RoccoESA Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 "XP Startup cannot exceed 220MB/s" my system creates 226MB/s with SSD-raid0 - my Score was reported ... (under WinXP/ Win Vista a little less) i have not ram-disk, not sw-ram ... this regulation became outdated for today's systems can't that be adapted? thx Quote
RoccoESA Posted February 10, 2010 Author Posted February 10, 2010 I have a normal ICH10R (on the most actual MoBo) with SSD - that is today nevertheless already nearly standard - or? I think, 250MB/s would be a limit, which is up-to-date (i believe FM-ORB say 300MB/s) Quote
knopflerbruce Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 We can't increase it just a little bit here and there, that makes no sense. It's better to just leave it at 220, so people who benched it in the past don't get beaten because of a rule change;) Quote

It's no different than changing the way hardware points are calculated on older hardware, and nobody hesitated in doing that. Quote
Massman Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 It's significantly different from changing the points algorithm. Quote
Mr.Scott Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 It's significantly different from changing the points algorithm. The results would be the same. The people who benched previously would be left in the dust. IMO, there is no difference. Quote

It's no different than changing the way hardware points are calculated on older hardware, and nobody hesitated in doing that. The hardware boint changes doesn't change much, all benchmarks still have the same limits - which means older and newer scores were made using the same set of rules for the benchmarks (more or less). However, when changing the pcmark limit, all scores with 200+ mb/s or so are easily killed by the new 280+mb/s ones (if the limit is 300mb/s). If you can point out a similar change caused by rev. 3, feel free to tell us;) Quote

Ever since the 220mb/s limit was made (to prevent scores from "fake" harddrives - that don't display the real performance of the pc, either) people have been limited by it. Removing it is unfair, no matter how good today's HW is. I can understand it's frustrating that you have to make your HW underperform, but at least the rules are equal for all - not just the ones posting scores today, but also for those who posted yesterday;) HWBot isn't all about the highest tech, you know... it's just as much about older gear.

Massman Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 The results would be the same. The people who benched previously would be left in the dust. IMO, there is no difference. It's inherently different to change a reward system that effects all rankings than it is to change a limitation of a benchmark which only changes a very local problem. Just as an example: changing the algorithm affects 3Dmark Vantage scores. Changing the HDD subtest limitation affects the PCMark scores performed on hardware platforms capable of exceeding the initial limitation (eg: not S478). It's a very local change. Quote

Its not unfair? you talk again and again about old results - it is not just as unreasonably as a i5 to permit around those a scores Pentium-user not to endanger my results are not importantly - I make this 4 fun ... hwbot must go with the time ... edit personal note: HDD gerneral Usage 500+MB/s and slow down the HDD for Startup is manipulate the (sub-)result - and this is cheating for validity Edited February 10, 2010 by RoccoESA Quote
