  1. Thanks for pointing out that we still don't spend enough time on HWbot; from now on I'll try to ditch all my other social activities to be more active :)

     

    Ofcourse the manhours put in to this by botcrew is awesome.., to follow every entry and check its validity is impossible.., I think everybody understands this if given some time to think about it...

    At the same time fustration over deleted result or no answers in same issue.., also understandable...(had one result deleted myself other day.., my own fault acctually.., not observant enough.., bugged score.., damn.. :-)

     

    This situation is very hard to fully grip... If every submission was made according to stated rules.., well.., no problem would occur...

     

    Only ones who can make this a lil easier is us.., benchers.., so please let us try to help insted of makin it harder..,yes..?

  2. .., cant stay away...

    there´s a lot of work put in to finding the 2k3 problem.., an old benchmark.., outdated long time ago...

    We have a brand new benchmark we dont do, no boints.., reasons unknown I would say.., even if SF3D manage to get reduction for HWbot users it wont change the outcome.., for me this reulted in I only bench xtreme preset now... I paid 20 bucks for Vantage..,(I paid for all my benchmarks 01, 03, 05, 06, and Vantage..,) I want my own licences thats all. Put a lot of effort into Vantage when it came out.., then came all the bs with PhysX.., I must laugh.., here is a whole bunch of reasons for stopp doin this.., not to mention all the other "shared hw, mipmap, LOD, hp" reasons...

    But.., in my heart I´m a bencher.., so I cant stay away.., even if that would be the most sane thing to do...

  3. Why cant we see it like this.., we all need heroes.., we all need to marvel at fantastic results both in 2K1 and in Vantage.., exluding boints cuz of dollars in a rig??? We need that too.., looking at the pics of 3 280´s/4870X2 CF completely iced ! :-) .., aswell as we look at a rig that trashed 2k1 air or LN, doesnt matter...

     

    (Nacthymnens pics of his iced pot is my favourites..:-)

     

    KP had a sweet 2k1 thread goin on XS.., cap on cpu 4.6ghz.., cap on nature 1470 or sum like that.., goal was 100k.., all air..,not so easy...

    I´m equally impressed over those who managed that on air as I am over WR in Vantage with tons of LN and a forrest of gpu´s...

     

    We need both scenarios.., so why not award boints for job well done.., what ever benchmark...

  4. Mate...I couldn't care less what you do, we are living in a free world, you can bench LN2, cascade or whatever pleases you. What I do not like is hypocrisy and bragging about benching a cascade, like that does not cost money or does not give you low temps. It makes me laugh my ass off when I see a "poor" western European complaining about money...If the best you can do in a country like Germany to earn money is fix old computers...you have a problem my friend, bigger then the existence of sponsored guys in the overclocking scene ;)

     

    Germany??? .., Monstru my dear.., lets stop this now.., let me take pride in what I do.., even if i´m just fixing old computers to get me round the corner..., must laugh :-)))

    Obviously "workout" didnt help.. :-))))

    I hope we meet some day and can laugh bout this..!

    This will be my last post here...

    Take care all benching dudes and dudettes!

  5.  

    Third....I know very well how it feels to bench with hardware that you cannot mod, I know how it is to make sacrifices to buy one piece of CPU and get stuck with that, and so on...And then I know how it feels to compete against guys that have it all for free...But I know that they didn't had it for free from the beginning, and that they also had to struggle until they got a name for themselves. So...it might be easier in some countries, might be harder in others, but in the end you have to work a lot to get a sponsorship...So we all have to do that. And just for the record, a cascade costs 10x times more then benching LN2, so I don't see why somebody which has a cascade takes pride in not benching LN2, when it comes to money....

     

     

    Monstru doesnt like me.. :-( :-)))))))

    .., here it is..

    I paid like 1000 euro for my cascade.., I did it with money I earned fixing broken computers.., (a lot of them...)

    LN cost bout 30l/100euro.., that would bring me 300L LN and okay.., I can do a lot of benching with 300L.., but when last drop is gone.., what do I have then.., Nada...

     

    Taking pride in my effort (only cascadebench).., well.., If You have a prob with that.., more the pitty... I would suggest a suitable "workout" for you to loosen up a bit.., but I guess I could get hammered for that.. :-)))

  6. Find and make the challenge for yourself.QUOTE]

     

    True, true...

