I got a question:

 

On my best OS for SPi stage, the cpu-z doesn't show correctly the bus speed, so besides I got the correct multiplier, vcore, motherboard infos, RAM timmings, etc, the clock speed and RAM speeds are wrong. Can I use other software to show the correct speed with CPU-Z (requested by the rules) or even better can I simply use CPU-z even it shows the wrong clock?

 

The rules say that CPU-Z is mandatory, I'll use it, but I want to avoid issues since it cannot show all of the settings correctly.

 

Thanks

 

I'll post it anyway later and see what happens... =/

You have to make sure CPU-Z is reading the frequencies correctly. Others can do it on a "super-tweaked" OS, so it's definitely possible.

why the "lol"? he's quite good and he's leading too.

 

I'm wondering where all the interest is? Lol maybe just sand bagers. Or maybe because there are no lightnings? Well there is eBay for $800 from Germany rofl!

Thanks for the answer. In fact it's not a super tweaked OS, but its a bug that I've been facing using 1155 cpus and the CPU-Z on windows 8.. but ok, I'll stick with the old xp. Thanks!

gnidaol domination MOA...lol

 

While the big guys arrives, including you...

Yeah, at least he is participating....

Maybe preparing all components and buying LN2 for the long competition.

Seems not to legit :rolleyes:

please, be clear to me.

From my understanding, system points is:

1 phase:

3DMark11: 60 - 43,2 - 38,4 - 36 - 33,6 - 31,2 - 28,8 - 26,4 - 24 - 21,6 - 19,2 - 16,8 -

14,4 - 12 - 9,6 - 7,2 - 4,8 - 2,4 - 0 - 0 - ... 3DMark03: 25 - 18 - 16 - 15 - 14 - 13 - 12 - 11 - 10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 -

0 - 0 - ... SuperPI 32M: 15 - 10,8 - 9,6 - 9 - 8,4 - 7,8 - 7,2 - 6,6 - 6 - 5,4 - 4,8 - 4,2 - 3,6 - 3 -

2,4 - 1,8 - 1,2 - 0,6 - 0 - 0 - ...

 

after, the 15 winners go to second phase, and his points will be:

3dmark11

First place: 20

points Second place: 16

points Third place: 12

points Fourth place: 8

points Fifth place: 4 points

 

3dmark03

First place: 20

points Second place: 16

points Third place: 12

points Fourth place: 8

points Fifth place: 4 points

 

Spi 32

First place: 20

points Second place: 16

points Third place: 12

points Fourth place: 8

points Fifth place: 4 points

 

So, who amount more points in all stages will be the 1st...second more points is 2nd...and so one...

We discuss here about it...because we see non sense to simply cut 15 best guys (why cut)... please let me understand how will be the points to second phase.

 

Thanks

1. Sp32m is simply cpu. Hence the low percentage (15%).

2. 3DM11 is the bonus round. Do well here and you get the extra points. MSI decided this is the Benchmark To WIN :)

3. 3DM03 is the combination of CPU and GPU (25%) goes to this.

 

There is sense to cut top15. Hence this is a competition.

We had it discussed and we couldn't get to a point so we preferred to open the discussion to the community.

 

I thought that it's one competition from the begging to its ends, just with one special thing to avoid sandbaggers that everybody should post scores until May 4th, from there only the best 15 will continue to be able to post new scores but the old scores continue being valid and the ranking would be the same like it was before.

 

We had this point of disagreement due to the competition points shown on the right bar, where says that the first place will get 20points and so on. That ranking being shown there made some of us think that before the May 4th points would be (60/25/15) and after that, a new contest would start between the top 15 where the scores would be that one on the right bar (20 for first place).

 

I just want to have anyone from the hwbot stuff clarifying the rules.

 

I know that its written there, but it's an americas' competition so the majority of allowed people to take place don't have English as native language and our educational system doesn't care about that at all. I think that a little explanation could let us really glad.

 

 

Thanks!

The point scheme remains the same throughout the competition; it doesn't matter when the best 3dmark11 score was posted, it will always get the full 60p.

 

After the elimination, only the best 15 overal ranked will be allowed to continue submitting results to the competition. This is to avoid sand-bagging until the very last minute.

 

The points on the right are indeed confusing and should be ignored/pulled.

 

Disable cores for the SP stage is allowed?

 

Yes.

How the hell I get the verification link on 3DMark03? I ran all test without Internet connection and while 3DMark11 give me the option to upload the file in another rig, I can't find that option on 3DMkar03...
