Submitting A Score
A guide by Raymo
This guide covers what you need to do in order to get your Forum Wars scores submitted. Each competing forum should have set up a scoring thread in time for the start of the competition, which forum cops will use to submit scores into the online database.
There are a few things you should do in preparation before running any benchmarks:
- Sign up for an account at Futuremark's ORB
- Keep a link to an image hosting service handy for your verification URL's necessary for hwbot submissions, for example imageshack or photobucket.
Once you have run your benckmark programs and are ready to submit your scores, you will need to make a post in your home forum's scoring thread. Your post should adopt the format of the example below:
- Raymo - TRP
- QX9650 (3.00... @ 3000mhz)
- HD 3870 X2 (single)
- DDR2 6400
- No Crossfire
- Water cooled

Tips:
For Futuremark ORB Submissions
Please remember to change your benchmark title or description to identify your player name and forum. Also remember to make results public so you can use the compare link for validation. Refer to the sample below:
Super Pi (screenshot submissions)
As we already know, version 1.5 must be used and again it needs two CPU-Z screenshots, with the second one being the mem tab & a Timestamp. This shouldn't big deal, as a large number who will take part in Forum Wars should hopefully be doing it already.
wPrime (submissions)
A screenshot can be used or posting an hwbot link works just as well. Version 1.55 must be used.
A screenshot must show: the wPrime box and two CPU-Z screenshots, with the second one having the memory tab open & a Timestamp.
