FTLAUDMAN Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 I am trying to submit a score for 3DMark "Ice Storm Extreme" but I am receiving the following error: "Validation error: A valid futuremark compare url is required if want to reach the 3DMark - Ice Storm Extreme Hall Of fame. As only 0 benchmark scores are better than you, you need to provide additional verification." I continue to receive the error when I remove the "www." from the URL. I successfully submitted two other 3DMark scores (one "Ice Storm" and one "Ice Storm Extreme") in the past 24 hours. Here's the link to my results on 3DMark: http://www.3dmark.com/is/905718 I'm afraid that I am very new to HWBot.org and I am unsure how to proceed. Any suggestions?

FTLAUDMAN Posted September 22, 2013 Author Share Posted September 22, 2013 Another detail: After the validation error page is returned, I fill out the missing values of the form again (the compare URL is not an available field) and then submit the form and I am taken to a page with a sad robot (404?).

FTLAUDMAN Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Thank you for the warm greetings. I resubmitted the 3DMark score and it worked! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FM_Jarnis Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 FYI: This result is invalid. Graphics Test 2 143816.8 No, I do not believe that you got 143816.8 fps in GT2. I believe it aborted the run (due to system instability) and benchmark incorrectly thought that the run completed and calculated the fps based on that. The result has been invalidated on 3dmark.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTLAUDMAN Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Bummer. I'm sorry. I bought 3DMark on a Steam sale, was encouraged when I was getting in the top 20 for 3x GPU rigs, and just trusted the results when it came back with a green "Valid Result" signal. This is my first gaming build ever - I really didn't mean to scam anyone. :-( Massman: How do I remove my 229k Ice Storm Extreme score now that 3DMark says it is invalid?

topdog Posted September 29, 2013 Share Posted September 29, 2013 I believe both these results are also bugged http://hwbot.org/submission/2428355_ftlaudman_3dmark___ice_storm_3x_radeon_hd_7970_268739_marks GT1 and GT2 too high http://hwbot.org/submission/2429399_ftlaudman_3dmark___ice_storm_3x_radeon_hd_7950_220783_marks GT2 too high Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FM_Jarnis Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 (edited) Investigating those at our end. If the 3dmark.com results turn into "invalid" we found them to be bogus. Stand by. Edit; Second of those showing completely bogus GT2 score, result is invalidated. Edit2; Yes, also the first result is conclusively checked to be bogus. Sorry. Dunno if the odd (7970 + 7950 in mixed crossfire) GPU config plays a part here. We really haven't tested on such a config.

FTLAUDMAN Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Thanks guys for removing those buggy results and not being harsh on me. Like you mentioned, I was running an MSI reference 7970 and two Sapphire 7950s (Dual-X) for those tests. Ultimately, I don't understand what caused those issues but I didn't mean for it to happen. Interestingly, it looks like the Ice Storm #6 submission on 3DMark also has a similar bugged result: http://www.3dmark.com/is/800500 as well as possibly the Ice Storm #5: http://www.3dmark.com/is/856688 and the #8: http://www.3dmark.com/is/636117 and the #10: http://www.3dmark.com/is/756750. If this is the case, then perhaps the bug that affected me is more widespread and not CrossFireX related. I benchmarked at lunch today with 3x 7950s (just in case) and scored a 208k on Ice Storm Extreme - which is currently the #1 on 3DMark for update 1.1. Can you do me a favor and review the results to make sure it doesn't look bugged (http://www.3dmark.com/is/943325)? It doesn't look lopsided to me but I'm the new guy. :-) Thanks again for your help. Aside from this bug issue I've been having fun with this new-found hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTLAUDMAN Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 I messed up my link with the symbols around it... This is my 208k Ice Storm Extreme link: http://www.3dmark.com/is/943325 For what it's worth - this was on a different hard drive with a fresh Windows 7 install (as compared to my previous, buggy results).
