Last week we received 4212 benchmark results from 926 registered overclockers around the world. The majority of the submissions is coming from Rookie overclockers representing 56% of the active community. They were responsible for 42% of the submissions. We had a peek at the most valuable submissions in a breakdown per league.

The Most Valuable Submission is calculated by the sum of a submissions's World Record, Global, and Hardware points. The Top Hardware Points is taking into account only the Hardware Points of a submission.

The most valuable submission of the week comes from Bullshooter (Germany) who joins the elusive list of people hitting the XTU 2xCPU 742 points mark. The first to hit 743 points will break a lot of hearts In the Elite category we find Smoke topping the tables with a Global First Place in the 3DMark 1x GPU ranking with a GeForce GTX 980 Ti. Smoke is the second overclocker to breach the 300K mark with a single GPU graphics card. In this slow week, the rest of the table features solid but definitely not earth-shattering XTU submissions from BoTSkill (Romania) as Apprentice, Zeestraten.Alex (Netherlands) as Enthusiast, Pippinfort (United Kingdom) as Novice and PCMayville (United States) as Rookie.

The overclocking results submitted during Week 15 generated in total 295 World Record Points, 6174.6 Global Points, and 8620.8 Hardware Points. The distribution per League is as follows: 20% for Elite, 41% for Extreme, 8% for Apprentice, 13% for Enthusiast, 9% for Novice, and 18% for Rookie. The representation of the active community is as follows: 3% Elite, 9% Extreme, 4% Apprentice, 16% Enthusiast, 12% Novice, and 56% Rookie.
