PCMark05 , keep or remove from hwbot.

Next question, why would registering the benchmark be illegal? I mean, if you have a key why not use it?

If you get the key before benchmark supports and sales was discontinued - ok, nothing illegal with that.

But for now, the оnly way to get a key for PCMark04 is... using goggle for it.

I not sure "generated" keys, even for discontinued benchmark, is legal.

Not sure it matters anymore. You can't get an ORB validation for it anymore and that would be the only thing that would really be illegal about using a generated key.

I don't have direct comparison with more than 4 cores with exact the same settings.

Just found PCMark04 results with FX-4100 @ 6918 MHz and FX-8120 @ 6782 MHz:

4-core: 49.3 web page rendering, 317 fps WMV - http://hwbot.org/submission/2231053_

8-core: 55.2 web page rendering, 362 fps WMV - http://hwbot.org/submission/2240067_

Don't look at Overall score, FX-4100 result was done with wrong Grammar Check.

 

Windows was updated with AMD Bulldozer Performance Updates:

Windows6.1-KB2592546-x64.msu

Windows6.1-KB2645594-x64.msu

Windows6.1-KB2646060-v3-x64.msu

 

 

Do you use WMV settings suggested in PCMark05 Tweaking Thread?

I mean this: "Force NumThreads"=dword:00000002

Try playing with other values

 

I replied back in the tweaking thread:

its amazing how crazy pcmark05 is going now, so many submissions,

 

makes me really happy to see others are enjoying this bench as much as me, its becoming the new 3dmark01... don't need the best cpu to win, highly tweakable, scales with memory/cpu/gpu + storage, a great mix of elements

 

and i dont want to hear any complains about needing good storage, because to win superpi you need an amazing CPU or to win 3D you need a great GPU, both expensive if you need to buy multiple pieces...

 

good work guys, especially SteveRo and all the Greek benchers taking the lead from the original Mr PcMark dinos111

love seeing all the new submission's

psychology time!

 

Why submit so much now? The same points were available before the rules were adjusted/changed/however you see it...... what is it about the new rules that has made people want to bench PCM05 again? There are a lot of new faces, so I do not think it's just the "original PCM05 fans" who want to keep their rankings.......

[George_o/c]

Because now most of the tweaks are out in the open, so everybody can get a great score and have fun

[K404]

But great scores existed before...... the perception of "great" was a little different because the numbers were smaller

 

Is it more fun to bench because there is a better understanding of where "the line" is?

I'm one of the new pcmark05 faces. I started submitting PCM05 in January... I saw a lot of high points with less activity/competition. At that time, a lot of 1st place scores weren't at very strong CPU clocks so I also knew I could run faster chips, and I could do well if I knew the benchmark well, and had good storage. So I bought storage, and figured out how to run it well.

 

Stevero and I went back and forth quite a bit in a couple categories, and a couple other guys were submitting really good scores... I think all the new 1st place scores worth a lot of points was like blood in the water, brought out the sharks.

Maybe there are more scores now because you can get globals for every cpu class, by cores. I just recently got into pcmark,having only ran it once on an ssd about a year ago. El gappo was always talking about it and I finally decided to actually put some effort into it.

 

It's also nice that the majority of the popular tweaks are out in the open now. Once a new tweak is discovered, it's shared almost right away. A lot of people are also scoring pretty well with just a pair of ssd, granted they're typically 120gb + models. The nice thing is that there are several ways to go with, when it comes to storage, that can all generate a good score.

 

IMO, disclosing all the tweaks being out in the open kind of make it a level playing field. It once again comes down to clocks and storage. Recently we've seen people pushing their setups more and more and not just getting away with have a fancy storage setup. Every few days, gold medals change hands.

Much thanks Mr. Pro - you are one of the PCMark pioneers right there with Mr. Dinos111. Much thanks to the pioneers!

[Tiltevros]

just try Pcmark Vantage its more secure for now steveR0??? Pr0???? long time to see u playing there
