I'm not quite sure what happened here Nick Shih: Ryba:

Thanks guys 2,17 Kg incomming! @ Kenny: No it's a complete new pot. Still looking for the right name.

:D

Yes, you are right Then we should define how we see benchmarks in HWBot. 1) I would see as a technical development (still not sure why we would need it for HWBot) 2) Is there a way to find out whether this is the case? Would be quite problematic like you already said. Every update on the software could mean the results here on HWBot differ alot.

The track is the same ye but not all the obstacles are done. Correct me if I'm wrong but atm every allowed tweak doesn't change the amount of rendered frames. E.g. LOD changes the quality but not the quantity. In 3DMark2003 we have the bugged scores when the screen is black (frames are still calculated) but you still get a result - a very high one. These results are not allowed. So this would be similar to the MVP. Frames are left out -> higher result. I know in this case you don't a picture on your screen but who decides which frames are necessary to be calculate and which are not? Starting with MVP frames are left out. Next year we have another program which leaves out even more frames and the result gets higher again. Where is the end? This software for sure can improve the gaming experience. But we are bencher and no gamers. We have to think which option is the best for HWBot. I don't see any advantage for benchers here. Only a huge amount of disadvantages.

I agree on you but who runes Benchmarks for image quality? We run benchmarks to have comparable results here on HWBot. It's the same like F1 races. Everybody has to do the same course to get a valid time. It's not allowed to leave out obstacles even tho it would be more logic. MVP might have advantages for gaming but not for us here on HWBot.

If that's true there is no point using MVP for HWBot. Then we can also start just benching 50% of the benchmark and still get a result which is then 200% higher. Doesn't make sense.

Sick clock for this temperature o.0

Thanks 1,54vGPU 2,215vMEM -142 C on Pot during the benchmark Soon with more ob CPU

Haha well played, Sam

Haha You have to cut this together and make a nice video out of it.

I also thought about it today. I have to check the costs but I would love to go!

I've seen the Lucid Virtu in action on the CeBIT. I can't remember the name of the benchmark Gigabyte used there but the performance of 1x 7970 + Virtu was even higher than 2x 7970 without Virtu. So it is realy a incredible boost.

Yea exactly Even worse! That was before we went to palo-palo. I think the Ballentines already did a good job to our flower

Got some of the arm-wrestling pics: And now propably one of the best pics ever

Just arrived back home Was awsome to meet you all. Already looking forward to the next event to meet you all again!

Yea Predator was also there.... For some ppl it's realy hangover in hannover Don't even ask what happened before

Got almost everything ready and will start my trip tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock Looking forward to meet you all!

Good will be there on thursday

Awsome work!

Where are the places to meet now? Booth & Time?

nice clocks good work!

I don't have LN2 or dice here to test such high clocks on the GPU but at least I can confirm what you posted underneath. I'm also getting 1242 MHz but 1240 is impossible for me. Tested on two 8800GTs. The question is - is there realy no way to get this clock? Maybe we should just ask him.

Mhh actually this is a good question and I'm not sure which is the correct answer. How does Futuremark see this? They created the 3DMarks so they should actually know the answer. My opinion would be to render the complete frames but that's only my opinion and doesn't have to be true.
