An overclocker's photo on GIGABYTE's webpage?

 

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

August 30, 2010 at 9:38:45 AM UTC

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

August 30, 2010 at 9:57:14 AM UTC

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.

August 30, 2010 at 1:31:26 PM UTC

hear hear....oh wait how many girls actually OC....

Clare you are looking pretty strong to take this one out with whatever you want hahahaha

August 30, 2010 at 2:02:02 PM UTC

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

 

Mister Beier, where are you? :D

August 31, 2010 at 7:17:42 AM UTC

Mister Beier, Where Are You? :D

Haha ... funny wordplay 1Day :D

 

Or not. Uh-oh.

August 31, 2010 at 3:46:31 PM UTC

Are ES allowed? Like that Any GPU you can be used.

September 1, 2010 at 7:30:27 AM UTC

Glad to see there's no brand limitation for VGAs :) ...but undoubtly if I try I won't play with more than 2 cards :(

September 1, 2010 at 10:35:14 AM UTC

No A0 rules, hmm... Ok ok, no super binning of retails then...

September 1, 2010 at 2:08:57 PM UTC

Hmm.3870X2 play?

September 1, 2010 at 2:18:16 PM UTC

Will Hicookie be in it? Retail only would be better..

September 1, 2010 at 2:19:36 PM UTC

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

September 1, 2010 at 3:27:37 PM UTC

What do you mean by cpu scaling? specifics?

September 2, 2010 at 2:23:53 AM UTC

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

September 2, 2010 at 2:58:02 PM UTC

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

September 3, 2010 at 1:19:57 AM UTC

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

September 3, 2010 at 8:42:17 AM UTC

i will compete only for fun in x1 category

September 6, 2010 at 2:41:02 PM UTC

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?

September 6, 2010 at 3:00:08 PM UTC

nah mate but will end of Sept for GOOC of course :)

September 6, 2010 at 3:00:30 PM UTC

Fuck.

September 6, 2010 at 3:08:31 PM UTC

who? :D

September 6, 2010 at 3:11:25 PM UTC

the universe and all its quarks.

September 6, 2010 at 3:23:07 PM UTC

massman, the co-inventor of b2b and universe rapist :D

September 6, 2010 at 3:25:28 PM UTC

I did not invent B2B; that was an illusion created by myself :(

September 7, 2010 at 5:39:42 AM UTC

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...

September 7, 2010 at 8:17:32 PM UTC

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..

September 8, 2010 at 1:06:47 PM UTC

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

September 8, 2010 at 1:19:53 PM UTC

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..

 

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.

September 8, 2010 at 1:47:08 PM UTC

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?

September 8, 2010 at 1:50:29 PM UTC

i didnt check thats what im saying :D

September 8, 2010 at 2:11:03 PM UTC

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...

September 9, 2010 at 2:31:32 AM UTC

nvm

September 15, 2010 at 7:01:23 PM UTC

it won't let me upload the "Saved benchmark run" file :(

September 30, 2010 at 4:57:09 AM UTC

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?

September 30, 2010 at 7:38:13 PM UTC

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.

September 30, 2010 at 11:30:47 PM UTC

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

October 1, 2010 at 7:57:59 AM UTC

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.

October 12, 2010 at 12:53:35 AM UTC

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

get a haircut ;-)

October 28, 2010 at 11:00:36 PM UTC

looks like chew wants his ugly mug on the site.........its getting interesting. let's see if rosty has backups cause i'm sure chew is

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 :)

October 30, 2010 at 11:24:05 AM UTC

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