I was benching a new (used) card last night & submitted my scores, looking at other scores in the hall of fame I see that the top 2 guys are using different videocards than the specs for the card I'm submitting

x1650 512 mb is the card they are submitting:

http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/radeon_x1650_ddr2

 

But x1650 256 mb is the card they are using, it has it's own section to submit to:

http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/radeon_x1650_pro_ddr2

 

Says it was checked by a moderator (neoforce), does that mean we can just submit scores for similar hardware that we can get the highest ranking for?

(hey I'm only number 6 for my card, if I submit it as this card I can be #1 yay)

 

Doesn't make sense....

You do mix 1650 and 1650Pro - different cards

 

1650 256 or 512 Mb doesn`t influence seriously on result

I realize that, but they have a section with their exact hardware specifications & instead of submitting there & competing against more submissions with their hardware & getting a lower ranking, they submit it as a (slightly) different card with much less submissions to get higher ranking.

Does that mean I can just chose any x1650 category that will give me the best ranking whether I have that exact cards or not? You're basically saying that is OK & it shouldn't be.

Got it. After reading that I went & looked through some of that other category & they are mixed up in there as well. Looking at the screenshots GPU-Z reports them all as Radeon x1650 series whether they are Pro or whatever, since buying the card used I was going by that so guess I can't even say for sure what my own card is.

So no problem, thanks for explaining.

One is core RV530 and the other RV535.

One is 90nm technology, the other 80nm.

 

Quite a difference, but you need to look at the right places in GPU-z to see them. Cards initially look very similar
