Trade your 8350 for a 2600K or 3770K

I keep on hinting but don't think anyones that stupid lol

 

[DOM]

you do know that benchmark doesn't score any points right?

http://hwbot.org/benchmarks/videocard

dom has you beat too, but i think he benches for another team?

Yeah I oc for another team but stopped ocing

should join us and help out

just hit 15.2 in cinebench running at 5.25Ghz and Wprime32M 4.309s. And I'm wondering if an error free Wprime run is faster than one with errors and by how much?

 

[buildzoid]

submitted a 15.41pts cinebench score I wanted to push higher but temps were getting out of control because my chip is actually pretty bad and needs well over 1.7v to hit 5.3ghz.

 

[d1nky]

hey thanks for submitting!

Im just looking at the rankings on the 3960x, man youre .9 away from best h20, same clocks. so maybe its in the ram or you could try the boot phenomenon, where you reboot-run test several times and the rate of error will gain points, save the best!

the guy that has the spot above you has tighter ram timings at a higher speed, this is where he has you.


I think others should start submitting more, would be great if some people could add highest clocks or highest ram on extreme cooling when they got the chance.

we really need these intel boys to push the gpu benches and net points.

Yeah, yeah. Been meaning to, but between work, school, and car work, just haven't had time. BTW, tri-fire still isn't working in 3DMark 13 Fire Strike for me, so that's kind of a moot bench for me right now, otherwise I would have posted some runs.

 

[buildzoid]

I'd like to do 3d benches except my 7970 is really really reluctant to do anything above 1165/1675mhz though I will be getting another 7950/7970 for Xfire and who knows it might just be a golden chip. I also don't have any 3dmark benchmarks.

Sooooo, DL them. Most are free, until you get to the newer ones IIRC.

THIS.

aquamark, 3d 03, 3d 01 etc are all cpu based, the graphics is that old and crap it is mainly computed by cpu.

hence people use them for LN2, overclock the cpu to hell and use a moderate card with slight oc.

look at the best scores on H20, do a run and see what you can do.

BTW theyre pretty fun, ive tried. some are even like DAFUQ?

also theres plenty of RAM/CPU benchmarks like superpi that can be had.

 

[EarthDog]

Exactly. ALL 2D is free (Wprime, SuperPi, Maxmemm), and with the right CPU, cooling, and scores, can yield a shed load of boints.

Right now, TPU is so "new" to this scene, that nearly anything anyone can bench that someone else hasnt will get your TPP up.

 

[buildzoid]

Maxxmem isn't for points wish it was since I get a pretty high score in it
I already hold the best team score for Wprime32M
I keep forgetting to do SuperPi

 

[EarthDog]

Oops.. I mean the ram validation speed... sorry.

 

[buildzoid]

hey guys what does hwbot mean by data file on the aquamark submission page?

 

[EarthDog]

I think the new wrapper (I havent run it) will create a data file... kind of like the Hwbot Unigine Engine wrapper does.

I believe it is also in the rules at the Hwbot website on that benchmark... not sure though.

 

[buildzoid]

Ok so I did that but the file is 4.9MB and errors when I upload it.

 

[d1nky]

Ive never uploaded an aquamark, surely someone else has here.

if not ill ask a mod on the site

 

[cdawall]

hey guys what does hwbot mean by data file on the aquamark submission page?

Hmmm weird all of mine are old school submission's with the pic only. Must be an updated thing have you checked aquamarks rule page?

 

[DOM]

Are you guys using the new ver that looks like this?
http://img.hwbot.org/u6948/image_id_945371.png

should be this ver http://downloads.hwbot.org/downloads/benchmarks/HWBOT_aquamark_v.2.26.exe

 

[buildzoid]

Does anyone know the optimum core count for aquamark or is more always gonna be better because I saw some SB i7s at higher clocks with better scores even though I know for a fact that they can't be faster in multithreaded benchmarks

 

[EarthDog]

Aqua mark is single threaded. More cores does not matter over two.

 

[buildzoid]

k thanks
So 3 cores at 5.4Ghz should get me into the 380+k pts range

 

[vega22]

am is all about mhz, the faster the core the better the score

 

[d1nky]

so who will be benching posting scores this weekend,

we need more members and to keep this alive!!!!!!!!!

 

[buildzoid]

I'll be doing Wprime 32M SuperPi 1M PiFast Aquamark CPU frequency (going for 5.4 on 2/3 cores)and Maybe XTU. Also I want to ask if anyone knows where I can get stripped down OSes for benching. Or at least a place to download windows XP other than piratebay. I also have a GTX 590 lying around so if anyone suggest a use for it?
I think that we should make a team wide competition for like 4 days with some kind of prizes. ie: steam game keys.
I also plan to pull in a friend who's gonna be building his first system sometime soon: Athlon II x4 750K or Phenom II 965 BE + 7870XT
