Bruno Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Here are my suggestions: 1. competition points should stay, as motivation to participate. Yet, I don't like the limitation from Road to Pro Division to a single DIV points, when I can bench several platforms for different DIVs and get more competition points in the end. "Top 10 entries of current year (seasonal ranking) and top 10 all time (career ranking) count for member points, no more oc-esports/road to pro/challenger points." That sounds ok! 2. I liked better when points in competitions were percentage of top score, not fixed (50-48-46-etc). That way, you can score no 1 at the stages where you are very good (and get max of points for that score) and even scoring lower at other stages, you have a good chance to hit top3 or top5 in the end. 3. What if the points for a submission would be actual score (eventually divided by something. Ex; 3dmark 03 score of 119206 would give me 119.206 points)? That would not limit the maximum points possible and make the user try to squeeze every bit of performance for a better score. On the other hand, the user final ranking should be calculated with an algorithm that should be dependent on the number of submissions that user made over last year (just the ones that gave the ranking for each benchmark, not all submissions from that year) (basically use seasonal ranking as a parameter in final algorithm). So they lose points for global inactivity along with annual competition points. 4. I like the Career Points idea. 5. Seasonal ranking is not ok as final ranking. 6. OC Esports interface is shit, so get rid of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauf Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 36 minutes ago, richba5tard said: That's a bad example. All submissions with a 1070 which scored about the same use extreme cooling. This is not an example of unfair points, but of either a very good chip or a user which did not change the "stock cooling" default to the cooling he used. LN2: https://uat.hwbot.org/submission/3578161_buildzoid_3dmark___fire_strike_geforce_gtx_1070_20612_marks/ Chilled water: https://uat.hwbot.org/submission/3929098_totalnet_3dmark___fire_strike_geforce_gtx_1070_20653_marks/ Dry ice: https://uat.hwbot.org/submission/3728863_shar00750_3dmark___fire_strike_geforce_gtx_1070_20220_marks/ The more you limit the amount of submissions, the more money comes into play. Yet you suggest the opposite. What is more expensive? Using LN2 and top end cpu/memory/mobo to get the most out of your GTX 1070 for one benchmark, or using air/water and do 10 benchmarks with your GTX 1070? Obviously the latter is cheaper. HWBOT has always been about the compromise between showing of world records which are crazy to achieve both in skill and money, and making it fun for the community who just wants to mess around with decent oc's and improved cooling. We don't benefit from excluding either party, but we can't make it ideal for both. How can an example that shows exactly what I mean be "bad"? I'm sorry but you just don't know what you're talking about. The clocks are normal for a pascal GPU on stock cooler. There's a reason why these cards don't scale so well on extreme cooling, but it's besides the point. Check 970 then, it's the same story: 970: https://uat.hwbot.org/submission/3992854_dragon_soop_3dmark___fire_strike_geforce_gtx_970_14178_marks or 770: https://uat.hwbot.org/submission/3629333_h2o_vs_ln2_3dmark___fire_strike_geforce_gtx_770_10426_marks or 780: https://uat.hwbot.org/submission/3761539_h2o_vs_ln2_3dmark___fire_strike_geforce_gtx_780_14287_marks or 680: https://uat.hwbot.org/submission/3061153_pulse88_3dmark___fire_strike_geforce_gtx_680_10007_marks or 670: https://uat.hwbot.org/submission/3823010_shar00750_3dmark___fire_strike_geforce_gtx_670_8631_marks Need more? For CPUs it's the same. There are many examples of stupid hw points. Check this profile for example: https://uat.hwbot.org/user/pkbo/#Points And there are many examples of stupid globals also, I've written about them before. The question is WHY do we have points and rankings? WHAT is to be rewarded and what should the rankings show? As long as I have been a member no one has been able to answer this. It's always been a little bit of this and a little bit of that, which meant a system that has no clear purpose. If you don't know the why and what you want to do, how can you do it properly? For me a ranking and points system should always award the best achievements. Not just hand out points arbitrarily to "everyone who wants to mess around with decent oc's".

Because when points where initially launched, participation on HWBOT boomed. Most people love points/karma/likes/kudos/whatever. It's virtual and meaningless, but people love gathering stuff. If you don't care about point, good for you! Reason more to just say "just go live with rev8" and let me focus on other stuff than damn points for once. Your example was bad because it did not make your point clear. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigblock990 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 (edited) @richba5tard I have a question about the new "seasons" in rev8. If a user rebenches the same piece of hardware year after year, do they need to always beat the previous score for it to get counted in the current season? For example if you sub 150k score 3dm03 in 2019, then in 2020 you rebench that same hardware and sub 149k does the new score count to 2020 season or not?

I'm all for making it cheaper, but you can never factor out binning The objective is to allow people to take part in competitive overclocking/benchmarking in my opinion, which doesn't just mean the top 0.1%, that's just a WR tracker. Also to a certain degree yes, but one guy having one binned chip that gets a bunch of global 1st places/golds isn't any better or worse than someone who does well in a wide range of benchmarks and with a range of hw. So you need to have some kind of compromise in my opinion, as having too small a number of scores counting will mean those without highly binned chips will next get near the top, but on the other hand having every score count for example would turn it into just a spamfest of results hah (which would still possibly favour the top end benchers I think actually due to the points scaling) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fasttrack Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 If I ever see HWBOT running on a clear and specific path, I will open a box of champagne. As long as this mixture of participants continues, this will never happen. SPLIT THEM UP ! The needs of Elites are totally irrelevant to the rest. As long as the fundamental problem is not understood, even revision 137 will not be able to solve the issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexmaj467 Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Sorry for my English. Comrades , the Number of global points for the season interesting for those who uses the top iron and the cooling Nitrogen. I is the number of no matter though 5 results put. (decide among those who are on Global scores work). 10 Global per season Let it. Global 20 for the season, let it be 20. 30 Global points let it be . Those who do not receive Global points this number does not matter. Leave those who use water or air cooling 30 Hardware results per season . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
