Confirmed that works in EVGA GTX 1080 FTW, tried bios posted by Elmor and it's very efficient with air, great work

Wow, great Score, GTX 1080 still alive

Just readed in detail the 1st post of the thread... What you saying is exactly what OC-Esports divisions make, season competitions allowing any kind of cooling limiting each division to specific hardware so everybody has similar performance, if you want that system you already have it at oc-esports.io I think the ideal system is a WELL distributed point system with divided CPU and GPU categories for global points, + WR points both for CPUs and GPUs, then assign 20 CPU hardware points slots, 20 GPU hardware points slots, 15 CPU global points slots, 15 GPU global points slots (In case of many categories of GPU Globals), and 15 Competition points slots, I would be happy with that... EDIT: About game benchmarks, first, in a real scenario nobody will play with LN2 on their machine, and second, spending 60 dollars in each game will make imposible to test game benchmarks so I should say forget about it

I don't think so, I know lot of new overclockers and each time I see more and more people joining this, and receive lot of questions everyday asking about OC Tips even being nobody in the OC world... Also there's a lot of people like me that is very young (I'm 19 years old) that still has a long time to keep overcooking and promote this beautiful hobby so more people can enjoy it, so I think OC won't die, at least in a good amount of time

Like some said, try to get a job if you want to progress... I'm 19 years old right now and have lot of hardware for the age I have (Two 1151 CPUs, GTX 1080, two 1151 motherboards, CPU and GPU pots), used DICE being 17 years old and also been 3rd at a Gigabyte Contest here at HWBOT still being 17 years old... Possibly using LN2 in some months at 19 years old If you really want it, work hard for your dreams, and you will reach them like I'm doing right now. I started at HWBOT at your age, 15 years old, and now I growed a lot without even beeing 20 years old, so keep working for what you want and you will be a great overclocker, good luck mate

Using offline mode while running was causing invalid scores... Scores are valid now when I disable offline mode

I think too much segmentation looses the concept of global, even as I said when I gave the price dividing idea I edited the post later too make only two big categories: Less than 750, and more than 750... Global points right now are obtained comparing with every existing piece of hardware, too much categories would make it very easy to get globals for everyone and they would lose the concept of globals... From another point of view, this would expand modding mid-end cards and putting them under LN2, which will be more fun for the users who know how to mod a card, but it will be more difficult for enthusiast users that don't know how to mod a card to get a good place even in a hardware category of a mid-range card...

That is why hardware points exist

Now 780Ti competes in globals against Titan X Pascal, so it's the same than now, I think it's the best way to separe graphics card without changing too much the actual system and making a complicated system with ROPs or similar things that lot of new users don't know and will complicate the understanding of HWBOT rankings

Launch price would always be the price for the card for the ranking, even if it drops later, that's why I said launch price and not actual price...

It's the price that AMD or Nvidia says when they launch the card... Nvidia said 700 dollars for GTX 1080 FE, that's the price to consider for every GTX 1080 in rankings... AMD said U$S 240 for RX 480 so that's the price for every RX 480 in rankings...

I have a strange idea but it's based on the big problems of Titans: Price... What about making launch price based categories? I say launch price because then they go lower after some time and it would be a mess to control that... I say something like: - Below 250 USD - 250 to 499 USD - 500 to 749 USD - Above 750 USD 1080Ti will possibly be priced at more than 750 USD since GTX 1080 FE price was 700 USD, so it will be in the same category than Titan X Pascal, and also in same performance category... EDIT: Maybe to not make so much changes to actual systems and not give global points to low end cards (below 250 USD) since like some said, it won't be really global, make two big categories: Under U$S 750 and above U$S 750 (This price obviously can be changed but it's the price between GTX 1080 and possible GTX 1080Ti Price)

Had lot of +4590 pps scores, magic of cooling phone down to not throttle, that is what raises significantly the score...

LOD turn now

Old GPUs don't give globals now, only last generations mid-high or high end cards give GP, so I think it's not necessary to include them... Maybe 10 categories divided to include from 4-way high end till X60 cards, cards slower than gtx x60 or AMD equivalent don't give globals now so I don't see a reason to include them in new system... Maybe 9 categories + a big categorie with ALL lower cards than actual gen GTX x60 cards to include all the others, but not more than that...

Yeah, stripped win 10 x32 is the best for XTU, also tight your mems as max as possible, mems are equal important as CPU in that particular bench

I think I said it in a earlier post but I want to make a separate comment about this... I think 15 GP, 40 HP and 25CP aren't well distributed, 15 GP maybe is too low in comparision with the amount of the other points, I think they should be 20 GP slots at least, maybe 25 GP Slots since lot of people have dual-core and quad-core CPU now, and maybe even a X99 CPU and/or a high end GPU, and could probably fill 20/25 slots. Also, who in the earth enters 25 competitions in a year? I think less than 50 people of the thousands of users that HWBOT has, 25 CP slots is totally unnecesary from my point of view... About 40 hardware points, you need some years at HWBOT to achieve 40 good scores that give decent points, I think 30 would be fine so new users can be a little bit more competitive... Resuming, I would make 20/25 Global Point Slots, 30 Hardware Point Slots, and 10/15 Competition Point slots

Try with W10, I know lot of people got better scores on w8.1 but in my case with i3-6100 I was getting constantly 695 on W8.1, and got 697 (Hardware #1) at first run on W10 x32... Also do not use last XTU version, scores a bit lower on i3s as far as I know

Card runs up to 2189MHz on some benchs on stock bios, got a good one It's a shame that I have Z170 and not X99 so I can't get competitive scores on most benchs

Maybe make something like OC-Esports divisions? Divide hardware in divisions and update them each time new GPU series release

Guys who have +6.5ghz skylake use lot of tweaks, +6.5ghz without tweaking won't get top scores

If any change made already, its posible to update UAT server to see? Also to check new system with all the new scores since there are lot of new scores since last UAT update

Nice to hear news about this... I think I forgot to say this: 25 Competitions points is too much, how many people enter 25 competitions in one year? Almost nobody... Also, I think 15 globals could be extended to 20, not caring about if 2D or 3D...

Score is 549.2, not 31328...
