Thanks guys, needs a bit more work.. Gotta try and see if I can get strat to post his back up.

I've never seen one where the futuremark link says that it's invalid due to LOD. We all use LOD, but I've never had that error, usually its time measurement that i get. From my understanding, any submission that is invalid on futuremark site isn't accepted, but rules are open to interpretation at times.

Nice clocks on the card, did you add caps to the back or had to move them over to clear the single stage?

i noticed, 3d11 was really bad too. It did 1600 before but was struggling this time, but need to dial in efficiency first.

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.

Thats a much better explanation than what the rules state. Got more questions and a bit of criticism. 1-The winning target is not really kept secret. Once someone has reached the target, it shows that they have hit it. The image below shows this. 2-Does this mean that everyone that hit the "secret" target will receive one point. As of now, it looks like 3 of us will receive 1 point for the 2 core stage. 4-If we continue to hit the secret target from every stage until the end. Will the winner be the person who hit the target first for stage 1? If the trend continues until the end, it looks like Paulie_AU was the first to hit 339.

killing me with the 8 core,

So to clarify, we are only trying to reach the targets. One of the two targets will be the real target, but scores in between don't really matter? Only hitting the target or closes to the target without going over/under is what matters? Use English version of windows or ask dancop. It seems he had this same issue and I think i remember something about him switching to an english version fixed it.

If we can't get removal of the requirement for a link, then I'd have to agree with this.

Think this happened a few weeks ago. Something about Ney being a Nazi or communist.

Amazing Joe, just amazing.

All these scores, just WOW

awesome job

Some of the old monthly competitions were fun. I miss them and we all know we need them competition points.

I'd have to agree

Some would say that regular fire strike shouldn't even have globals.

My initial thought was, do we have to complain about every scenario where someone has an edge on points because of one reason or another. After reading the arguments, I can sort of agree with it a bit. Some of argument two, where WR points take the spot of huge global points. I'd also like to think that rewarding the WR points on a 3d benchmark should actually be for a bench that doesn't rely mostly on cpu power but gpu clocks.

You need that 2kw psu

Very nice and I agree, catzilla site is junk. Few can upload, then many have same issues.

Thanks everyone. Mike- I don't know what it was. The last time that I tested it I only managed to get 1800 to run. The only thing I did different this time was to run a lot of voltage, used 2 psu, and unintentionally let it warm up a lot between runs. I even got about 1975 to pass gt's but I cold bugged it at the end. 2000 was a no go.

very nice hideo-san, seems 580 is coming back.

50k getting it done

Thanks, this one was hard modded. Was only lazy on the 4870x2

Thanks, vgpu was 1.35v. Max I could get with software.
