Hardware points have been recalculated based on a new algorithm, bench hard guys, now we need 400 points to rise 4 places!

Okay, points have been recalculated yet again, 200 points to 9th rank in the team rankings.

Just noticed that too! We are at 11k now.

I have been researching and figuring out which hardware I need to bench next...
Rev 3 did change a lot of things but I like the new theme and will get used to the new ranking system.

Edit: Only my hardware points changed... how is everything ranked now?

alibabar, our GPU king, just confirmed to me that he is quitting the hwbot. He lost over 1000 points and 4 rankings. Many of his multicard benchies, made on a chiller and with CPU under single-stager, are now worth closely to 0 points. Perhaps you fail to realize how much work is involved in dual-card subzero benching, especially with ancient cards such as X1950Pro which can, in some cases, only be overclocked via BIOS editing.

Another good HW grinder, Matti, also announced he is done with hwbot.

I have to add I don't like hwbot staff's attitude towards users. Especially with your doctrine "If you don't like it, stop using it". There are 30.000+ users and I'm pretty sure there is a vast majority that doesn't like this new point system.

Make a pool and ask people what they think about it, I dare you!

P.S.: Yes, I gained over 400 points in hwmaster category, jumping from 20th to 11th. But that's not the point. I'm just stating facts.
