    Allowed GPU's Div III

    in HWBOT Competitions

    Posted

    I do not agree with allowing 980, 980 was high end when it was released. I thought the point of the different classes were that we would have to spend alot of money to buy stuff specifically for these competitions. Just use what is in your price class, i.e. what you already have.

     

    Why not allow 3770k/2600k they are cheaper than 7350k...for me it is illogical.

     

    I think we could argue for days on the gpu part due to the massive change in the pricing on gpus.

     

    The point i was making was not which card they picked prior to the start of the competition but once it was picked, to stick with it.

     

    The 980 was included and the conclusion by websmile was that it was allowed due to low cost of the card. This was on the first day of the competition.

     

    People make buying decisions and plans before the comp but when the competition starts the hardware should not change. Period.

    This is for the benefit of all benchers. Whatever card is picked stick with it.

     

    If your point is to save money what about the people that have or have just bought a 980 or 970 and now are being asked to buy a lesser card after the start of the competition.

    Saving money works both ways.

    The current most poplular gpus on Hwbot are:

    Nvidia GeForce GTX 1070

    Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080

    Nvidia GeForce GTX 970

    Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti

    Intel Mobile HD Graphics 5300

    If there is a price advantage for a stronger card which is the better option?

    In all honesty i have a 780ti it does not matter to me I have 980 and 980ti

     

    I ask for those that at this point in the competition should not be asked to buy a different card.

    In all fairness I understand your point but that should have been brought up before the start of the competition. I'm done here good luck to all.

    you were supposed to be looking at the dfi board ;> but seriously the foams a bit stiff from a kayak place. 35.00 they have 1 and 2 inch pieces for someone in the states here is the link.. in case anyone is interested.

    austinkayak.com - Product Search - closed cell foam

     

    turns out that foam isnt as durable as the neoprene so ill glue some 1/4 on the top of it.

     

    i get my neoprene at this place and they have a Canada site and a usa site. top right hand corner

    Who is charge of league placement?

    in HWBOT Competitions

    I can understand saying this if the score was not in line or the cpu mhz was too high. But what is wrong with a 4.5ghz 5960x. Perfectly normal for watercooling.

     

    That's not really cool to call out someone like that with no proof that they used that container to cheat. he is a really great guy and I really dont think he would ever cheat.

     

    It's tough sometimes because you want to try ln2 but maybe cant do it all the time so you just dabble here and there until you are ready to commit to extreme league.

     

    So what is your rule, if you have a nice setup, have ln2 containers or have used ln2 before you cant be in the novice league?

     

    Thanks for backing up one of the newest and coolest members of our team. I stand behind him proudly.

    Before people attempt to smear a very gifted bencher in a public way someone could have asked him. The real question is who is in charge of the witchunt ? And Why?

     

    Btw strong nice win on Cheapaz Chips.

    where to get bios for older mainboards (DFI, EPoX...)

    i had contacted DFI and the person i talked to said they dont have them but that they get requests all the time. Sad if this is true but I will go thru my old drives ( im unorganized.. ) as i found a old mobo site that had pentium bios's and other such bio's .. Now that i have a place to put them ill pass on to op when i find the site again. ( redid my workshop/garage )
