Only PiFast v4.1 is allowed.

Lack of humor = bad Edit: You may have some sense of humor, but a bad taste ( like mine ) It's about Rev03 going down dude!

Not a bad idea at all

Actually it is quite possible. If not one man, 2 or 3 can. Assuming that the man/3men have awesome CPU's, they can buy the most popular and point-worthy hardware ( most of them come cheap, GF8 series, GF7, Radeon 1xxx ) and grind. A 6.4-6.5GHz 3D capable CPU can be your ticked to multiple HW categories domination.

They can see however if you used the same windows installation. But that's also inconclusive, because some people share various stuff including HDD's with win installations.

L666F666 more than likely

What the hell That sucks. Cyril was a good guy and a great host. Totally unexpected. Thanks for the good times Cyril R.I.P. bro.

One of the very few times that I can TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU SAM. Thanks! List of excuses: 1. Multiple choice poll: The staff or somebody can say that the poll results are a mixed bag. 2. We want to keep HW sharing to the minimum, so alt #1 is the best option in our eyes, hw sharing is barely beneficial for the team rankings, so it's all good ( we don't care about the individual rankings ) [ good money-making opportunity for the first guy to open a binned hardware leasing company ] 3. Only 200 ppl have voted Yes, we know that we could place the poll in HWbot's main page but it needs some serious coding. Oh and it wouldn't be any different, most people wouldn't pay any attention to it or vote. 4. We could also do it in a way which would require every single member to cast his vote simply by making it a mandatory poll, any user who hasn't cast his vote would get to a poll page to cast his vote, voting page won't go away and the user won't be able to submit any new results before he casts his vote. But that won't be ok again, because the Japanese & Chinese can't understand it as our beloved friend Pieter says. [ The Japanese & Chinese are very smart and good people, and somebody can translate the poll page to Japanese/Chinese/Mandarin & the rest for the ones who don't understand English well or at all ]

Marco, share some of your luck with the rest of the world please!

Setting AquaMark 3's priority in Windows XP for noobs, page 1: Open a CMD window Type CD C:\Program Files\AquaMark3folderpath [ press enter ] type aquamark.exe /realtime And you're a happy noob. you can add /affinity XX to set the affinity as well. wheres xx you need to enter the appropriate value depending on which cores you want AquaMark3 to use.

That's so nice of you. Reflects your personality, ethics and character PERFECTLY. When you grow up shoot me a PM.

4. Lifetime ban. So the next guy thinks twice about it before doing it.

Check your e-mail my trusty friend Deanzo.

Because you want it so much, hit me up on MSN now.

Trust me, I have all the proof you need. I won't spill the beans now though. If you want a hint, W3570

Don't discriminate people. That's a very bad idea.

I'm pretty sure at least some Team Pure members are and will be more angry at me anytime soon, but it's not my fault, I'm not the one who did stupid things. By the way, I have nothing against Pure as a team and of course nothing against Vince or some of their members, but I do have quite a lot of things against some of their members. Those who think that I'm working on a personal agenda, just wait & see. On topic now Hyperhorn... Three names ( maybe there's more to it, I need to do some more google-cache-digging & proof ): Andre, Nick, Jody.

With the current ranking system ( rev3 ) hardware sharing can easily be a competition killer. How ? Let's say that I have a golden 980X capable of benching all the 3D Marks & AquaMark @ 6.6GHz - 6.8GHz, and the 2D's @ 6.9GHz. Since I'm daydreaming allow me to say that I also happen to have a 1450MHz GPU / 1350MHz MEM GTX 480 graphics card. Put those 2 together and you have top3 places on any benchmark if you know how to overclock those & basically tweak the benchmarks. I do so. And then pass both my CPU & VGA ( or the whole setup since you have nothing against hardware sharing ) to 10 teammates of mine... There you go, me & my 9 buddies in the top 10, and a huge advantage for my team. Hardware sharing is kinda killed when it comes to team rankings with rev4, but the main issue with hardware sharing, the individual overclocker rankings remain untouched, people will continue to share their HW to get their personal account a higher rank.

What's the point of doing something that you don't really like and have fun doing ? "I bench for this", "we bench for that". Sadly the vast majority of people out there take their ranking & team ranking very seriously. And taking something that seriously is what makes the "weak" people bend or break the rules in any way. On that matter, I have some scores I can share, who wants some free points for his profile & team ?

Exactly. Score stealing should result in instant ban. No questions asked ( I mean in cases where we are 100% sure of who stole the score ).

Those were ES. Intel didn't release a retail or OEM G0 E2160 AFAIK.

G0 E2160's DO not exist though.

The 2xx.xx drivers have various changes, including an offset change for the LoD setting. Just like with the GPU & MEM overclock with previous releases, nVIDIA changed its "location". nVIDIA documented the change somewhere, can't find it though

Nope, it's DX-independent. Vantage has a forced LoD value if that's what you're trying to figure out
