Rauf Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I have payed already Nothing strange that you pay to enter a contest, like in every other sport when there is a decent prize pool. But you probably have to change the rules. Retail/commercial BIOS only? That would make elmors and the stilts work useless. Also no XOC bioses for motherboards... Rule should be "publicly available" or something like that... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted September 14, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 14, 2016 (edited) I agree, this was planned to be stated as "publicly available BIOS only" We will change the rules Edit Updated Edited September 14, 2016 by websmile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew gavbon Posted September 14, 2016 Crew Share Posted September 14, 2016 When does the €50 entry fee have to be paid by? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 October 10, noon GMT+8. At that point we announce the contestants and there's a week to submit. The competition page will be available by the end of the day (so everyone can prepare their scores to submit between October 10 and October 17.

The competition page will be available by the end of the day (so everyone can prepare their scores to submit between October 10 and October 17. So to clarify, is the wallpaper made available before October the 10th so benching can be done and then submitted in the final week?? If its not made available till the 10th then thats gonna make it hard for some. Nice comp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 The wallpaper* will be up by the end of the day, allowing anyone who wants to prepare to bench up front. The competition itself opens only on the 10th, after the pre-registration closed. Sorry for the confusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rauf Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Was it intended for the y-cruncher to be a low clock stage? I just tested the different calculation methods and the ones with avx2 are much faster. Even high clocks on ln2 won't help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) @Rauf, Woops, thanks. y-cruncher will be replaced by 3DMark11 Physics: a Core i3 (Skylake), Pentium (Skylake), Celeron (Skylake) processor Only use latest version: v1.0.132 SystemInfo Version 4.48 (enabled and running) Valid link mandatory A verification screenshot is required Download official wallpaper: here a Radeon RX 460 videocard Screenshot: CPUZ (CPU, Memory, Motherboard), GPUZ, 3DM11 Physics score.

Rauf Posted September 15, 2016 Author Share Posted September 15, 2016 Which versions of Fire Strike and GPU-PI are ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted September 15, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 15, 2016 (edited) GPUPI 2.3x, which is mandatory now, on FSE latest sysinfo and all versions except for 1.00. As you saw, Christian just works on rules update, so for this I will ask Christian for confirmation to be 100% sure. Usually I recommend latest version because it is most reliable Edited September 15, 2016 by websmile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauf Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 Confirmation as soon as possible on Fire strike version would be much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted September 16, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 16, 2016 Use the latest version, dated 16.08. (2.1.2973), it is best to avoid problems. Latest sys info is madatory, 4,48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauf Posted September 16, 2016 Author Share Posted September 16, 2016 "Best to use it", or is it mandatory? It's an important question as results likely will differ a bit from earlier versions. I don't want to be beaten by one with version 1.1 if I run latest... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted September 16, 2016 Administrators Share Posted September 16, 2016 Use the latest version should be clear - 2.1.2973 is mandatory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strong Island Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 man cant believe I killed my golden 6500mhz 6100 right before this came around. I am so upset with myself, that chip still looks like one of the fastest around, goodbye, what a horrible feeling that is. Is anyone going to try a power board mod. If nobody else does I wouldnt but if some people do then I would want to try. But might not even help with this gpu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I saw you ran some crazy Vcore for i3, they are not as tough as 6700K And now the cpu stage will be a little tighter I guess. Quite a few cpus out there around 6350MHz. I will not use powerboard, don't have one, don't know how to use one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will not use powerboard, don't have one, don't know how to use one ya I benched on impact the night before and let it sit 14hrs but I guess it wasnt enough, it was still a little wet and shut down and next start was 00. Really killed me for days. I just couldnt believe it. Ya I have never done power board mod with amd card, not sure if rx460 is easy like nvidia, because the last few generations werent.
