Consider this tweak in question. He came up with it right? No one before that thought of something like this... but he did. Why do we assume he stopped there? And why should he give away his prize tweaks in public when people are flaming him left/right/and center.

I believe, in all entirety, that him posting this tweak proves what he is capable. Forcing him to divulge other tweaks to "clear" his name is just not done. How do you know he doesn't have 10 such tricks which in their own self give around 0.1->0.05s advantage, but when done together by a pro, would give the advantage we see in OPB's score.

OPB, all respect to you.
These scores are very out-of-line. That is a fact...

When a score is so, SO far out of line...on a benchmark that SO many people run and get extremely predictable scores based on hardware settings...it raises a few serious questions. The fact that this is OPB means that the scores weren't immediately dismissed. Almost anybody else, and they would have been immediately dismissed and blackballed from the community. We gave OPB his time.

In fact, it's been a year.

In fact, he never once even made claim that his scores were so great clock-for-clock, perhaps not realizing it. Even now, calling the performance product lousy, it doesn't instill confidence that he understands what the performance product can mathematically show about a score. It shows that his scores are great. So great that no one else has come within a mile of achieving them.

Let's repeat this: his scores are seriously out-of-line with ALL existing scores. No scores that are so far above what others have done can be accepted at face value, that'd be a disservice to the OC community. Regardless of who achieves them.

Not only have we not learned of a tweak (even after a year) that can come close to giving this kind of performance, we haven't even gotten a hint of one. We've gotten nothing but hissy fits, topic changes, and flames from OPB when asked for an explanation.

In all respect, KiD0M4N, but this CDT-IV tweak is nowhere near effective enough to account for but a small fraction of OPB's performance advantage. This tweak is worth maybe 10-15MHz over a well-tweaked system and his performance is hundreds of MHz ahead. This is not something we can just 'accept.'
