Hi Bluefiber, as said, I am not able to modify submissions after the official end of a competition. You might send an appeal to Christian Ney, but don´t set hopes high, we know mistakes can happen but because of this, check each sub twice or three times always, sorry Edit I saw you sent picture in time at fb, so this changes things, added it after counseling head of moderation because of submission chaos we had

Hwbot rules apply for validation here, please note that Time Spy makes an exception from this, we synchronized verification rules with futuremark for it, so Time spy is at the moment the only new 3d Futuremark benchmark that needs to be shown valid for Hwbot as well, LOD not allowed for example

The ram you will have to overclock in BIOS, this is usually try and error, hardw way - for vga oc, there are several tools which might help you at getting best out of the 570, msi afterburner or nvidia inspector for example can overclock it via software. We have a download area where a lot of tools are listed http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=138687

This makes sense because we initially agreed on keeping the cost and price of hardware needed at "normal" level to give also people without new gen 1-1,7k cpu the chance to participate with a realistic chance to get decent position. This is why TitanX Pascal is out as well. The stages are balanced this way, I was more than surprised when I saw and got response first now 2011-3 should be only platform instead of being ruled out.

OK, obviously the original plan was not changed as the announcement and rules tab initially proposed. Updated opening post to clarify 2011-3 not allowed, all other platforms are OK as long as retail and non-server hardware. Sorry the inconvenience, was obviously a communication problem we now fixed before the start. Rules will get updated as well

20 as minimum that is still accepted. Funny that I see 5 degrees and such stuff, seems no matter what you write at rules, most people do not read it anyway..

Cough - 5 days still no picture?^^ I am very patient if something like this happens once, but no picture means I will delete the thread next days and make bookmark about this

It was stated several times that due to skylake idle temps being low, as well as amd, we accept 20 minimum. On x265, if cpu is delidded with liquid metal, there is not much more that you can do, only get better cpu maybe

No removals because of this. The validation at FM, even without link, is enough

The link has not to be part of the submission if it is shown as valid unless you have a global top 20 result. This is the way I will handle it for this competition, please note that the challenger divisions are part of introduction of the benchmark. We will evaluate the results and update the rules after the competitions end, for now the complete screenshot with result shown valid is OK. On other competitions, we will ask for the link explicitly if needed, rules will state this

You can particpate in stages 2 and 3 - maybe you contact amd and propose they do a benchmark as well, if enough users ask for this they might bother to support oc with an AMD benchmark P.S. We have two divisons at challengers which are AMD only if you want to participate, and on realbench competition, at least some of the stages are open for all hardware. To come back to Formula, I think the point distribution shows that we also appreciate the all open stages a lot

4200.0000000

Above 103 avx2 does not work at unlocked non K 1151 cpus. This is why you beat higher bclk at XTU and a couple of other benchmarks which rely on this

Good luck for everyone, minimum temps accepted will be 20degrees Celsius as on stage 1, The Stage is limited at clock frequency for core and cache (4200.00), no limitations on cores and threads used but 2011-3 not allowed as well as Titan XP Pascal

Physics is still not allowed, but before you report, check the links - the fact GPUZ shows physics does not mean it is enabled for the benchmark

Wow, rampage at Moscow

I assume it is win7, but I wonder why people with impossible runs often cut the screenshot. Might be needed to handle this more strictly

Try the 1.92, worked fine for me, if you want the 2.03, hit me on fb and I send you link, found this at my drop box

This is no Time spy specific problem - you can say thank you to microsoft rather in my opinion^^

You can find the latest approved drivers at FM website at approved drivers Futuremark Benchmark Rules In general, FM accepts all WHQL drivers iirc, Beta drivers are rarely accepted, no idea if there is a list of these

Check your os and if rtc/HEPT are enabled, maybe your OS is corrupted or you have to re install the benchmark, can have several reason. This problem would also make FS or FSE invalid with windows 10, Timer error is not accepted at Hwbot with System and OS that are vulnerable to RTC bug

Yes, if you cannot show by validating the saved file and do a screenshot showing valid or proviide a link that shows valid result there is no chance the result gets ranked. Can only block it then, no other option, the result has to be approved by the fm online check and shown to be valid

The classic way is to save the validation file and then submit it for a check. As far as I can say this works and so it does not require an active internet connection during the benchmark

Validation link is not mandatory for non global top 20 - this is why the online validation is progress, it can be shown at result without needing a link. Sorry to hear that you lost the results completely, this is hard when you have no chance to rebench

Lol, I even blocked some fs results at division 5 because I mistook them for time spy - I re enabled the results apart from one which was win 10 and time measurement error, so I fiixed this again^^ - sorry for the inconvenience
