BeepBeep2 Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 So I've got some IGP scores here on HWBOT that were taken down due to insufficient verification for rankings. It demands GPU-Z in the screenshot, which hangs up my 890GX board if I have more than two CPU-Z windows open. NOT ONLY this, but at the time (middle of may), GPU-Z didn't even show anything useful, and skewed CPU-Z clocks as well as made the system pretty unresponsive. See here: http://img260.imageshack.us/img260/3772/3004igp3dmark06.png and here (06): http://www.hwbot.org/signature.img?iid=374173&thumb=false&iehack=.jpg http://www.hwbot.org/community/submission/996751_beepbeep2_3dmark06_radeon_hd_4290_3307_marks (Vantage): http://www.hwbot.org/community/submission/996750_beepbeep2_3dmark_vantage___performance_radeon_hd_4290_741_marks In the last one, I CLEARLY have CPU-Z open four times, showing the CPU, motherboard model (and bios), memory clock, as well as IGP name and clock at 1066 Mhz (set at 1060). GPU-Z was COMPLETELY useless, crashed my PC or made it unstable. It was impossible for me to post accurate screenshots with it open, because my CPU frequency in CPU-Z would skew > 40 Mhz. IMO it's a pretty dumb reason to invalidate my result. Another thing: I do have the ORB link for the 3DMark06 score, that I would love to add, but my result isn't rankeddue to lack of GPU-Z anyway. (I believe I have the vantage file somewhere as well, I didn't submit it to FM...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knopflerbruce Posted November 4, 2010 Share Posted November 4, 2010 IMO a fair workaround would be to make two screenshots within a short period of time, one with GPUZ and one without (but still with the CPU tab if possible). Not sure if the others agree with me, though... Dealing with buggy software can be a PITA sometimes:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted November 4, 2010 Crew Share Posted November 4, 2010 we had similar issues for the IGP contest... GPU-Z would either freeze up, readout crap or be very sluggish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeepBeep2 Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 Wow, now I lost ~4 more points on submissions who's ranks did not change. I look at them and the rank below me has ~2 more HWBoints on them and the one above in terms of points just blows my result out of the water. I'm pretty angry to say the least.

Crew Leeghoofd Posted November 6, 2010 Crew Share Posted November 6, 2010 Well you blocked the view of your 3dmark06 settings with that 3307 score... Read the rules and get them screenshot done properly ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeepBeep2 Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 (edited) No, I mean I lost 4 points on 5600+ submissions and I had to recalculate them to get my points back. Still, my Vantage result should be counted, as there was nothing I could do about GPU-Z (That read 0 Mhz/0 Mhz anyway) Edited November 6, 2010 by BeepBeep2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
