Novice Nimble #3

Welcome to the Novice Nimble! Via the Rookie Rumble you’re now familiar with competitions at HWBOT and OC-ESPORTS. Now it's time to learn about team work. Find an overclocking team, motivate two other Novices and enjoy the Novice Nimble!

There are five stages in the Novice Nimble. Each of the stages requires combining 3 scores to form a team average. The team with the best average gathers the most points. In addition to the benchmarks we know from the Rookie Rumble, you will also have to compete in two 3D stages. To win, you will need good overclocking skills but most importantly a strong and cohesive team. Check out the stage tabs to find out the hardware and benchmark requirements. Good luck!

Novice Nimble: How Does It Work?

The Novice Nimble is based on the concept of the Country Cup competition series. To move up the rankings, you need to improve your team’s best-of-three average in each stage. It is up to you and your team members to determine the best strategy. Our engine is not doing the work for you! So you need to find out who takes on which particular challenge in the stages.

As a general rule of thumb, it’s good to assign members to specific hardware for each stage. Individuals trying to compete with all the hardware are quite likely to block other users from contributing to the team average.

To explain how the average is formed we provide you the image below. You will find three different scenarios, each explaining a specific situation for each team:

  • In Scenario 1, three users from one team each submit scores with three different hardware items. The team average is based on these scores and all users are contributing. The team average is completed.
  • In Scenario 2, three users from one team each submit one result. Two use the same hardware. Only the top score is used for the team average, so the team average is not complete (2/3). In order for complete the team average, one user must submit using different hardware.
  • In Scenario 3, two users from one team submit respectively two and one results with two different types of hardware. In this case there are two options: in case one user has the best score with both hardware, the score of the second user is not taken into account. Then the team average requires two more submissions to complete. In case two, each user has the best score for a hardware item. In that case the team average only requires one more user with a different hardware to complete the team average.

So, you can run your uncore?cache at over 4500mhz but core has to be x45. This is not easily done on many MB's

Quick question: is the BCM2835 allowed for stage 3?

Team get rankings points on oc-esports : http://oc-esports.io/#!/rankings/esports_team ^^

 

But they aren't counted in global team points, neither user points.

 

You can still compete for fun !

If you're in for the points, you're doing it wrong.

I wont say , that i disagree with you.

But , lets just delete all points ... and see what happens.

 

 

Sure, now I understand why participants are fewer every time.

 

I predict that in the near future there will be 100 active members, 10 sponsors ( maybe ) and this will turn into a private club.

 

General thoughts. Nothing to do with the specific competition....

 

Hwbot isnt what it used to be.

Lost it's original spirit the last 2 years the most.

 

Anyone remember how it was back in the forum days with the bot tags ?

[bot] yeah [/bot]

 

It's obvious that the tend is to keep the 5-6 major hardware companies arround , along with their 10-20 superusers ... and who cares about the rest.

 

I strongly disagree about the "100 active members" part.

 

Honestly now.

This is no place for such a discussion.

It's been done before ...

My system GPUPi say it's error with win8.1 .So I use win7

 

You have to enable HPET in Win8 before you can use gpupi.

If you don't see the option in the App, you can always go to the submission page and click "Add to contest" in the sidebar.
