Tried out those standalone versions, seems it runs just fine on win 7.
Jup, 50 points less than their reference, but I had Afterburner and some other little things running.
Close, but wrong thread
meh…
It was the one I clicked on first…
also, dont see the point in lumping both in together as they are not comparable.
Because the thread was already made, adding a second sheet and the new download link was easy, and having people submit all their scores to a single thread instead of have to hop around makes more sense.
TechPowerUp link is still not taken down. I guess they’re now the go to for downloading R20. They are still taking sponsored spots from illegal key resellers, so they would ignore Maxon’s legal threats.
Are you sure about that? They were boasting how the store is Microsoft approved and stuff…
No, talking about TechPowerUp themselves taking ads from SCDKeys, (Not just a banner, a full “story” for) an illegal key reseller.
TPU posts this “sponsored” article at least once a month…
Is the store really illegal, cause once I read the article and it said the store is Microsoft approved…
Nope. That’s the fluff coverup. The keys are purchased with fraudulent credit cards in Eastern European countries and resold.
PCPartPicker has a strict zero tolerance policy on talking about these sites, cause according to them, all of them violate the Microsoft ToS.
They can’t shut them all down cause the sites reinvent themselves under new names like the Pirate Bay changes domains.
I lost all my trust in TechPowerUp then and there. Taking ads from people that just do piracy with extra steps?

You know, to be completely fair, if Microsoft sold me W10 for 15euros I won’t even think about it… I will just buy it…
I lost my trust in TPU when they started changing their benchmarking scores after posting the articles…
Money are money… They need money to stay online… I get it…
And that is the unfortunate fact, EVERYONE thinks this is fine. The fraudulent/stolen credit cards used to buy the keys in the first place don’t even come up in discussion.
Anyways…

“TechPowerUp has since taken down Cinebench R20 portable from its Downloads section. You can find it on Microsoft UWP Store.”
They still have one up, but they call it a “standalone” version. How’s that any different?
There’s an archive of the standalone version in the benchmark thread regardless of what happens to the one on TPU. (Or anywhere else.)
