trodas Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) I just checked and in *shock* realized, that GTX 970 and GTX 980 have no image on HWbot! WTF! That call for fix. http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/geforce_gtx_980/ At first I was like - well, I have to be objective and choose generic nVidia image to not side with some company (or being accused to do so). But upon checking the nVidia images there: http://www.geforce.com/sites/default/files-world/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-970-front.png http://www.geforce.com/sites/default/files-world/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-980-front.png I come to realize that these pictures are fakes. There is only the "7" chaging to "8" and each other pixel(s) are the same. So these nVidia images I did not want to be used, as they are clearly photoshoped fakes. Shame on you, nVidia! So to get more interesting images, I have to pick a sides. I decided that what company produced card, that get WR in Firestrike Extreme test, wins. In case of GTX 980, it is eVGA: http://hwbot.org/submission/2766654_steponz_3dmark___fire_strike_extreme_geforce_gtx_980_10459_marks 2300MHz core, absolutelly stunning result! For GTX 980, the image is this: http://cdn.videocardz.com/1/2014/09/04G-P4-2988-KR_XL_7.jpg (a bit cleaned up) Enjoy! :ws: Edited June 16, 2015 by trodas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trodas Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 I still believe that my method of choice was better :-) But you are the boss that determine the end result. Still... that is unfair for eVGA that wins this round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 To be fair, ref card it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trodas Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Well, to present an oposition - no. I did not think that THIS is fair. Fair is show image of the best card. And that is not the reference card. Othervise what do winner get? Nothing? Is that fair? Who can call that fair? Do HWbot give out points like a candy to mediocre results? No? Why then even try to build best card, when reference card win? That did not seems to be to be fair at all to me. This actually support mediocrity. Sort of like political corectness. An straightjacket for freedom of speech. ... Not to mention that the ref images are ughly (they are nothing like the Fury cards from AMD, witch are beautifully designed to impress) and photoshop fakes. That is another issue. ... I just see things differently. The winner should be rewarded. Somehow. When there is a chance - why not? We did not have the sales data to determine with is the most common GTX 980 (970) card there it is, but we do have data to find out, witch is the fastest of these. And reward the creator of the fastest card by at least the image, that it will shown the best card from these GTX 980 cards, there it is. That seems fair to me. Or do you see pictures of losing / last athlets in the news of Olympic games, or do you see the winners? (that is the logic that drive me to this choice and seems I did the mistake of openly explaining it, hoping for sort of approval... and getting something different ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
