Maybe this: http://www.amd-drivers.com/download-RadeonHD8670-graphics-driver-for-WindowsXP-32bit.html

May 7, 2016 at 6:05:11 PM UTC

I have already found the solution but thank you for the reply.

May 18, 2016 at 5:36:19 AM UTC

No Kaveri?

 

That makes me sad.....

May 19, 2016 at 9:31:10 AM UTC

This is indeed sad :'( - I already tasked @Massman because I simply can´t believe we ruled these out

 

Edit - fixed, thanks Pieter :) - if someone tests it, please let me know if all works for you

Woohoo!

 

I'll throw some scores up tomorrow for it and see how it goes :D

May 23, 2016 at 6:24:24 AM UTC

A10 7870k r7 integrated graphics card , is ok ?

May 23, 2016 at 9:34:19 AM UTC

Yes, this should work now :)

May 24, 2016 at 8:46:33 PM UTC

Kaveri/Godaveri is supported now, thanks Websmile and Massman! :D

May 27, 2016 at 11:55:35 AM UTC

If I understand correctly, the administration changed the conditions of participation is almost in the middle of the competition?..

May 27, 2016 at 6:44:48 PM UTC

Changing the rules is sucks!

May 27, 2016 at 7:08:29 PM UTC

What a f*ck?

Who change the rules in the middle of the competition???

May 27, 2016 at 7:24:25 PM UTC

No, we did not change the rules in the middle of the competition, we corrected a problem. The rules for hardware allowed are same as on round 1, but due to database obviously this did work different, AMD 7870K was intended to be allowed like on round 1 of this division where you could submit with it if you check. We only corrected this to be same cpu pattern after people made us notice this

May 27, 2016 at 7:34:21 PM UTC

Michael, seems to me that this is not entirely correct. Participants prepare for the competition of iron and had a certain sale-purchase subject to the rules. Now it turned out that it was in vain...

May 27, 2016 at 7:56:17 PM UTC

It is highly annoying and it is clear that it is our datbase and our mistake then, no doubt. But as said, if you check Round 1, you see that 5,6 and 7 plus kabini were allowed and database took the the results and added to the competition at listing we had. I can not say what exactly went wrong, we wanted exact same hardware restrictions we had at round 1 but it obviously turned out differently, no idea why. I was not in charge of planning of round 1, when I saw that 5,6 and 7 were submitted like it is logical for the "second tier" AMD division, I did planning for hwrestrictions to be exactly the same. It is not logical to rule out 78xx for example, if you see stuff like this in the future, ask immediately to avoid annoyance like now

May 27, 2016 at 8:47:53 PM UTC

I think that in this case it was necessary to make processors that do not fall under the stipulated rules, for example, in the bonus round. And the participants were not hurt, and the rules are made...

May 27, 2016 at 9:10:07 PM UTC

we want to keep a solid pattern for all rounds, so I fear we have to live with this now. Sorry, this was for sure not ideal, but we normally guarantee cpu group stays the same, we can add when new ones are launched, which might happen, but people also bought for round 1 and relied on this to be OK. Our bad for sure, sorry again, but I think this is best way we could handle and repair mistake :(

May 28, 2016 at 9:14:47 AM UTC

Okay. It does not make mistakes only one who does not work. Good luck ...

Stage V (pifast) seems to be broken somehow - after clicking on the submit button, this message shows up:

 

 

Oops. Something went wrong.

 

We could blame this on you but it`s most likely our crappy coding skills. You could try again or nudge our developpers for fixing this.

I'm having this error for trying to sub in any stages at the moment. Been going on for at least 4 hours+ from what I can see.

July 1, 2016 at 3:33:29 AM UTC

I think it's fair to say the top 3 earned this one

 

Awesome going guys

Does anybody know if windows 8.1 was legit for geekbench3 (stage2) ?

July 14, 2016 at 5:25:02 PM UTC

Pretty sure it"s not

July 14, 2016 at 6:12:23 PM UTC

Depends on the hardware used - skyfake is not hit by rtc bug, so use of all windows based OS is allowed on 1151 for geekbench

hmm, I see this is division V, I have doubts it is allowed on AMD, we recently wanted to discuss this

July 20, 2016 at 12:12:11 PM UTC

We are currently doing last tuning on round 3

Two questions, would you like 15h4, means x845 added? I ask this explicitly because I am not sure about availability worldwide and if you approve this, because of this I rather ask before making decision

Point 2, we have the option to keep it at IGP, or I made second option to use R2xx and HD7xxx series as discrete card. Is it time for a change or shall we let it remain the way it was at round2?

I need some feedback, of course final decision weill be done by staff, but I think we can only profitate from your opinion on this
