Here you can download Catzilla, the beta version of the benchmark. It’s being produced in collaboration with Polish post production company, Plastige, who worked on that Witcher 2 Enhanced Edition intro video. This benchmark is in beta phases. Catzilla is a cross-API benchmark designed for OpenGL 4.0 and DirectX 9 or 11, and the Windows platform (64-bit and 32-bit Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8).
Speed-test your workstation and watch a giant animated cat nuke cities with its laser eyes as you do. The benchmark uses a parallel graphics engine that takes advantage of multi-core CPUs. This is a 500 MB download.
Application:
-
Titan GPU is now supported!
Webpage:
- added graphs for temperature and clocks of CPU and GPU during benchmark execution
Webpage:
- Free version lets user to submit only last score
- statistics improvements
- the user can now choose between archived results to be seen on Leaderboards (advanced version only)
- the user can now load results that were previously stored on disc (advanced version only)
Application:
- information about 4 HDD drives is now sent to the server (previously only two)
- disk size is now displayed in a way that venders do
- fixed installer for WinXP 64bit
- fixed installer for Windows Vista SP2
- the user can now save results to HDD drive (advanced version only)
- overclocked CPU clock should be properly sent to server
A Teaser Video of the benchmark:

The cooler on the lightning is simply that good :p
Look at the review here at Guru3D: 1.4V 55% fan speed max temp 71°C.
It really is a great cooler. With no extra voltage it never goes above 60°c in any game i have played with the fan on auto.

Yeah I tried that, no luck
On the plus side, it's not a bad score for 1 card.

If it was trying to do anything suspicious it would have been picked up by avast on my system. There are also possibly hundreds of websites hosting this, if there was anything out of the ordinary happening it would have been common knowledge by now. Not to mention the software has been in closed beta testing for who knows how long.
But, who knows. Maybe avoid installing it for a while if concerned and wait and see if anything is discovered.
I'm also running Avast set to high security and it didnt spot anything.
You need a good HIPS (Host Intrusion Protection System) to catch behavior like this, Comodo has a very good one.
Turn learn mode off (set to clean), otherwise it will assume what you install is ok.
You will have to disable all trusted installers now as well though (untick create rules for safe applications), or try it on a fresh system, to see what it tries to do.

The CPU-Test is completely borked:
i5-3570K@4.4 GHz = 634 (with HD7950@1100/1575)
i5-3570K@4.7 Ghz = 1062 (with GTX680@OC)
How does that even remotely make sense???
And it is resolution/graphics dependent, too. Just look at the varying scores between Tiger and Catzilla on the same system.

The 'loading time' would seem to be a cpu test also. I've not tried the tests seperate yet, i prefer 3dmark11 this catzilla has some nasty gpu thrashing towards end of full benchy. (perhaps the mathematics test i'm not sure)

actually not bad could scratch 5800 easily and tried catzilla which worked and got around 3100 points but didn't made any screenies

Does Crossfire work? With the 7970 3-way CF it obviously doesn't, but your score is higher than expected for a single 6950.
What do you get with CF disabled?

Crossfire does not work with catzilla on win8
Crossfire only works with 12.10 whql

Benchmark don't work : loose Aero, flicker screen to black for 1 second and go back to windows. Tried reinstallation for the same result !

Got SLI working, used AFR render and seems to scale fine.
0x00000005 bits work fine, thanks!
GTX580 SLI, FW310.64@default, 3930K@stock but HTT off:
Fluid doesn't scale well with AFR.

Perhaps CF isn't working or optimized, this is a Beta after all. Now that you've mentioned it, seems a tad low for triFire setup....
Edit - Took a look at the main site, the Hardware info isn't detailed enough, it does not indicate whether GPU used is single/dual/triple/quad....
When I checked last night it was possible to separate results based on GPU count.

10,000 is way too low for 3x7970. If CF were working, one would expect 25k-30k instead of 10k.

scaling is really bad and inconsistent over the run... 1000-2000 pnts difference max with cfx enabled ... CFX scale well on the first part of the scene benchmark ( +40-50fps tested at 1200mhz single and cfx) but drop completely then. Also cpu overclock do an high difference in term of score, but not so much in term of fps ( the bench have the same problem of 3Dmark06, cpu parts are taking too much way ) count easely a difference 1000 pnts between 4.5 and 5ghz on a 2600K .
On the actual state, i dont think i can shoot over 12000 pnts
I have try different profile of crossfire ( AFR optimised or any other profile ), the result is lower of the defaut profile.
If the benchmark use PhysX, i will need do an analyze of it this could explain the lower score in some parts of the bench and some inconsistent drop of fps ( 140 to 50 fps by add a ray of light ) ( some parts are using Physx by the cpu, some by the gpu and could well been some threads are deported in a case or the other ( this explain the the cpu scaling )

It does you need to create a profile manually for it in Nvidia Inspector, look a few posts up.

I'm also running Avast set to high security and it didnt spot anything.
You need a good HIPS (Host Intrusion Protection System) to catch behavior like this, Comodo has a very good one.
Turn learn mode off (set to clean), otherwise it will assume what you install is ok.
You will have to disable all trusted installers now as well though (untick create rules for safe applications), or try it on a fresh system, to see what it tries to do.
sorry to say that, but theres no such thing here.
I even uninstalled it and let it install via the Comodo sandbox..nothing bad happened, no extra reg keys, no bad commands or access..And no IRC request..
using comodo since it came out here..after using sygate.
Comodo is setup here as bad as it can get..i get every thing what happens here in an pop up, etc..defense is paranoid mode,, ONLY my LIST is ALLOWED..Firewall is at "own Rules" since i have made my own rule table..took me days to set it all up, but its a freaking big ass Wall now..
so i know what u are talking about, but i can ashure u theres nothing wrong..maybe u have a diff installer from catzilla? or did get it somewhere else?
not shure, just saying what i found out..And i did really check..i took my time, 1 hour or so, to check all that..

Can someone please tell me how someone can run a 680 @ 1.34Ghz through this benchmark on air and not top 61C.
I'm looking at you Mike.
What's the secret? LOL
I know that the lightning bios is very unique but what the hell? constant 1.34ghz through this benchy and only tops 61C?
