GET STUFFED. You removed the old achievements just because “they are excessively difficult to earn or near impossible to unlock with modern hardware” ?? What stupid logic! Who said everything should be easy? I’ve spent thousands of dollars assembling my computer and nearly a hundred hours unlocking the achievements! You never consider the feelings of those of us who have paid so much for them, do you?

BTW, according to one developer, you wanted to make new users feel “fair”. I wonder if there is such a thing as 100% fair on earth? Is your decision fair to previous users? The new achievement called “Lightspeed” requires users to have at least the performance of an RTX 3070. Is that fair to users who don’t have a high-performance RTX GPU?? Moreover, what about “Integration Nation”? Is that fair to people using AMD Ryzen processors or HEDTs?

The standard for bench marking. Period. If you want real results of what your rig can handle then spend the money to get a clear and definitive explanation of what your system can do.

The only thing that I feel is lacking is perhaps feedback on how to improve your score. As you can see I have almost an entire workweek of hours put into this because I would tweak a setting, run the bench, compare it to my previous bench, then adjust it again.

Something along the lines of “hey your GPU runs really good at 900Mhz, going any father will decrease your score” would be very helpful instead of comparing and trying to figure out why the first run was 5738 and the second one was 5724. It can become quite maddening. Then when you feel you’ve OC stable, onto the next test!~ Damn you firestrike I did so well with Timespy why you hate me so?
