  1. Well Pure still has time to rebench those scores, 17hours is plenty of time to redo 7 stages. It will certainly be interesting to see how high PURE got the custom thread tweaks.
  2. I would imagine it was to make sure that the command line could be seen but the verification link would provide that as well. I guess you'll have to post your holdbacks and let them make a ruling
  3. The door was opened by allowing command line adjustments to start. Changing the rules on it mid competition seems unfair. Sure make the rules clearer but it should be done after the competition, especially since its obvious Mr. Paco didn't hide the fact in any way, shape or form. The command line adjustments shouldn't have been allowed to start (in my opinion) but once allowed changing it mid-competition isn't all that reasonable. It seems more like those that didn't know about the tweaks complain about how unfair it is, instead of what they really mean, "It is unfair that I didn't know about it"
  4. If the scores were legit at the beginning of the competition changing it half way through seems unfair as well. There are always tweaks that some people know about and others don't. Changing the cmd line is changing the default settings so that first rule is already out the window. That was approved at Country Cup so arguing about cmd line tweaks now seems backwards.
  5. I like to give everyone else a chance, don't want to discourage competitors by being able to get high clocks and run effecient. How fair would that be?
  6. I think its 3000/4000 series, so HD 3300 or HD4290 would fall within the category.
  7. LOL, well it is stock for overclockers right? Too bad I'm so horrible at 32M. My scores are as effecient as a government worker.
  8. It likely has to do with the fact that the QX9650 isn't officially recognized by the board. It will work but the handicapped FSB probably messes up the CPUz validation.
  9. I don't have a problem with the rules, certain chips will always be better. By having a pool of (in the 6000 series) 19 dual chips to choose from would allow for more people to be competitive. By excluding the majority of the chips (and I don't mean that the 6320 is just a poor choice against a 6850 but that the very best dual on LN2 can't even catch a quad on Air) you are essentially making the rules read: Use only Q6400 - not even list on HWBOT, Q6600, Q6700, QX6700, QX6800, or QX6850. Again I don't have problem with it, I own both, just trying to make a point that by limiting the contest to duals would have provided a wider field of scores and a great deal more interesting scores since all the duals are at least in the same realm of scores.
  10. Yes, it does. I do agree with you and don't much understand why this wasn't limited to just dual cores. A Quad makes every other dual core chip irrelevant. The 6000 series has 19 dual cores and 6 quads (3 are Extreme chips) and only the Q6600 is common (Sorry all you Q6400 users out there). So why limit the stage so severely and really make the Q6600 the only chip to use?
  11. I don't understand? The score using the SSE2 instructions is 492.7, but the best score is given by the SSSE3. 501.4 as submitted.
  12. Pentium and Celeron duals aren't Core 2. I was assuming it was only dual cores but perhaps quads are included... I don't see any posted yet though.
  13. It appears closed to me as well but I did make a posting so go ahead and give it a try. Must have missed the dual core 9000s being released.....
  14. Hmmm two of the three stages are open but no backgrounds....
  15. What does Winning Team (ECS user only!) in the prize structure mean? You are only eligible to win the prize if you use an ECS board?
  16. Aye, redoing this chip, although P5 doesn't always provide highest score. SSE2 provided highest for this one but have to rerun, ran out of time and chip was acting up.
  17. Ticket ID: 1483 Priority: Low Please add Gigabyte GA-890XA-UD3 Am3 motherboard\r\n\r\nhttp://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3421
  18. Right click near the top left corner of the program box (on the Futuremark banner), will open a menu that has "Submit Saved Result" as one of the options.
