    Different sockets yes, similar to AM3/AM3+, I will increase the nr of subs in this stage to at least 8 looking at the comments, I wanted to avoid Intel domination and benching on a single motherboard type for at least 3 gens ?

     

     

    Gosh, not this discusion again/ I see it this way: we bench thousands of euro hardware but don't want to buy a xx euro licence ? I bought the entire UL 3DSuite for less than 20 euros last week. Be creative... I know you can

    I know you can get those licenses for 20 on steam or what not. but add to 3D licenses those for gb3, gb4, pcmark, etc. add the dice or ln2 for extreme users.
    the hardware can cost a lot more but some here don t buy new hardware and may not loose money on it after reselling.

    others break hardware torturing it, and I guess that s why they are in the top 100, being pro or semi-pro holding 3x gtx 2080 they didn t pay. some others may not.

    we make use of the software not so much because we want to (although I love spi32m, cbr15 and x265 for instance ;)), but because you require it.
    of course 3D bench softwares require(d) a lot much more efforts to make than y-cruncher, hwbot prime, super pi, wprim etc, which I am sure went through a lot of hard work anyways.

    although the authors of 3D benchs surely have lots of merit and skills, for enthusiasts, which are 99% of the crowd here, buying licenses they may use only a few times does not seem "realistic".

  2. Hi all,

    I am wondering whether this was ever thought or not, and if that could be implemented...

    for competitions such as the current team cup, a valid link is often necessary for 3dmark products, for instance for 3d11 performance, 3d11 extreme, fire strike normal, ultra, extreme, time spy, etc

    I do not hold valid keys for some of those and find prohibitive, not to say something else, to buy all the necessary keys to post one score I may never bench ever again... for instance 3d11 extreme, I never do that one but for the cup, stage 7 ddr3 requires it.

    my question comes here: since hwbot calls for validation links, would it not be an option, and somewhat desired, to have at hand temporary licensed keys offered by 3dmark, for the time of the competition  and getting invalid as soon as it ends, to benchers that participate ?

    Cheers

  4. the appcrash on saving, I had this too :D ibeleive on 3.1.x or 3.2 but not on 3.1

    hence i stuck with 3.1 for the 3.x and with 3.3.2 legacy for the 3.3.x...
    u tried 3.1 i guess?

    I
    still have to try this : put hpet off in the bios and the os and see if gpupi 3. xcan start on am2...

  5. thanks but no imprivement with dco.

    and on a am2 / 790x chipset, gpupi 3.1 or 3.3.2 legacy will simply not start (appcrash)...
    existing scores were made on 2.x only. no gpupi then :D
    and yep. 2.3.4 runs fine. ok so no more gpupi on am2 :D (but on 939 is fine... perhaps I should put hpet off and see if gpupi 3.x starts on am2...)

  6. Hi,

    I jump in regarding gpupi 3.3 and hpet activation in Win7 Pro 64 bits.

    Gpupi 3.3 detects a potential drift for my system and asks to activate HPET. I say Yes and reboot, but the HPET is inactive...
    hence remains a 3.58 Mhz timer written in x265, and RTC 1 ms in gpupi

     

    MB is MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum (also called Neo-F or MS 7125), nforce 4 chipset

    Cpu is Amd Dual Core Opteron 175

     

    On the same setup, I had no issues with single cores Opteron 144 and 155, and no messages of a potential drift.
    What is happening...? :D

    I am using gpupi 3.3.2 legacy.

     

    cheers