    I just love the challenge goin after the top dogs with what I have..,

     

    exampel: I have not the opportunity to mod my gpu´s.., I must keep them "out of box"...

    I also (damndest thing) cant do LN.., due to the deal I have atm.., wich also includes airruns with same hw..

     

    Thats a real handicap when I have to run gpucores of 700 against 1000mhz beasts.. :-)

    No LN speak for it self.., SS and Cascade is doin the job for me... :-)

     

    So.., I dont have ONE result made with LN or modded gpu´s...

     

    .., but I dont care.., I have fun and I try to get as close as I can.., above mentioned has become my challenge and sweet it is.. :-))) (just hold on when my deal changes.., :-))))

  7. What in GOD's name are you talking about? When have you seen someone whining because new hardware? Everybody's happy with new hardware. And please, explain to me who are you referring when you say "whinemachine" my friend? Do you mean people don't have the right to vote NO in this pole and say why they don't want a new benchmark added? You have a problem with freedom of speech?

     

    I see that the benchmark will eventually be awarded points by the way the voting is going. If that happens, we'll all live with that, it's the wish of the majority (but then again Bush Jr was the wish of the majority in the USA.....talking about a bad decision..but that is something else) and everybody will accept that. But I see now problem in somebody speaking up his mind, and explaining why they think it's a bad idea. This is a forum, and we all speak our mind here, even if sometimes we don't agree. Nobody's whining, and I think that some people should express themselves with a little bit more respect to other members of this community....

     

    Funny thing is that less then 2% of the HWB Community voted....that is not majority if you ask me...Usually, when less then 30% don't come to Presidential elections, the vote is canceled :D

     

    .., ofcourse.., You are right.., everybody ownes the right to speak there mind... :-)

    Striking fact though.., less than 2% voted... :-/

  8. .., just a question.., when X-58 arrives.., will everybody scream and whine "unfair" again and we have endless polls that end up in more polls..???

    atm I have a lot of fun with 177.83 and my old Ultras.., hof/fm lost its glory completely when they enforced there "east policy"...

     

    My wish is for Hwbot to add all presets and ofcourse include PhysX drivers.., everything else is just hypocrisy (to quote KP)...

  9. Hey.., was not my meaning to offend You., "lift your ass" was simply an reminder that nothing comes free in life..,

    In everything I participated in life.., dragracing, roadracing, you name it.., there will always be a certain click of people that manage to have the best stuff and therefore nearly always win.., but that doesnt mean that I think its unfair.., opposite.., I try to race them anyways and do the best I can with the things I have...

    Hwbot is like dragracing.., you have every opportunity to "run what You brung".., and we do.., we dont whine over unfairness.., we simply race the hell out of what we have..

    I think everybody must set there own milestones in every benchmark.., not always look at superrigs with LN flowing like tapwater..

    (even if its the "coolest" thing;-)

     

    So.., again.., was not my meaning to offend..:-)

  10. .., everybody have the same opportunity of getting to those monsterrigs.., in my case.., (poor as a churchrat) I made a deal with a dealer.., fixing rma´s.., building systems.., showing results in different forums.., I am a slave under my addiction.., so I do a lot of work to get my chans to rip some hw apart and.., you dont need to be sponsored or rich to have this opportunity.., just lift your ass and go out marketing your skills..! :-)

  11. There is no need to change the current rules.

     

    We are not counting cores here. We count slots/sockets (PCI-E/AGP etc.) One graphics card = one slot/socket, no matter how many gpu's there are inside.

     

    :-).., I know that.., it just strike me a lil strange...

  12. I must agree.., never understood why a unit with 2 gpu´s ended up in singel card..???

    A singel gpu is a singel gpu.., if the case holds more than one gpu its a multi gpu...

    It has to be that simple.., and it would be so much more fun actually..! :-))

  13. no its not.. :-/ .., thing is that we can go on benching oldies to the wheels come off.., but honestly.., hw is getting so sofisticated that its hard to tell whats good and whats not with the "oldies".., Vantage atleast respond to new hw in a totaly different way.., its fun to do a new benchmark and to rock it together with the rest of the comunity.., guess I´m just a lil bored.., :-)))
