My benchmark submission got reported despite that I did follow the rules.

[DrSwizz]

Hello!

 

One of my benchmark submission got reported as lacking information of what graphics card I was using for the benchmark. However I did clearly show the graphics card information using Rivatuner in my screenshot (I hade to use Rivatuner instead of GPU-Z as I was running the benchmarks using Windows 98 SE and GPU-Z does not work with that OS).

Could someone please look into this? I tried to explained all this in the "comment" entry box for my reported submission, but nobody seems to care.

 

This is the benchmark result in question:

http://www.hwbot.org/submission/2248068_drswizz_3dmark2001_se_rage_128_pro_1852_marks

 

The type of graphics card + the device ID of the card are clearly visible in the screenshot.

GPU clock speeds are missing.

[Turrican]

hmm, did you try an older gpu-z version. maybe it will work?

[DrSwizz]

GPU clock speeds are missing.

 

Well, Rivatuner does not report that.

Yes, I have tried a few older versions + I tried using different settings for kernelex. The problem with GPU-Z seem to be that it want to install some sort of driver that is made for WinXP.

 

Anyway, since the rules clearly state that Rivatuner can be used instead of GPU-Z when GPU-Z does not work, is there any reason why my result should not be accepted?

[Mr.Scott]

See post #2. Rivatuner most certainly does report that. Example:

Yes, but those features are only available when Rivatuner supports the GPU & the drivers that you are using. With unsupported hardware & drivers Rivatuner does not show much more information than I have made available in my screenshot.

Please Dr.Swizz, any other soft like Aida or everest , that shows the clocks of the gpu ?

 

That would be enough, I think, by common sense, we approve this submission

Okay, I will run this benchmark again then and use Powerstrip to shown the clock frequecies. I cannot do this right now though as I have disassembled the rig that I used for the benchmark being discussed here, but I will do it some time in the future.

 

That being said I have submitted several other benchmark results in past where I was unable to use GPU-Z & where I have not showed the clock frequencies since I was not aware of that this requirement. I also have a few old benchmark results that I have not yet submitted (still waiting for hardware to be added to the HWBot database) that where rather difficult to run. I really would not like to be forced to rerun all those benchmarks too as it would require a significant amount of work (old, oddball hardware is easily 10X more time consuming to benchmark than new hardware).

 

Also please update the rules so they do excplicily state that clock frequencies must be included in the schreenshots, otherwise how are people supposed to know about this requirement?

Especially considering that for many of the combinations of hardware & software where GPU-Z fails, Rivatuner does not work 100% either and it is not possible to view & adjust the clock frequencies from within Rivatuner.

[Sweet]

No problem , take your time, and keep pushing

[knopflerbruce]

We'll add the frequency requirement to the rules. Unfortunately there are alot of things that are not clear enough, but we're working on it:)

[Sweet]

Yes DrSwizz, like Knopflerbruce said.

 

We'll add the frequency requirement to the rules

 

Thanks

[DrSwizz]

Yes DrSwizz, like Knopflerbruce said.

 

Thanks!
