Game Developers Conference?

We're overclocking old and unusual hardware. The point of these HWBOT competitions (no prizes, just glory) is to also give competitions to people who don't always have the latest greatest. There's enough exposure and competition for the newest hardware already, so it's a welcome change to also play with the old bits again.

No idea. Just normal runs ...

I'm sure FM's opinion is 'render all frames' on that question. But, the 3DMark benchmark is designed (and marketed) as an application that is supposed to serve as indication for gaming. And when it comes to games, the answer is 'render this scene'. Game developers don't care about how much throughput there is. They care about getting the damn scene rendered with a certain image quality. For me, 3dmarking is just gaming for real men (and women)

Yeah, just a post in here would be useful info. We're trying to track down the issue, but everytime we think we squashed the bug, another one pops up.

I wish I could run 1200

Sure, fun. Unless it's stuck at 5250

I agree with Viss. Ivy replaces everything in all benchmarks aside from 3D11 and Vantage.

Nice. You make 12.5K a month? You must be a banker!

What's the difference between: - "I have a good CPU and someone in the office can bench it" - "I have a good CPU and no one in the office can bench it, so I'll ask someone else to do it" No difference. Just marketing. Before or after NDA lifts ?

Efficiency is problematic, because: - efficiency goes up the lower you go in CPU frequency as ideal efficiency is running everything at 1:1:1:1. - there's no 100% watertight validation process for frequency; people can lower frequency (= increase efficiency) before taking the screenshot Also, efficiency is just one part of overclocking. Another part of it is maxing the frequencies and getting it to pass the benchmark at certain clocks.

Yeah sure. It's created with google docs

First time in a couple of days, or a daily issue? We have a monitoring site set up now as well as a couple of methods in place to automatically bring it back up again.

"What is the purpose of a benchmark" is a very good question. Is it giving the videocard the task to "render all frames" or is it giving the videocard to "please render this scene".

http://k404 Doesn't work. Or does it? I can see nothing, so I assume it works, right?

It's not really a good analogy. It's like two people getting asked to draw 5x a waterfall scene in MS Paint. Person A draws one scene, saves it, opens new document, draws ... etc untill there are 5 files. Virtu guy just draws it once and then copies the file 4x to have 5. In both cases, there are 5 waterfall scenes. But Virtu didn't have to do as much effort.

Why ?
