2.9 AMD SDK for GPUPI.
W7 x64
Try it.

Scotty really came through for us. I couldn't use the version he posted because I'm on Win 10. I used the only one that would work for my OS, v2.0 I think. Didn't do much if anything for the CPU test, but for the GPUPI IB for video cards, this driver is amazing. It "almost" felt like I was cheating... lol Site is dragging it's heels again, but I think that should give me a hardware gold cup.
EDIT: It reported my vid cards as RX 480s, but they are RX 580s.
Which version did you use where? 2.9.x doesn't seem to do anything on Win10. 3.0 is just a downloader, but the place it points to doesn't seem to exist any more. Between them I've still been unable to run gpupi cpu on my Win10/Skylake-X system.
I'm debating if there is a strategy to go for here for quick gains... for example, core frequency by CPU-Z is easy to do. Run it on every PC I have, even without much OC, that'll add up. Include XTU on the Intel systems, which is the vast majority, and easy points should roll in. When I have more time to go in depth, I can then separately focus on scoring high on a particular combo.
check wprime, hwbot prime, geekbench 3 ... these benchmarks will give you some "easy" points
A good way to make points that last is go bench old GPU's with fast recent CPU's on old 3d benchmarks which are now heavily CPU bound.
For Wprime run as admin that should work or install Xp/Vista
I do have plenty of older cards. They will have to be PCIe cards, not AGP or PCI cards. Hmmm, interesting idea. One that I can make use of too. Of course, I still have a couple computers that can do the older stuff too. LOL... I'm trying to not get back into this benching full time again. But, this winter it'll be cold and long. I plan on traveling a lot next summer, but I do have this winter. Gee honey, I have all these computers going to help keep the house warm. Why do you ask? Huh? Speak up, I can't hear you over all these fans.
Things seem to be slowly happening now I hit recalculate. Got my 2nd silver cup by doing a quick CPU-Z clock submission with my work laptop, although it was a bit tricky to get the peak turbo clock as that wasn't frequently reached.
I've looked further, and my team submission earlier I now think is invalid. I met the conditions for personal submissions, which don't require a screenshot. The comp submission does require the wallpaper screenshot, which I don't have, thus is invalid for that part. Can I clean up this mess? I don't see any obvious way to withdraw the submission from the team comp. The last resort would be to delete the submission and use the same data to submit it again. Or if we're not seriously competing in that as a team, I can just ignore it.

Is it too extreme to consider external video capture for less stable screenshot capture? So don't run it on the test machine at all, grab it over video cable. Can you tell, when I get into something, I *really* get into it!
I put the background on before I run the bench just to have one less think to worry about.
