Wow, great board you got there!
-
You need to smear the red out some more for perfection
Some inspiration for Rauf to take this artform to the next level! 
Nice score btw! And that screenshot sure is a hard benchmark.
-
Will we have a mandatory wallpaper or not ?
Didn't find mention of that in comp' rules.
Expect it to come when the competition begins to avoid people starting the benching early. Thats my guess atleast.
-
Older generation ES allowed or no ES at all?
From the competition site.
Limitations
a videocard manufactured by Nvidia
Use 1 videocard core(s) in total.
A verification screenshot is required.
Please attach a picture of your overclocking rig.
Retail hardware only, engineering samples not allowed. Hardware must be launched before the start of the competition.

Vantage does not matter. Stage is all about 3DMark 06.
Best submission per person for a country should win as always. If you have other scores (lower HW points) with different VGA in the stage, then they should not be taken into account.
Change the question to two GPUs then, simply put would it go back to another submission if the old top score drops so its not top anymore?
rewriten example below.
Another one about Hardware points and stage1.How will the points be calculated? I assume its the HW points when the stage end but lets take an example to show what I wonder.
I submit 2 results with lets say a 560ti and a 570
First out is a win with the 560ti for 35 HW points, after that do I manage to get a win with the 570 aswell for 44 HW points, this updates our 500series score to 44HW points from the 570s but the Sandbag masters upload 3 beter 570 scores the last day and my 570 submission is now only worth 24 points while my 560ti is still worth 35 HW points.
Would I get 24 points or 35 points in the final ranking in a case like this?
-
I believe that is how it works, yes. But I don't think they are averaging your scores for that stage at all. Whatever your HW points are, they are totaled and thats your score, no averaging. The top total will receive the 50 competition points.
Exactly we agree then
Just said an average of 20 HW points as it was easier to write then 30+25+17+22+6 which is the same as 5x20 = 100 points
-
I don't think it works that way. This is just how I'm reading it but I read it this way. Its not the best Nvidia cards for each stage, but the most hardware points. So it doesn't matter if you use the very best cards, only the popularity of the card matters. I'm assuming if you use a FX5200 and take top spot you'll get 7.8 hardware points. That 7.8 gets added to all the other scores your country supplies. The highest total will receive the 50 points for 1st place.
But perhaps I'm reading it wrong as well.
Thats just what I tried to say, problem is to many things called points. Rewriting it slightly even tho I think we meen the same thing.
And its based on the total HW score from a maxium of 10 submisions, so a team with only one score of 50 HW points will get 50 total HW points, a team with 5 submissions for an average of 20 HW points will get 100 HW points in total and a team with 10 submissions with 16 HW points in average will get 160 HW points in total.So the team with 160HW points gets 50 competition points and wins stage1. The team with 100HW points gets maybe 35 competition points
and the team with 50HW points gets maybe 25 competition points for this stage
-
Everyone will be using the same cards so I would think performance would matter, the first part will be getting all 10 subs, when each person is only allowed one per stage.
How does the scoring work exactly? Is the average score over all your subs, so a country that only subs one score (say 900 series) won't be bogged down by the other scores and will win by not submitting anything else. Or will a country that submits 10 scores be ranked higher than a country that submits 9 scores no matter what the average is? Or is your total score divided by 10?
I cant find anything that says only one score per person?
And its based on the total HW score from a maxium of 10 submisions, so a team with one score of 50 HW points will get 50 points, a team with 5 submissions for an average of 20 points will get 100points in total and a team with 10 submissions with 16 points in average with get 160 points in total.
This meens that you dont have to score in all rounds but it ofc helps. And it also meens that a good score giving 50 points with for example a gtx580 is more worth then winning a pokal with a geforce4 for 10HW points
-
So if it's by numbered families then the 10 most recent are: 900 (and Titan X), 800M, 700 (and Titan), 600, 500, 400, 300M, 200, 9000 and 8000, right? I'm assuming the mobile GPUs are allowed since it doesn't say otherwise. But high-end 7000 would likely trump 300M anyway, wouldn't it?
Stage 1 - 3DMark06 Nvidia HWpts: use 10 different single GPU Nvidia graphics cards, each from a different family. The ranking is based on the sum of the hardware points of the ten results. There are 50 points for the winning country
So performance does not mater, you just need a hige ranked score with a popular card.
-
Just a fast question

