HWBot.org nearing v2 release - World´s Overclocking Record Database

@ 2006/07/25
HWBot.org has quickly become the world leading benchmark record database, covering CPU and Video Cards results, ranging from 3DMark to SuperPI and many others. Competition is fierce with different online forums competing for the top rank, as well as individual overclockers searching for their 15 minutes of fame.

The latest release of HWBot is up to 1.9.5, not far off from the magical v2.0 which will bring a truckload of new features, nonetheless you'll see that with 1.9.5 many improvements have been made by HWBot's main driving force Frederik aka Richbastard.


Let's take a look at some of the new features.

hwbot 1.9.5 updates:
  • uploading a screenshot when submitting results at the HWBot site
  • hardware database and information displaying improved in many ways
  • many bugs removed from the engine, providing better hardware matching, and a faster site.

Some of the upcoming 1.9.6 updates:
  • complete website design overhaul, in order to prepare for V2.0
  • Dynamic Avatar and Signature generator

From the user perspective the most interesting updates are probably the new hwbot picture features.


Uploading pics with submissions

It's now possible to upload pictures with the result submissions. The picture gets an embedded field showing the ranking and other information of the entry. The picture gets updated as the rankings change. Here you can see my result with a Powercolor X1900GT which is ranked #1 in that benchmark on that video card series.
