marco.is.not.80 Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 I'm not complaining at all - just want to be clear - because I realized I don't actually understand how points work when I thought I did. When I go here I have an entry that places me third for 8x Ryzen 7 3800X GPUPI for CPU - 1B ranking. That gets me this: When I click on the the link for the entry that has 5th spot for 8x Ryzen 7 3800X GPUPI for CPU - 1B ranking I see this: How does that work? Help me to understand? Thanks in advance! Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Don_Dan Posted January 26, 2023 Crew Share Posted January 26, 2023 What exactly is your question? 3rd place receives 7 points, 5th place receives 5 points. I don't see anything wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco.is.not.80 Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 The global points. What was so different that one had a bunch of global points and the other had 0? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted January 26, 2023 Crew Share Posted January 26, 2023 Why not click on the link Best submission? You will end up here: https://hwbot.org/submission/5008645 That is your best score for this benchmark on an 8 core CPU For the rest: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wutske Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) Very simply put Global points: only your best submission per benchmark will grant you global points, doesn't matter what hardware you use. Not all benchmarks are eligible for global points, if there's nothing in the global points column in the benchmarks overview, then you can't receive global points. So you only can only have 20 submissions with global points. Hardware points: only your best submission per benchmark for that specific hardware will grant you hardware points. Same story as above, if there's nothing in the hardware points column then there's no points to get for that benchmark. Took me a while to figure out but once you get it, it all makes total sense.

marco.is.not.80 Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 Thank you very much - I get it and realize I've been pushing for global points past my maximum 20! Doh! I didn't realize there was a limit so I've always been going to the benchmark page and just doing the ones which have global points... time to start tackling some of the other stuff ? Thanks for enlightening me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
