18 pts sofos1990

Alright fellas, UP7 on the line for some 3D01 LCC and all out SuperPi 32M

Ohhh this looks like it will be really fun!

Let the Sandbagging begin!!

Speaking of which... When does the competition end?

Ends on 30th Sept!

Nice one again from gigabyte...

Not mentioned anywhere in the rules, so asking for clarity though for sure know the answer, "Gigabyte Only?"

Only use motherboard manufacturered by GIGABYTE.

Yes.

Ah now I see, I did not go into the stage links,

oooh so winning GPU for that catagory will be like HD 5870 or something?

There is one more (BIG) twist for those that perhaps were thinking of entering but werent sure if they would

oooh so winning GPU for that catagory will be like HD 5870 or something?

ive done some calculations so it should be similar between nvidia and ati, only issue with this is that it was compared with whatever is on database atm which is not a lot so who knows how it will turn out

time to try them all or try whatever you have lol

interesting about the nature cap... you can change gpu freq between runs though.

do what you like

i hope what i have in mind will work lol!

is youngpro gonna enter? does he want his UP7 now or later ? ^^

no you cant use both ATI and Nvidia LOL in one rig to get the Nvidia nature and ATi subtests hehe

Any limit to number of gpus used?

or is it limited to single gpu

the Lucky Draw, is it once per week or only ONE for the challenge?

seems pretty fun, gonna try it out since not much school work in the first week of class

I think I will switch to UD3 for this one

Single GPU guys

Lucky draw is one board for the overall comp submissions

Participate in the comp, you will learn a lot about LCC and efficiency benching and you might even score a UP7

Wait ... two Z77X-UP7 boards?

:D:D

Nice one that but till end of September i will be in Taipei

And win for second time let some other do it :D

O it will be more interesting with default VGA clocks for 01

Cool contest! Really a cool september initiative from gigabyte <3

that's why im doing it... to learn that is

happy benching everyone!

to bad ill never buy another gigubutt mb... lol looks like fun

interesting.... doesn't seem to scale with gpu speed at all when locked to 5.0ghz. this will be all tuning it seems... may switch to ati as tests may be higher with nature cap

Interesting comp, i just have a gigabyte SOC 560ti and a hd7950, lets see what they can do, this will be a good challenge to learn about 3d01

Best regards from venezuela

This is a good number to start with 01

Nature limitation at 1340.99 fps

heheh

Sorry guys i didn't see that but anyway no problem at all

good score aris! if you look at my screen shot, the gpu freq is where nature cap is at. it will save you some time

don't have a GPU to do anything lol

gonna stop my chemistry department and see if i can get some LN2

spent 4 hours last night on 01.... now pinning my hopes on lucky draw

Great going so far guys, keep at it!

Remember, the more you submit, the more entries into the lucky draw!

one question....You must use the processor less that 5000mhz or this limitation is only for 3dmark 01?!

its just the limitation for 3dmark01. for the 32m stage, you can use whatever frequency you want.

can't seem to push the chip any higher than 5.0 even with water

what is stopping people is integrity.... that and "expected" results. if you go over 5.0 its fairly easy to spot.

as far as downclocking for nature... its best to do on the GPU.

Processor speed is limited to 5000.00 MHz.

Sam you dutch nitpicker

*turns up the heat a little*

Man, Gyrock is pushing hard on 01, has me worried... i really want that ud7!

lucky draw chance is going to be pretty good, 1/15 so far right.......

When do you suppose the rest of the entries will come in?

hopefully... never?

one Sub Mission Reads 5000.1 In Cpuz

Ban Time

well just a few more days now guys, good luck hope the best.

I'll be going home with some LN2 this weekend

I think its time to LN2 the GPU... was hoping i wouldnt have to do it but oh well :-/

one sub mission reads 5000.1 in cpuz

Link?

I tried to find the submission with 5000.1 you were talking about, but couldn't find it. Can you please provide the link?

It was likely mine. pwned by .03Mhz x 50 doh!.

Is 119k possible? Can someone check the submission of a Chinese guy?

We're on it already.

someone has some explaining to do

just getting to 116k is a chore. when that 119k popped up I thought to myself "balderdash!"

yes, i actually said balderdash...

im tired of playing the slot machine for hours, time to concentrate on 32m... only 1 day left!

got tired of tweaking and trying lol

good luck a few hrs left

come on lucky draw!

Hoping i am luckier in the draw than i was with my 3570k!

maybe first recalculate rankign;)

the more random posts i have, the more chances at LUCKY DRAW!!!!

come on LUCKY DRAW!

when will they be picking the lucky draw?

no idea....

TUNA SALAD!

Good scores, boys!

I'll contact gigabyte with the winner info today!

hey boys, great job there. GTX280 came out on top with some cracker efficiency (too bad it doesnt have legs on 580 any more)

Hey Davis, You are the fastest GTX580 runner. Excellent work. Looking at my old notes you are looking real good now to bench 01 all out man!

thanks dino, i appreciate it

i would go all out 580... problem is, no gpu pot atm. a friend of mine is mailing back my slim, but that wont cut it for 580.

come on lucky draw!

you need a fat pot for sure man

Come on lucky draw to Zen-san's place

Lucky draw went to Redmax for this subission: http://hwbot.org/submission/2314285.

Enjoy, Redmax!

unlucky... should have thrown a couple of 8's in there

Gratz Redmax!!

hey Massman what about recalculate ranking? was strange situation here we ranking was closed but submision was still open for 2h.

Congrats Redmax!

congrats redmax, gotta be in it to win it right

Gratz Redmax!!

Oh, wasn't aware of that.

Just updated the ranking, Sofos1990 still first but Stelaras is now second.

Which 8 points ?

//edit: oh, I see now. Trying to fix it.

Oh, wasn't aware of that.

i guess this means that i wasnt counted in the lucky draw

double unlucky

i guess this means that i wasnt counted in the lucky draw

 

double unlucky

No, all scores were included in the lucky draw

No, all scores were included in the lucky draw

so.... then 1st place had the chance of winning a 2nd ud7? I find this strange.

If you can, relay the algorithm used for randomization and picking the winner... in the form of song and dance please.

(fyi, I believe you, I just want to see the massman dance)

congrats Redmax, and all the winners

Yes, and reported it as bug. I would want to fix it, but I don't have any tools to manually retrigger UCP to be recalculated

What's the mistake ?

Lucky draw went to Redmax for this subission: http://hwbot.org/submission/2314285.

 

Enjoy, Redmax!

W00t!! This is pretty darn awesome.

No info on the prizes here too.

The competition points seems to be something that is same for all the users

i send another email to follow up. last time i heard they put the orders through the system for the parts but maybe there was a little hiccup somewhere...

dinos22

Heard back from HQ. Samples were applied from factory and not all have arrived which is what's delaying it. I was told all should arrive this week. I'll let you know when they get sent out.

Btw, Redmax gave up his UP7 lucky draw prize because Gigabyte USA was already going to send him one for review. Awesome spirit!

Re-did the lucky draw aaaand ... -> GIPrice (http://hwbot.org/submission/2313481)

Thanks Dinos!

Just received the email from GBT
