I made a raw precheck which cost me several hours of my life... I blocked an estimated 60-100 results and will not check again before the end of the competition, I did not even check 100% of all results so please xheck the lower results yourself at some divisions.

Hi Farid, prices at for sales section are mandatory, please set a price for each item you offer. And please include the ddr2 you offer in another picture, can´t find it there, and add the date to the sheet with your name - thank you

In fact Futuremark sponsors 3d marks for a lot of guys by giving out free keys on hwbot ^^ - I don´t think that the whole bunch of people who disagree with the use of LOD changing here at hwbot are all sponsored by FM btw, we cannot always ignore the concerns and arguments of this group

Time spy is synchronized with FM and HOF, the rules are online from the start and will get an update but the general points are clear already. We had long discussions about LOD at older 3Ds because a lot of guys disapprove the use, but on these we have our own rules at hwbot verification which will stay, but for time spy, because it is a new benchmark, the rules are same for HOF and for hwbot

This is a heads up for all participants at the Time spy stages of all challenger divisions. Please note that LOD is not allowed and that according to the time spy rules by Hwbot and Futuremark only results with verification links or screenshot which show result as "valid" will be accepted. Please check the rules again and re bench if needed, I have no choice but to remove/block all results without link or link shown as not valid by any reason after the competition

So we refund everyone including people who won a couple of thousand euros as prize or hardware much more worth than what they paid as entry and ask them to return what they won with given reason it is your bad you were that good that you won and we need to refund people who did not as good as you? You really know how to make friends - good luck at explaining this to the guys^^ If the fee is not enough, do we charge participants with extra 100 euros each to cover cost according to your logic?^^ In the unlikely case there will be an euro left it will go to hwbot causes and not to make anyone at hwbot get a bonus^^ ---- There are a lots of sports events you have to pay an entry fee to join, marathons, poker tournaments, even at some football tournaments and many other at least in germany, this is used when entrance for spectators is free and sponsoring doesn´t cover expected costs. I f you think the competition and prices is not worth the entrance, no need to participate. No one is charged any fee for joining hwbot, no one is charged a fee for using hwbot and no one is charged for services as well. This is a competition that is eligible but not mandatory. I abolutely accept that you do not like the entrance fee, if hwbot would have found another way to cover the cost, I would have preferred this as well. On selling the 6950 to cover cost, do you ask MSI for hardware you do not use with the argumentation you will not give them anything back (publicity by future results, mentioning, etc) but will sell it to cover your cost for LN2 and your valuable time? I don´t think they would appreciate this much, and if sponsors would have wanted to support the cause financially only, they would have sent a cheque and not hardware This is my personal opinion on this, no need to agree for you because I also see some point at your views, I just think that there are always two angles to see things, maybe it shows a different perspective P.S. Alex, we cannot give free entrance, then we would have to make a general ticket in my opinion that makes you eligible for all tour events of one season in the future at a much higher price. If this is wanted it might be worth discussing it, like a one event ticket only and a general "one year ticket" for people who plan to visit all or at least several events. I am not sure this would make sense though, but I am open to propoals like we all are at hwbot if there is demand. On the exclusion of stage winners, this might have been an option, it was decided differently. Might change in the future, this is first event for a wild card at world tour, we all need to learn from experience and feedback

Try a clear cmos on the msi system. Maybe board or cpu are defective, but first try to recover standard fail safe settings by clear cmos, if this doesn´t help check socket and cpu for physical damage and maybe test your cpu at a second board to see if it causes the problem, you can also check the cpu from asus system at the msi board to see if board causes the problem. P.S. You can also check SSDs and interchange these (use ssd from asus on the msi system for check), if in the BIOS of the MSI system are still 6/12 shown, you might have a damaged OS

Bonus points - ranking is messed up and final recalculation will be done after stages closed, but bonus points for ranking are added partially now, they get added to stage 1 preliminarily

ROG is better, but I will not block valid results because of optics

You might be happy with this when 1080ti comes and rips Titan apart hopefully at lower price

Will try, maybe also some of our mobile gurus here can chime in as well

Good luck at moscow and kick some ass

Thanks, I hope it serves you well

Morning

Friendly reminder, please run hwmonitor during the benchmark, start if before you start the benchmark, let is monitor temps during the run and let it open for screenshot so that I can check idle and load temperatures - thank you in advance

I will create a ticket so it can be checked if it is configuration issue

Use the latest version should be clear - 2.1.2973 is mandatory

Forgot to close and move, might bump then anyway

No, sorry, no Xeons or Opterons, we cannot make an exception even for my beloved UPs - I had 3110 myself

Use the latest version, dated 16.08. (2.1.2973), it is best to avoid problems. Latest sys info is madatory, 4,48

Submission window for stage 4 is open, please use latest sysinfo and validation link also helps (check benchmark rules ) - good luck

Please start hwmonitor before you start the benchmark, let it monitor temps during the run, and afterwards let it open for screenshot. You can minimize it during benchmark or whatever, but if I can not check the difference from idle to load at temperature, I will remove the runs from the competition. This is the last time I make a heads up on this, I think logic should also tell that´s the way to handle it. Thanks

Official notification and announcement will be wednesday, the winner is Hernandez

GPUPI 2.3x, which is mandatory now, on FSE latest sysinfo and all versions except for 1.00. As you saw, Christian just works on rules update, so for this I will ask Christian for confirmation to be 100% sure. Usually I recommend latest version because it is most reliable

Sorry to interfere, the run is valid. The problem is that it does not match the competition rules. The rules clearly say must use maximum of 6 Threads on CPU. You used 6 Core + Hyperthreading which is 12 Threads, you can check it at cpuz. Please disable Hyperthreading and run again
