I can't read it right now, I'm at work, but let's point out a thing that I wrote you in my first PM. I'm not mad at you, we're trying to ASK you to let us know something and report to MSI our complaints. We're not giving you the responsibility of MSI behavior... that said, if you can intercede and take them our arguments, it would be great, as we're all stuck at 1,3v.

This is not the point... if everybody is imposed to risk his vga vmodding it, then it's ok to me. If everybody is forbidden to use unreleased hw it's fair, it's ok to me. If some guys can use a sw that lets them to not risk the vga due to a bad soldering, and the others not, this is not fair as I prefer to not hardmod a videocard that costs A LOT. I'm not asking MSI to release everything to the public, but at least to the guys who are taking part in that comp!

QFT. Pieter, I asked you in PM how can I get AB extreme, to avoid being marked as "unauthorized owner of unreleased sw originally given to xx", like almost everybody is doing around here, and this is you response Pieter? Hardmod? I always hardmodded mobos and vgas in the last 10 years, but if I'm partecipating a competition in which everybody needs a software to not to risk damages to a 549euros vga, I should have it LEGALLY... Am I the only one who wants to pursue the correct way for having it? Well, it seems that it's not the case.

We (me and TheKing) did our first run for MOA, yesterday evening, but we're stuck at 1,3v on the GPU, without AB Extreme, in other words 1330/1800 max in 3dm03. I wrote 2 times to pieter in the last days, but no response yet. And no, I don't want that sw from somebody else. I think that MSI should give AB to people partecipating to that comp, and I don't know who's the person in MSI in charge to give that sw. Can somebody help there?

We probably are psu limited lol With cpu@5,5+ghz and gpu@1500, shutdown during Game tests in 3dm11 Room for improvement here and there, we hope to do 14,5k asap!

Wooot! Nice starting point fede!

Lol, come to Italy not as a tourist, you'll love Sweden in a few months Oh, and you have Viking Metal also 'bout the Lightning, still not available here too, but already listed in a few shops at 600euros more or less

Lol, congratz pieter :nana:

yeah, crap, good, just a matter of point of view lol

edit- double

Because there were only 6 liters of LN2 left from the weekend session, so 2/3 liters were used to cool down the pots, the last 3/4 were used to do Unigine and 06. There was no room for crashing and re-do the runs, so the frequencies are far from being maxed out, he just set the rock solid frequencies of 1400/1900, run, open the other bench, run, the end. The OS is quite destroyed after all the sessions we did in the last weeks, drivers are old, freqs not maxed, no LN2, so I think that this score is quite good lol Anyway, it doesn't comply to the rules because of the resolution not shown, too bad, remove it so that we can close this, lol

He had only 6liters of LN2 left from the weekend, no time to improve it, surely we can do more

Lol, we're gettin' too old to survive to a w.e. like that one Thanks Fede!

Lol, didn't know that! The weird fact is that we weren't running in compatibility mode, just click on the exe and go... lol

So, Draco, while we were politely talkin' about our result here, you were reporting it sayin' "[DRACO]: reported by user due to possible cheat (3DMARK11 IN XP? LOL XP NO DIRECT11 CHEAT)". lol? Ok, since I HATE cheater and all the fuckers like them, can I ask the mods to take a look to our submission (and don't forget the other one in Vantage, made in the same bench session), to close this fuckin' issue? I heard more than one guy, saying "allright, it's not the first time I see GPUz reporting XP on 7, clearly a bug", so for me it's ok. If it's not, according to the mods, then no probs, we'll remove those submissions and we'll re-do them and maybe improve them. Oh, and Draco, take a look at the other results in Physics, using SB-E in Dual Channel, then you'll notice that there IS difference in THAT test. The difference is quite irrelevant at the final score, but in physics you can easily obtain a 4/5fps boost.

Good job Fede, keep pushin' it!

Yeah, we had the last liter of LN2 left, we started the last run at 1450/1925 (3dm11 closed at 1500/1925), but the fuckin' Vantage crashed at the end of GT2... no way to do a second run with only half thermos left

And now I noticed that the same problem happens with the other score, made on the same OS, in the same bench session: http://hwbot.org/submission/2271394_theking_3dmark_vantage___performance_radeon_hd_7970_48741_marks Any idea guys? p.s: as per the Physics score, we were in dual channel, take it into account

:eek:Lolwut? I didn't notice it, and I can't explain how can it be.

Hi Draco, this was 7, not XP, as it's not possible to start 3dm11 on a not-dx11 compatible os Anyway, we had a little room for improvement here and there, our goal was to reach 14k pts but, as always, we ran out of LN2 lol

In Italy, you can start selling Z77 mobos, starting from the 6th April, rest of the world has different deadlines?

Good job Fede, congratz!

Niiiice start Fra

I agree with K404 and Sam, it would be great to have an option to choose to be contacted first

Uhm.. Chris, cpuz seems edited in the cache area, you see that bright spot around the number 10? Anyway, probably a 3dm11 monster at a friendly price of 1999USD :lol:
