PPBM8 Site is gone?

[Dave_Knarr]

I haven't been on the forums in a while so I don't know if anyone has posted anything about this, but the PPBM8.com site seems to be gone.  I keep getting a 403 error, in addition is gives me a 404 error.  This is happening on PPBM8 and PPBM6.

Can anyone tell me if the site is coming back up or is it gone forever?

Thanks

Dave

It turned out that I did not reboot Windows correctly after changing the EFI settings. I could have run the Quick tests with QuickSync disabled. However, Premiere Pro 13.1.3 update was released right after I ran my original tests. Thus, I updated the program and then reinstalled the benchmark. I still couldn't run the full 29.97 media tests: On the H.264 4k 100 Mbps 10-bit portion, the benchmark testing halted, issuing a warning that it took more than 60 seconds to play back a 30-second timeline.

On the Quick Test preset, my system scored only a 448 (this is with a default-Turbo'd i7-4790K and no QuickSync). That is less than half the score of a Ryzen 7 2700X - but then, my system's GPU and media/projects SSD are also lesser-performing. I have a feeling that my current main system does not meet the minimum requirements of a 6th-Generation or later Intel CPU; therefore, it failed to complete the full testing.
