Its rebranded Gskill guys. Nothing ground breaking.
-
Lol...
Top 10 seems to be the sweetspot then.
-
So that's why the server went down again. Couldn't handle this score.
-
-
Is it allowed to alter batch size and reduction, seems many are running the benchmark at non default setting lol
Yes it is.
And it is a standard "tweak".
-
I believe this flaw can be easily fixed by just disabling mixing GPUs altogether.
Obviously only the creator of the Benchmark can tell us how easy it is to do that.
-
Actually I can see, how the first case wouldn't work.
A simple algo would pick the newer card as the faster one & rank the results accordingly.
But what if someone ran a 7970 & a 260.
The 260 is newer, so the algo would rank the results as 2 x 260, but the 7970 is actually faster.
Hmnn.
-
I thought you had an Algorithm for that.?
Didn't know that wasn't the case.
Or we can leave it for the user & hope that the cheated results get reported, shaky but these are the only 2 options I can see.
-
BTW what's the policy on using different GPUs in parallel? because I have 260X and HD 5850 available for use.
You can combine any two cards, the result will be ranked in the stronger card category.
For example if you run
290X & 7970, the result will be counted as 2 290Xs.

Its allowed.
But if its not a stable overclock for this bench, then the run will fail.
Its same as the "Not in Round error" people get on Super Pi when pushing memory.
Lower the frequency a little bit & it will pass. Sometimes you get lucky & are able to get the bench pass at a frequency that was previously unstable.
-
Anything i can check for when running gpu 1b test?
Sometimes it is valid, other times it finishes but reports invalid. Same settings on my end.
Is it over clocked.?
-
I don't see how.
-
Probably..
The competition this time seems to be less CPU dependent & can be done on Z97 unless the quad channel on Haswell-E gives more Memory Read Bandwidth compared to Tight PSC on Z97. Unlikely, but can't be sure till it's tested.
-
That's not fair
Lol.
That's actually perfectly fair.
Or else all you would see is people with 5960Xs on top.
-
Vietnam 4790Ks have been really good on Ambient & for sub zero there have been a few good chips.
Not all of them suck.
-
Limitations now available. Titan not allowed.
The Physics question still stands.
Is it going to be divided by the number of Cores.?
-
Gee. I finally get it to complete a valid run after six attempts and then I am greeted with this...
If the overclock isn't stable, the run will fail.
And this bench has a different definition of "Stability".
-
I somehow seemed to have entered the wrong time on the Submission(oops).
Seems I cannot edit, can a mod please fix it.
-
That's cool, but I'm confused how this is submitted as 4x980 but is 3x980 + 780ti?
This bench allows you to mix cards from the Same Vendor e.g All Nvidia cards.
For the ranking, you will be ranked according to the fastest card you used. Otherwise the ranking system would be impossible.
-
Alright. Thanks mat.

We have discussed this recently and came to the conclusion that 32B makes no sense today. It's just not fun to run this benchmark on single cards for more than 15 minutes to get a result. Yeah, multiple GPUs have a lot of performance headroom and will push the times faster towards zero than what's possible with other benchmarks. If that happens 32B might become more popular for multiple graphics cards and we will react on it properly, may add or even shift points to 32B. But that will take a good while in computer years.
Even for Single GPUs if we look at the Generational increase we might reach to zero fast maybe even with the upcoming 390X
Just look at the difference between 7970 & 290X at similar clockspeeds

http://hwbot.org/submission/2760482_d0minat0r_gpupi___1b_radeon_r9_290x_17sec_929ms
A 390X on Ln2 might just get to zero.
And for multi GPU, you already saw this
http://hwbot.org/submission/2820501_pulse88_gpupi___1b_3x_radeon_r9_290x_5sec_907ms
4 x 290Xs on LN2 & its over. In the begining of the thread, people were quite ready for a longer GPU bench, don't know what changed.
-
Yeah.. Points.
Although shouldn't the points have been enabled on the 32B version of the Bench since with the 1B version we will be under 1s with the next gen GPUs or maybe the Gen after. Wouldn't that make this bench short lived, ~ 2 years or so.
Just a suggestion.
-
Score is bad because the RAM isn't good enough. Either go to 2800C9 or get some PSC.
And yes Cache will help too.

Can someone from the staff please tell me if it was absolutely necessary to have the CPU-Z memeory tab open during the ScreenShots used for submissions. I just noticed that I didn't do that for some of my subs in the 2Core/4Core rounds.
Its XTU so I don't think it matters much, but would prefer to have a proper answer so I can understand how it will affect the work I put in last month & if I should continue.

Mat could you take a look at these scores.

While the GPUs are not actively running the Benchmark, them being in the system is clearly helping. Can it be considered legit.?
