_LiteSpeed_ Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 And soon Nvidia will intro the 9600GT which is the same level as a single HD3870.... Slots, not cores for videocards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 2/3rd of those who voted, chose single rankings, so we will not change the rules. 1/3rd is a large group that disagrees, but i see no other solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazx Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 it will be some time before we see single gpu cards back in this group with the power of these 2x cards hwbot holds allot of power the single gpu is dead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 We have let the people make the choice, dramaqueen. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazx Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 lol queen right or wrong one thing is for sure unless the next gen of single gpu cards are faster then the 2x no one will buy them so you have taken control of the global benching market with this manufacturers will be unable to sell single gpu cards to benching teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I think it is very, very likely the next gen nvidia series will be much faster. Heck, i think even the G9x based 8800GTX/Ultra will be faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_LiteSpeed_ Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 As I said Nvidia is around the corner with the 9000 series witch will smoke ATIx2 again. I don't know if HWbot has that much influence on the Graphics card market. ATIx2 for the price is fantastic deal for the performance. Its about sales to them. They don't care about us unless they are not making a profit. This setup is in a new class all its own. By design,,,ATI,,for profit.. It is not in the same league or class of anything that has been standard. Single, Crossfire, or SLI,,,So judge it fairly on facts, and not by what people think it should be.

MaSell Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 So now for global points we need strong sli/cf or x2. We can throw away single 8800 series card, cards with the fasters gpus on earth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Because lot's of tweakers have recently invested in 8800GT(S)'s and can't be at the top, I assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew pro Posted February 13, 2008 Crew Share Posted February 13, 2008 i dont think single gpu is dead, look at 3dmark2001 my favourite game, so far its dominated by single card, and this is argueably the most skillful 3d bench... i agree its hard to keep up if you want to be on top, but does anyone really need to be on top, alot of the hardest to get scores are the ones at the top of popular classes, 2900s, gts, gt, if you can get scores at the top of this range, these people can be proud of their achievements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazx Posted February 13, 2008 Author Share Posted February 13, 2008 Because lot's of tweakers have recently invested in 8800GT(S)'s and can't be at the top, I assume. i think you miss my point a little on this there is a great deal of fun to be had benching the simplest setup 1xgpu and 1xcpu is the the most basic 3D setup that can be benched and for that reason alone i would leave the 1xgpu in there own class Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Predator Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 What i see a bit of "unfair" and sorry for the OT, it's the fact of older scores being dramatically lowered in hwboints as soon as new gen kills the latest one i see my 3D scores with single 8800 worthing a crap of 4 points at max , when i remember being 3rd only behind hipro and Vince in the single rankings, i put a lot of effort and LN2 in those runs and now i could get the same points benching two very very old CPUs at stock i think more weight to the hardware hwboints should be addressed, especially those benchs with a lot of competition like 2900s or 8800GTX/Ultra sorry for the OT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richba5tard Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Predator, we will increase the amount of hardware points gained in popular categories shortly. As a matter of fact, we already did that adjustment, but we removed it before upgrading the engine as we want to be 100% sure the end effect is better than before.
