The official HWBOT Team Cup 2014 - SC2: GPU Challenge thread.

[Massman]

Good call!

 

I've updated the title of the stage. It's 3DMark03

[Tech Tweaker]

Good call!

 

I've updated the title of the stage. It's 3DMark03

 

Looks like everyone that submitted made a mistake then, because all of the current submissions are under 3DMark2001 SE.

[Massman]

Oh ...

 

In that case, let's make it 3DMark01. No harm done ... everything updated!

[mr.paco]

If I may; a query regarding The DX11 PCI challange;

There is only one PCI ran on that bench ever made. I know PCI cards are not a popular HW to use but I would think that with just under 40,000 benchers there would be more than just one

And that one run is questionable as pointed out by Strunkenbold.

http://hwbot.org/submission/2280939_

Could there have been an error made when it was submitted.

Or am I completely wrong and DX11 can run on a PCI card.

If I am wrong;

Pardon my ignorance

If it is wrong;

Since no submissions have been made yet, change to DX9 or whatever.

[Massman]

Should be possible to run DX11 on a PCI card:

I too believe it's possible BUT how many PCI based cards can actually run it?

 

I woudn't believe too many could since PCI cards based on a much older style slot are being phased out in favor of PCI-E slotted cards and production of PCI cards isn't what it used to be by any means over the last few years at least.

That would mean the PCI based models capable of it will be very few so pickings of what cards available to use might pose a problem if really wanting to go for it in this category, esp if having to shop around for one.

 

Maybe some folks here could do some testing and see because I just don't see the playing field within this category being too competitive as it looks ATM. I could be wrong and maybe there are several that can and I do understand that but believe it is a valid question to be asked as in "Are you sure about this" or somewhere along those lines from a competitive standpoint.

 

Hoping I'm wrong and maybe things will turn out it won't be a real problem with it.

Thanx for the response;

If it were easy it wouldnt be fun .

I'll keep at it

Thank you

[Marquzz]

There are a few dx11 cards out there; GT 4xx/5xx/6xx and Radeon 5450 as mentioned. I think that's at least one in every team.

[Moose83]

Is extra gpu allowed for the Kabini stage?

[Massman]

Yes

[I.nfraR.ed]

My bench SATAIII SSD died while running kabini @ 134MHz FSB .

It's really the SSD and not the controller, because it is not detected on my main machine too.

No way to copy the scores either.

[xgamespati]

can i use 610m?

[Massman]

No, just the cards in the list

Pci-e locked to fsb then, just as crappy fm2 that stuff kills ssd and hdd.

The above result is submitted in wrong category.

That card sure is a pci-e version.

 

There is NO sapphire 5450 pci , with 1GB ram.

and sure doesnt look like a low profile pci card , in the photo.

 

A result moderator must edit it.

[GENiEBEN]

OK.

Been through Heaven D11 with a PCI 5450 didn’t get a score monitor doesn’t support 1680 x 1050 (as I remember) had the same problem with a 5770 the only other time I’ve ran the bench. As for cards the Egg only has two available based on the Nvidia 610 & AMD 5450, don’t know if there are others elsewhere so generally sounds very limited.

[MrBreeze]

I'm thinking of making a sub in this category (PCI Heaven extreme) but don't want to put in the time if the rules are going to change. Can Massman or other staff confirm that we are sticking w/ current rules for this stage?

[der8auer]

Why would it change? It's just hard to find the cards but it's possible. I already got bought a 610 PCI for this.

 

Unless it's impossible to run DX11 on any PCI card I don't see why the rules would change.

[MrBreeze]

Agreed but just want to make sure before I make a similar investment.

[QuickFast]

Guess I'll start it off don't know if it's any good I am working with a half dead board der8auer good luck with your 610 pci anxious to see what it can do

In the GPU subcomp #7 for 2x Radeon R7 240, it first shows 3DMark11 Performance is to be ran but when you click for the individual comp it shows catzilla 720p.

What bench is to be used?

Edited July 10, 2014 by mr.paco

[mr.paco]

Macsbeach submitted a run with 2x Radeon R7 240 for the 3DMark11 Performance sub comp #7 with the correct benchmark but the bot engine made it catzilla 720p submission

[Massman]

Ah, I see. Thanks for the report; the benchmark was incorrectly selected

 

Let me fix it right now!

Thank you Massman, its good now...
