We do not agree that often, Roman, but you write exactly what I thought when I followed the discussion. Also the pecking on legacy benchmarks doesnt make that much sense, this all leads hwbot into a direction even more dominated by money. We already stripped the most benched 3ds and old 2ds of wr points to level things, we have 6/12 wr and global for 2d and 9/13 wr and global points for 3d already. If we focus even more on new benchmarks for ranking that need near 3k rig without vga and any binning effort, we will kill hwbot faster than any other way...

Too complicated to make extra category for this, and when AMD decides to sell hardware this way, we cannot influence this. When we force 6950 unlocked to 6970, people will ask "why" as well, because standard clocks of 6970 are a lot higher than 6950. So we take the old solution that worked long years, for me this is no questions of ethics, if we discuss this way what do we say about voltmodding and epower then? You are forced to destroy a card more or less to be successful... If one does, all others have to do as well, and this moves on to cooling, binning etc. Hardware is the way it is, some if unlockable, if you want to win search for these modles

Awesome

Please keep the hardware at its original place, it is hard enough for us to keep track even now. Even if your unlock 6950 beats best 6970, keep it at 6950. I hope I understood your question correctly, if not feel free to explain again

I had similar issues 2 times, once I fixed it by unplugging power, doing clear and removing battery for hours, after this all worked again. Second time this did not help, I had to remove cpu and re-insert to fix it. What causes this actually, I have no idea, it occured randomly, once at benching when I unplugged after failed settings, second time out of nowhere.

General rules, 3.2 paragraph D - I wanted to make sure this also covers this case like I thought, and it is indeed still valid

Yes - but it cannot be submitted at 6970 after flash - it is only way to find a pattern that deals with card ID, thanks btw for raising the topic

The 6950 unlocked will count as 6950 for team cup as well. This is a very old rule, that came with 6800 NV iirc, seems to be still valid. Christian Ney works on making this more safe though, we will ask for picture of card and label most likely. The model of a card is determined by device ID, especially on amd this is very hard if we do not go after this because they give a xxxx about this and rebrand day and niight^^

Mr Scott is right, but this makes problems at 6970 category now because we have a lot of unlocked 6950s there at checking - plus we have 6970 at 6950 category which hints for people being very confused or cheating^^

I fixed it, and there is an option to select active cores in front of cooling used - it is also not put into 2x cpu category, it is one cpu still that is only shown with 2x active cores. This can happen, so no worries about this

Scale busted

I made a request, what is most funny is that leader at 3dm06 uses a native 6970 when I look a device ID...

Please disable points within next hours, otherwise please contact Christian Ney so you can be moved up to Elite league (ES current gen rule) - thank you

Time spy was already added, no matter which constellation we take,minumum requirement is dx9 P.S. On x4 845 I will have to think about if we break the pattern or not, the A series 15h 4 cpus are not released yet, not sure it makes sense if an athlonx4 is fitting in.

We are currently doing last tuning on round 3 Two questions, would you like 15h4, means x845 added? I ask this explicitly because I am not sure about availability worldwide and if you approve this, because of this I rather ask before making decision Point 2, we have the option to keep it at IGP, or I made second option to use R2xx and HD7xxx series as discrete card. Is it time for a change or shall we let it remain the way it was at round2? I need some feedback, of course final decision weill be done by staff, but I think we can only profitate from your opinion on this

Can easily happen, specs are confusing - I will recalculate submission to give you the points

removed from comp - this is a xeon^^

You messed up the screenshot, xtreme sloppy Addict - this shows your 6300 run, fix or I block

No limitations on cooling and cpu, the general rules apply though - no ES and no unreleased hardware, like always for competitions. What you see at the stages are the limitations and rules

Great, thank you, Pieter

Pro cards in general were a topic that was hard to judge, you normally get no big advantage by these at benching over desktop cards, other than on 16 or 24 core server cpus, we rules them out to keep things simple and workstation/server hardware rule understandable. To make staffs life easier, feel free to use all Matrox cards for the dogpile, as long as everyone has same chance it is OK

Brother, you forgot the price - I offer your 25 Euros shipped

Monday most likely

I failed to add as well, tasked it to Pieter - it also doesnt show the settings for me

@ basant bhargav If I see a third score like this after the warning I sent you yesterday with your first run that was already manipulated or bugged, this will not come to a good end
