Thanks. Just messing around a bit while I drank some coffee and waited for the ice company to open.
What Whiskey said is right though, and has me a little confused as well. HWBOT rules say no GPU PhysX, but I don't see an option anywhere to disable it. GPUZ reports it being used. Can someone clarify?

I don't have an nvidia card in my rig ATM. so here goes my best try
-Open Nvidia CP, click on set PhysX configuration.
-In the drop down box select CPU.
-Once done, open GPUz and ensure the PhysX box isn't checked.

HWBot rules are copy/pasted.

3x: http://img.hwbot.org/u20770/image_id_923662.png
The record results with Nvidia the vast majority have PhysX enabled. A few turned it off. There's no score difference.

These monthly comps seem to be turning into a hardware competition lately
Agree with Keny, I'm not sure where is that fun when you can't even compete with others and monthly stage just ends for most participants in the 1st competition day ... but what can I know ...

I expect to have fun, and I expect to learn some things; though I do not expect to win.

Unfortunately with comps like this there is no way to please everyone.
I have done my best to ensure that the point system works and isn't too broken.
Also trying to make it fair for different HW. FX couldn't compete in our single threaded 2d benches so I put in cinebench.
This month favors newer cards and multi cards but next month the bench doesn't scale with gpu's and isn't great on new cards. Hint hint
The ongoing nature of this comp helps to keep things from getting to out of hand. After this month there is still 3 more 3D benches before this wraps up. So there is still plenty of time left.

Just a reminder, I think you said 4 2d and 4 3d. But we only did 32M, Pifast and Cinebench.

I counted the comp super put on previously.

Certainly it gives someone in the new card market a scale to compare with.

I failed to follow instructions ; my new, improved submission, now without Physics; but wait, there's more:

I wanted to run this earlier, then I saw the download was ~1Gb. That's a bit ridiculous if you ask me.
Ps. I don't know which competition you're talking about. What bench did Super make a comp around?

I'm not flaming the comp in general as any comp is a good comp, but it gets a bit silly when someone with a Titan running stock can crucify someone running LN2 on a different card, theres no incentive for anyone to put any effort into trying to max there hardware when they know its not going to be competitive no matter what, btw I love these team comps and there one thing I look forward to come the end of the month, but as of late it just seems to be "if you have the hardware" you have Won.
Big love to Ben for organising these, I know it takes a LOT of time to keep thse things going

Absolutely! His dedication to these comps is to be commended. Thanks Ben!
Alright, ran it without PhysX:
Single|Whiskey11|EVGA 660Ti Superclocked|Stock (Reference)|5095
I also ran it with the driver's enabled... I did my usual "shut down all non-necessary applications" and it included the NVidia Inspector too so the last run was without the NVidia Inspector on! Silly me!
Not terribly thrilled with my awesome FPS on the Combined test... but... yeah.
