Very nice! Found a good cpu!

How about this: http://hwbot.org/newsflash/3327_upcoming_broadwell_e_core_i7_6950x_may_cost_up_to_usd_1500 Don't know if FS scales with more than 8 cores, but even if it does not next gen from Futuremark probably will. 1500$ cpu is out of the question, even for me Something needs to be done, not only with the points but also with categories. 4 core CPU with FS/FSE etc would be really nice! What happened with the lowered threshold and adjusted slope for globals? Most seemed fine with that. Also don't know if anyone but the HW-benchers think HW points should be more important in the rankings. HW points (top spots) is mostly about running average GPU clocks and pair it with a golden last gen CPU. It is not so much about the HW the points indicate (the GPU).

Online qualifier for the last two spots would be very good

Sanded die? Great chip you got!

A 4 core CPU category for FS and the other non-legacy 3D benches would be very nice. I have two 980 ti that I ran on ln2 for the goc qualifier. After that only legacy 3D. And I actually have a Rampage V Ex and memory, only missing a good 5960X. There is just not enough incentment to spend much money on a good 5960X. Then a heap of ln2 to bench for very little points (my cards are not that good).

What volts do these b-die like? Still not available here, but soon got some coming.

Hideo always runs 4 sticks! Nice work on the ASUS, and nice to see 11-11-11!

Insane, that chip would even be good for some 3D...

That's why I suggested grouping cards in more artificial "classes". Three seems like a reasonable number to me. Any more would probably create more problems than solve them. The amount of compute cores is not really relevant to performance and constantly changing.

WR points will always be the same no matter number of submissions or level of competition.

That just seems like free points... The thing is 3-4 way will never really be competitive because of the cost. No way people will buy four titans or 980ti, put them on like a 1000l ln2 to run them through all benchmarks just because the points increase. I have thought about creating "classes" in 3D, in which each class gets global points. Like one class is high end or unrestricted, one mid end (Gtx 970 for example and amd corresponding), and one low end. Each new generation of gpus would be divided into these classes.

My best one so far does HWBot Prime at around 6350 on OCF. Can do 06 4C/8T at around 6.25 on Impact. Lower on OCF. Around 6.4 in 05 on ASUS board. Again, lower on OCF. Of the boards I have tried I have found that ASUS (only tried Impact) is better than MSI (Xpower) which is better than OCF, when it comes to CPU speed. Number of voltage settings related to CPU is ASUS>MSI>OCF. My guess as to the reason for this. But some CPUs don't seem to need/scale with the additional voltage settings. So, of course it depends on CPU.

I'll take the number 7 as well

Congratz!

Great cpu! ...but no screen? Does b-die make that much of a difference or maybe soc f very efficient?

Cool!

Hmm,so not even b-die is easy 741

Great score! And scary high vcore for xtu

Very nice! Correct vcore reading in cpu-z?

Agree! Agree, think we came up with 100, 85, 75% a few pages back and noone disagreed... I think this might be good, but only do one unrestricted cpu ranking and one 4c (unlimited threads) ranking. Might make 3d a little more popular. Agree, you're only fooling yourself if you think you're better than you are or that the pros get their results withput effort or for free. Agree, a 3d ranking can be a curiosity (like the 3d king thread) but should not be separate rankings. Don't know if a poll will provide any useful results unfortunately. The way threads like this go there will never be a majority that will support any change, because all proposals are garbage... In real life authorities propose a change, get the public and expert opinions, and then make the changes they want anyway In the end I think hwbot has the best grasp of what will be the best course.

Yes, I'll take it Thought it was e-mail only. Read it correctly now. I've also e-mailed you about some other products. Hopefully some of it can be arranged to be shipped together... Thank you for all you keep doing for oc community!

I've e-mailed you about #3: 33X0033

Interesting, I like the changes. A big change to hw-points, not shure what impact that will have but it is also necessary because hw-points will only continue to be more and more problematic is it is now. But if the points are dependant on the number of participants each submitted score will require a full recalculation anyway, won't it? Maybe you could lighten the server load by having scheduled recalculations? Once a day would be enough. Could of course also be split up by category, benchmark etc if a full recalculation is too heavy.

I also have fourth place points

In F1 they have hardware restriction exactly for the reason to make it more exciting. They put the rules in to level the competion because some companies spent so much money to develop better cars they became too good and races were not exciting any more. I'm not saying we should take the binning aspect out of OC, it is and always will be the most deciding aspect. But maybe it would be good to tone it down a notch. Perhaps 100, 85, 75 and then a bit more slowly downwards.
