Yea i saw that and im running 2x4870X2's =/ but yes i agree just shows how bad this test realy is, like wow bad lol
I don't think this is new...
MS bases the calculations/sec on a single threaded test. The "maximum" score is only attainable by disabling all other cores and using an exotic cooling system. My 3930k (down now, will post scores when I get the replacement) reads as a 7.8, despite beating a q9400 during encodes by a factor of 12 (2 hours on 3930 take 24 on a 9400).
The HDD is another sad joke. If there was a reasonable scale even the fastest mechanical drives would be topping out in the 4s, while even "cheap" SSDs should be near the top of the ratings. Look on TPU for five minutes and you'll see there's a huge performance gap between fast HDDs and slow SSDs, but only a small gap between slow SSDs and fast SSDs. This test obviously hides its eyes in the dirt to this very conclusion, for the purposes of just getting a number...
Graphics and RAM are simple instances of more is better. At least their rating has some grounding in reality. A tenuous grounding, but at least some.
So this is just another case of using a yard stick (or meter, pick your poison) to measure in tenths of an inch. The wrong tool might get you into the right ballpark, but it certainly doesn't give you accurate results.
