They're on top sofos. But... hmm... maybe they'll move down to the 2nd place in 4 hours or so

The same method applies. Use Device Manager ( nVIDIA GTX xxx -> Properties -> Details -> Device Instance ID, the number you're looking for is the number XXXX at PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_XXXX ) or Everest Ultimate or SiSoft Sandra to find the Device ID and add it to rivatuner.cfg in the same way Fermi = XXXX-06FF

Hiding the core/thread count on purpose to hide from the others that you're running 6c/6t to keep the "best 2 core set" gives better scores from other clockers ? :thumbsdown:

The SR-2 is not in mint condition, FAIL

Don't hold your breath yet, there are more "news" to come about more people Stay tuned

Actually Nick is another cheater ( at least in terms of breaking HWbot's rules about score sharing and hardware sharing [ CPU for 2D ] ). So much for the champ

It's not funny. But I prefer "killing" Nick here

Congratulations to everyone except Nick

That doesn't change the facts.

We'll just let NickShih enjoy winning his last competition on HWbot for the following 12 months

Sam has cheated before. Sam always appears with those crazy lucky gem hardware ( very close to impossible and unbelievable stuff ) like a mobo with which all the overclockers couldn't get past 500MHz FSB, Sam comes out with 670MHz FSB. This time Sam posted a score with settings that none of the H55 mobos the rest contest entrants couldn't work with not boot with and complete a 32M run to begin with. tREF is also out of range in his pic... a bug. The question is, is everybody here a noob who can't get the proper settings for this specific mobo to work at such settings, or Sam is doing his thing.... once again ? All I know is that everytime somebody asked Sam for some kind of proof he always claimed not to have the hardware at his hands at the given time, or just ignored the request. Last but not least, Sam worked his a$s off yesterday and made 2 videos with proof for his run... NOT! He took 2 vids of gigabyte hating, hitting a board with a rock, setting another one on fire, etc. Don't ask me for the links, I don't have them here

Catch me on MSN/AIM/FaceBook and I'll show you

<== Selling a custom coded SuperPi 1.5 XS Mod-look-alike program with preconfigured run display support for "video-proofing" Write the desired time in a txt file, open the program, run 32M and watch it work

Another bug that happens only to 1 person ? I like this So... when are the rest OCX team members planning to come here ( big fan of Predator here ) to post "Sam is great, he's not cheating, you are noobs" as per case #69 ( OPB ® ) ?

Questionable scores by Sam OPB ? no way!

Congrats Kal, that's a great accomplishment there and pure dedication to the OC "sport" :-)

Let them do their thing, "jtchen" will be a thing of the past in a few days ( gotta get my domain back up lol )

RivaTuner works fine with all the 1xx.xx drivers ( after you add the GTX470 device ID in RivaTuner.cfg ). nVIDIA changed the LoD key address with the new 2xx.xx drivers, we need to find the address and change the LoD manually ( or simply create a simple program to change it with ). Somebody said nVIDIA listed those in an article regarding the new drivers & AA mode @ nVIDIA's developers zone ( developer.nvidia.com ) but I can't seem to find it

8800GT comp FTW

Just submerge the whole rig in vaseline

I tend to disagree because I have proof that recommends otherwise ( Andre's chips & himself benching, just accompanied by you )

Now how nice it would be if I received a GA-EX58-UD9 sample with this CPU in the socket instead of the silly plastic cap

I thought you always had the best CPUs, RAMs, MOBOs

You know which OS you need to run if you do your homework and test various drivers & OS's with each bench for each card before you go fill up your dewars and go out bragging "I show you scores"...
