3dmark 03 and 15k limit

What happend to the ORB?
I have scores that range from 14k to almost 17k but any score which is over 15k I can't publish, it doesn't matter how slow my card clocks are:D

Whats going on, can anybody else publish scores over 15k now?

OPP

15+ k hehe... maybe ORB needs recoding ??

hehehe neways congrats opp :)

Lardarse thinks it is to do with the null pixel shader options for nvidia cards giving cheat scores, so they have capped it.

Just have to wait till a patch it seems .. bit of a pain :(

Hi Eric,

same problem here:rolleyes:
with my Gainward 6800U 1.6 ram!!

Thats probably why, though I dunno why they cap it for the ATIs also heh.
Hi Tom, very curious, what clocks did your 6800 do under Cascade??

LardArse,

You know your number 1 score.
Are you saying if you try to upload the exact same score it comes up that you can't publish it?

OPP

Exactly what I've been saying, there is a new cap set.

lol you guys are to good for the benchmark

Nick (Worm) from Futuremark will be looking into it tomorrow when he gets to the office.

OPP

Great. Hopefully I will be able to publish my 15,3k score then..
OPP would you have to re run the tests or will they allow us to publish via the Project Manager?

Good question:)

I'll be doing new runs anyway, have to break the 17k mark myself:D

OPP

I remember the same 30k cap in 2001, our own OPP couldnt publish any scores over 29999 till they patched the orb. now we may be needing another patch soon for 40k :D

Looks like FUGGER has been able to publish a score above 15K.

Congrats, FUGGER. :toast:

Congrats to Opp and Fugger on getting up there .. :toast:

Nice work as always guys :D

Andy

Nice! :toast:

Did FM make the change just for you guys or all the XT owners?No changes to my project manager.

I had to resubmit the bench in order to publish it.

My prodject manager was still messed up. I had to upload the result again.

OPP

One thing funky though.
I did a 16700 and saved it just now. I went back and uploaded it and it said I could publish it but it was not FM approved:rolleyes:
This is the same driver I used a few hours back and got 16696, all approved:D

Strange stuff.

OPP

odd, it seems futuremark doesnt care about its own products, hmmm, shouldnt they have preemptively taken care of this? they act like its a big surprise

ow well, good luck OPP, and lardarse, and Tom H. in benching :thumbsup:

it looks like the orb is having problems publishing scores over 15k. sometimes they will publish but you get "non approved driver" I would email them to remedy this error

Nice sommerpicture:D

Yea little change, 5 years later and a bit more casual:D

Off topic, but sierra_bound , you have over 30 entries on pages 1 and 2 of the Orb , can you reduce them to say less than 2 ? :)

I'll never get off page 269 at this rate ;)

When searching, select "show one/top project from each user. And you'll get the true picture. I love how people "publish" 500 scores!!!
