3DM01 would not be a better choice than 3DM03?

I'm asking this because 3DM03 does not run on older Matrox cards like G450 (DX6.0) and it would basically limit the competition to Parhelia/Millenium only.

8 février 2017 websmile says:

This might be a problem, we will discuss this

15 février 2017 pipes says:

why don't work the competition link? redirected on an advise

15 février 2017 lanbonden says:

Is it still going to be Matrox card of choise in round3?

Cant access the competition site and got an (to expensive) auction ending this evening.

15 février 2017 websmile says:

I will leave this decision to Christian Ney. I cannot access the page myself btw and when I go from eocsprts site I get no content...Problem is known for a while but seems there is no solution so far

We will limit cards to DX8 capable or lower DX version, so we rule out all cards that are DX9 capable or higher, seems to be best solution to keep it cheap

15 février 2017 macsbeach98 says:

What limited to DX8 I have already got a M9140 for this and at the last second its not going to be allowed.

On this competition page it says in Bold any Matrox GPU.

OC eSports

I give up.

I might as well not compete at all.

15 février 2017 websmile says:

You can still discuss this with Christian Ney and Massman, I did propose dx9 and lower which wwould cover more cards. The main problem remains how we can keep cost low, for me this is a smaller problem because I do not have to buy 500 euro card^^

16 février 2017 macsbeach98 says:

Ok thanks Michael.

I sent Christian a message proposing that the C series be banned they are the expensive ones that no one will buy and have a Radeon GPU and GDDR5 memory.

I payed $80AU for my M9140 which isnt too much.

16 février 2017 ozzieRIP says:

this is like you cant use any other card than a geforce 7 series in the last round for RB, when it clearly does not say you cant use any other card, and using the "can be coupled with a geforce 7 series card" as the answer for an excuse for it is a poor excuse, it does not say in the limitation that no other card can not be used, for icestorm it clearly stated a geforce 7 series card to be used, therefore a submission for the RBENCH with another card of any kind is legitimite and a legal submission and SHOULD be allowed

this changing cards for the matrox is the same princple same as some intel cpu costs, if you cant buy the hardware then dont go on a whinge complaining about it and dont go in the competitions..its that simple ....the section stated any matrox card for this section, what about the people that have already spent the money and bought the card , already spent hours testing, modding, whatever with it...what do they do with it now ???, sell it ??? where, the stall down the street ? or smash it with a bloody hammer

16 février 2017 TAGG says:

Good that I waited... I thought about buying a parhelia 128MB, but also manged to talk a friend into letting me have one of the C680s they use for a week Now I can tell him, that i don't need the card anymore

16 février 2017 Christian Ney says:

I am pretty sure it was meant for "Old School" Matrox. I did not even know Matrox was still "making" 3D Graphics Cards, I thought they were only releasing 2D capable graphics cards.

It's incredible how little information there is about their graphics cards. Even on their own website they dont say anything about 3D. Except for the C-series they advertise DirectX 12.

DX9 and lower will that do?

EDIT: Looks like if we limit to DX9, the most recent cards will be the M series from 2008/2009. Lets do that.

16 février 2017 TASOS says:

Please dont forget , to change the wallpaper.

Those R1 and R2 markings were not followed as a rule in the earlier round.

I believe we need some actual more obvious change for the wallpaper.

Let's eliminate every chance of someone benching earlier than others.

16 février 2017 macsbeach98 says:

Thankyou Christian for the card Clarification.

I couldn't agree more about the wallpaper there were a few benchers that were using the Round 1 Wallpaper in Round 2 but to be fair to them the R2 was pretty obscure on it and they probably wouldnt of known there was a difference to the round 2 Wallpaper.

I ony noticed it because I put my GPUz CPUz Icons at the bottom left of the screen.

So if the R3 was a bit more larger and clear then no one could plead ignorance.

Reading that part about the R2 wallpaper, I finaly found the R2 marker, damn its well hidden and I must have blocked it in every screenshoot I used in round2..

Atleast I know where it is for round 3 now..

16 février 2017 TASOS says:

The R3 marking is nice hidden also.

I wouldnt had an argue about the wallpaper as long as everyone could leave clear and visible the screen area with the marking.

It can be done.

16 février 2017 websmile says:

I feel like Mr. Magoo when I search for "Rx" marking each round - will ask Pieter for a microscope for submission check, and a 4k monitor

16 février 2017 TASOS says:

A couple more little matters.

1)Descriptions on each stage needs editing.

In some say 3DMark 2001 and in others say 3DMark 2003

... and there is no Stage 4 for PCMark 04 , it's stage 3.

And a crucial matter cause i dont like "playing" with words.

Make crystal clear , that it's 478 cpu on 478 boards.

I dont like to play the adapters game.

16 février 2017 Stelaras says:

I don't have an issue with the adapters . It would be interesting to see which benchmarks can be helped .

