[The official HWBOT Country Cup 2012 thread.]

Yeah nice competition however Germany and Belgium failed:p

 

Maybe we can all fail together next time !

[The official HWBOT Country Cup 2012 thread.]

Nicely done!

Nice work Kenny

[Teemto - 2x GeForce 8800 GTX @ 640/1000MHz - 28308 marks 3DMark06]

One PoV and one ASUS.

Makes you wonder if x86 will be a thing of the past in 10 years...

 

Food for thought.

Nice one!

[Teemto - Radeon HD 6670 GDDR3 @ 900/900MHz - 258130 marks Aquamark]

Too bad Asus Smartdoc 5.80 doesn't install (as usual!!!). And as afterburner doesn't work with this card I'm limited to AMD's overdrive which is limited to 900MHz.

[Teemto - 2x Radeon HD 3870 X2 @ 891/900MHz - 77551 marks 3DMark2001 SE]

This time a correct run with 4GPU's running ;-)

[Teemto - 2x Radeon HD 3870 X2 @ 891/900MHz - 110385 marks 3DMark2001 SE]

Appologies. As my score was higher than my run with only one card, I didn't notice that only 2 GPU's were active. Should've known though: if it's too good to be true, it usually is :-)

Still strange that I somehow got 2000 additional points by plugging in the second card even though it's not used.But hey no problem. Learned something new. Will test the setup under Win7.

[New version of Intel Extreme Tuning Utility will feature a built in benchmark in association with...hwbot.org!]

It's much bigger than just the integration of a new benchmark because of three reasons:

- industry level security & encryption between HWBOT and XTU. Cheating is nearly impossible, or you'd need to borrow the supercomputers at NASA for a decade. Or have access to Turrican's hardware. : )

- hardware specs are correct, not manually entered in a form. Much less error prone and more reliable.

- bios/uefi settings are can be shared, and if you have similar hardware you can apply the settings of another submission to your system with the click of a button. Don't try to apply one of k|ngp|n's world records to your aircooled system though. ;D

 

That's indeed 'much bigger'. Very nice!

[Just Intel...]

Knowing you, the chance of that happening is rather high :-)

[New version of Intel Extreme Tuning Utility will feature a built in benchmark in association with...hwbot.org!]

Please elaborate on the much bigger -> what else is in store?

Intel sponsoring of Hwbot?

 

Or do you mean bigger than the Porsche :-D

Haven't immediately found an english site posting so you'll have to use google translate ;-)

 

A quick search lead me to:

But we'll have to wait till Haswell before it becomes available.

[The official HWBOT Team Cup 2012 - SC6: "PCMark05 xCore" thread.]

So what do the experts think about the VAPOR scores ? His Virusscan is insane, Gen HDD usage pretty high too. And that all accomplished with just 2 SSD's in RAID and no other soft ?

[Teemto - Radeon HD 5850 @ 974/1302MHz - 134672 marks 3DMark2001 SE]

Thx. With an LN2 card I would've taken first place, was limited by the air cooling on the GPU. Got pretty close though, but ran out of LN2.

[Teemto - GeForce GTX 295 @ 660/1085MHz - 439557 marks Aquamark]

Too bad ambient temps were too high (28°C) to get a decent GPU overclock.

Damn you nice weather!!! ;-)

[LN2 costs]

1€/liter buy it through a friend who has a 5000ltr tank at his company.

[LGA1155 facts, stats and list of mainboards]

Didn't know that (whilst taking a deep bow).

The Gene-Z will still stay my primary GPU bench rig (SB-E's too expensive for my wallet) until Ivy Bridge becomes available.

Whoa, what do I spot there: publicity for Belgian beers?!

Btw, that's actually one of the worst Belgian beers (which is why we export it ;-) ).

[Gamer - GeForce GTX 580 @ 1250/1200MHz - 135193 marks 3DMark2001 SE]

Showing off his stack o' cards in the background - subtle ;-)

Nice run.

[Please check if this is a new X1300 model]

Added a screenshot from GPU-Z.

[Please check if this is a new X1300 model]

According to GPU-Z 0.5.4

 

Name: Radeon X1300/X1500 series

GPU: RV515

Technology: 90 nm

Device ID: 1002-7146

Subvendor: ATI(1002)

Shaders: 4pixel/2vertex

Memory type DDR2

Memory size: 256MB

Bus width: 64 bit

Bandwith: 4.3GB/s

Default clocks: 450/250MHz

 

I first though it was the regular one : Radeon X1300 256MB but according to screenshots of other entries that one has a 128bit bus.

 

My card has P/N 102A7710111 000092

 

Could this be entered as a new type? If not which one should I choose from the list?

Grtz,

Teemto

[TOP5 "must-have" for AMD's new Bulldozer!]

i think unrockstar's 5 stage cascade

 

Hmm I'll have to ask Jort to add a couple of additional stages to my new cascade after seeing that. I wonder what the startup current is for that behemoth.

[This is simply too funny. I wonder what our hwbot staff will do about this.]

Rbuass your efforts (and resulting growing number of overclockers) just show that Brazil along with China, India and Russia (so called BRIC countries) will be the future economic leaders.

Thumbs up.

[Bug reports : Achievement not gained]

Thx Christian.

That's quite a nice piece of SW to keep track of issues and fixes.
