I don't think it is legal for current version of benchmark anyway. Want me to post overall global wr to start discussion, lol?)

5.3ghz ftw?

I beleive 7.9 is not possible? This is still 5ghz run. I can cold boot to windows and show you same results running xtu without need of any actions prior to running xtu.

Thank you, Terra Raptor!

Looks like XTU is not valid anymore.

 

Let me know your opinion, please vote:

 

1. Just 2 current benchmarks;

2. Add one more and share what do you want?

Let others decide. I won't use it for qualifiers but the tweak is simple enough to be discovered by others. And it allows runs with deviations small enough (I.e. +10 points to an average 1320) to be accepted by most moderators.

Me personally vote for 2 benchmarks (pifast and fsx) with equal point distribution (50%/50%).

Changing the rules afterwards???

Hmmm

Benchmark compromised - I pass validation and, again, the thing I do is not against the rules. I will try to qualify. You see better options than deny xtu from qualification? What if I share tweak with other guys but not with you?)

I am prefer to just disable XTU points. Let`s wait for few more opinions.

Anyway, i agree, that changing rules now, will be not correct.

No matter what will be done...but said anyway!

You're right, slams is right, everyone is right...but as I said...sad anyway

Does this issue only happen in Windows 8.1 / Windows 8?

 

If yes the solution would be simple to ban the OS (again).

 

We can always switch to another benchmark and also extend the qualification timeframe if required. That would not be an issue.

 

Also switching from XTU 5 GHz to XTU full-out might be a solution. Depending on what exactly caused the bug we're talking about.

I thought win 8 is banned anyway?!?!?!

No it isn't. Will post a result with win7 within 20 minutes. Description of the tweak sent to der8auer as he is a part of hwbot team.

Win7.

XTU reports a frequency of 5,7 GHz. I think if we set the limit there to 5,1 it could solve the issue. I think there is a problem with reading out the frequency wrong and XTU does some "score calculation" (which we know doesn't exist )

 

Maybe you can recheck that?

I saw some results with bs like 458345395395035 there and they are in line with others)

^ mine says 5.1 when 5.0 tho

aaand:

RIP XTU, nice find & report TR

i'm for replace xtu with spi 32m @ 5ghz, in the finals there's always spi 32m and if the purpose of xtu @ 5ghz was see who is the more skilled with the same frequency, well the spi 32 can be perfect.

 

I don't waste my time trying to compete with some bugged result.

 

But this is only my opinion

Adding another benchmark now...i think that's not a good solution for those that already did their scores!

Deleting xtu ok...but adding another benchmark...limited again at 5ghz...we all know which psc kit will win!

I`m for pi32 5ghz too , but its 1 week behing ,

just disable xtu , and other leave the same , with same points 35/25 : fs/pifast

is more difficult than that, psc + skills win, psc without skills loose.

I stop commenting here.

the decision must be done by others!

I just hope it's a good decision...and I'm ready for everything!

Mh is the performance that much off if XTU reports 5,1? Doesnt look that bad to be honest.

look at my score...reported 4972, screened 4972
