GPU-Z and PowerColor Graphics Hardware Giveaway

[_JP_]

I have a question.

DirectX®9.0 compatible graphics adapter that has 32MB of memory and is fully DirectX®7.0 compliant

Does this mean that cards that are DX7 and DX8.1 compatible still work, or the DX9 compatibility is a "must have"?

i think it means some tests are DX9 and some are lower

[W1zzard]

you need to use a dx9 card because nature is a requirement

all game tests must be submitted to get a valid score anyway so that's a pointless rule according the the 3dmark results option page

[kohan69]

are multiple entries allowed?

[kohan69]

is an itx motherboard with atom allowed in the contest?
its not a laptop, tablet, or netbook, just an itx mobo...

i would try and run my phone but i have a feeling it will score to high.

[masikon]

nature test where can i see that? i just dl the free version and run the 3dmark but my results wont be updated since im using the oldest pc in the house lol btw 3dmark doesnt support the latest driver available for my old vid card i can still join using it or find another old thing that can work lmao?

[m&m's]

Do we care about the sounds tests?
And like kohan69 said: Do multiple entries allowed?

[Anis]

Are agp cards allowed for people who use motherboards with agp & pcie slots or only pcie cards?
if agp cards are allowed, then can i use my pentium 3 desktop pc for the contest ?

[W1zzard]

added: "12.The benchmark must have been made during the competition period and must have "PowerColor PIMP MY RIG 2011" in the title."

so that people don't reuse old benchmarks

[caleb]

So can I choke it do death with other software while it runs?

I have a problem just got 98 on 3dmark03 and it went throught all the tests but it wont show on the online score,it just shows one of the gpu test and the CPU one .... any idea of what is happening? thanks guys

[chriscross]

I tried uploading the results but Futuremark says:
"Processor is not recognized, Graphics driver is not approved."
does this matter? ( i use Intel Pentium G840 skt1155 and the latest nvidia driver)

[Cy4n1d3]

What about non approved graphic drivers? I guess the ones for 3DMark03 are not updated anymore and the approved ones don't support the 69xx series?
Results are valid but show "Your result has the following problem(s) and will not be shown for example on leaderboards:: Graphics driver is not approved."

[tanago]

some questions:
1.Are AGP cards allowed?
2.I must use the trial/demo version because i haven't bought the full program, is this allowed and does it include the needed tests?
3.Which tests I should run(if i buy the program) (some specified tests, all or just the default selected) ?
4.Can I upload the file to a file hosting service or i have to submit it to the Futuremark's site(thus buy the program) ?

i haven't submitted yet, i saved the result, but i have the window open.

I think it is possible to submit later right?

342 is my best so far... with all the tests returning results that is.

I did manage a 0, but nothing for results.

[joseaugusto1]

My lowest with the results showing up is 258 and lowest with just the first test showing up is 66

yeah, i think you can submit later the issue we are encountering is that when we submit our scores to the website some of the tests FPS rates wont show so we are not sure if those results are valid...
