    Team CP sharing 7950GT in April Challenge

    in HWBOT OC-Crime Center

    Posted

    Opty, aka "ANM", to the best of my knowledge no one on our team has used the same piece of hardware on the same benchmark as any other team member. There is more than one nvidia video card in the world and more than one ATI card, too for that matter.

     

    This problem you are having is beneath you. AFAIK, even if what you say were true, it is no violation of the rules for this competition.

     

    This is a "Team Competition", not an individual competition. Only the best score is counted for each team. Please let the imagined non-fraction go. We'll all (and that includes you, my friend) be happier as a result.

    Why do some images not expand?

    Why do some submission images not enlarge or expand? That makes them difficult or impossible to read on some monitors.

     

    Like this one from my team for example:

    No complaint about the submission, just using that one to illustrate an image that wouldn't expand or enlarge.

    Don't forget NF4 chipped 754 boards have PCI-E slots for cards.

    That's the reason for suggesting two different classes for the PCMark 05 and 3DMark 01 benches.

     

    The "any video card permitted" class would allow the submission of scores earned with PCI-e cards...

     

    While the "limited to AGP and plain PCI video cards" class would not include PCI-e cards.

     

    That way everyone would have a chance to compete on a more level playing field - unless I've missed something there...?

    Massman, that would be great. A four part S754 challlenge.

     

    Two video card challenges and two long processor benchmark challenges.

     

    1) PCMark 05

     

    2) 3DMark 01

     

    3) Super Pi 32m

     

    4) WPrime 1024m

     

    The two long processor benchmarks will be a worthy challenge for all of us. They involve more fine tuning and benchmark skills that the short ones, IMO.

     

    Let's do it for May 2011. April is already has a good Challenge.

     

    ==================================================

     

    Edit: Following up on Bones, idea, How about a six part challenge?

     

    1) PCMark 05 - open class for any video card

     

    2) PCMark 05 - limited to AGP and plain PCI video cards only

     

    3) 3DMark 01 - open class for any video card

     

    4) 3DMark 01 - limited to AGP and plain PCI video cards only

     

    5) Super Pi 32m

     

    6) WPrime 1024m

    Super Pi run with old version - no seconds

    in Submission & member moderation

    Posted

    Here's a Super Pi run with an old version of Super Pi without seconds.

     

    Looks like the 29.000 sec score in the data base needs to be manually edited to show 29.999 sec instead.

     

    Would you please take care of that?

     

    Here are the links:

    Page loads, but does not display????

    in HWBOT Development: bugs, features and suggestions

    Posted

    When looking up Processor specifications, several pages will load, and the browser says "Done", but nothing much is displayed. Just the page margins and a blank page in the middle.

     

    This happens with IE and with Firefox so I don't think it is a browser problem.

     

    Obviously, the problem doesn't occur on the HWBot home page nor on the Forum pages.

     

    One of the pages that won't display is:

     

    http://www.hwbot.org/hardware/processor/mobile_sempron_64_3100_georgetown

     

    Here's another:

    What's wrong?

    P4 1.7 in P4 1.5 category

    in Submission & member moderation

    Posted

    This one looks like a P4 1.7 erroneously entered as a P4 1.5 category.

     

    Note that CPUZ and WPrime both show that the processor is a 1.7, not a 1.5.

     

    Shouldn't it be moved to the correct category? It was reported the normal way, but no action was taken by the moderator - just shows "checked by a moderator".

     

    Please look at the images:

    Windsor 6000+ X2 Not a valid Pi Fast time

    Unfortunately, usually we find a thing as a cheat and not a loophole the hard way.

     

    I don't believe that is a cheat, Antinomy. It's a simple error that needs to be corrected.

     

    The poster probably wasn't even aware that the run had errors in it. It's easy to overlook that when a run finishes with a good time and you're excited about that.

     

    Still, under the previous rulings, the score is not valid so it needs to be removed.

     

    Perhaps the best thing to cure all the old ills in the data base would be to dump the whole thing and have us all start over by submitting new runs for everything and making sure that all the runs comply to the rules and that they all include valid proof images with the submissions. IMO, there are way too many entries in the data base with no proof at all.
