Calathea Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 That's not what I'm saying. I simply mean that it worked pretty good having a low clock challenge last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bullant Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I guess if sub timings were shown in pics this would also help a little if a score was questionable,I cant really speak for all new comers into this low clock thing but all the regulars and their is quite a few, I think they are all quite honest. Â I quite like that Hwbot has bought the low clock into the cup as it does teach you a lot about overclocking and tweaking your system,running 3D or 2D you really got to have a low clock efficiency starting point to give you a guide on how your efficiency is going.

sburnolo Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Why intel and amd put together in spi32 when the latter have no chance ? For me it's a bad cup , no stage for the poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â I'm not sure what you're point is here exactly? You have to get someone to run every single platform in order to get the highest position in the stage and then it's an average time of all 10 scores.

dinos22 Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Last time turned out ok, only very few cheaters remember?  http://hwbot.org/competition/country_cup_2013/stage/1158_superpi_32m_low_clock_challenge  it's always a challenge as we all rely on honesty of others and we know majority of people are honest but some are not. Last time there was some people with dodgy results removed from what Pieter told me so it's not going to be a surprise if we see it happen again.

Shaving off minutes of efficiency rendering the 'expensive' Haswell runs not so relevant.  Athlon 5350 = 50€ ASUS AM1I-A = 30€  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JunkDogg Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 So, does anyone know a way I can check each family submissions for stage 4? It's hard to track with what I can figure out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just figured I'd say what was on everyone's minds anyway and make sure I wasn't missing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skulstation Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 what is this thing whit stage 5? PCMark for Android but Only use AMD processors. Only use AMD videocards. what android divice use amd as gpu and cpu? Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 It's a secret benchmark; not PCMark for Android. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBreeze Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Maybe the dearth of submissions so far in the Enthusiast Ice Storm stage results from some confusion as there is *no such card* as an R7 270X. There is an R9 270X, and an R7 260X; I'm assuming that the organizers meant the former, but could we get clarification Massman? Â Also just to be clear, is GTX 660 Ti allowed, or only non-Ti? It might increase participation to allow it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted November 15, 2014 Author Share Posted November 15, 2014 Correct MrBreeze!  The limitations were correct, but the information on the competition page not. That's fixed now  Only the GTX 660 is allowed, not the Ti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATMINSIDE Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 I submitted the following for XTU, but there's nowhere on the submission to add a screenshot. I've attached the screenshot in the extra pictures, but the automatic system doesn't pick up the screenshot. How can I get this added to the competition since it "doesn't meet criteria" based on the automatic system?

Taloken Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 you can take the wallpaper from the main page of the competition, it's in FHD ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATMINSIDE Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 you can take the wallpaper from the main page of the competition, it's in FHD ^^ Â The wallpaper is there, but XTU covers it... That's not what's kicking the sub from being applicable to the competition, the issue is there's nowhere to put a "screenshot" on an XTU sub. The only pictures you can upload are the "system" pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taloken Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Just reduce the XTU window ... http://img.hwbot.org/u8630/image_id_1281846.jpeg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATMINSIDE Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Just reduce the XTU window ... http://img.hwbot.org/u8630/image_id_1281846.jpeg  Okay... Point is that I already ran this for the competition.  It's NOT the background kicking it from being valid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATMINSIDE Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Just so we're all on the same page, this is what I see. On the right side it says there's no verification screenshot. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Hm, it seems a lot of people are having the same issue. Â The problem is that the screenshot is attached as a "media". Pretty much like a system picture. The engine checks the verification screenshot field and only if that field is filled out, it will accept the submission as valid. Â The best way to submit a competition result is by going via the competition stage submission functionality. So, Â > http://hwbot.org/submit/competition/country_cup_2014/ > http://hwbot.org/submit/competition_stage/1818 Â Upload the validation file and you'll find the verification screenshot option at the bottom. Â I will ask the development team to always show the verification screenshot option, even for regular submission forms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
