trodas Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 While submiting score to HWbot, I wanted to submit the precise configuration. That include a SSD drive as boot OS partition and old IDE PATA HDD for data 30G Corsair Nova 2 SSD 320G Seagate 16MB cache (ST3320620A) However I hit a wall. Selecting in the "Disk" section the "Amount" "2x": ...does NOT open additional drive choices, where I can enter the additional HDD, but only in the resulting score show the HDD as if I having two of these SSD drives. Same thing happen with graphic cards and RAMs. And there could be situations, when user have, for example, there different GFX cards...! That should be supported. As well, as having mixed rams - 2x G.Skill and 2x Hyper X = also impossible to enter config like this. Or do I missed something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I agree in theory, but our database does not support multiple devices to be tied to one submission. For example, we don't support a 3DMark submission with R9 290X + R9 290. In the case you have different hardware, the guideline states you must submit in the category of the better hardware. So in the example, the user would have to submit in the 2x R9 290X category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trodas Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Okay, but that won't be too hard to add, will it? I mean... it just expand the tables, not breaking the old submissions, when allowing a new ones, right? Something to look for the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 It is very difficult, because our entire point calculation engine is build on the assumption there is one hardware identified for a ranking. We'd have to re-write a large portion of the code to support multi-hardware submissions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trodas Posted July 21, 2014 Author Share Posted July 21, 2014 Then forget the points, let just be added the HDD/GFX/memory and that it is Later we can talk about points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Hm, it doesn't really work like that . I can add this request to our development backlog, but since it would be very time consuming the priority is low. We have a lot of other stuff to fix first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
