  2. Sorry mate i dont follow any other sport, was gonna use football but theres just too much corruption there
  3. I have highlighted the point i am trying to make! Nice post and a great attitude, wish mine was the same, but if it was i'd give up and try something else where i could compete!
  4. I keep hearing this "different league" thing in other threads and i dont agree. I like to see it as classes, with the world rankings being THE league. Again look at car racing, the formula's, F1, formula 3, formula ford etc, if you win a race in F3 you get max points because you are only competing with F3 members, F1 is faster round the same track and they also get max points, each league is individulal and not taken from the whole. You can be #1 in the novice "league" but the points are all coming from the same pot so in effect we are all competing for the same points, just with different classes within one League.
  5. I get that and it does not matter to me if 1 or 1000 people get a tray of cpu's but for me as long as there retail then everyone has the chance of competing. How does any of us know if an ES is different to what we can buy off the shelf?
  6. I totally get this but on the rare times that super special ES samples have an edge over retail then these should be used for showcase only/points disabled. Handing over a tray of cpu's to an elite member to bin for use i'm fine with aslong as there retail as that retains hope! @K404 as far as i'm aware there just not allowed in comps
  7. Should ES samples be awarded points in the league?? For me personally this is a big NO and here's my reasons why. I like to try and be competetive within our community league, i have limited funds available so i either have to strike it lucky or buy good and hopefully make the most of what i have, i dont buy 10+ cpu's etc, i buy the one and work with it if its totally dire, sell and buy another, binning kinda but on a miniscule scale! I dont hold anything to those that can throw the cash at our hobby, good luck to them and i wish you all the best. Think Formula 1 for a minute, This season dominated by mercedes, but other teams still had a glimer of hope at getting on the podium, unlikely but it did happen so its doable, great! Now picture mercedes getting an ES package that gaurantees #1, great for the driver untill he stands high on the podium and no one claps. All the other drivers are just looking down at there feet thinking forward to the rest of the season, that glimmer of hope is gone. *** Dan, this is in no way a personal attack at you, just so happens i used F1 where the germans are at the top!! (Even though most of the car is brittish designed! ) So even though i love seeing some of these amazing achievments from the top overclockers i believe ES should be there to showcase but not compete with the rest, otherwise wheres the hope??
  8. Hasn't this thread gone on long enough now?? Whenever people start having diggs its time to end it! @Massman do you have enough info/ideas to run a poll yet? Lets get voting and lay this to bed and get benching Maybe not a constructive post but a Poll would give an indicator of where the majority want this to go instead of it going round in circles. My vote, all 3D subs when benched on LN2 should get more points for the difficulty and skill level, should not matter if its a £20 or a £1000 vga, the skill needed is still pretty much the same with more points awarded for using multiple cards(LN2)
