Hi, Just made a score on PCMvantage 38998 http://www.3dmark.com/pcmv/590786 I cant upload it on 2 different computers HWbot claims Ineed a valid url.Well the URL is....valid and i also attached screenshot. When can it be fixed? Regards MatsGlobetrotter

I think the concept for the rookie rumble need to change. I ran the first one with my 4770k only to the last day found out that other "rookies" had different cpus for different benchmarks so what was the point. Sitting 3000 km away from the closest computershop does ofcourse not help. If we are introducing rookies then it is first about learning the ideas behind oc-ing on the hardware one have. Making the best of what one have which is the original idea of why most people started ocing - buy cheaper hardware making it perform to its best without having to invest a lot of money. To that effect i believe it should also be done with air/water cooling but not with external waterbuckets and so forth. Its simply too easy to end up with hardware disasters for that for something that supposedly is aimed at rookies. Such more advanced stuff could come on some novice competitions rebuilding the hardware and various cpus and so forth. If you look on the score sheet summary it is quite visible that there is a huge difference in scoring between guys with a single hardware setup and all others. That means most will give up after a few days. Then maybe have some novice competitions geared at for example users having one 2 core and one 4 core cpu of choice. I like both hwbot prime xtu and superpi as they really help make the understanding of the different aspects of tweaks that are needed. Maybe some hints in the rules about finding the right java version and soforth is needed though as a lone rookie will have to search wideöy before finding the right material for that. Ofcourse some guys advance much faster and have the money to spend and thus also is interested in changing various benchmarks in the rookie rumble but I think that is limited compared to the very many that end up in the lower scoring ranks in that particular contest. Just having a quick analysis of the Total scores effectively 220 participants have just up to 20 points compared to 20 having a score above 20 points. If we then look at the ones below 20 points most of them are on single hardware configuration. If we then remove the ones who had only 1 point that potentially did not really have any competition interest it still mean 67 participants with more or less single hardware configuration gave up after the initial attempts seeing it was not possible to get anywhere with smaller tweaks against massive multi hardware scores. That means out of the potential recruitment base a major majority is lost in the first competition, if that was the intention with the introductory competition. Regards, Mats

my last score was posted while I was a rookie since then I have no added one single to make sure it had some fairness

hmm seems even enthusiasts can enter with ohhhhh 50 times the experience from rookies so wht is the use......

He is also using win8 instead of win7. For some reason i also get higher scores on win8 on xtu consistently.

Thanks Karta, Its the one with downloadfile called 6u45 Its like 400 points better than i can get with a new java

Hi, For some reason the last 2-3 days or so I cant see the 2xSLI pages. I have tried in 1 laptop, 1 desktop and one Ipad 3. For some reason it reverts back to the 1 GPU page no matter what

Thanks jjjc, i had missunderstood that part. I thought the system just took the 15 best among all. Was wondering why everyone a ove and below my score had GL points and me 0 when i was looking at the particular hardware table. The overall summary of global points i knew was the top 15. Thansks for clarification, still learning here Rgds

Seems its comparing my 4770k scores with 4790k scores and give global points only on one of those...

Thanks guys. Am ragging up all i can hehe. Just knowing what the bottleneck is helps. I have not even gone into LOD and such. Still chasing the big ticket changes.

http://hwbot.org/submission/2593301_matsglobetrotter_cinebench_r15_core_i7_4790k_960_cb Please have a look. As per my calculation I should get around 10 Global points on this one but it says it is not my best score... but I have no better scroes on the 4790k on Cinebench what I can see.

Ah ok that explains it. Yes the cards are working in SLI as per test in other Benchermarks. Thanks

I am using Win7 64 bit

Hi, what is the correct way to set up the Nvidia drivers to run SLI with Aquamark3. I get much better scores running one 780Ti alone than with 2 in SLI. I have tried the standard global settings as well as force setting SLI but nothing seems to improve the score. Regards,

Wow Superfast :-) I will update my records immediately. Thanks for the help Turrican !! I am enjoying this very! addictive OC site :-)

Thanks Turrican :-) I have attached the GPUZ pic

Hi, I simply can not figure out which hardware to list this as. It is in my laptop a HP Elitebook 8570P. Its listed as AMD Radeon HD 7570M in GPUz as well as on futuremark. It has 1GB dedicated DDR5 Memory and is listed as sitting in the PCIE and the GPU is listed as Thames should I use ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 PCI or AMD Radeon HD 7570 (without the M) or is there a category missing that should be called AMD Radeon HD 7570M. Need some help as I dont want to mess up all the score sheets while taking part in the las month of Rookie league :-) See below the dump from AMD Catalyst Name AMD Radeon HD 7570M PNP Device ID PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_6841&SUBSYS_17A9103C&REV_00\4&144C66A9&0&0008 Adapter Type AMD Radeon Graphics Processor (0x6841), Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. compatible Adapter Description AMD Radeon HD 7570M Adapter RAM 1.00 GB (1,073,741,824 bytes) Installed Drivers aticfx64.dll,aticfx64.dll,aticfx64.dll,aticfx32,aticfx32,aticfx32,atiumd64.dll,atidxx64.dll,atidxx64.dll,atiumdag,atidxx32,atidxx32,atiumdva,atiumd6a.cap,atitmm64.dll Driver Version 13.200.0.0 INF File oem22.inf (ati2mtag_R476 section) Color Planes Not Available Color Table Entries 4294967296 Resolution 1366 x 768 x 60 hertz Bits/Pixel 32 Memory Address 0xC0000000-0xCFFFFFFF Memory Address 0xD4300000-0xD43FFFFF I/O Port 0x00004000-0x00004FFF IRQ Channel IRQ 4294967288 I/O Port 0x000003B0-0x000003BB I/O Port 0x000003C0-0x000003DF Memory Address 0xA0000-0xBFFFF Driver c:\windows\system32\drivers\atikmpag.sys (8.14.1.6348, 604.50 KB (619,008 bytes), 11-Sep-13 21:14)

The discussion on ambient temperature is a bit offset. In the competition as long as air is flowing or water is flowing through the system it should be ok as per rules. Cooling the radiator in an icebucket should also be ok. Anyone who want could do the same without extra hardware. It is afterall possible to have 0 degrees or even less in a room if it is winter. Since I am in a place with 27-28C I will always suffer ;-) but it makes it more challenging.

Hehe thanks, seems my oldlaptops can do interesting scores too:-)

I have enjoyed the 2 rumble competitions even if i did not win :-) Taking those 3 benchmarks are a really good way to learn about OC and your own machine. I wanted my system to be as fast as it could in its Corsair 900D, with the watercooling I have in the case. I could see there was more to give but only with external cooling solutions. between the first roundup and the second one I took part in the main difference for me was that I delidded the CPU but as I only had the GC-extreme TIM i could not get the full effect yet :-) have ordered the Liquid metal and will redo the delidding shortly. Congrats to guys who managed to pass me in the scoring tables.

Hehe true. There is room to grow:-) especially for more water cooling which is coming
