Posted August 31, 20168 yr Just wondered if someone could have a look at this. Here's my sub http://hwbot.org/submission/3301897_johan45_unigine_heaven___xtreme_preset_radeon_hd_6950_1152.17_dx11_marks?recalculate=true Tried from OC sports and HWBot but keeps telling me it's not terrascale2 but I see other 6950's in the mix
August 31, 20168 yr Administrators I will task Massman, I have a slight suspicion that it might be because card is unlocked and your team already has 6970 with 1536 shaders at ranking...
August 31, 20168 yr Author I just verified that the bios version is the same for the saphire 6950 here at TPU https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/?architecture=AMD&manufacturer=Sapphire&model=HD+6950&interface=&memType=&memSize=
September 1, 20168 yr Administrators We cannot allow all terrascale cards because then we will change the stage - is it possible to just allow 6950 and 6970 again?
September 1, 20168 yr Author It's weird though that ONC has submissions with 6970 and 6950 with unlocked shaders, so it seemed to take their subs just fine. Could it be something else that's the issue?
September 1, 20168 yr Administrators I can tell you what happened, the curse of the good deed. Strunkenbold re-grouped the amd cards lately to make things easier for us all and also merge rebranded cards, this lead to change at database and because of this (6950 and 6970 is terascale3) you cannot submit. This has nothing to do with shaders unlocked or not
September 1, 20168 yr Author So the other submission was done before the "good deed" . So going forward will I be able to submit this one?
September 1, 20168 yr Administrators We have to find a solution, in worst case we have to add them manually, it would be inacceptable to change rules or pattern of hardware after two months imho. This can happen because we all need the fix Strunkenbold did, it will be big progress and I really approve this, but we cannot change stage because of this
September 1, 20168 yr Didn't it originally say HD 6000 and 5000? If anything Terascale 2 only rather than 2+3 is the (unintended) change after 2-ish months The 69xx cards weren't originally excluded.
September 1, 20168 yr Administrators Did I explain it this badly? So, once again,the AMD cards in database were re-grouped because the rebranded cards caused big trouble for users and staff. So Strunkenbold regrouped them by architecture, unfortunately this interfered with team cup that had already started. We will make an addon now to terrascale 2 so that 69xx will be included again, like Strunkenbold proposed Cayman core cards - problem solved
September 2, 20168 yr Author Could that be the same reason my 7870 Pitcairn wasn't accepted for the SC1 stage5. Initially the stage said HD7000 but now that card is not in the list?
September 6, 20168 yr Author Just tried an updated file and it's still a no go. Won't accept the 6950
September 11, 20168 yr Author It still won't accept it, I made my last run could someone add it to the competition for me? http://hwbot.org/submission/3312581_
September 12, 20168 yr Administrators The issue should be solved now, Pieter added all cards by hand which was quite some work I think^^ - I added your submission to team cup and it is now listed
