THIS CARD IS NOT AN 8800GT. I made it LOOK like an 8800GT to the drivers so I can use it with 169.21 drivers and get a boost in 3D01.. possibly 3D03. Might also remove coldbug.... I can rank well without bending the way the card is seen by the drivers. I can get Gold if I do. Will respect HWB decision either way. I dont like doing stuff like this and sponsors might not like "ugly" solutions on the way to WR but better asking now

Oops! Sorry, I only looked in the general section.

Nope, not legal --> Needs mentioned in the rules page please admins

Hmmm. Do you have a score breakdown from before and after? Where were you losing points? Total score will scale very very slowly with a dual-core. Its unlikely to make-or-break your score but thats not a reason to not help ya if we can

Did you restart in between runs? Vantage always gives the best score with its 1st run

Drivers clearly need some work. Twice the core GPU power.... 5% increase over 4870X2 scores. Not your fault though guys, nice work so far!

Thanks Gautam Any info on D-PP?

Im comparing some runs iv done in 3D06 and I really REALLY dont see how a couple guys have pulled the FPS they have in parts of 3D06, especially given their MHz. I dont know enough about MIP and D-PP to flag their results but i'd like to know... how do these cheats affect the 3DM06 sub-test scores? I dont want to say much about the categories users or scores. I dont want to risk tainting any replies.... Cheers!

Well Dinos and tiborr have an advantage over in the 512MB category but thanks for giving me a complementary thread Frederick

Keep forgetting about the submission logs. Sorry!

BOOOOOOO 1st thread discussing one my scores and its not a congratulations : Did you edit my submission knop, so it comes up as 2x 8800GT?

Dead link bro Is your review a world exclusive?

http://hwbot.org/compare.do?resultId=632592 score seems very high for such low CPU

"but I've already bench it and want post my results to get some hwboints" Without scores to analyse, who am I to argue?

If you paid 9800GT money bro, get a refund!!! Did you get good scores that would hold up in the 9800GT category?

half-assed failure? Miserable failure?

Killed by what you helped create. Thats harsh

There is a whole load of unnecessary crap in that screenshot (IMHO)

I just went through all my 3D submissions and made sure everything was in order (apart from the checked ones I cant edit) Some of the properly-detected ones are better scores though. isnt ~15K mobos about right? Asus and Giga do over-release a bit Thanks for going through allllll these fields and cleaning them up. I can imagine a % of the tedium involved.....

What criteria are there at the moment for deciding what scores appear in it? I have better scores in the same bench, done with the same board but they arent showing up?

Hey Andre.. fair point I should have said "willing to show" not able to show From an ultra-cynical POV, you showing proof of retail was a mute point as in theory, you can skip the queue and/or get advance on retail parts. Thats not an accusation towards either you or eVGA... it comes back to how things *could* look. I figured the first batch sold out really quick and theres a backlog. I was hoping eVGA had more inventory Just a general wish, nothing to do with F1

I disagree completely From The Overclocker magazine, Rule No.1: All kit must be retail spec and must be on sale by the end of each month. Did you mis-word the rule? The rule was adjusted to "pre-order" and "following month" AFTER the questionable result was made known (to the public anyway.) Apparently these boards are now shipping, or a small batch was shipped. Ironically, the only person whos been able to show a shipping receipt is a man who had ES to play with. Was the inclusion of not released hardware requested in advance of a score, or as an afterthought? Was the clearance given, knowing what the score+ hardware was? Did all the competitors and companies know in advance? Changing the wording of a rule can change the rule. What you meant to say might not have changed, but how did everyone respond to the first revision of the rule and how did everyone react to the alteration? Appearances are everything, Nick.

Its cool. Im used to wild tangents. At least this one is labelled properly junk food tastes good: yea... but thats taste. I like the taste of nuitrition too (within reason)
