So a lot of you may have been hearing some chatter about an upcoming NBF benchmark system. Well I’m glad to say it’s done, and it’s pretty sweet. All the credit goes to Shaun for coding this thing into our forums. He did an amazing job. 
What is the NBF benchmark system?
Well the concept is rather simple. We notebook fanatics love benchmarking our systems to brag about how powerful and how many FPS (frames per second) we get while playing the latest games on HIGH settings. Well what good are benchmarks if people don’t know about them? Shaun’s new system allows members to submit their benchmarks into the database where you can compare them to other members benchmarks on the forums. It doesn’t matter what vendor, model, size, shape or color your notebook is. If you can benchmark it, its worthy of submitting.
We even have a top 5 benchmarks sidebar on the right side of the forums. So if you happen to score a benchmark in the top 5, your name and score will be shown for all of NBF to see and envy over. (We may change this to top 3 if the sidebar becomes to big) The benchmark system currently can only be seen and used on the light style forum template. So if you are using the old style, you are going to have to switch to see them.
The process may seem a bit complicated at first because aside from the main overall 3dmark score, you have the option of submitted some more detailed information. You can skip this step if you like and only count the overall score, but we encourage you to put in as much information as possible to be as accurate as possible.
Many of you may think, “What’s stopping me from entering in a false score?” Well for one, we require you to submit a screenshot of your score(s) which will be reviewed by NBF moderators. If it looks like your score was doctored or faked, the score will be rejected and you will be punished. We notebook freaks know what a fake 3dmark06 score looks like. We also have a section for you to input any memory, cpu or bios modifications that you may have made to acquire your score.
The entire system was designed to provide an informative, competitive yet fun system for the member’s of notebookforums. If you have already submitted a review on notebookforums, and would like to add benchmarks for that review, after you submit your benchmarks, please PM me with a link to your review, and I can attach the benchmarks to your review. It actually looks pretty freaking cool. Here is an example of benchmarks attached to a review. Here is another.
If you have any questions, you can PM me, e-mail me (dukefrukem[at]notebookfrorums.com) or post in this thread.
You can read the process on how to upload your benchmarks and other common questions, in our newly updated FAQs page! Any questions that get asked in this thread, I will consider adding to the FAQ page as well. I hope you guys like this.
