Meltrax, instead of measuring actual game (which can greatly differ), I suggest measuring artificial game - such as short demo + with predefined quality settings. This is the most accurate way to measure raw spring performance of user's machine we can hope to achieve..

I was going to suggest that, however I suggest it be a lua mission script as spectating reduces the normal workload.

is it just me.... or... is it not looking at the cycle speed of the processor?

its also singlethreaded so ti wont perform any better if 10 extra cores are added to the cpu.

well... my proc is only singlethreaded ... hyperthreaded kinda counts as dual I guess... but its still single :roll:

since springmark gets the info from Windows WMI, you'd better check your windows system info, it must get false reading, type msinfo32 to check.
but dont worry, your score is still good enough ;)

I know what hyperthreaded is.... meh...

I built a monster overclockin machine...

I guess that means people with a high SpringMark score would have to get banned from games. :twisted:

I do kick low cpu in mid game ... if you have a 5year old cpu play 5year old games or little map don't join Supreme Battlefield game and make everybody lag 2min after the start ... the respect is when you don't make other people lag because of your poor cpu ... so you run springmark and let other player know you have a poor cpu ... if they let you play they won't kick you in mid game ...

Often, however, what SpringMark returns is inaccurate or has little bearing on what a person will do to a game...

if the process priority was the same and HIGH when running the test for every one the accuracy would be better

Of SpringMark or of Spring?

It still wouldn't be in the ballpark.

I could put a riva tnt2 on some extreme core 2 and would run the game at 10 fps (if at all) despite springmark scores in the lower orbit.

Just pointing stuff out.

I could run springmark on a super computer then switch machines and lag while having an uber score.

Satiriks lobby clients have made more then 100,000 requests for player lists with springmark data : :wink:

Which isn't too surprising seeing as it seems to request the data even if the user chooses not to display it:
[21:32:05] Error: Springmark server unavailable.

If you only consider "cheating" in all ways, you're really kiddy. Springmark is not there to exclude slow cpus, it provides information about a comp. I dont care about a 1% accurate cpu mark and the score given is enough to see if you can play 1000units with someone in a game.

The frequency the lobby displays is not enough cause at 1.8Ghz, P4 will suck and C2D will do fine. Springmark gives the cpu model that is really useful.

If I wanna play a big game, I'll kick slow comps springmark or not, autokick or not. Playing an half speed game after 30mn cause of a single slow comp is frustating.
