To Mr.Scott:
As I said yesterday I ran some more test to identify the reason to this high scores.
I realize that (probably cause of my habit with spi) I've set pcmark to run in realtime and that gave me a boost of ~300 points.
I wasn't sure (actually I'm still not sure) if this was legit so I made a quick search and came out with this:
And this:
So I looked into the executable to see which version i was using and find out it's the 1.0.0.
Then I gave a look to the hwbot rules for pcmark04 and:
and
Should run the exe in realtime be considered "tricking it to believe it ran faster" ?
From rog.asus.com forum:HOWTO: Benchmark for HWbot
I've searched also into the HWBForum but didn't find anything
In conclusion:I'm still not sure if this submission shuld be considered legit.
If only one person tells me that this result shuld not be considered regular I'll remove it ASAP (my life don't depends on that ) and submit my best result with priority set to normal (somthing like 1000 points)
I know i wrote a wall of text (in a super mario-ish kind of english ) for a 15 years old cpu,an almost irrilevant benchmark and for one useless gold cup, but I always fell the need to be extra sure of what I'm doing.
I prefer to be the incontestable last one than a suspectful first.
Mr.Scott says:
Totally legal. Good job and thanks for the explanation.
GENiEBEN says:
Priority change is allowed, don't worry about that.
Skyline says:
What i was preoccupied about was the version used.
If I understand it correctly "newer" version of pcmark04 make the application run in normal priority even if set to realtime from taskmanager,so using a older version (with priority =realtime) give a substantial advantage.
My pleasure man

No problem either, there are similar situations with other FM benchmarks.
Skyline says:
Alright then,thanks for the confirmation
