Competition Benchmarks:
The competition is split in two parts. 2D and 3D. For the 2D part, there is only one benchmark: SuperPi 32M. And for the 3D stages, we will have a selection of 3DMark Fire Strike, Fire Strike Ultra and Fire Strike Extreme.
Point calculation as follow based on rank: 28, 26, 24, 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, 4, 2.
Cash prizes for the top ranked will be distributed as such: CNY $30,000 / $20,000 / $10,000
Day 1: Solo 2D and 3D Benching:
Day 1 involved the serious competitive stuff with cash prizes available for winners. 1st place won CNY $30,000, 2nd place CNY $20,000 and 3rd place won CNY $10,000. Benchmarks used as below:
- SuperPi 32M
- 3DMark Fire Strike
