[/HR]
1. Download and install CPU-Z.

2. Download and install GPU-Z.

3. Click the download button to get the installation file of the benchmark you want to run.
21875


4. Click the rules button to read the rules for each benchmark.

5. Pay special attention to the Verification screenshot requirements and may sure all of those requirements are met when you take your final screenshot. If they’re not met, your result will be reported and possibly deleted. And all your hard work will have gone to waste.

Click Example screenshot to see what should be opened. The windows in red are obligatory. The green ones are optional.



PART 4: Running your first benchmark

1. For this example, we’ll run SuperPi 1M.

2. Setting up for the screenshot.




PART 5: Uploading your first benchmark

[/HR]

3. Fill out the form.
21881


4. Since this is your first submission, you’ll choose the Enter hardware manually option. Fill out all your hardware specs.

5. Upload the screenshot of your benchmark and the photos of your system. You do not need to enter a compare url unless you made the top 20. Or unless other benchmarks require you specifically to do so.

i learned it the hard way, also if you make a mistake like me, you can edit your result top right corner and correct it, for example, you submit a score ran with 1 Gpu but actually you have 2 you can change it.
