K404 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 Is it still the old wrapper we have to use for submissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaPaKaH Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) there is no official statement yet, so I guess so if you want to pull a K404 on yourself, you can start using the new wrapper hoping that one day it will get approved, bench 20 cards with it and wait for Lord Massman to say "no" Edited November 9, 2012 by TaPaKaH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanCutress Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Works great in all aspects so far, until I submit the file: Invalid data file: Unable to read Aquamark data file. Also, I got confused when the directory on the desktop used the AQ3 icon and initially couldn't find my screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate you can't submit the file yet, it uses a different format and we have to wait for Devroush to write his part of the code. Which OS have you been testing it on?

Old wrapper vs new vs none on same OS |or| 7 vs XP new wrapper halfed my score vs old wrapper on the same OS but i only run it once, i will give it another try a bit later on with both XP and 7 once i've got the chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 What would people think if I suggested that AM3 is closed to new submissions until the new wrapper is released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I.M.O.G. Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Hey Genieben, is your version of the wrapper still planned to be accepted? Any idea when? Thanks for your work on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeepBeep2 Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Does genieben's wrapper need .NET 4.0 too? The current wrapper doesn't install .NET 4 on XP for me so I can't use it...there is no .NET installer for 4 that is fully offline either AFAIK.

I.M.O.G. Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 No .net4 crap: http://hwbot.org/forum/showpost.php?p=207241&postcount=6 I'm pretty certain there is an offline installer for .net4. I never connect my benching rigs to the internet, so I know I got it loaded by USB in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENiEBEN Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Hey Genieben, is your version of the wrapper still planned to be accepted? I have to fix something but I won't be having proper time for it untill after Christmas. Does genieben's wrapper need .NET 4.0 too? The current wrapper doesn't install .NET 4 on XP for me so I can't use it...there is no .NET installer for 4 that is fully offline either AFAIK. - No dependencies. - There is 4.0 and 4.0CP, latter being used by 'old' wrapper. AFAIK 4.0CP does have a fully offline version BUT unlike previous versions of .NET it's doesn't bundle previous versions, so you need full 3.5 first. - There is a download link for current version that you can try.

I.M.O.G. Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 FYI Beepbeep2, the file I use to get .net4 on my benching rigs without any network connectivity is dotnetfx40_full_x86_x64. It is 49,268KB in size. Dunno if that helps you, but I don't do anything special to get it working. I do have the offline versions for the other .net installs as well, so maybe some things require those also. Dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Any news on a release date? (so people can upload old AM3 files while they're still valid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.M.O.G. Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) Found a workaround for the low score with old wrapper bug. Join Overclockers benching team to get it. I kid. Happy New Year... When the wrapper launches the benchmark it launches a couple additional tasks you can view in task manager. Set these additional tasks to one core affinity and low priority. Score through wrapper is then equal to running aquamark directly. Alt+Tab out of aquamark to enter task manager and apply affinity/priority on other tasks. Edited January 1, 2013 by I.M.O.G.

GENiEBEN Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 @K404. Wrapper itself works, it's all about sending the scores to the server now, hopefully it's done quick so I can move back to PCMark05. If you want to play it safe, don't sit on old scores too much. Found a workaround for the low score with old wrapper bug. Join Overclockers benching team to get it. It's the nature of .NET, last time I checked it used atleast 10 different assemblies, at some point it also unpacks another app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
