3Dmark demo incorrect time measurement-hardware?

[Guest]

Did a run of 3dmark firestrike demo while updating battlefront 3 in the background.

It said i couldnt submit because time accuracy was off. Not that I wanted to submit anyway. A quick google says it could be because of a program or motherboard clock not in sync.

PC runs other games fine, nothing overclocked except the graphics card which is factory OC. Is a 'off' mobo clock anything to worry about if the computer otherwise runs normally? I don't "know" what it is that caused it I'm just going off what I've read.

EDIT: ran skydiver with nothing else running. Valid result.

This is really not a problem. 3dmark uses the hardware time to measure your performance. (time taken) I heard once when windows 10 was still in the preview stages that its messed up the hardware time. Not sure is MS fixed it. Are you on windows 10?

Yeah I'm on Windows 10. I'm not so concerned about it now, skydiver registered valid.

probs nothing, as these things always seem to end up

Yeah I wouldn't worry about it as long as the windows time is correct.
