An overclocker's photo on GIGABYTE's webpage?

 

Maybe it's time for a girls-only limitation :D

so basically, you're looking for a man in pink strings who will run some 3D benchmarks with his handpicked 980X and GTX480, right ?

Sam but it fits to the gigabyte style with all those babyblue and white, a touch of pink could give the last piece of perfection.

Then we will have to settle with anything that comes close to a girl.

donno about cookie but im gonna play for fun but probably just single GPU category as im not a rich man...cant afford 4x 480s :D

 

have you guys actually tested CPU scaling............maybe try it...i think some of you are in for a surprise hehehe

What do you mean by cpu scaling? specifics?

check my two runs 1131.5 and 1131.85 points and see what CPU clocks i was at from one to the other

Aha, got ya :D So 350MHz increase yields only 0.35 DX11 Marks more, right? ;)

i suggest you install prime on your machine during benching as the CPU temps dip below ambient when you fire the bench up :D

 

What else are OCA guys going to whine about now I wonder :D

i will compete only for fun in x1 category

dinos22, whining is what I do best... :P , For some reason I thought the comp was for a different benchmark.. Are you going to be in Taipei this week?

Man.. you guys are tools... lol...

 

Dinos, sucks you won't be there... Damn gigabyte guys... lol...

 

Mass, looks like you and I are going to have a beer for dino...

Dinos, Did you ever test p55 ud7 for 3d.. I have one of those.. think i might participate then... I wonder how a 5.5ghz 670 will stack up scaling wise..

Dinos22
Dinos22

you know what's fun about overclocking for me > finding info like that out ;) and not getting it served for me on a silver platter :D

I had a system running with ye old P55-UD6 and a GTX48. I did notice some scaling from 3G to 4.3G CPU ... but not that much.

Think it can match a 980x? Lost another yesterday.. wasn't a good chip anyway

 

down to a 5 core 980x and really crappy chip..... Ill have to play around... since Dinos2 wont give me the silver platter... maybe a bronze platter?

Dinos22
Dinos22

i didnt check thats what im saying :D

steponz
steponz

No worries... Ill have to play with the 670 to see if it makes any difference... Would be good to know, then more benchers can participate...

hey M-ass-man

 

can you please clarify for the crowds what HWBOT's official stance is towards Unigine benchmark and gain that some overclockers are getting from downclocking bclock and PCie?

 

is it allowed or not allowed?

G H Z

What you wanna ban down clocking? That's pretty silly...if a bench does better on certain settings so be it, you just gotta find out the sweet spots for your rig.

Dinos22
Dinos22

me? no man i am asking for massman to just give an OK if its fine since Petri banned it in another post while massman didnt while we were in Taipei

 

two different messages are confusing people

Massman
Massman

In Taipei I was just contemplating on the topic of downclocking being beneficial and whether that's just part of the game or a big flaw in the software.

 

Since I'm back in the office, I can finally run the tests myself. This weekend that is.

Might I just add that I'm not at all surprised to see a dane doing his best to be crowned Paris Hilton? :D

I could say that the DX11 Heaven benchmark, apart from drivers and 3D clocks, likes the L3! have you also seen that?

I used a X2 250 and X2 550 and i saw a 5% difference!

Moreover i see that it is the only benchmark that you don't need to have an INTEL system :)

I didn't know I had to save a validation file (doh!)....so I'll just put these here. :)
