There is an mistake into the submission page - instead of Geekbench3 - Multi Core it is accepted as 3DMark Vantage - Performance.

Hay fgi

You might want to check your sub on stage 5? your memory tab is not open. Just a heads up.

December 15, 2015 at 1:26:35 PM UTC

there is an issue; if I try to submit a score for the stage #5 (Multicore Geekbench3, target score 20000) it appear "Please run 3DMark Vantage - Performance now at default settings. If you need more info, read more about 3DMark Vantage - Performance here (opens in a new window)."

December 15, 2015 at 1:38:36 PM UTC

@Massman

 

Why my submission has been deleted?

I notified the encountered problem to submit my score in the stage no.5 and now my sub has been deleted;

the only way to submit at that time was as "3dm Vantage", I don't want Vantage point, only Geekbench as well

 

there is an issue; if I try to submit a score for the stage #5 (Multicore Geekbench3, target score 20000) it appear "Please run 3DMark Vantage - Performance now at default settings. If you need more info, read more about 3DMark Vantage - Performance here (opens in a new window)."
