Top 20 clarificaton please :)

[K404]

From the rules "For Futuremark benchmarks (3DMark/PCMark): top 20 global (HOF) requires a valid FM ORB verification link"

 

Top 20 global isn't necessarily the same as FM HOF. Is it HWBot Top 20 global (e.g.... 2x/3x and 4x top 20 ALL need FM links) or just top 20 of the benchmark (ie...the scores with WR points)?

 

Thanks

afaik only top 20 of the benchmark worldwide. it doesn't matter if 2x/3x gpu etc.

[K404]

OK Thanks bro! Please can you 100% confirm when possible and let us know?

 

I always thought 1x GPU top 20 needed FM links, so I thought the same would apply to ALL top 20 rankings

I think we're discussing adding the same requirement to top 20 regardless of category (1x gpu, 2x gpu etc). Makes more sense that way, since the global points are also split by core count.

At the moment, are FM links only needed if the score has WR points? I *suspect* i'm seeing top-20 scores that FM wouldn't accept (top 20 1x/2x/3x but not enough to get WR points)

 

Christian....the thread you linked to is a year old. Poll made, fairly obvious & clear poll outcome.... no formal decision made for the rules as far as I can see?

 

I suppose that means that by default, the current rule is: only need FM for scores with WR points because benchers can't be penalised for an unclear rule, or have a change in the rules affect already-submitted scores.

 

I just answered my own question
