Lightning's in at the 'Egg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127670&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-RSSDailyDeals-_-na-_-na&AID=10521304&PID=4003003&SID=kq5anruba2yw If I had one of these I'd participate.

Thanks!

When is this thing going to hit retail shops?

:celebration:

That very well could happen going forward, but the results that are already completed and ranked and have all the required information in the screenshot are 100% valid IMO. The rules do not state a specific order of open x, open y, open z, then save data file, so we should not be punishing/removing results that comply to the current rules.

I don't mean the 3DR file, I mean the screen shot. The same scenario can be done in the FM benches as what you've expressed concern over with Heaven.

This can also be done with all the FM benchmarks, so why single out Heaven.

+1 Nobody wants to look like a fool, I think part of the problem is the language translation. But with that said, it is alot of the same stuff over and over and over. Not sure it's really needed, but if it's necessary then so be it, as long as it is clearly spelled out in the rules.

The screenshot meets the rules posted here: http://hwbot.org/news/3546_application_23_rules/ If you want a specific order, it must be clearly spelled out in the rules, which it is not.

This thread is full of lulz, now there's an order as to which things must be opened and then the SS taken. w.t.f.ever

Maybe we can find a way to calculate total frames skipped, then we can add a new category and award WR's for most frames skipped per 3D bench.

Hoping for some '01 fun this weekend.

Yeah, I'd rather clock my GPU or CPU higher to get a better score than have some software trick the bench into thinking it ran faster than it really did, you can call me old fashioned I guess.

How many more pages before we can get a poll?

lol, awesome point.

How did this run compare to a run without MVP ?

Nice run! Define "affordable" Mine will be here tomorrow.

Pretty nice score! Not if you're using the latest version of 3DMark '11

Very nice job Andre, looking forward to your 4x2GB results.

If they've put the time, effort and money into it, I'm of the opinion they should be rewarded points for it.

Why don't you work on Airgas in the US while you're at it.

3 slot air coolers = FAIL Note to Manufacturers, if you make cards like this ensure the connectors can be used easlily. Same scenario for the Lightning 580's with that bracket across the SLI connectors.

If it's "old generation" you're fine to submit

fair is a relative term, no matter how the calculations are set up someone will say it's not fair for some reason or another. In a ranked league, it should be up to the participating members to decide how much effort to put into it, and at what level they want to participate at. IMO the way an individual's points are being calculated has changed too often in the last 2 years and should be left alone for at least 2 years going forward.
