Posted October 23, 200915 yr Ticket ID: 633 Priority: Medium Just noticed my 9600gt has only 48 shaders. Adding own category would be much appreciated.\r\n\r\nLink:\r\n
October 23, 200915 yr There should be a category where he can post scores with this card, a category that fits the specs and performance of the GPU. 9600gt ddr2 may fit performance wise. 9600gso is out of the question, it's way faster because of the 96 shaders. Same with the regular ddr3 9600gt category, because of the shaders. The DDR2 memory may compensate a little for the missing shaders. On the other hand: posting a score with a card that has the wrong memory type as well as the wrong amount of shaders isn't exactly optimal. However: if creating a new category is not an option that's the only thing you can do
October 23, 200915 yr ...so 9600gt ddr2 it is:) If there were a million different 9 series cards i'd agree with you, but atm there are not too many - this one isn't even close to fit in any category. I'm sure that if more "weird" cards show up then at some point there will be no need for more rankings as the specs are always pretty close to some other card that's already in the database. OP SHOULD be allowed to put this card in a category that's fair for him and the competitiors in that category. If we can't add hardware because it's not "common enough" then HWBot is moving in a very bad direction... Plus: http://hwbot.org/forum/showpost.php?p=28268&postcount=37 This is not a "complete VGA database" if you don't include cards that are quite different from the reference model
October 23, 200915 yr Author Then i wont waste ln2 on this card, since im not into posting my card in wrong categories. Thanks anyway... PS: thanks bruce for support Edited October 23, 200915 yr by Tzk
October 24, 200915 yr ...but if OP actually does what I say and posts his results in some category, will his submissions be removed because we don't have - or want to create - a category that fits with his card? Or is 9600gt ddr2 a decent category to use in this case?
June 16, 201311 yr Author Now that this ticket is almost 4 years old, i want to bring it to an (hopefully good) end I just saw this post by K404: http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=37138 and will keep posting my results in the 9600 GSO G94 category. My 9600gt has same specs as his 9600 GSO. Hopefully staff is fine with this? Ticket can be closed then
