Q, you know how you said you lost a ton of points? Check the Bot and see if you got some back. There was another update to the points system today. They decided to give points to the top 50% of people in hardware categories, instead of what they first set it at, which was top 33%.

Yea, I did get some back, but not even close to where I was before. I 'll just have to accept the new algorithm. What I really don't get is their logic of giving significantly more points to single gpus V. multiple GPU's. They say once more folks post results for multiple gpu's the point values should go up. But who's going to chase low point values just to hope they go up in the future, especially since most users only have single cards. We really got hammered on the quad 295 vantage scores. IMO, these are arguably harder to achieve, but worth considerably less points compared to an equivalent single card run. It's amazing to think that if you achieve a WR in vantage, or any gpu bench for that matter, that it's not really worth jack at the bot. Gotta go single card...and LN2 to compete in that category, or work twice as hard to gather the "second tier" multiple gpu points.
But on to better things....... John shot me some CPU suggestions to try. Cpu is key right now to my continued vantage success. Hard to believe I've been benching these cards for almost a year now...1/25 is their anniversary.
