Though my points didnt drop much but my rank has dropped drastically, looks like its easier to get boints on the new failboat for many.....

I just hope they have put some work into the slowness of their site. It kills me at times. I see they have a new category for max FSB. I wonder if that is going to include max BCLK or if that will be a different category. I hope a different category as there is quite a contrast there. I am liking the new achievements they have. I feel for Classic Platforms though as it looks like they are taking a big hit in points. All in all the Bot has knocked the skin off the ball on this new revision. Oh and that 3d problem I mentioned a couple pages ago are now fixed today and awarded more points on my best 3d benches. Looks like it was them not having the global points awarded yet. They most of heard me. :laughing:

Yea CP took it hard but OCA seems to have benefited


It sucks for CP as I feel the new format basically dismisses the hardware they have worked so hard on mastering ... not cool IMO


They need to just leave ti alone IMO

It could also mean discouraging new OC'ers from getting into the sport too. Not everyone can afford the new stuff and must make do with what's available to them. With a economy still trying to recover and no real upswing in jobs resulting in hours being trimmed down for those of us still working, that makes it more of an issue.
I'm thankful to still have my job at least and just getting by for now with not alot of $$ to spare on stuff, otherwise I would have replaced the bad DDR3 RAM in my AM3 build by now along with other improvements.

Looks like they are changing it as we speak!!!!! As a friend in the top 50 said...The top 100 will be forced to bench the older stuff which in return will lower the scores of the ones below in time..short time!!!! As it is now these scores have not been messed with..That will change...Also people will be shooting for the ORB score rather than the Bots score...

Still down for upgrades. I am interested to see what exactly has changed because when I looked at it last it did not make a lot of sense to me. I understand the GPU change, but not what happened to the CPU stuff.

Did you notice everybody's point sig is down..Must be into it....I looked yesterday and was shocked..I was actually up 5 points from before....I never even joined Bots until I started with the I7....:blink:

I thought for sure i would wipe out......

Though it definitely is great for me but 3d rankings instead of GPU's should have been based on cards. With rev3 5870 will be the top most single GPU card which is as such great for a short on cash OCer like me, but I am sure sales on 5890 and dual GPU's would drop drastically....Also as Neuro said changes in CPU cores doesnt make much sense IMO but I wont complain, according to the test server I am pretty close to Top most ranking for 1 core processors which has netted me a good amount of hardware points......

You will have to go to the signature page and force a refresh, Ctrl + F5.

From 450+ points to this...total horseshit.
