Thanks!

Thanks for info. But 7 benchmarks, the time table says 6 benchmarks? 4 cores no HT as in online qualifier? 6.5GHz/6.0 cache?

Nice score, but need cpu-z valid link

It's where you set mem clocks, there is mem to imc ratio

Awesome score!

Yep, only es KS have avx512

Your valid link does not work

Dram settings, settings after all the timings. You can disable memory channels. For example with stick in second slot, disable the first 3 channels.

One would think that you of all people should be familiar with the rules... "It is not allowed to remove submissions once it has been submitted, or make crucial changes after submission."

Nice run!

Don't complain and get in the spirit instead. Complaining about bioses in the last competition is what got us these rules...

Just to be absolutely clear, many of the recently posted files were posted after the start of stage 1. These would not be ok to use in stage 1? And is it ok to bench the other stages before they start or will there be new info, other wallpaper etc?

Nice!

Can any of the mods please recalculate ranking, my old, deleted non-ecc score is blocking this.

One question regarding the ecc rule, many benchmarks seem to not require ecc. 3d11 and vantage give globals but don't need ecc, how come? Also many older benchmarks without globals don't need ecc, like heaven, 3d03, 3d05 etc. Shouldn't all 3d benchmarks have the same rules, i would assume bugged runs can happen in those benchmarks also? Only exception would be gpu-pi as it does not involve memory at all and it actually checks that calculations are correct.

Nice work, but I have some runs with cuda 9 also...

Nice run

Same as for the scores with superposition release candidate version there are some unbeatable hw points because they were done when rules did not explicitly say beta or rc versions were not allowed. Fyi, I don't agree with this line of thinking, but removing all old scores is also a bit drastic. And checks can only be done for 3dmark anyway, not superposition so not sure how much we gain by this. For sure there will be huge moderation work still because I guess most users won't read the rules that carefully.

No gold, no rest!

Some people seem to not understand what is going on... Many cards in the 40XX-generation can produce bugged rendering if overclocked too high. This affects all 3D-rendering in all benchmarks, all games etc. It's an issue for benchmarking because users don't play fair and submit bugged results knowingly. It's not limited to 3DMarks, same thing happens in Superposition, CatZilla etc. But UL are the ones trying to come up with a solution. This issue is not exclusive for nvidia either, we saw many wrong scores with AMD 6900-cards also. But it was not as wide spread as this issue. There are three options: 1. continue like we always have but have a ton of moderation work on hwbot and UL etc to manually check for bugged scores. Some will definitely slip through anyway. 2. give up benching this generation and hope next one in 2 years don't bug as easily. 3. Try to fix the problem because thanks to ECC option we have a way that might work and even the playing field...

Well, already talked to Pasi about it a bunch because 3dmark hall of fame is full of bugged runs. But it's a nightmare to moderate. Especially on cold as there is some weird cold efficiency bug that hurt efficiency when you run colder also. Especially superposition seems sensitive to cold efficiency... But anyone benching on Hwbot should be able to tell if their score is bugged or not. As you say, you don't get a huge bump in score from doing nothing or just slightly higher clocks. But how do you reach everyone and get everyone to follow the rules?

Very good!

Resubmitting doesn't help. If screen is full of artifacts and score is unusually high it's not a legit score. Your gt1 is unnaturally high...
