Guess who's back... 
Transferred over plus some of the other lot may come over too. Having a team for the company I work for just doesn't work. I didn't think it would be massive but the guys who wanted this team left months ago to another forums.
Back in benching when haswell launches!

Hey guys, I know I left ages ago but it's good to see that the benching is still going strong here, stronger than when I left anyway!
I'll be checking back here more often now and keeping an eye on how things are going.
Keep up the good work guys!!

Had to clean my mom's rig so I figure I would give it a bench or two.
Results coming soon...
(Phenom II x3 - x4 AMD3650)

Doesn't MSI Afterburner or Riva Tuner work with the card???
Edit, you forgot to turn off Lucid Virtu when running the bench it seems. Make sure it's off before running or the result becomes invalid.
Edit 2 : What driver are you running??? The score seems to be stupid low for the setup you have, should be around 50% higher.

I just used the newest available drivers. I also tried riva tuner but it didn't give me any overclocking options. It's been a long time since I touched ATi cards. lol Also, this is a DDR2 3650 which seems to make it quite a bit slower.

Try using the 9.11 drivers along with MSI Afterburner. There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to take the top spot with your graphics card if you have a half decent OC on your CPU and if you can get the GPU above 800MHz.
Oh and I don't know if you have a Windows XP key or not, but using XP with your graphics card will be your best bet to getting the highest score.
The benching game is as much about getting the most from your software as it is from your hardware

Has anyone had any luck with uploading results from the Catzilla benchmark to HWBot?

And........I'm back on the team. That sabbatical lasted long. Granted I haven't benched in months, but Tom (RawZ) sent me a very patriotic email the other day more or less saying if we didn't return as deserters we had no hope of forgiveness.
So I am back, points and all. Smite me down or freeze me! The choice is yours.
Seems I have snuck in back behind PC Twin again.
