:shudder: Kevin is actually my RL name :eek:

Sorry mate, pure coincidence. Kevin's a bloke I know in my local who is an unbelivable pain in the derriere, just sprang to mind when reading the thread.

Ok numbnuts il be clear here...I gave my input saying the win7 benchmark tool is flawed so DON'T use it due to it causing a lot of BS from people that already have issues...you gave no input other than to come in here "puking" as you say all over my post...where was you input at that point?

If you bother to look I've added input you on the otherhand are in here bashing me...

Please stop wasting your time

I have to agree, win7 experience gives me a 7.6 on a 2 year old machine (apart from my GPU) so it can't be that accurate.

will follow with my 3DMark11 score when it finishes downloading

Acutally I seem to remember you telling me to 'be quiet' as if I were some 8 year old with his hand in the cookie jar when all I asked was that people contribute to the benchmark idea, even if they disagree as to whether it's 'worth it' or not - because frankly neither of us know which benchmark would be more use to the developers. Since you felt it necessary to talk to me like a child, I have no problem returning the favour.

Since a forum moderator has asked for this I thought it was worth adding my results instead of complaining about his choice of benchmark - which is all you and everyone else in this thread has done. I don't consider that a 'contribution'. I'm done arguing this point with you, so just let it go and let the thread go back to being useful for those people who actually want to help instead of complain.


Looking at your specs, you're running a pretty hefty rig, regardless of whether it's two years old or not. Seems pretty accurate to me.

if you want a real comparison then we will ALL have tobe running CLOD on FRESH installs of win7 with NOTHING else but the game installed and using the same tool.

S!

you have a much better rig than i do and i get
6.9 cpu
7.4 mem
7.5 vid

Im happy with the score and performance but i wonder how it is rating my system.

S!

Systems Windows 7 Experience Index rate of 6.7 base with SSD-- 5.9 base with HDD


With this score I'm able to fly CLod very well. I was able to fly CLod at base 5.9 HDD. Not as good as 6.7 base SDD but still very playable.

I use MS Windows 7 64 bit as a OS on my PC. CLod is MS Windows based.

We all are using MS Windows XP, Vista 64 bit or Windows 7 64 bit to play this sim.

Does MS know what there doing? I would think so!

If by posting my results of Windows 7 Experience Index helps the CLoD team make This sim more playable on more PC's.Then thats a good thing.

Windows Experience Index is already on Vista and 7 and being used by PC games and Hardware developers to help people know wither or not thy can use there product on there PC. If there hardware or software is MS windows base.

There was a poster on another flight sim forum ask what FPS he would get with his system in CLoD. I told him if he had Windows 7 Experience Index to run that. then post his Base score and I could tell him what to expect form CLoD on this system. That EZ.

It doesn't, so it won't, so it isn't. ;)

They know what they are doing. So do we. Producing simplistic 'benchmarks' that tell the user little, but help MS make a profit. If they can persuade people that they need better hardware, they can be 90% sure that this will result in another sale of their OS - most people don't upgrade isolated components, but by a new PC - with Windows installed.
