Rookie Rumble #47
Welcome to the Rookie Rumble! We assume you arrived here via XTU and that’s great but the OC world offers much more. The Rumble introduces you to the concept of competitive overclocking. It’s a contest only for new overclockers like you. Good luck!
There are three stages, each with the same hardware restrictions but featuring a different benchmark. The benchmarks are: XTU, HWBOT Prime, and GPUPI for CPU - 100M. You can gather points by submitting in each of the three stages. The better the result, the more points you acquire and the higher you'll rank overall! Note that the validation process for the benchmarks is slightly different. Check out the rules section to learn more or drop us a message on our forums if you have a question.
GPUPI for CPU 100M STAGE 3 : normally scores have to be divided by number of cores like Stage 1 and stage 2 ? It is not implemented yet in the contest for Stage 3 ?
Thanks
Dividing by core makes no sense on time based benchmarks, more cores are faster, if you divide by core you only enhance the advantage of eight core against quad core for example. The rumble is balanced so that sometimes more cores are better and sometimes dual core can win due to core division
