xsuperbgx Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Could I get clarification? Is screenshot required when futuremark link is given? If so, at what date did that take effect? I/E: after which date are submissions required to have screensot wth 2x cpuz, gpuz and details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riska Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Yes it is requird And that have been a rule for alot of time now several years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der8auer Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 No, the screenshot is not required if a Futuremark link is available! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I thought every result MUST have a screenshot? "2.1. General verification rules Underneath you will find the links to all the different benchmarks, which contain the specific rules for each benchmark. Read them through and you’ll find them to be very easy to remember. In fact, most of you will only have to pay attention to one or two rules, because the other rules are so obvious. In general: For Futuremark benchmarks (3DMark/PCMark): top 20 global (HOF) requires a valid FM ORB verification link For CPU-Z: only valid verification links All benchmarks require a validation screenshot, unless specified otherwise" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Scott Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 No, the screenshot is not required if a Futuremark link is available! Not true my friend. Kenny is correct. Especially for PCM05 where the result txt is required in case FM decides to drop support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der8auer Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Yes the screenshot is required for PCM05 but for the 3DMarks it should be fine if the link is available. edit: Just an example: http://hwbot.org/submission/994172_kingpin_3dmark_vantage___performance_2x_geforce_gtx_480_50992_marks Vince always just posted the verification link in the past and it was always fine. He is the only one I remember doing that Result is 3 years old tho. I could be wrong tho. Not 100% sure at the moment to be honest. edit2: In the past it was written like that: have a valid screenshot (see example below): clearly show 3Dmark score, 3Dmark subtest scores, 3Dmark settings, processor in CPU-Z, videocard in GPU-Z, unless if you provide a futuremark orb link I agree on the "All benchmarks require a validation screenshot" part but does it still apply if the link is available?

Mr.Scott Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Is it not better to have than to have not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der8auer Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Sure I just need the clarification as well because there are often reports due to missing screenshots but the link is available. I always approve them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Turrican Posted June 30, 2013 Crew Share Posted June 30, 2013 afaik a screenshot is always mandatory. in addition a fm-link is a must for top 20 worldwide (hof). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der8auer Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Yes and that's weird isn't it? The FM-Link has a higher value as it's only mandatory for the top 20 and it "approves the screenshot" but it's not valid without a screenshot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Don_Dan Posted June 30, 2013 Crew Share Posted June 30, 2013 I just need the clarification as well because there are often reports due to missing screenshots but the link is available. I always approve them Oooops, I might have blocked a result without screenshot yesterday... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
der8auer Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 The moderation guidelines say that we can approve scores even if the verification is not 100% correct as long as it's not suspicious or a highly ranked wr run. the question is whether we accept results which have a link but no screenshot. I'm fine with both ways but we have to judge the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janus67 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Interested in this as well (likely for the same reason as xsuperbgx). One issue that has popped up though is it looks like futuremark has changed (or deleted/removed?) the old submission links so some submissions with only links from 3dMark05 in 2008 (for example) no longer work.

Massman Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Just to clarify, since November 1st (link) "it is mandatory to accompany every score submission with a verification screenshot. This screenshot must suffice to the specific verification requirements of each benchmark. One exception: for CPU-Z validations, a screenshot is not necessary" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knopflerbruce Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I guess refclock/mem freq are also exceptions to the screenshot rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobnova Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I guess refclock/mem freq are also exceptions to the screenshot rule. XTU too I guess. 2x WR has no SS. #2 4x has no SS. Most of them have no SS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 Correct, All benchmarks that submit directly to HWBOT are excluded from that rule. Includes XTU, HWBOTPrime, etc. Also exempt are CPUZ based benchmarks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobnova Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Correct, All benchmarks that submit directly to HWBOT are excluded from that rule. Includes XTU, HWBOTPrime, etc. Also exempt are CPUZ based benchmarks. That include Heaven? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yes, as Heaven requires only a datafile. It just happens that the process of creating a datafile includes a valid screenshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobnova Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Lol, a screenshot certainly. I expect someone could manage to put an invalid one into it Thanks for the answers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 The file should be secure enough not to be able to put an invalid screenshot into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobnova Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 What I mean is, you still have to arrange the GPUz/CPUz windows manually, you can cover things I expect. Unless the wrapper got a lot snazzier since I last looked anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knopflerbruce Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Yep, same thing appløies to HWBot prime, Multicore Linpack and Multicore Pi. You can use whatever tab you like in CPUZ, and place it everywhere, including over the score field. For HWBot Prime the "save" box covers the score. It's still included in the file, so not sure how important it really is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobnova Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Interesting, nice to know HWBot's moving into the future and away from MSPaintable SS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
