Nice clocking there! Congrats!

So, a RETAIL score is just valid if you do it on livestream to prove it? I mean, a lot of what you said over the last few days, was right, but sometimes you just pass the line! C'mon man, it's just overclocking! This is our hobby! We all like to bench and that's it! Don't start another discussion here! This score is just awesome, and i don't care if it done with ES or RETAIL! His screen shows RETAIL, so it is RETAIL to me! Enought said! Congrats again Andre! Wish i had 10% of you're skill! Well done!

So, you're goin to say that this is a cpu-z cheat? Why don't stop that now? What you need more? If you don't trust just a lill bit, what about all you're scores? Cheats as well???? This score is breathtaking! Awesome work!

LOL, another great score from a great overclocker! Let these numbers commin'! Congratulations man!

WTF!? Thats what i like to see! I rly hope that the ES BS stops now! Congrats man!

Rly hope you go for it man! You can do it!

1,32? That's it? Such a great card! And an awesome clocker! Go for WR!

Holy crap! Thats a massive GPU clock there! What VGPU?

Awesome clocks there! Well done!

You should not because there are no SB retail available? C'mon! Just to get you right: You think, using ES is the same as cheating/fakin scores????

Darn! Now you have to follow two threads for one toppic, someone should close this one!

You're suggestion about diff classes sound okay, no doubt. But it has nothing to do with the ES thing! Sure, i am dreaming about to reach the top 50 or above. Best result i had within 6 months of my overclocking escapades was #17 with a single card in 3Dmark06. That was a few days after the GT's hit the shelfs. But, to be honest: If one of the top guys had my setup, i am sure they had made a top 5 result with it. The top clockers don't get these samples for free! They need to work rly hard to get those kinda hw! You could not imagine, how lucky i felt with my #17 that day, even if it just was the only run b4 the GT died on me. To me it was like a world record, if you can follow me. If you would be able to get you're hand on an ES, i am pretty sure you would use it! I would! No doubt! As i said b4: Only thing, that needs to be changed, is to not give hw boints cause they dont fit the 980x specs.

Mate, i understand you're thinking. To ban ES hw may solve one issue, but it doesnt change a thing. Most of us are not capable to compete with the highrollers. They just would go and bin hundrets of retail chips or the manufactures will rebrand the hw. To ban ES just close a door, but it opens a couple of others.

go ahead!

Forgot something b4 about the GT ES chips: Only thing that need's to be changed, imo, is to not give hwboints in 2D rankings because they don't fit in the 980x ranking. Hollywood

Sure it is, no doubt. But to be honest; do you rly think, that you could compete with the top guys if you had the same hw? It's more than just the hw to take a top spot. Ladies, this is just hwbot. And i dont say that in a bad way. Benching and overclocking is a very big part in my life. But there is much more than just that. I'll try to give u another example: Take the Fermi slow cold bug. Some of the top clockers know how to handle it and take a huge advantage. Most of us dont know how to get rid of that. So, as most of us dont know how to manage big clocks with these cards, it should be banned? There are plenty of great retail GT's out there. To me, it doesnt make any diff: ES or retail binning. best regards Hollywood

That's so true! Btw, its not that easy to sit in the back of the rankings with no chance to get up. I have spend thousands of euros over the last month for my overclocking hobby. And that's what it is to me, a hobby. Two GT's died on me within a few weeks. Several mainboards and graficcards as well. It's not easy to effort the money for that, but i do, cause of the fun i have. If you had a racingteam, with superior tyre manufacture, wich gives u an advance of a sec per lap, and its within the rules, u would be mad if they would ban them. I dont care about that. Ppl like me, and there are thousands, bench just for fun. Fair or not, i would like to see the big numbers coming. I said in in my first post within this thread; i would not be able to compete with the guys on top. Even if i had ES hardware or not. And i rly thing that this counts for the most of benchers around the world. This is just what i think. If others think diff, its okay to me. To me, there is a bigger problem with cheating than with ES or non ES hardware. best regards

My vote goes for the first option. I rly don't mind if the top clockers, or anyone else, use ES hardware, cherry gfx or whatever. To me it looks like this: I like to see whats possible and what the top guys can manage with that kind of hw. I'll never be able to compete with the top guys. Even if i had plenty of ES hw. It's the skill, wich keeps the top guys up there, not just cherry hw. So, keep pushing the shit out of these kind of hardware! Hollywood

Awesome ride! Rly impressive!

Thats so sick! Well done man!

CW? no CW? anyway, well done buddy!

sick gpu! awesome ride!

well done!

Better the chip! Skill is the thing holding me back!
