1,589MHz 9-9-9-24 on s.1366 with air cooling...yeah, right

You both don't play fair, my card can only run 756MHz gpu Well, without hard voltmod yet, but will do it soon.

Excellent work. Your gpu is good, too

Qimonda, yes. MVDDC and MVDDQ around 1.68V. VGPU ~1.5V.

We did the same mistake for the CountryCup - 116MHz on Maximus V Formula, several screenshot, but it turned out the validation was made with cpu-z 1.60, sigh...

Message says 1.61.3+. Guess you've tried to upload a validation file done with version < 1.61

Absolutely no problems with Maximus V Formula and MVG before it. I had it also working for some hours in this condition. It had been flawless for now. I only use art eraser, neoprene and paper towels. Some of my boards are insulated with liquid tape on the back, but not this one.

Normally a trimmer between phase and fb pins, instead of fb - gnd.

Yes, it is. You need ~300-400MHz to compensate the bad performance.

Yep, I can add a few words about this. On top of that LN2 suppliers don't work during holidays and we all were at work during the day/night. Some of us were working even during the official holidays. We barely managed to organize some bench sessions with all of us present. And ofcourse LN2 is never enough . Our familes definitely were not happy for our absense... Otherwise, it was interesting, however I'd love to see some Ati stuff next time .

Yeah, I used brute-force Vista or 7 would give me higher score. I will rerun it in the future and I have a second identical card. You could probably try an external VRM . If it's a bad memory chip, just search for another card (from my experience Sapphire with the dual slot cooler similar to 7900GTX is good)... However I think they are rare, have 2 of these

Vista is better, I just had my Vista install corrupted during the bench session, that's why my score is done on XP. Very nice GPU clock indeed! Push mem higher if possible and you will get some more spots up.

300 no, but 1000 - 2000. Other cores don't clock so well and even if more efficient than the first one, the difference in the frequency can't justify it. Will try it some other time, when I'm not in a hurry .

Congrats to Greece, great scores and consistency across all stages.Poland and Indonesia did well in all stages too. We had our chances but lost some points here and there, otherwise could have made it to the second place. At least we got one of the stages . Big respect to my teammates, it was really hard to bench at night, working all day long, filling up the dewars during lunch time. All I wished after the comp was to get some good sleep . See you all in the next CountryCup and Happy New Year!

The core is slow, but when more than one enabled, the cpu just doesn't clock so high.

It has a huge vdroop and can't post with vdimm higher than 1.755V or so.

Christian Ney is not impresses, need to improve efficiency in the future

Virtu active?

We failed the SLI stage and there was nothing more we can do for BCLK stage. Had 116 with 3770K and a lot of screens from 115 to 116 (every 0.1MHz step) but the validation file was done with outdated cpuz - another failure . 7900GTX + 7900GTO, second one with crap memory; 8800GTS - one good with 1300+ Samsung memory and the second one with Qimonda. I <3 Qimonda . 9800GTX+ done with one half-dead card and hybrid cooling - first card on LN2, second card with Megahalems, lol. And we benched literally to the very end of the stage. They could do 1050 core on SS, but things didn't go well. Poor efficiency as well, although we have good 3770K (6.5 - 6.6 3DMark 03). Anyway, congrats to Greece, almost sure this is your year, but we will fight until the end See you in the next stages.

We did some mistakes, but all due to lack of experience with 3dm11, high-end cards and Crossfire/SLI setups. Used the wrong 3dmark version, didn't disable SI and actually this is our one and only finished complete run. CPU/board was throttling at 6.2GHz, so we tuned down to 6.1GHz, but had a lot of problems with 3-way CF and not identical cards. Still, I think 3rd place is good considering the competitors.

Here we go, Greece upped again

We'll upload the 15K 10 min before the deadline

if (userId == 1355) { // a.k.a. K404 requireAllInfo(); }

Everyone was looking at that 530 in US ebay .

In theory the 640MB version is better, so the SLI combination should go to the 2x8800GTS 640MB category. Same applies to all similar cases - you should always submit to the category of the better card. Sorry, I understand Russian, but can't write/speak .
