[3dmark 2001 on vista]

Run in compabilitymode?

[300 HD XP start Up in PCMark05 is this allowed or legal ???]

ORB has a 300 MB/s cap as far as my experience, I had a 305 MB/s that wouldn't upload.

[cant run aquamark]

submit it to http://virusscan.jotti.org/

 

I have testet it on my 24/7 rig, and it's still alive, but AQ3 sucks on Vista anyway.

[cant run aquamark]

Vista x64 AQ3 patch here.

Too bad we can't overclock the HDD's. Gathering a lot of discs doesn't make anyone a good OC'er.

[PCMARK Vantage]

I did beat my own I-Ram score with 3 raptors and an I-Ram in the same Raid 0.

 

But I-Rams in a Raid 0 config will kick hard.

 

So PCMVant is extremly HD dependant. And that will take the focus off the rest of the system.

[3Dmark 2008 'Vantage' Poll #2 - enable points]

Who is going to make the NEXT bench?

 

And this results in hwbot not evolving since 2005 in the 3d compartment. Too bad.

[Poll]

1)10

 

2)8

 

3)On which of the following choices are you keen on? (more than one answer)

 

a)games

b)internet

 

4)Own pc

 

5)Yes, $3000 every year, but in Norway that will not buy me much. A gfx card, cpu, mb, hd and some accesories will cost $3000, easily.

[Add chiller cooling]

Add waterchiller.

 

And ambient temp for aircooling. Air is not air when somebody is stuck in Australia with +30C and we in Norway can play at -30C.

[Mipmap cheated scores or not?]

Then ask the benchers to provide a Nature run with mipmap enabled. That will give them 100+ fps? I had to do so with my 8800GT's. And I do that every time I bench from now on.

[3Dmark 2008 'Vantage' - to add or not to add]

New poll on the frontpage! Nobody reads the hwbot forum...

[3Dmark 2008 'Vantage' - to add or not to add]

Yes, and update the submission rules. No need for link with the hotfix? At least not for sub top 20.

[why hwbot uses wprime?]

Running wprime with 8 threads on a quad have been faster than 4 threads for me. So I wouldn't bother if it was locked at 8 threads. The problem with wprime1024 is that on thread usually finish a lot later than the rest, but by having more threads this gap closes.

[PCMARK Vantage]

PCMVantage is as easy to manipulate with I-Ram as PCM05.

[Wrong Result]

Ok, thanks. Got a little worried when the mail came in.

[Wrong Result]

Hi, I have now provided a FM link, can this result be reopened now?

[PCMARK Vantage]

Is there any plans to give PCM Vant any hw points?

[PCMARK Vantage]

Well, vista Performs a lot better in both PCMark05 and Wprime32/1024 So there is a reason to start switching. But for 3D XP is still better.

[PCMARK Vantage]

The test needed for a score takes aprox 26 min. Still a little long.
