Simple WCG PPD Estimator

[[Ion]]

Yepper, works fine on my main rig with vs 2008. I did notice one thing. It errors out if you answer your MHz with XXXX.X but works fine with XXXX. So, no decimals for anyone wanting to squeeze out everything...lol Looks good ION! No green text?...

I set the variable that holds the CPU speed to be an integer, so no decimals for you
I would set the text to green, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet
The last programming class I did was last spring, I haven't done anything since then so I just wrote the program based on what I remembered

No go for me here

Thanks guys for trying to figure this out

Same issue as everyone else, or a different problem?
If it's all the same problem that's a lot easier to (try) to fix than multiple different problems

Well, at last it is fixed!
I re-compiled it with a different compiler, and now it works on systems without Visual Studio!
I'll upload the new version to the OP in a few minutes

Good job! I knew you would!

Hey ION,

I tried this now and it works great bro, thanks a ton for this nifty little app

Thanks, glad I got the problems resolved.
I need to change around the way it estimates, it gives an estimation of ~700 PPD for my laptop, which, even though it isn't on all of the time, is getting ~800, so something is going to have to be done.

It takes time to get it right. Afterall, it's a "estimator"

bump (I'm going to try and update this with more accurate values later tonight)

So a redesign is currently underway, I'm going to include an estimation for the Core i7 as well as C2 and A1/PH1/A2/PH2. I should have the new version out within 24 hours, give-or-take

 

[ERazer]

just wanna say GJ, works great for me

OP updated with V .39b ***Support for Core i7***

 

[AlienIsGOD]

works great, awesome job...any chance to see Athlon II X2/3/4 support?

That'll be coming this weekend, I was hoping to integrate it into the app when I added i7 support, but I didn't have time then and I wanted to get the new version out for i7 people. Until I get out support for Athlon II, just use the corresponding Phenom II, the difference shouldn't be that big

Works. I have VS2008 just so you know.

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

Actually wait I have found a glitch.

So normally let us say I say a word instead of a number.

Ok error that is fine.

HOWEVER: Why don't we mindfuck the program?

Broke it. Now go fix it!

Excellent, glad to know that it works for you. Since version .38b, it hasn't required VS2008, the first version did due to some mistakes on my part, but now it (should) work on all XP, Vista, and 7 systems (I've tested it on XP x32, Vista x32, 7 x32, and 7 x64), and it works.

EDIT @ your other post: I'll look into that in my next release, however, my biggest priority ATM is getting Athlon II support, so it may be longer before I can fix that. And it is a free program, if you are unhappy with it crashing when you try to fuck it up, well, that sounds like your problem (although I will try to fix it )

I am unsure what you have right now, but the obvious solution is to add in a BOATLOAD of if, else if, statements.

Once again, show me the code, I will show you a good fix for it

YGPM with regards to the source code. Thanks for the (future) help

YGPM, but for everyone to know, all that needs to be added is an "else if" statement that checks to see if the user's entry is an integer. If it is not, then the program will output an error.

 

[PVTCaboose1337]

I got permission from [Ion] to go ahead and make this in VB. SECOND version. Need tests. I will have it automatically detect CPU speed and CPU eventually, just a proof of concept. Please check it against the current program that [Ion] has made.

Design suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Version 1

Version 2

Final post, I am ready for some gaming.

Screenshots like that make my life easy.

Also, known problems are if you enter in text into my speed box. I have rectified this, and it will be fixed in the next version.
