I don't.  I thought about it, but never got started.

I think you should do it considering how much benching you do. 

[Vellinious]

It's kinda fun, but...I'm starting to realize that you just don't get much of anything for points without REALLY serious cooling.  It's kinda off putting, posting up a really good score for a benchmark with a water cooled system, and then get exactly squat for points out of it.

I just created an account.  Only time will tell if I actually do anything with it.

Slid into the Time Spy Hall of Fame top ten for single card at #8.

lol... I have the same score but it's invalid due to driver version and I'm on crossfire...

so what do we learn from that - to compete with anything globally you need nVidia hardware and a 6950X minimum....

That's isn't always true.  Very efficient water scores can normally keep up with or beat dice and phase.

They've got the top three or four locked down.  The 6950x has a brutal physics score!  I'm really hoping later batches clock higher as the manufacturing process improves.

 

Then again, it might be best to hold off for Skylake X.

Well it have 2 more cores and better IPC.

For that price I expect brutal performance

I was thinking that some of the higher clocked Xeons could get on there. I wished 3DMark supported Dual CPU so bad!

Chilled maybe....and with the right hardware.  Run anything less than a $1k processor though, and you get NO points for the really great overclock, and best score in the entire world for THAT setup....oh no, you compete with everyone.  Overall rank:  50, but compare the graphics scores and then you're in the top 20 and would actually get some points.  They give some hardware points and occasionally see some rankings points, but.....the guy with the $10k rig and absolutely no clue how to overclock a GPU will earn more points than the guy that can make his GPU stand up and dance a jig, but only has $4k in his rig.....

Lesson:  It doesn't matter if you're good, the people with money win.

Lol, meh

hence 6950X is the only viable CPU option

[Vellinious]

With that CPU you certainly wouldn't have to work as hard to earn HWBot points....yes.

Most stuff repeatedly posted gets annoying, but this gets funnier every time.

Definitely applies to more than just hwbot.

I would disagree.  I am 238th in the world and top 10 in the UK and I only have x79 as my most powerful platform. There is a lot of skill involved to get to the top,  you might do better with more money like any sport,  but it requires skill and knowledge to get to the top.

it's not annoying if it's true

[Vellinious]

For a lot of the most often run graphics card benchmarks, there's some kind of physics scores involved.  I have some really awesome graphics scores in my submissions, but they count for exactly squat, because they use overall scores.  There are some benches that the physics score doesn't count for as much in, like Catzilla, but it's still there. CPU doesn't play a great part in Heaven, but, again...it's still there, especially with more powerful GPU setups.  

I've been able to move myself up in the novice class just using GPU benches, but....it'll have to be done by volume and hardware points, instead of by scoring rankings points.  I don't run cold...most I'll ever do, maybe, is run chilled.  

I'm still having fun with it, but....with the money I have to spend, there's only so many hardware points that are going to be available for me to move up.  /shrug  I'll just be happy seeing my graphics scores compete and beat a lot of the guys with better hardware.

I greatly enjoy beating Titan setups in GPUPI

but yeah, i mostly get points for hardware...

[Vellinious]

lol, yeah, that'd be pretty rewarding.

I need to download some of the more obscure GPU benches and get them done with the 980tis, then switch back to the 290x and get scores posted for those....by then, maybe my turn will be up in the step up queue for the 1080s.  MOAR HARDWARE POINTS, YAY!  lol  Might even break into the top 20 in Novice...

Benchmark: Time Spy 1.0
CPU: i5 4690k @4.4GHz

Could maybe get top of my class when this heatwave passes and I can clock my GPU higher. Being 400MHz down on the CPU from top spot doesn't help either, sadly, would kill for watercooling

[IGJoe2192]

I really wish it went off of just GPU score, RX480 x2 is substantially higher than overclocked GTX1080. http://www.3dmark.com/fs/9197102
