HWBOT Team Cup 2016 - SC2: Modern Gen

Overclocking teams: prepare for the HWBOT Team Cup, the ultimate tournament in team-oriented overlocking. This edition pits dozens of teams against each other with a total of 30 stages that covers virtually every hardware category imaginable.

Running throughout the months of July, August, September the HWBOT Team Cup is surely the truest test of competitive team overclocking, requiring the broadest possible array of skill sets with overlockers invited to bench on everything from the latest Skylake and Haswell E platforms to legacy Intel and AMD platforms including stages devoted to DDR2 and DDR tweaking as well as two newly devised ‘Dogpile’ stages that require you to make as many submission as possible on as many CPUs as possible.

This year’s contest involves five separate challenges or sub-competitions as we refer to them, each with an historical epoch in mind. Contest categories include Current Generation, Modern, Legacy, Vintage and Dogpile. Let’s look at the stages in more detail regarding specific hardware limitations and benchmarks.

  • Stage 4: 3DMark06 2x GPU - K10 + HD 3000 (Average of 3 best GPUs)
  • Stage 5: 3DMark Vantage - K10 + HD 2000
  • Stage 6: CPU Frequency - AM2
  • Stage 7: Memory Clock - DDR2

SC4: Vintage (DDR1)

  • Stage 1: Wprime32 - NetBurst 478 (Average of 3 best GPUs)
  • Stage 2: Aquamark - NetBurst + GeForce 6000
  • Stage 3: SuperPi 1M - Mobile Intel w/DDR1
  • Stage 4: 3DMark05 - Socket 939 + Radeon R500 (Average of 3 best GPUs)
  • Stage 5: Cinebench2003 - Socket 754
  • Stage 6: 3DMark99 - Socket 462+GeForce 5000
  • Stage 7: Memory Clock - DDR1 (Average of 3 best scores)

SC5: Dogpile

  • Stage 1: HWBOT Prime - CPU must be different
  • Stage 2: 3DMark01 - GPUs must be different

As you can see from the list above, this year’s Team Cup is as mammoth as ever. Just to clarify a few things. The nomenclature (3S) indicates that the final team score will in fact be an average of the top three scores submitted. The ‘Dogpile’ round involves teams making as many submissions as possible with scores added together to make a total score. Only score per CPU/GPU allowed, so it’s all about digging out and scoring on as many different CPUs/GPUs as possible.

Just wondered if someone could have a look at this. Here's my sub http://hwbot.org/submission/3301897_johan45_unigine_heaven___xtreme_preset_radeon_hd_6950_1152.17_dx11_marks?recalculate=true

Tried from OC sports and HWBot but keeps telling me it's not terrascale2 but I see other 6950's in the mix

August 31, 2016 at 1:10:34 PM UTC

I will task Massman, I have a slight suspicion that it might be because card is unlocked and your team already has 6970 with 1536 shaders at ranking...

August 31, 2016 at 1:14:03 PM UTC

AFIK the card isn't unlocked. Look at the score it's terrible

August 31, 2016 at 1:17:04 PM UTC

If it is I didn't know, this is how I got it.

August 31, 2016 at 1:22:43 PM UTC

I just verified that the bios version is the same for the saphire 6950 here at TPU https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/?architecture=AMD&manufacturer=Sapphire&model=HD+6950&interface=&memType=&memSize=

September 1, 2016 at 11:16:22 AM UTC

We need to allow TeraScale 3 cards too, than you can submit again.

September 1, 2016 at 11:40:53 AM UTC

We cannot allow all terrascale cards because then we will change the stage - is it possible to just allow 6950 and 6970 again?

September 1, 2016 at 12:54:37 PM UTC

It's weird though that ONC has submissions with 6970 and 6950 with unlocked shaders, so it seemed to take their subs just fine. Could it be something else that's the issue?

September 1, 2016 at 1:12:35 PM UTC

I can tell you what happened, the curse of the good deed. Strunkenbold re-grouped the amd cards lately to make things easier for us all and also merge rebranded cards, this lead to change at database and because of this (6950 and 6970 is terascale3) you cannot submit. This has nothing to do with shaders unlocked or not

September 1, 2016 at 2:53:06 PM UTC

So the other submission was done before the "good deed" . So going forward will I be able to submit this one?

September 1, 2016 at 2:59:51 PM UTC

Lets just allow cards with cayman core instead of terascale 3 ;)

September 1, 2016 at 3:00:34 PM UTC

We have to find a solution, in worst case we have to add them manually, it would be inacceptable to change rules or pattern of hardware after two months imho. This can happen because we all need the fix Strunkenbold did, it will be big progress and I really approve this, but we cannot change stage because of this :)

September 1, 2016 at 5:04:15 PM UTC

Didn't it originally say HD 6000 and 5000? If anything Terascale 2 only rather than 2+3 is the (unintended) change after 2-ish months :P The 69xx cards weren't originally excluded.

September 1, 2016 at 5:09:35 PM UTC

Did I explain it this badly? So, once again,the AMD cards in database were re-grouped because the rebranded cards caused big trouble for users and staff. So Strunkenbold regrouped them by architecture, unfortunately this interfered with team cup that had already started. We will make an addon now to terrascale 2 so that 69xx will be included again, like Strunkenbold proposed Cayman core cards - problem solved :)

September 1, 2016 at 10:16:18 PM UTC

Thanks guys I appreciate it

September 2, 2016 at 5:19:22 PM UTC

Could that be the same reason my 7870 Pitcairn wasn't accepted for the SC1 stage5. Initially the stage said HD7000 but now that card is not in the list?

September 6, 2016 at 11:41:04 AM UTC

Just tried an updated file and it's still a no go. Won't accept the 6950

September 6, 2016 at 5:58:48 PM UTC

Well we have to go the hard way, adding all cards by core it seems.

September 11, 2016 at 7:14:43 PM UTC

It still won't accept it, I made my last run could someone add it to the competition for me?

http://hwbot.org/submission/3312581_

September 12, 2016 at 8:14:00 AM UTC

The issue should be solved now, Pieter added all cards by hand which was quite some work I think^^ - I added your submission to team cup and it is now listed :)

September 12, 2016 at 3:16:47 PM UTC

Thanks
