That's one way to run a comp I guess

Suggestion - if on a timed benchmark someone submits a 0.000sec(i.e. forget to put the time in), it comes back an error for them? That would stop the 0.000sec submissions requiring moderation?

[The official GIGABYTE H55 miniITX contest thread.]

the only prize is lucky draw?

 

Since most of you are in this sport for the love of overclocking, and not for the love of prizes, we’ve decided not to announce any. That’s not to say there won’t be any at the end of the competition for the winners, but for the true overclocking purists out there, it gives you the chance to show the community you are doing this for fun (and maybe just a little for the bragging rights). We are also looking to see who is the fan favorite, so make sure to vote using HWBOT’s voting system (there might just be a lucky draw prize in it for those of you who vote).

[Achievements - What do you want?]

I like them, but I used to be an Xbox360 achievement whore.

 

As Thor says, adding in the old ones for HW Junkie, HW Guru would be nice (or use them as a 'title' like Team captain on the profile pages)

 

Could have:

'Submitted results X different sockets'

'Entered X HWbot competitions'

'Broadcast a livestream'

'MaxxMem score under 10 points' (same as the AQ low score runs or SPi 32m slow run)

 

One thing you could do is have a check box on submissions for Mobo/GPU voltmods, then achievement:

 

'Submitted X results with voltmods and pictures'

[MSI Big Bang Xpower discussion thread: Overclocking results and discussion]

Nice memory

[A suggestion]

I've been developing a bench which is solely this; however it's currently only written for nVidia GPUs in CUDA. I need to port it to OpenCL for ATi cards. Unfortunately OpenCL looks like an arse to program...

 

https://www.benchtec.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=4947

 

So far we've seen:

 

Quadro FX580 (in dual E5520) score 164.8

8800GT (in E5520) score 550.5

9800GX2 in Q9650 (@3.6Ghz) score 1173.2 (585.76 for first GPU, 587.48 for second)

9600 (in E6400) score 423.8

260M in i7 920 score 516.8

 

But with any GPU bench, it'll be somewhat effected by the bus speed in any memory copy (RAM to GPU) situation. Mine gets around that by only ever doing it twice and it taking microseconds.

You have to use the autocomplete 'DDR2' rather than just typing it in. At least that's what I have to do.

[Why GPU benchmarks are lame]

Here's the files if anyone wants to test. It's worked so far on a variety of setups, including 9800GX2, and 260M, on XP and win7. One person had an issue with GTX295 and win7 64-bit that I need to try some things to get it to work. I'd duly make a new thread here for it when I've an ATi version working, otherwise discussion is here and http://www.benchtec.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=4947

 

CUDA enabled card required, plus 185.25+ drivers (I think they're the lowest possible)

[k|ngp|n - Radeon HD 5870 @ 1440/1301MHz - 116484 marks 3Dmark 2003]

Technically yes, there's no 'OR' in the rules section. Though there are plenty of submissions that don't have both. I don't doubt Vince's ability, just seems odd that it's hidden is all.

[k|ngp|n - Radeon HD 5870 @ 1440/1301MHz - 116484 marks 3Dmark 2003]

I know it's been verified by Futuremark, but why hide the Bench settings in 03 in your screenshot when they're required to be shown under HWBot rules?

[Why GPU benchmarks are lame]

Doesn't look too bad. Is it possible to show more "data"? Like steps etc. That makes it more difficult to use photoshop.

 

Yeah, changed it a bit in the past 10 mins - picture updated. Now does multiple nVidia GPUs, but one at a time. Though the checksum implementation would be best to stop photoshop (which is relatively easy with console programs like this and PiFast) - I've looked online at solutions, but just ended up scratching my head further...

 

I've no experience of OpenCL though, which may be the main hurdle.

[Why GPU benchmarks are lame]

I'm currently working on a GPU calculation bench which is CPU independant, but it's currently in single GPU mode for nVidia CUDA cards only.

 

It runs a 3D Finite Difference problem on the GPU for 30 secs, and during that time monitors the best peak speed the card achieves.

 

Still to go are:

Checksum at the end

MultiGPU setups

OpenCL

 

So for example my Quadro FX 580 does:
