    REV4 up and running! Questions, suggestions, feedback goes in here

    in HWBOT Rev.4

    Posted

    Not directly what you asked for, but you can go to a memory info page and check the rankings:

    http://hwbot.org/hardware/memory/ddr2_sdram

     

    I think a good "advanced" search would be useful for rev4.1. I don't know whether it can fit in our timeframe though.

     

    How about a linky to the old search-page? Or was it too tightly integrated into v3 to have the search running separately from it?

    Just a thought. It was a nice functionality :)

    I haven't looked closely om the implications for my own submissions yet, but I think hwbot are on a right track here.

     

    btw, it took forever to read through 42 pages of whining LOL

    But some posts have opened up a few valid issues here.

     

    And If I have missed a few crucial points in how the algorithm works, please bear over with me and correct me.

     

    First, I'm not sure the distribution of global points are optimal as of now. It is true that the reward for spending time and LN2 on multi-gpu is a little low when points are given out based om popularity alone. My thoughts went to adding a factor/multiplier to the globals of multi-card benches to make a 2-3-4gpu bench earn globals equal of the singles despite having only half or less number of submissions. I think the insanely hgh scores should be rewarded a bit on top of the points awarded for beating the others in the same category to make those categories more worthvile.

    That globals in the single-gpu is worth more than the globals in mulit-gpu is discouraging for those benching for points (a rare breed, are they?)

    And maybe the hardware factor should not be based on the number of, let's say, 3x4870 submissions, but have hardwarepoints based on the overall popularity of the 4870, single and multi?

    Still won't make owners of the dual-gpu/single-pcb(x2 cards) cards happy, but there is no reason they should be more happy than owners of cards that are unable to run dual/multi slot/gpu.

     

     

    And the "unpopular" hardware points drop-off are looking somewhat artificial. 1.5points for a gold cup in an unchallenged category is plenty. 1 point would be enough. If there are 2 or 3 users it is not unchallenged anymore, and should receive a little more, perhaps 1.5 point.

    I also think a gold cup should be worth a considerable higher amount of point than a silvercup, and there should be worthwhile points up for grabs for being in the top 50%

     

    For 5 submissions my proposal would be 1.5-1.0-0.7-0.5-0.2

     

    For more than 5 submissions but less than, lets say 20, last place should be awarded 0.1 point. For more popular categories I think only top 2/3 (66%) should receive points, with last place(s) earning 0.1 point and 1st place earning a good deal more than 2nd who earn a good deal more than 3rd, and make a smooth slow even decent to the lowest 0.1 point.

    What I try to say is that the drop off from 1.2 or 0.9 or whatever to 0.1 is too abrupt. And if 1.5 points are awarded for 1st, I think 1.2 is too much for 2nd.

     

    Overall I think this looks good tho, now I just need time to bench and try get back those 500 or so places I lost in the ranking ;)

    An ES chip is afaik per definition ALWAYS the property of the manufacturer. Why spend money on a chip that never truly can be yours, and in the process of being put of for is to be considered as contraband (selling something that isn't the property of the seller).

    The only thing I see as "unfair" as far as ES hardware goes, is hardware that don't have been released to retail yet. I think a ES with a retail counterpart is allowed to be part of the ranking. Go on, earn your points, and play fair :D

    IDK knopflerbruce...

    Maybe I should start a thread on you, and write a long essay in norwegain? :P

     

    But it seems like this is a common problem... I visited OC-TV to catch some glimpses of the ROG dreamhack today, and their chat was full of Finns talking Finnish...even if the first line you get when joining says there are a separate chat set up for Finns in a separate irc-channel :(

    can we have a compare function like in futuremarks website?

    You're welcome RB... take it away...

     

    But the idea here is good. Should be added to the wish-list for future possible implementation :)

     

    Like a drop-down under the individual score where you can chose between your own scores (would probably need to show hardware in drop-down, not only score) in same benchmark and compare them side by side.

    Will probably add a bit of load on the server tho, as it would need to cache a members scores quite often... There may be other and far better solutions, this was just an idea that came to me right now