16 février 2017 websmile says:

The round is limited to 478 cpus, when it was designed adapters were not ruled out. We had this before and it worked fine, whatÂ´s the difference now?

16 février 2017 macsbeach98 says:

I am for the adaptors

16 février 2017 pipes says:

this vga:Matrox C900 is allowed?

16 février 2017 websmile says:

No, only Dx9 cards, it is written here in the thread and also in the rules.

16 février 2017 Stelaras says:

Regarding this : Stage-1: Wprime 1024M (divided by core count)

S478 P4s have one core , but many of them have also HT . Please clarify if the score is divided by cores or by threads .

16 février 2017 TAGG says:

Normaly by core count means that the system divides the score by the number of cores specified in the database, just my interpretation, an official statement would be appreciated

16 février 2017 websmile says:

We handle this same way we handled it for lots of years now, physical cores count, HT is no physical core. If we wanted to divide by threads, we would have written it this way. After years and years we still need clarification? I am a bit surprised - I hope this is clear now, it is for sure better to ask then have problems if something is not clear for someone

16 février 2017 Alpi says:

Is there any multi-core s478 cpu ?

16 février 2017 websmile says:

No, but it is a standard phrase we use for nearly all competitions, and Mr.Paco explicitly allowed multi socket systems where aplicable, so we better prepare for all options^^

17 février 2017 Alpi says:

You are absolutely right ! I didn't think to multi socket.

I think it's a good decision from You ! Prefer overclocking, not finding special hardware. Thanks ! :ws:

18 février 2017 TASOS says:

What kind of compound they used in these Parhelia vga's ???

Is it a compound ? or is it cement ?

Never seen something similar.

IT DOESNT MOVE

I left it work to heat by itself ... no go

I heated it with a heat gun ... nothing

I've ordered a surgical thin razon , to try.

18 février 2017 TAGG says:

I know this is a round too early, but I can't find the Quadro 2 Pro, or is the Geforce 2 Pro the same card in the database?

If the Geforce 2 Pro is the same, is it allowed to use that card in Round 4 ?

18 février 2017 websmile says:

Round 4 is Geforce 2, quadro is not allowed

19 février 2017 Dead Things says:

No, only Dx9 cards, it is written here in the thread and also in the rules.

What about my Matrox SX-900? Allowed?

19 février 2017 websmile says:

Can it run crysis?

20 février 2017 Plasma Carrot says:

Round 4 is Geforce 2, quadro is not allowed

Why not the Quadro they are easier to find. I Have been looking here in the UK and there are no Ultra's, Pro's or Ti's.

Can we use OEM cards eg Dell, Gateway ETC.

21 février 2017 websmile says:

OEM cards are no problem, but no professional cards aka quadros. We had a quadro stage, should be enough, normally we do not allow workstation/server hardware at all

Had this on many old vgas. So far this worked like a charm:

Helloy everybody. For this round alowed adapter socket 478 to lga775? Thanks.

21 février 2017 Plasma Carrot says:

Yes could we clear this up as I've noticed a p35 chip in the WPrime rankings.

21 février 2017 Mr.Scott says:

Adapter is allowed. The restriction is the CPU has to be socket 478. I'm pretty sure this has been clarified a couple times already.

22 février 2017 Antinomy says:

Would be nice to clarify Socket 478B for the most badass of us

Because there's so many flavors of 478 most do not know about besides 478(M), 478(P), 478C (479). And there are dual-cores among those exotic ones.

Or I know a guy who can win a "socket 478" wPrime competition in a nutcase.

23 février 2017 TAGG says:

Managed to get one for â‚¬15, now it's time to get a G1 P4 because for some reason not one of my 18 Prescott CPUs were G1, all D0 or E0

23 février 2017 Aleslammer says:

I just picked one also.

23 février 2017 TAGG says:

It's alive

24 février 2017 TAGG says:

Is there any trick to PCMark04? Because I can't get it to run, it allways crashes on the website rendering part, either during inizialization or halfway through... I have tried fresh install of SP2 and SP3, do I need something older because the benchmark doesn't run on IE7?

24 février 2017 macsbeach98 says:

I am running SP3 with the standard IE6.

Not having any problems.

24 février 2017 TASOS says:

It's alive

I see you got a Bulk model , that has lower standard clocks.

It would be interesting to see if they will have anykind of difference in final overclocking with the retail models.

Who knows if they were binning back then ?

6 mars 2017 Plasma Carrot says:

Has PCMark04 got a RNG that the score is processed through before displaying as the scores seem to be all over the place. Extra 500 MHz on the core and F m=lower score :-{

Anyone else notice this.

6 mars 2017 Blutregen says:

Is anyone controlling the benches ? First and second place at PCMark04 with Socket 775-Boards said as Socket 478 - really ?

6 mars 2017 websmile says:

Adapters are allowed, it says 478 cpu and it was already confirmed here at the thread that like in lots of other round adapters are an option
