macsbeach98 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Michael I tried to submit in SC4 Stage5 with a 3770k and HD6970 and was blocked because the card was a TeraScale3 not a TeraScale2 a HD5870 is a TeraScale2 card so can I submit with that. Its better to ask first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted July 5, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) This is clearly a configuration error - will make a task to update this, HD 6000 is OK, but I intended the 69 series to be part of this and not the 68 Edited July 5, 2017 by websmile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macsbeach98 Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Thanks Michael 6870 down is TeraScale2 its just 69XX is TeraScale3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted July 5, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) I know, but we had 58xx which are practically same a couple of times now, this would make no sense to use it again. 6970 and 6950 are main targets  P.S. The division of amd cards is giving headaches all the time^^ Edited July 5, 2017 by websmile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObscureParadox_3XS Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 OC eSports) Â Seems to be dividing the scores by 3 since there is only 1 sub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted July 6, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 6, 2017 This is OK because you need 3 entries for the complete result and it is average time because faster is better. Still 3 subs will always be ranked higher than one or two only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickulty Posted July 6, 2017 Share Posted July 6, 2017 I see no obvious reason why you did not ask - if you buy stuff without knowing before the contest even started it is not hwbot`s business. Not much more to say about it, it is a three months contest and there is no need to hurry. Â Why would someone ask when there wasn't anything that would introduce doubt? I don't see the forum full of people checking if P45 boards and E8xxx series C2Ds are ok for LGA775 pifast. Please can you just add something to the competition page to reflect the actual rules? Since FB-DIMMs are server hardware and I assume no-one mind if someone handicaps themselves with SDR, a simple "no RDRAM" would be perfect and then there would be no chance of anyone else making the same mistake. Â I totally understand and support the decision to make it a DDR1-4 stage so that it's not a "who can find an RDRAM board" competition, I just really want to see it communicated properly before someone else buys hardware they can't actually use. Please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators websmile Posted July 6, 2017 Administrators Share Posted July 6, 2017 Anyway, you can contact Christian_Ney on this or Massman, maybe they finally update the stage rules. I am now off duty for an undetermined time and plan to do a lot of unfinished business that I had no time for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havli Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 How exactly the ranking algorithm works? For example the situation is as following: Â 3DMark01 GTX 200 (3 GPUs) Â person1 -> submits 110k with GTX 280 (day 1) person1 -> submits 115k with GTX 285 (day 2) Â person2 -> submits 105k with GTX 260 216 (day 3) Â person3 -> submits 120k with GTX 285 (day 4) Â -------------------- So after day 2 we have one score contributing to the stage which is 115k with GTX 285... 38333 total score. After day 3 we have 115k (GTX 285) + 105k (GTX 260 216)..... 73333 total score. But what happens after day 4? The logical approach would be 120k (GTX 285) + 110k (GTX 280) + 105k (GTX 260 216).... 111666 points total. Question is, does it really work this way?

ObscureParadox_3XS Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 @havli yes it works that way assuming that the person who submitted hasn't already got a sub in that section with another card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macsbeach98 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 For SC2 Stage 1 Geforce8 is 8800GTS 512 allowed seeing as its a G92 chip and not a G80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Strunkenbold Posted July 11, 2017 Crew Share Posted July 11, 2017 For SC2 Stage 1 Geforce8 is 8800GTS 512 allowed seeing as its a G92 chip and not a G80 Â Well but we just ask for 8000 Series cards. So every card which was released as Geforce 8xxx should be allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macsbeach98 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Ok Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Strunkenbold Posted July 11, 2017 Crew Share Posted July 11, 2017 Since we had trouble with the Radeon HD 6000 Stage: I changed the limitation to specific GPU Cores, means you should be able to submit with Radeon HD 69xx, 69xxM, HD 68xx and HD68xxM cards. Thats still not the whole HD 6000 series but at least a lot closer. Let me know if it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Things Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Sorry - have to ask. Xeon E3 allowed for Stage 1.1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niobium615 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I'm guessing that would fall under server hardware, which isn't allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Strunkenbold Posted July 12, 2017 Crew Share Posted July 12, 2017 I'm guessing that would fall under server hardware, which isn't allowed. Â That's correct. No Xeons anywhere. Just for the s939 stage are Opterons allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ObscureParadox_3XS Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 For Mem valid and any other Validation subs that might be there. What sort of pwrcentage does the screenshot have to be within and do we have to show CPu tab for mem validation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casanova Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I downloaded the official wallpaper of the competition in the first days of it and ran the benchmarks, printed and uploaded my results. The thing is that i notice the wallpaper changed! I took a look at the result of other competitors and some of them are using the same wallpaper that i downloaded. I would like to know if i'll have to run all the benchs again with the new wallpaper, or the first one is still valid? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Strunkenbold Posted July 20, 2017 Crew Share Posted July 20, 2017 Thats odd for sure, in my opinion we cant punish the people because we were not able to provide the correct wallpaper when the comp started. So I say its allowed. When Websmile comes back from the vacation and decides something different - I take the blame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funsoul Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Sorry if it's already been covered but I seem to be missing something with aquamark. Had a few ok scores but whenever I try to upload the results files, all throw a corrupt error. Is there something I need to do in app settings or bios or something?
