buildzoid Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 IMO power boards won't do anything on the RX 460. The VRMs on the only 2 460s I would try to use both look plenty powerful. So you won't have power issues. As for power quality you could try put more caps on the VRM but the NCP should be driving each phase at 440Khz already and most recent AMD cards really didn't benefit from any of my attempts to add capacitors to the Vcore VRMs. What I would focus on is getting memory voltage, AUX, and .95V modded. Also if the memory doesn't scale with volts I would try tighter memory timings. Most AMD GPU BIOSs these days contain several sets of memory timings so it should be a case of just copying some lower clock timings into the higher clock timing slot. No I'm not joining but I do want to mess with an RX 460. So I'll help where I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauf Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Can we use other vga than rx460 for physics stage? It makes it much simpler to bench if we don't have to unmount and reflash bios etc for vga to run them aircooled... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted October 1, 2016 Administrators Share Posted October 1, 2016 We discussed this when rules were made, we want the 460 even if it might be a bit inconvenient because we want same conditions for all and no vga/driver battle at different level. I am sure you can understand why, even though we are sorry for the inconvenience P.S. This was a unanimous decision to keep the playing field even and also have better comparability of results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rauf Posted October 5, 2016 Author Share Posted October 5, 2016 Just wanted to say that I think the idea that you have to register for the competition is a very good idea and would like that in all competitions. I have no problem with sandbagging, but when you don't even know who you're up against it's just too sneeky. There is constantly like 10 guys posting in the last hours who have posted nothing before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkim Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 I don't like it either, but on the other hand, whats wrong about it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted October 5, 2016 Crew Share Posted October 5, 2016 Sandbagging has become part of our beloved hobby... Nevertheless I agree at least submit a placeholderscore... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew gavbon Posted October 5, 2016 Crew Share Posted October 5, 2016 I thought the competitors get announced on the 10th? So you have 7 days of knowing who's in the competition before it ends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rauf Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 Ok, there are no official rules for 3D11 Physics. I see that some people in the low clock challenge have modified the settings, like modify resolution, ambient occlusion, etc. is that allowed? Changing things doesn't seem to affect score as it's all CPU calculations anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted October 9, 2016 Administrators Share Posted October 9, 2016 Sigh, the 3dm11 rules apply for the competition and also for 3dm11 physics, I really wonder why people always change things after their own gusto. It is part of 3dm11 and it should be clear you don´t change settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is part of 3dm11 and it should be clear you don´t change settings. Ok, how about running windowed mode? It can help to set bclk on the fly for boards that don't have oc keys or oc panel support. It doesn't really affect settings... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted October 10, 2016 Administrators Share Posted October 10, 2016 When resolution/benchmark settings are OK at fm link and shown result, I cannot check this anyway and afaik this has no influence on results. This is what I care about, the things I can check, so if you can provide a valid result with running this, it should be ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I care about, the things I can check, so if you can provide a valid result with running this, it should be ok You can see it under settings in validation link. Windowed mode... But maybe you can change exe-properties in windows to run it in window. Don't know if that is possible... Sorry for bugging you, but i just want to make sure.

Administrators websmile Posted October 10, 2016 Administrators Share Posted October 10, 2016 Then it makes no sense to use window mode, I would have to block the result for being non default benchmark settings. Try hotkey for oc tools, this often works with profiles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew gavbon Posted October 10, 2016 Crew Share Posted October 10, 2016 I'm still failing to see why people change these settings if they have absolutely no influence on performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators websmile Posted October 10, 2016 Administrators Share Posted October 10, 2016 Small reminder, use the stated benchmark version and sysinfo, especially for stage 2 GPUPI for GPU 2,3x because I saw a lot of older versions lately at competition entries. This is not accpted anymore and upload of file will fail most likely anyway with older version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
