hey men, I have clearance from the bridge to hold a get together a couple weekends this summer. We have a futon and couple couches at our new town house, bring what you want to bench I will provide 5.8 sandy for gpu benching and ln2 as well. Anyone interested lmk and we can hook it up.

All my boints are all but gone, yet I am ranked higher in the world and USA standings then I used to be???

On the team members page I am 20th on the team but in my statitics is says I am 10th on the team.

I just can't make this add up with a calculator, just call me big Dummy or something,

I don't get it ??

I can't even compinplate other than new Global hardware what to bench, As you know I am typically slumming it to mop up hardware bointage, are those days over and id global the only true way to make head way, Is this revision based on out spending the competition ???

Another words does the Bot = Lucy

negative ghost rider, old gpu's are still TeH winzors lol

Your top 10 global get global points
Your top 20 HW get HW points

^this is for you personally, so what it does it makes you work harder on 20 scores then say trolling for 100 low scoring points (JUST PERSONALLY it still helps your team)

Team benefits from everything still

I suspect there are a lot of random bugs with the rankings. I'd let them settle it all for a few weeks before addressing ranking discrepancies.

Regarding boints in general, and hardware boints specifically, I think I'm actually going to like what they are trying to do. Look to see fiercer, and more relentless, competition for top 3 placement in popular hardware categories.

On the other hand, look for a bull market in cheating as people use subambient benching for enthusiast class scores.

^bingo, most of us dont care to even look at that page though imo

I see so the top 20 scores are what you need to concentrate on wheather it be CPU or GPU, it makes no difference, so hardware benching is still viable you just have to bring cold to the party, and your 20 best will help the team but only 10 best out of that twenty are qualified for global and will only count towards personal ranking

Sorry bro having a tough time wrapping my head around this, is that almost right ?

ain't gonna lie i got pretty lost on the bot this morning when i got home after 14hrs of drive...
back to the bot..
the only thing i REALLY like about the new bot over the old one is it's got a hardware library keeps track of what all you have benched ...
still browsing but more or less... WE WENT BACK TO 10TH now! that SUX!
getting my vigeo cards modded and just drop the bastards under LN2 along with the new 1366 that may or may not be here sometime soon.. what ever

bottom line.. i quite my job and now school is over i am ready to kick some ass let's go!
may not kick alotta ass but i am excited tho

I will split it up for ya bro

FOR PERSONAL SCORES
Top 10 submissions that bring you the most global (IE GTX-580 scores etc)
+
Top 20 submissions that bring you the most HW boints (IE 8800 series scores etc)
=
Your personal ranking score only, Your ranking as an individual


FOR TEAM SCORES
All are good for points its just that being in the top 10 of a certain piece of hardware is more valuable. Also team power points are affected by the top bencher of a peice of hardware per team (supposed to cut down on benefits of sharing and allow smaller teams to compete)

[Witchdoctor]

ahhh

got it, so as a team repeat hardware is usless other than the top score for said team,

being that is the case as a team we should come up with comprehensive lists of hardware that has not been benched and that reaps the highest hardware value, as well as updating pre submited hardware as new CPU's will take said hardware further with each platform generation, AKA someone busted their ass on a 5770 under cold with a 920 gets crushed in AM by some smuk with a hot rod sandy on air.

still very exploitable to say the least.

Patch is right, it is going to get feirce for the top spots, sounds like fun

I am set and ready to go cold upon LGA2011 release .....

Just need to figure out how to mod these gpu's I guess if I want to compete at the top

Thinking this opens up AMD's platform for some formidable hardware scoring

chomping at the bit here in the Amish country ,

Thanks for putting it in retardo terms so I could understand it ..........
