Crew Leeghoofd Posted October 16, 2018 Author Crew Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Small update, I talked to Pasi from UL, usage of the latest Timespy version 2.6.6174 dating from October 8, 2018. Usage of the Systeminfo 5.13, dating from September 28, 2018 There might be an updated Systeminfo later down the road, but not for the upcoming weeks Take note that all suspicious scores will be screened by the crew of UL Benchmarks via the datafile Happy benching!

DrWeez Posted October 16, 2018 Posted October 16, 2018 any clarity on the drivers allowed? Version 416.34 - WHQL Release Date Thu Oct 11, 2018 Any VGA drivers released on or after Oct 12, 2018 1 Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted October 16, 2018 Author Crew Posted October 16, 2018 (edited) Let us start with 416.34 WHQL driver - I'll adapt the rule to on or after 11 october ? Edited October 16, 2018 by Leeghoofd 1 Quote
IvanCupa Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 Hi, Just wanna ask about memory restrictions rule, which is "Galax HOF OC Lab Edition DDR4 4600 CL 19 only". So i assume with this rule, all submission to this competition must use the Galax HOF OC Lab Edition DDR4 4600 CL 19 only? Or can I use another GALAX memory for 3D submmision? - For 2D benchmarks can we use another brand / GALAX VGA? Like GT 730?! - For TS & TSE is it total score / graphics score only? If graphics score only, can I run as a custom run?! Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted October 17, 2018 Author Crew Posted October 17, 2018 (edited) I talked to Uncle MAd and he allows any Galax videocard for the 2D benchmarks based on CPU speed (stage 1 and 2) Edited October 22, 2018 by Leeghoofd 1 Quote
IvanCupa Posted October 17, 2018 Posted October 17, 2018 3 hours ago, Leeghoofd said: Rules state: Galax 4600CL19 and 2080 Ti as hardware restriction: this means no other gpus or Galax memory versions, no matter the bench. It is GPU score only so you can select custom, but no alteration in the benchmark settings. Ah OK. 1 more question to making sure the things.., I must include GPUz window in 2D benchmark submission to verify we are using the Galax RTX 2080Ti ?! Because i think there's no Windows XP driver for RTX at the moment (if someone use Windows XP capable boards for 2D benchmarks). Thus, GPUz will show Generic 'Microsoft Basic Display Adapter' detection. Thanks for the answer. ?? Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted October 17, 2018 Author Crew Posted October 17, 2018 You need a VGA driver for Pi ? Quote
ikki Posted October 18, 2018 Posted October 18, 2018 Can I use 3.2 for GPUPI version? Please tell me which version you can use if you can not use it Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted October 19, 2018 Author Crew Posted October 19, 2018 only 3.2 or below is allowed... Quote
ikki Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 On all benches VGA understands that Galax HOF OC Lab Edition 2080 ti can be used Stage 1: SuperPI 32 m Stage 2: Memory Frequency Do I have to use Galax HOF OC Lab Edition 2080 ti on this bench? Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted October 22, 2018 Author Crew Posted October 22, 2018 I updated the first post... On stage 1 and 2 you can use any Galax videocard Quote
The3DLink Posted October 22, 2018 Posted October 22, 2018 I'm curious if anyone else has had their hardware delayed from Galax. Theres been some sort of production delay on my GPU pot, (GPU backplate as well, but obviously not necessary for benching). I spoke with Gary from Galax via email and he stated that if there's enough request by those affected that they would consider extending the contest deadline. Just looking to get a headcount on people who are still waiting on hardware. Quote
Micka Posted October 26, 2018 Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Stage 4: 3DMark TimeSpy Extreme, GPU score only Stage 5: 3DMark TimeSpy, GPU score only We just need run GT1 and GT2 or need complete the entire test？ Edited October 26, 2018 by Micka Quote
Crew Leeghoofd Posted October 26, 2018 Author Crew Posted October 26, 2018 (edited) Update: a full run is required and total score counts for the compo Edited November 4, 2018 by Leeghoofd Quote
Wizerty Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 Hi, " Screenshot must contain CPU-Z CPU, memory and SPD tab and GPU-Z for 3D stages " For 3D stage only main GPU-Z or also sensor TAB ?

Just looking to get a headcount on people who are still waiting on hardware. I'm still waiting my pot and backplate to start benching... as I don't have any other galax video card.... I hope to get it soon, less than 10 day for this high level contest, with work, family... and as we all spent 2000$ on galax hardware I guess we all hope to have enough time to bench it properly. By the way, the OCer who got practice in GALAX OC LAB are alowed to join the qualification ? are the qualified already for final ? GL to everyone. Quote
Bulshooter Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 On the e-sports site are the points 10-8-6-4-2 and on the competioton overview you have 50-48-46 etc what is the right pointsystem? Quote

Still waiting for GPU and Mems here I assume SPD should be shown on all stages as we got to use the same kit on all of them. As far as I know, the only people that qualified are the winners from previous years + Rauf for winning the qualifier in 2017. Quote
Alex@ro Posted October 27, 2018 Posted October 27, 2018 Maybe one week extension would not hurt anyone i guess. Btw you can use ekwb gpu pot with g92 mounting and longer screws for rtx 2080ti Raptor 3 and 4 should work as well, tek 9 fat needs new bracket... Quote

I I think many people have bought more than two kits，Why limit their use? Quote
