    HWBOT Announces World Championship 2016 Final

    in HWBOT World Tour

    Posted

    Prizes are a big surprise, I would have thought prize money had been budgeted from the start of this series... especially considering that qualifiers had prize money...

    I regret spending time and cash on the wild card qualifier. Dancop really was the winner in that one, he won first prize in the finals without having to go to Berlin. Wild card was nothing but a scam. And we even had to pay for it. When did hwbot know or suspect there would be no sponsoring for the finals?

     

    My thoughts of the finals: an unfair competition where the skill of the competitors vary alot and the prizes for the grand final are not so grand at all. To me it is more of a marketing ploy than a "world championship". The sad thing is that it is not even a marketing ploy since no one is even willing to sponsor it. There are two yearly competitions worthy of calling themselves "world championship", and hwbot world tour is not one of them...

     

    As far as I know hwbot is planning on another world tour next year? If so I would like to see two major changes or you can scrap it:

    - Find a way to make sure level of competition is strong in every qualifier.

    - Finalize the grand final prize before the first qualifier. And finalize qualifier prizes well in time for each qualifier.

    [Price check] Golden 4770K setup

    in Sold

    Posted

    Hi

     

    With this years country cup being of no interest to us Swedish overclockers I have decided to sell my golden 4770K and matching mems and MB's. But don't know what a reasonable prize would be...

     

    CPU:

    4770K - 6700MHz+ SPI 1M 3rd place, Rauf`s SuperPi - 1M score: 5sec 250ms with a Core i7 4770K

    3Dmark01 - 6550MHz+ (result done when I was a noob and before delid)

    I have done a 1393 run (third place) in CB R15 at 6300MHz, but overpoured and got CB before screen. This was also before delid and when I was a noob obviously...

     

    MEMs:

    2x4GB samsungs (Dominators 2400C9). Does 32M at 2890MHz 9-12-12 with tight subs and tight RTL.

     

    Boards: Z97 OCF, or Gigabyte Z97 Soc Force

     

    What would a reasonable prize be for CPU, mems and one of the boards?

    There is many factors that come into play with this score.

    Just because you cant acheive it or dont understand it... maybe you should come to me and not trash my result.

     

    FM has checked the benchmark and it is ok. But obviously you cant figure it out, you call out my sub. Pretty disappointed in ya right now.

    Did ya mod your card? Have you ever ran fse before? Its all about gt2. If mem bugs, it scores lower... not too mention your on a completely different os. Many factors come into play and its consistent. I asked fm originally to look at because i knew one of you guys eould do this

    Its quite a shame that i have to defend a result after clearly people know i bench the firestrikes all the time.

    Just because you cant do it.. doesnt mean its impossible.

    No need to get upset, it's just a discussion. I'm not saying you're cheating or something. Maybe saying it's "obviously bugged" was a too strong statement, sorry for that. But still, there is a reason you checked the score with FM right?

     

    As far as I know the Fire Strikes were designed to be "non tweakable" and measure "pure performance". Of course we bypass this by LOD/tesselation etc. But FS it's not like legacy benching.

    The thing that makes me wonder is that your score is not consistent across the tests, and not consistent with your Time Spy result. If it truly had been "all about mem", or to find some combination of temps/core/mem/volts to make the card perform better you would do better in GT1 and combined also, and in Time Spy. Of course the different subtests can scale differently, but your scaling in GT2 is a bit extreme in my opinion. With that being said, of course there could be other explanations than bugged score...

     

    When I ran for wild card qualifier I got a few bugged scores when pushing mem really high on RX460. Once I got almost 50% higher in combined for example. You would not call this bugged? Where do you draw the line, 5%, 10%, 50%??? When I have just seen these types of bugged scores, of course it makes me wonder...

     

    Also, we have this from last year's qualifier:

    Aranha got some scores removed, due to too high GT2 results. Those scores would have taken him to the finals...

     

    Maybe you can understand my point of view a little better? I'm not trashing the score, I'm discussing it. If it actually were possible to get bugged scores, would it be good to find that out?

    I see only one other person with high GT2... but I agree it is very hard to tell for sure. Would require access to FM tools to look at frame rates through out the test. Last year FM removed a couple scores because of "bugged runs". But then again, that might not work either cause you can have consistent bugged frames through one of the subtests.

     

    Only possible explanation I see would be a specific LOD which is exceptionally good for GT2, but bad for GT1 and combined...

    I'll leave this be now!

     

    steponz, hope you understand this is nothing personal, I know you are a great 3D-bencher and seem like a really nice guy. Maybe there is some other tweak I just don't know... I'm just sick of bugged benchmarks, cheatable benchmarks (32M) etc... Is there any benchmark we can trust?

    core and mem are exactly same freq in those runs. What differs is mostly cpu score. And diff in both GT1 and GT2 is within margin of error when benching on LN2.

     

    At 2835 core and 2650 mem i got 9493 GPU score

    At 2835 core and 2629 mem i got 9466 GPU score

    At 2835 core and 2600 mem i got 9430 GPU score

     

    This score is 2695/2727 and 9728 GPU score (with GT1 being much slower). It just doesn't make sense. You telling me it is a valid strategy to aim for bugged scores? I think I still have a bugged score with RX460 I can show...

    a friend of mine required my skill to mod his card , for a contest here on hwbot , for anybody intrested about hardmod , tested fully working!

     

    i had no datasheet , so blind mode action:D

     

    gpu pwm FB default value measured to GND is 2.8 Ohm

    gDDR pwm FB default value measured to gnd is 1.024kohm

    I tried the vmem tonight. Didn't have any 20k but used two 10k in serial. Anyway, when I first booted up, vmem kept rising slowly all by itself from 1.5 and somewhere between 1.55-1.6 screen froze. It then gave 0 volts when trying to turn on. Had to remove the vmod to get the card back to life again.

    Any ideas?
