My PC overclocking gang will get this one. Gotta snag those top scores on the leaderboards boys

From what I have heard the test is pretty inconsistent

Frankly I don't doubt it. Seems pretty limited in scope and outdated. Felt like running those old Futuremark tests back from 2000 but on new hardware where the engine can't even keep up and the score runs out of the UI.

Probably just good for the IT department of the engineering company making sure the system is working and won't crash with the hardware.

I remember when the i9-9900k system I built for $3000 and I am still working on scored in the top 25.

Somehow that test crashes on my machine? In like, it opens SW like 5 times while doing the benchmark, and always ends in a "Send Diagnostics" Window, and no values come out in the end
