Since the last rule update the community has created more and more tool for 3D that let the user changes more and more voltages/clocks settings, especially on NVIDIA card. While this is good news for everyone it has caused some problem for how we moderate 3D scores.

The changes that we're going to implement are mostly temporary.... (hopefully UL finds a solution). Because we want to allow everyone to have greater control over their GPU without being punished for it, we will for now allow scores with the UL flag: This result is invalid as some system specifications appear to be modified in a way we cannot verify

Currently this can be caused by using a ECB mod or some of the new tools released by the community.

Because we don't want to create new rules everytime there's a new tool created by the community, video proof will be required for every score with this flag.

Video proof: full recording of the benchmark run with the screen clearly visible, the score must be within 0.25% ( about 100 points on port royal) of the final score uploaded.

Permanent changes to the 3D rules:

In addition to that a more permanent change will be the addition of a ECB box that you can check while uploading a score and we will also add Xbar clock section that MUST be filled when submitting a score when this clock is changed. This will be added to hwbot next week.

For users using Mvolt or any other tool that changes Xbar clock or any other clock that isn't monitored by the benchmark, the settings used during the benchmark run must be shown in the final screenshot.
