Administrators websmile Posted July 2, 2016 Administrators Share Posted July 2, 2016 (edited) Unless the rules allow or ask for sli or cf or are marked full out, all vgas stages are single vga core. I tend to allow native dual gpu core card for the dogpile (like 7950gx2 or 3870x2), but for sure 2x8800GTS for example is not allowed. I will discuss the dual gpu native topic and let you know, but sli or cf with two or more cards is definitely out Edit: I checked again, we have already agreed on this topic to be for single gpu core only - so no sli,cf and no dual gpu cards for dogpile Edited July 2, 2016 by websmile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Digg_de Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) There are two options for SC3 Stage 2: 1. This stage requires 3 submissions with different GPUs from different users! OC eSports 2. This stage requires 3 submissions with different CPUs from different users! OC eSports GPUs, not CPUs, right?

This stage requires 3 submissions with different CPUs from different users! OC eSports GPUs, not CPUs, right? Being that it's a 3D bench, different GPU's would be correct.

Administrators websmile Posted July 5, 2016 Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Yes, this is a typo, on 3ds of course the vgas make the result and therefore three different gpu models have to be used P.S. Of course I scheduled a fix to end confusion^^ Edited July 5, 2016 by websmile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauf Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 In vintage category, Memory Clock DDR1. It says: "This stage requires 3 submissions from different users!" All other mem-freq. stages require only 1 submission. Is this correct? It seems strange because you can not have three different types of hardware... And also the usual questions for all mem frequency stages: Any difference in frequency allowed between screenshot and validation? There are no specific rules so I assume XOC is ok in validation and we don't have to show SPD in screenshot? What do we have to show in screen, only mem tab?

Administrators websmile Posted July 5, 2016 Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2016 CPU and mem tab are minimum requirements for a screenshot, xoc should be ok, no difference from validation to screenshot. Please provide a picture of the rig with mem stick visible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please provide a picture of the rig with mem stick visible Both CPU and mem tab? All that info is in the verification link already.. If serious you really should add that to the stage info then as I checked both there and the rules for mem frequency and it said nothing about what should be in the screenshoot so only took one with mem tab open. HWBOT Memory Clock Benchmark Validation Regulations OC eSports EDIT: And no requirments of CPU tab in last months comp either, why add it now? Whats the gain from having it?

Administrators websmile Posted July 5, 2016 Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2016 Sad to hear this , but let´s not ignore common sense - we all know the minimum requirements for 2d screenshots, this is 2x cpuz with cpu and mem tab. Please don´t make life so hard for yourself, a bit of logic and common sense are often better than making 10 pages of rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure if I would count mem frequency as a 2d bench but ok, so I take it we need to show mem tab aswell for the CPU frequency in am2 stage?

Administrators websmile Posted July 5, 2016 Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2016 Definitely. I created a task to add this to the screenshot rules, obviously we expected too much P.S. Good this came up quite early, so we can add to the rules before the hot phase starts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Scott Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Sorry Michael but I think that's crap. Never ever have we needed more than the validation link for mem clk anywhere at any time, INCLUDING the Div. 7 challenge that just finished. All the pertinent info is included in the link anyway.

Rauf Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 @websmile I don't agree with you there. Hwbot is working hard to attract new overclockers. But in many competitions there are some stages where you have to be a veteran to even be able to guess the rules... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted July 5, 2016 Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) We handled it with screenshot last year and this year at several competitions and had very good experience with this. The reason we want the screenshot should be quite clear, we checked cpuz and found it to be possible to recycle old subs... P.S. The general rules are quite clear for screenshots and what is needed, if we demand a screenshot cpuz cpu and memory tab are always needed Edited July 5, 2016 by websmile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauf Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Yes, but what is the point of cpu tab? Many habe already submitted without it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good this came up quite early, so we can add to the rules before the hot phase starts. The bolded part just comes out bad as I cant find one single time where we have needed to show both CPU and Mem tab for mem frequency in a competition before and its not required for normal subs at all as the cpuz valid link is enough there. Last comp I could find with CPU frequency as a stage was team cup 2015 and guess what, there was no need for the cpu and mem tab, there was no need for a screenshot at all. OC eSports If not a single one of us that have posted scores yet, that are all experienced with competitions here at HWbot managed to get it right, it sure wasnt Obviouse to anyone.

Administrators websmile Posted July 5, 2016 Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Many also submitted 3ds lately without gpuz - shall we change the rules because of this?^^ P.S. Screenshots are, next to the links, another method of providing the required verification. Please make sure your screenshot is as clear as possible! In general, this is required: CPU-Z CPU information tab CPU-Z Memory information tab GPU-Z videocard information tab (3DMark/PCMark/Aquamark) For SuperPi/Pifast: entire calculation has to be visible For 3DMark/PCMark: benchmark settings have to be visible as well as the subtest scores And on the topic, if not tons of people would have cheatet last years at challengers and other comps by recycling old scores, we would gladly skip the screenshot - so it is our fault that there are people who cheat?

Mr.Scott Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 we checked cpuz and found it to be possible to recycle old subs... When???? And don't say during Div. 7 challenge, because if that's true and wasn't mentioned then, I'll call rigged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanbonden Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Many also submitted 3ds lately without gpuz - shall we change the rules because of this?^^ Silly argument as there is clear rules what should be in a screenshoot for each 3d benchmark compared to N/A for the frequency screenshoot rules.

We checked ourselves, this is why we went for cpu 1,76 and the screenshot - on the recycled scores, I do not think I have to give examples, everyone should have seen this especially at challenger divisions over the last 12 months. It was reason we made background mandatory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauf Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I thought we were discussing the cpu-tab in the screenshot. Not the screenshot itself. We all saw what happened in challenger round 1... You did not answer why the cpu-tab is needed for mem oc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.Scott Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 (edited) Whatever. I'm so done with this. The cheats suck every stitch of fun out of this hobby. And never any repercussions for them, just for the honest players. Goalposts that change mid game, totally sick of it. Crap like this is exactly why this hobby will never become any more than what it is already. CHANGE IT.
