hmm.. High Vgpu voltage would not explain why @kimandsally is also achieving a ray score higher than fur. I know he is using water and I would guess he is running somewhere between 1.3v-1.4v. (mind didn't scale past 1.33v on water)

I was running 1.70v-1.73v for my entire DICE session and it seems all my good scores show the pattern of ray being higher than fur. I will check all my cold results when I get home to be sure, but all my good ones are like that. As for artifacts, yes, I was seeing some during the bench but nothing ridiculous.

Well, I see raymarch is higher than fur test thus my result is deemed glitched or invalid? Edit: Looks like most of my backups follow this pattern...guess that pretty much takes me out.

Making that board look good, nice work man!

WOW!! The modding on that card is looking SICK, and huge core OC!! I was hoping that DICE would be competitive but I think the -60 load POT temps really held my card back. I was able to pass IceStorm with 1850 core at 1.73v but it was artifacting heavily which resulted in a lower score. I had to stay around 1750 core to stop the artifacts. What temps where you LN2 guys benching at?

I tested W7, 8.1, and 10. Out of all three, good ol' W7 was the fastest, but by a very small margin.

Looks killer man, can't wait to see some brutal clocks!!!

I want wish everyone good luck with the rest of the competition!! I had tons of fun learning GT730, I picked up a few new 3D tricks, and I got to try LN2 for the first time too...couldn't ask for a better time benching It feels good to be done, looking forward to sitting back and watching you guys battle it out for the top spots.

Dang Marc! ...and no slow mode!

Has anyone experienced CB issues with this GT730 yet? I did a quick test last weekend and my card has an issue around -80. With enough DMI volts the card was displaying with full pot LN2 but I could not bench it there. I am curious to see if others are having similar experiences. No more LN2 for me I am going to try DICE tonight, we will see how far that gets me.

I have done E-Power core + Zombie mem, no issues with ground. I went ballistic with ground and even tied both power cards' grounds together.

I made my first LN2 subs over the weekend and I am still in apprentice. I figured the change would be automatic but maybe I need to be manually moved up. I have a feeling you want me out of apprentice so you can move up to the top3. If the move to extreme doesn't happen soon I will ask a mod to help, I wont be spot blocking apprentice anymore.

No, you don't get to complain about 1450 mems... I am stuck at 1375 with 1GB Samsung GDDR5. This was the max on the stock card with stock voltage. Then with G-Power core+memory its exactly the same. I tried all the way up to 1.78v and didn't even gain 5mhz. Interestingly, going down to 1.45v (-0.05) got me about +15mhz so I think trend shows heat is an issue. I am hoping to get some scaling with cold.

Nice work!

Thanks Jason! This is just an updated backup score with FM link as per the new rules. @PKBO... The card is all prepped up with a POT right now but I have probably 50 pictures already at the various stages. Is there something in particular you wanted to see? The core has 3x8GA solid and memory has 2x8GA solid core.

Awesome!

DANG That is huge for air, nice work man!!!

Thank you man, I admire your awesome benching skills!!

I subbed basic 5g just to compare with others and make sure I had a score in for the lucky draw. I will run soon with dice and my scores will go in the extreme category.

So much hard work, you deserve it man grats!!

I came across another PCB layout when doing a vmod for someone. I figured I would make a quick little guide and post it in here. Pics attached

DD BB Strikes again!!

The GT730 is not required for stage 1. Same Q/A can be seen here: http://forum.hwbot.org/showthread.php?t=169310

Madness!!

I have a question about league placement. The rules state "•Extreme category consists of Elite, Extreme and Apprentice members; Ambient category consists of Enthusiast, Novice and Rookie members" If I (apprentice) sub according to the 5g ambient guidelines then my scores count in the extreme category? Correct? Using dice I wont really be able to compete with the LN2 junkies so I am wondering if I am allowed to participate in the ambient category as an apprentice. The rules are pretty clear but I wanted to double check.