The bolded part referes to different core or different naming family?
For example would a gtx 680 and a gtx770 be seen as different family when its the same card?
-
Maybe it is just wrongly named. Try to rename the "DOS" bios to AM2N3VT3.30.
PS: Hmm, no..it's not.
Phenom II are supported in 3.20 too, so why not flash this one and then upgrade to 3.30 after you get the board working.
Interesting, I checked like 4 versions but not the 3.20 and that one actually got the bios file unpacked. Testing if it worked now or Im out of luck for real.
EDIT: Nope, motherboard is still dead, fan starts to spin for a very short time then it just turns itself off again, guess Ill have to bench some PCI-e cards instead before a new good agp cards shows up then..
-
Tried open the exe with 7zip?
You need the special nforce driver on asrock page to get agp cards to work. IIRC Vista and Win7 are out due a driver limitation.
Already tried 7zip and doesnt work, only thing I found when searching for alternatives was a guy that had exctracted the bios from a working chip but that download link was dead now.
And yea, Ive already benchend some 10 cards with this mobo before it decided to die on me so this isnt software related. Behavior hints of corrupt bios tho so hope to get it back to life.
-
Just throwing out a bait to see if anyone of you AGP Overclockers got a "naked" bios file for the AM2NF3 motherboard laying around.
I think a corrupt bios is Behind That my card totaly refuse to boot and I've had no success with hot flashing it due to ASRock bad habit of hiding the bios file in the flasher software.
So anyone got the file saved away or the option to take a backup of thier Bios with something like "Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit" and help me out? Bios version 3.30 is very much preffered as it Allows the use of Phenom2s

Not much happens with a score of 2 marks I promise you that
2p should take between ~31-62 days (at 62days it turns over to 1point instead!), ~5300 frames gives a average of 7 fph (frames per hour) so its absolutley amazingly fast and rewarding to watch compared to GPUPi where I had ~3 days between the progress updates on the round my GF killed after ~700h
-
I bet that was fun to watch, nice score dude
atleast something happens in Aquamark, way more fun then GPUpi for 700h+
-
Noob question as i'm just away to get into modding so please don't flame, but, where do i find data sheets? Looking for GTX 570 SOC as i can't dig up any volt mods for it online....
First identify the ICs on the card, and then just google the data sheet for it.
-
wow, amazing score!
Any idea how those SDRams react to some cold?
-
I'm interesting in, preliminary, what part of year or month Old school Season-2 competition to plan starts?
All stages are decided upon so there should be an announcment when Massman and the moderator team are ready with the rest of the work for setting up the competition.
Expect season 2 to start early next year tho
-
When you get in, you never get out!
At least a year I would say since some competition series have a duration of a year.
At the end of the month we will open the poll.
Think he ment more how much time you would be expected to spend for example during a month as a CCTF then how long you had to stay active as one?
-
The 32M on x64 run is completed, was lucky to get run 22 to finish at like 23h 58min 56seconds or something so picked up the phone to catch it on film. Was really suprised how it didnt crash instantly this time but almost at 24h 1min into the benchmark.
So x64 OS not working either confirmed.
We just need 1M run on 1.5 or never to reach 24h now so good luck with your current run.
-
wow, looks like the effect from changing priorities is way bigger when runing without cache active, impressive!
1h 25mins left for the crash on 32m on 64bit OS now.

3,5h for 1M? Nah, that is too fast
What do you used to slow SuperPi down? For me is best killer the L1 cache. Maybe I should give CPU-Z stress a chance too, if the cache is not good enought Worked great for me on the GPUPI challenge Please do.
Im using a software fake load that lets me set the load betwean 1-99%, It works suprisingly well couse if I set it at 96% SuperPi for example runs very close to the calculated speed it should at 4% CPU speed.
Combine this program with fsb reduced by 50% and another load like GpuPi on high prio in the background and its get very slow.
Your tips about killing the L1 cache would probably make that superpi 1M totaly possible tho!
Im ~21.5 hours into a test on Win XP x64 now aswell, but really cant see it matering?
-
Obviouse hardware sharing is obviouse!
Joke aside, its really fun to see how far Rauf has come, was fun vissiting him for a LN2 season earlier this year
-
Ok, I tried to slow my socket 754 rig down but I cant get it slower then ~3.5h for 1M, so only a slowdown of 250x
Ill try the part with 32M on a x64 OS instead, just need to decide on what bench ssd/hdd to sacrafice for a future reinstall..
add HD 4350

Should be 500MHz DDR2 tho, you got a OEM card maybe with worse then standard memorys?
