[H]ardOCP 3.06 review and 3DMark scores

[bmg]

I read the [H]ardOCP 3.06 review last night and was amazed at the 3DMark scores they were getting. They showed an improvement of from about 16.9k to 17.8k just by enabling hyperthreading. I've seen no improvement from my testing and checking other reviews showed they weren't either. Even the 16.9k number at non-overclocked speeds seemed high. At some point this morning they changed the 17.8k number and now they're claiming the 17.8k number never existed! [H]ardOCP has always been one of my favorite sites, but the fact that they're now saying that anyone who says they changed the 3DMark numbers is a liar is just unbelievable.

Has anyone here seen substantial 3DMark improvement due to enabling hyperthreading? Doesn't 16.9k for a non-overclocked 3.06/P4PE and non-overclocked 9700 pro seem quite high?

Update: someone on the [H] SI forum asked if anyone else remembered the 17.8k number from last night. I replied that yes, he didn't imagine it, I'd definitely seen it also. (In fact I remember it well, since it motivated me do rerun a few benchmarks to see if I could get similar scores.) This thread was promptly deleted.

Did you do the registry adjustments after you reloaded the operating system with 3.06 installed w/ HT enabled in bios?

I PM'd you some registry adjustments, happy testing.

bmg I just read JC's other thread about the score change, and how he got banned for pointing it out. Now I know JC did not have too much Vodka.:D

Shame on [H].:mad:

I simply posted a reply to JC's post, as did a couple of others, saying that indeed the number had changed from 17.8k and that I remember that number very well, since I spent time thinking about it and rebenching to try to duplicate it. For that I am now banned by IP on the [H] forum, I can't even access the forum webpage any more, as I get banned IP message. I just can't fathom what's now happening at [H]ardOCP. A cover up of major magnitude is apparently in progress, but why?? Why not simple admit that the original number was wrong and forget about it. Those of us that know what the previous 3DMark number was are the one's Kyle's called liars. The banning and deleted threads aren't people that have ever been a problem there or have an axe to grind with Kyle or Steve. I doubt 'Viggen's thread still exists, it's probably been deleted by now.:mad:

The same thing is being discussed on the overclocking forum, so direct any followups there.
