  1. I wonder if those predator sticks are afr, if so it would be a nice price. If they are I would definitely grab them now, do you know how long ago you bought them?

     

    Are you taking a break from benching or are you back now.

    They're probably mfr, I bought them a long time ago and have never been used. What a waste of money.

  3. VGA expenditures is causing a rift in 2d vs 3d.

     

     

    One important point is also that Nvidia is locking the cards. There are not many users who like to epower a 1000$ card or solder on these. Much easier to play with a K-CPU and a Board with a nice BIOS.

     

    I would have to agree with both allen and roman. No competition in these rankings is mainly because of the price. Dropping $1k on a 980ti or modding a $1k titan is a lot of money. Even when they were $700-800 it was a lot but it keeps going up.

     

    I see the lack of "reward" in terms of points is a direct result of the costs involved. If one were to look at the top of the leaderboards for single vga 3d (consisting of 980ti, titanx, etc), the only competition around is that which comes from vendors or people working closely with the vendors. The average enthusiast just doesn't have the means to compete.

     

    On the other hand, 2d is more affordable and thus more submissions. You get a boost in points for those same guys working alongside the vendors or those who are working for the vendors.

  4. but the rules still confusing me sorry. so you have to reach an exact target score which is secret until you dont hit it, so basically we just blind shooting the scores within the range and hope you will hit the bulls eye? what is the tweak in that?

     

    there is no skill to it, it's like guessing a random number. But the more times you try, the better your odds. This sure seems like it's going to be a popular competition. We'll have hundreds of submissions by the end. Probably really good for some PR or marketing purposes.
