filmbot Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I assume these questions have already been asked and/or been determined but thought it would be a good idea to try to centralize questions. Overview says this is to incorporate the iGP of the APUs but when you click on the first stage, it says, "Only make submissions with a 285 videocard." Is this a Nvidia 285 VGA? Personally, the confusion goes on to Division IV also where it's stated, "In Challenger Division IV round the hardware is limited to the mainstream APU processors and their integrated graphics cards. The processor choice is limited to the Bulldozer and Piledriver models." So are you actually talking about APU CPUs with discrete VGAs or CPUs from that architecture you're requesting or what? What I assume is this has been discussed in the forums and not been brought to clarity on the main page where it should be. I'm sorry that this may come off kurt, aggressive or what have you but if you are looking to move this into the professional realm, things like this need to be stated clearly. Personally I could go on but I appreciate what you guys are doing and enjoy the overall idea of what's going on but seems some details are missing. If I'm out of line and need to be checked because I'm missing something obvious, please tell me and I'll redact/edit anything here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlife Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 For div 5 it's the apus and igpu. I think the whole 285 thing was a mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildzoid Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 For div 5 it's the apus and igpu. I think the whole 285 thing was a mistake I understood it as the R9 285. Also it doesn't say if there are any cooling limitations so I'm wondering if LN2 is allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildzoid Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) There are no cooling limitations Awesome. Still the 285 thing needs to be explained or changed or somethinged. Edited November 4, 2014 by buildzoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmbot Posted November 6, 2014 Author Share Posted November 6, 2014 Awesome.Still the 285 thing needs to be explained or changed or something. Exactly. I understand there are no prizes awarded but it put best foot forward in competition I think is what we are all looking to do. While I know this is not the higher levels for the competition, clarification across all levels needs to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlife Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Taken from the comp page "In Challenger Division V round the hardware is limited to the mainstream APU processors and their integrated graphics cards. The processor choice is limited to the Kaveri, Richland and Trinity models. The graphics card choice is limited to their integrated graphics." If it was a R9 285 it would say R9 285 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was a R9 285 it would say R9 285 Of course we all noticed this but if you click on "Stage 1," one of the requirements says, "Only make submissions with a 285 video card." Obviously this can be looked at as an easy mistake for whatever reason but then looking at Division 4 the requirements are just as murky as the language you posted. "In Challenger Division IV round the hardware is limited to the mainstream APU processors and their integrated graphics cards. The processor choice is limited to the Bulldozer and Piledriver models. The graphics card choice is limited to the GeForce GTX 780, GTX 780 TI, GTX 980 and the Radeon R9 290X." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buildzoid Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) R9 285 it is then. I think the best way would be to get someone to try submit an R9 285 score and see if it gets kicked. I tried to do it with a dummy submission but it kept giving errors. Edited November 7, 2014 by buildzoid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hey all, No idea how I missed this topic. The limitation is incorrectly configured, but it should be the integrated graphics. Let me fix this ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
