great stuff nick !

beautiful, where is the 7ghz valid??

Same here

^ Well everyone has to adapt to a different way of playing, whether benching old hardware or new. Your not the only person who lost points, or has benchmarks that were worth rev2 points not worth anything in rev3. Evolve!!

http://hwbot.org/rankings/benchmark/pcmark_vantage/rankings?cores=16 All those scores are ranked incorrectly It wont be worth the same because your only getting global points in one category now.... just like we all are. Anyone who benched gtx295, 4870x2, 5970 lost points (myself included, but I gained points from other places - notably hwboints). Until more results in the multiple gpu categories are submitted you wont see big global points coming from them (which is what made up your larger score in rev 2). In rev 2 you got global points in both single card and multi rankings, now you only get global points for whichever score would yield more.

Until more scores are submitted in the multi card category, yes dual gpu cards wont get as much global points. As the number of submissions grow so will the global points. Incorrect, lower gen models are where some of the biggest points are to be won! (8800gt, 8800gtx, 7 & 6 series nvidia, 38xx, etcetcetc) Versus before when you had to have cpu on LN2 and 4x flagship top of the line gpus right? Nothing has changed... people on LN2 will still rule the ranks as they always have. Little guys arent crushed with this revision, in fact your awarded more since a greater number of the top submission in a category will now receive hwboints where they would not have before.

AFAIK people bench because they enjoy it. If hwbot went down forever tomorrow I would still bench. The competition just adds some more vareity and flavor to it. To stop benching b/c of this is stupid. If you stop participating in hwbot thats one thing, but to stop benching altogether?

Sorry george I think that complaint is a bit silly. When nvidia release a dual gpu version of gt300 it will wreck 5970 also. single vs single, dual vs dual. You cant blame hwbot b/c nvidia makes a stronger card... Not to mention single core gt300 will never compete directly against 5970. gt300=single, 5970=multi.

if you guys dump 3d mark 2k1 that would be a grave mistake

No its obviously a bugged run

I guess I really dont see whats unfair when people are running rampant with $1600 worth of gfx cards. If someone has a nice storage array, they should get some credit :shrug:

well not a whole lot more, but I wouldve broken 380k for sure... maybe 385k or so?

Thks bro

If you like hot wings, KFC is no place for you... Come to Buffalo, New York, where the "Hot" chicken wing was invented We have restaurants with "suicide" wings... put hair on your back everytime u eat them But I must agree with jmke... McD, BK, KFC is mostly junk food, although some of their meals taste ok, or are good if you are in a hurry and need to eat a meal while driving somewhere or something.

Im not accusing anyone of hardware sharing, but alot of 4890's were being benched yesterday :up:

awesome stuff guys, looks like you all had fun.

Lets have a bench session brian... MUAHAHAHA j/k

LOL thats awesome

it is running at full x16 bandwidth? does gpuz say x16? chispy had a similar problem, and had to RMA his classified since the pci-ex slots were only giving x8 or x4 bandwidth...

notice how his watermark blocks the validation too?

I agree with what pro said here. Just becuase you ranked in top 10 on hwbot doesnt entitle you to anything. Hwbot isnt setting up this contest after all....

Yeah maybe if you take a global that will get someones attention lol

Yes those scores look way out of the ordinary. Of course that would reveal the bugged test Angelo, time to rerun on win7 bro

Invitation only type of things happen all the time. I would have loved to try and qualify for GOOC 2009 in LA, but it was invite only. Granted im not ranked 6th or whatever, but thats not the point. The point is the manufacturers who will be supplying tons of gear, prizes, etc want to pick the oc'ers for THE FIRST SEASON. Next time around there will be qualifiers so why is everyone getting their panties in a bunch? Lets put our full support and best effort behind it, and see where it takes us!

this idea is awesome! I really hope it gets off the ground and is well received. Then next time around an open qualifier will ensure no one feels left out
