Sharing Hardware its legit on the same Team ?

LOD is allowed in most benchmarks, should say in the rules, TimeSpy it's not allowed I believe.

Okay, time to ask yet again.

 

What is the ruling on Using LOD benchmark scores? Is this legal or not legal? I see quite a few of these submissions beating me (2080 TI Single GPU - Class) when I could have clearly used this to surpass many.

Read the rules of the benchmark. It is explicitly allowed for all 3dmarks except timespy and timespy extreme.

Thanks! Then I owe Bruno an Apology for reporting his scores as LOD Hacks.

No they mean we both bring our own gpus 1080tis and then we all use my 7.2ghz cpu to bench 3d benches like aq3 03 05 06 heaven etc. That is allowed right now I think that is the main complaint but how can you monitor that. That's why it's the way it is becuase you can't tell. 

Relying on honesty will never work in competition. Do e-sports use cheat detection as well as judges or do they just say hey let's all be honest guys. 

 

 

Is this still allowed ? :))

So you are saying that for 3dmark2005 stage i can bench with some friends on same mobo/cpu/ram but only to have 4-5 different graphic cards available ? And it is “legal” ?

[GeorgeStorm]

In general that's been the way hwbot has worked, it's only the 'active' component which counts as sharing (gpu for 3d, cpu for most 2d, mem for mem benches, mobo for mobo freq).

 

Not ideal but since you can't really prove otherwise better than nothing.

Yes

3D benches you only have to use different GPU's. The whole rest of the platform can be the same one.
