HWBOT Competitions

E-Sports is not working correctly. Stage 2 not showing and no points even though there are entries. No backround yet for stage 1.

But I can tell you all right now you need better scores.

Have fun and let us know if you experience any issues!

Is it allowed to use new polaris cards if they launch in the competition? I already had some submissions deleted when Fury x came out in the midle of a competition

Would a R9 270X be allowed for the 3D benchmarks? Since it being functionally identical and all.

Can I compete with processor Dual Core. Posso participar com processador de dois cores.

Hello oc'ers. I'm having a question regarding the GPU limitation. It says that you may only use X800 cards. Is that meant in the way that you can only use cards like the X800Pro or X800XT? Or can you just use every card that falls within the Ati X8xx series? So that the X850 series are also allowed to use?

Wondering why @superzan's 300 MHz Reference Clock got superseded with my submission? For reference, before my submission, our team scores were: GASPARSPEED - P5Q-E @ 460MHZ - 460.01 MHZ REFERENCE CLOCK HILDERMAN - Z97 OC FORMULA @ 175.1MHZ - 175.08 MHZ REFERENCE CLOCK And this: http://hwbot.org/submission/3180288 But now, that 300 FSB is gone.

I need a little last minute help. I have assembled a system with a radeon 9000 in it ... 3dmark03 says I can not run any tests because i don't have the needed hardware ? Running xp with directx9, latest catalyst drivers ?

Anyone figured out some interesting tweaks for the benchmark?

Hi guys ! stages ranking are broken, seems like the average is badly calculated

is it mandatory to add hw monitor to xtu screenshot? in xtu you can clearly see the idle temps and load temps. in my screenshot i missed hw monitor but you can see idle temp 32 and load temp 75 deg.

Is there an "Official" NN #8 thread?! Anyway, I am getting errors trying to upload Aquamark datafiles!?! I have tried via the comp page and via standard HwBot sub. All it says is "Invalid Datafile - Unable to parse" I have also tried with a number of different files. I am using the latest version 2.55.110 Any help? Thanks!

Background is now online,thx Pieter. Have fun benching

I noticed HWBOT Prime restricts the use of Windows 8/10 for submissions. Does this mean you're required to use Windows 7 for this competition?
