I think all software should be tested on the same hardware. It is only way to give a true indication. I know some programmers write their engines to perform better with certain hardware, but not all people have the same hardware that the programmer uses to perfect his engine. So I say tough luck to those programs if used on different hardware perform worse. AlI programs should be tested on the same hardware, and I do get annoyed when I see a program on a lesser processer with less memory and hash comming right behind one that is using 25% more power. I sit their and think what if that other program had the same hardware maybe it would be sitting in front of the other in rankings and not below. Maybe I am wrong and their are some things I do not know, some of those programs might have limited hash , but the programs that have limited abilities compared to other programs should at least be used on the same hardware then you know how strong the program is. So in final, it should be only a battle of the software and not a battle of the hardware as well. otherwise rankings are worthless in my view.
