Points are based on... what?

[trodas]

Guys, it is not like I do overclocking for some points... I do it for fun of pushing hardware and finding the limits... and then moding the hardware and finding the limits again

 

So, screw points.

 

However... it just make me wonder ... on what the points are based?

 

A good example:

 

http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/radeon_9600_xt/

 

So in short, for 1st place in Aquamark, user got 7.2pts... for 1st place in 3DMark 01 user got 10.4pts... for 1st place in 3DMark 03 user got 9.4pts... for 1st place in 3DMark 05 user got 8.4pts... for 1st place in 3DMark 06 user got 4.6pts.

 

And zero pts for 1st place in 3DMark 99 and 3DMark 00 :celebration:

 

It that about right, or it is calculated based on ... what? Number of participating users, or what...?

Check http://hwbot.org/benchmarks/videocard

to see what benchmarks don't get hardware points at all (like 3d 2000 and 99). As for the difference, yes,

it is calculated based on ... Number of participating users

Under 20 submissions (users) first place gets 2.0 points and after 20 it starts to raise. AFAIK, 49.9 is the maximum hardware points for the first place.

50.0 for 4770k in xtu

Under 20 submissions (users) first place gets 2.0 points

 

Ah! So I quessed it right! Now... I still have to report a bug, because I get 0 points, not 2.0 points And see also there, how many zero point scores there are 1st ones http://hwbot.org/hardware/motherboard/pm8m3-v/

 

50.0 for 4770k in xtu

 

Heheh, you wish!

I see none 1st ones with zero points in points-awarded benchmarks.

3DMark 1999 and 2000 are not points awarded bench? What the...
