IF we can't post C2D scores on the 7th, I might not buy a Pro version of the next FM benchmark, simple as that.

IMO, EVERYONE concerned about this issue should send an email to the Sales department stating just this. Businesses always listen when you threaten their income.

IMHO, FM needs us, benchers, buyers, cometitors more then we need their lousy ORB. There is really no big deal to make a ledder like hwbot and has same functionality of ORB.
I really don't understand the ignorance of FM. Their ORB is below what would you expect from ladder: no way of differentiate between single or multi GPU, very late updates of new hardware, new drivers, some silly score limitations and so on and on.
Nevertheless poorly build 06 version and plenty of other software for benching and cometiting.

I agree. The futuremark ORB has one result moderator, while hwbot.org has 2, and hiring more. Futuremarks sometimes takes weeks to add new hardware, while the hwbot db usually contains the hw specs _before_ it is released to public. Futurmark does not support the concept of 'teams', while hwbot does.

I really see no point in referring to futuremark anymore, most diehard overclockers post their results on hwbot.org too anyways.


ps: i do not have a hidden agenda : )

how about we just ignore futuremark and go with www.hwbot.org ; if we all start exclusively using another Benchmarking Hall of Fame website, Futuremark will loose support of one the biggest OC forums, and this WILL have consequences for them. remember, it's the enthusiast market which help make Futuremark what it is today.

everybody got me on their ignore list?

I don't know whether this is pure coincidence, or whether they are feeling the heat of hwbot competition.

if anyone is curious (and lazy) to see what conroe is doing, check out this site

http://hwbot.org/

it has a great comparison between all kinds of systems.

a few hours later, next post:

Ok finished most of the CPU mappings, the conroes are now live, took a bit longer to seek out most of the versions I could find and map them (I tried to get them all in one go). Anycase it is live now...

Oh, and I raised the 2001 limit as well.

the only thing that is missing for hwbot is more secure subition of results, everybody knows that screenshot is easy to alter as for .3dp files i am not so sure.

[RichBa5tard]

Although you have a point, we have multiple moderators to monitor submissions manually, and results can always be reported as doubtfull when a moderator misses it.

We're working with other software companies to make their benchapp software submit directly to hwbot.org, but it will probably take a while before it's released.
