Would HWBot consider adding a rule for 7-series cards to state that Shader, ROP and Geometry MHz must all be visible in screenshots? (ie.... use Rivatuner and have it open)

 

Geometry delta has such a massive effect on the score and a lot of the time, the details are hidden

 

Thanks

Can you show us an exemple of such screenshot ?

 

 

No memory tab because it was obviously never gonna be submitted

aren't those clocks synchronised/linked ?

 

EDIT: hum seems editing the bios allows you to change the gdc

Is flashing bios the only way to raise/lower it or a tool like riva tuner can do it ?

Nibitor + nVFlash is the only way I know how to do it. It's something for tweakers, 100%.

lol, from a clock to another the 3dmark score can do a huge jump that looks like if it is bugged and it is not

 

to include it in the ss will help to avoid bugged ''called'' runs (that aren't due to the gdc)

Ideally, it would get included in GPU-Z. Sadly, W1zzard is not up for it.

I think it's a good idea. Riva Tuner is the common prog to check geometric clock delta and many overclockers use it anyway.

 

If you encounter the annoying geo shader bug at 783/792MHz it's even necessairy to lower it considerably

It's good info but Rivatuner is retired with no plans for update. hwbot also wants to keep benchmark validation as uniform as possible.

That's understandable.

 

On the other hand we are talking only about GeForce-7-series cards which are way older than the latest RivaTuner versions and have full support.
