Ebdoradz, you have to set the number of threads manually to 4. Then you'll hit 14s all over again.

You got one in return. Let me know if you still have problems.

Have you already change your competition team to 'Team Australia'? If not, shoot me a mail and I'll pass you the instructions and more importantly, the password

No co-incidence, already added to the buglist

At first sight, the scores look pretty much in line with the other 512MB score. It varies a bit as you have an i7 clocked at 4.5GHz which does quite well in the more CPU-intensive 3D benchmarks, but overall I reckon your scores are where they should be in the ranking.

It's a test competition: we rely on users to try out the competition feature and give us feedback regarding bugs or things that should be done differently. It's not a competition with prizes

Don't worry about the points; the Ph-II competition is for the Hwbot crew to filter out the bugs that came with the introduction of the HCE (Hwbot Competition Engine).

Done

MSI MOA should've made a better choice then

It's the correct category: 2x = you use 2 cards 3870X2 = category of the strongest card

I see why it could be non-sense to some people, but it's also non-sense to have 2x3870 compete against 3870X2+3870.

Incorrect. You use a multi-gpu configuration, so it has to go in a multi-gpu category. The number of cards you use is 2 (3870X2 + 3870) so you have to indicate 2x. The strongest card in your configuration is the X2, so it has to go in the X2 category. That's how it works here on Hwbot: we don't work with cores but with products.

So the most recent score gets on top? I'm pretty sure RB is aware of this issue, but at the moment all our coding time goes to the HCE project. Within a few days/week this engine should be ready and then we'll be able to focus on this. Sorry for the long wait.

Can you PM me the team name? I'll delete it if there's no one left in the team :-)

I think only hwbot admins can do that.

Could you post a CPU-Z picture? Seems to be a very rare chip

I found the CPU-Z verification link and added it to the score

The easiest way would be to use the .INF file of a driver that supports the hardware you're using. So, if FW177.30 is the driver you want to use, but FW177.31 is the one that supports your hardware, you pick copy the .INF file of the FW177.31 driver and place it in the extracted FW177.30 folder. Use a driver version as close to the one you want to use, though.

Actually, FM isn't that cheat-proof anymore ... :-/

For notebook benching, you have to add an external monitor to run the benchmark at the standard resolution.

Your score is quite out of line when you compare it to all the other scores in the database. Could be driver issue, driver improvement, bugged run ... we don't know.

Will check with coding team.

Checked by moderator means that it's impossible for users to make a chance to the result for obvious reasons. We don't want people to increase their score after the score has been checked. Also, we prefer NOT to remove results from the database because they provide us a lot of information regarding scaling, subtest behavior and much other stuff that can help us analyse hardware performance, calculate the appropriate benchmark weights that determine the points and even use them to compare when certain scores are in doubt.

Sorry Kenny, for that you need to be Hwbot moderator.
