  1. Profiles.

     

    Each benchmark we run has a different screen size and therefore a different location where one may place the benchmark application on the screen to fit CPUz/GPUz. For example, if I put Super Pi in the upper right hand corner, it will look a lot different (as far as where I put the CPuz screens) than say Vantage which is huge compared to Super Pi so a single 'profile' wouldnt be enough. So if you can save and label the config you can just select the profile and voila!

     

    EXCELLENT app and thank you Wizz!

  2. Will try this tonight. Anyone else had issues with the EVGA X79 boards, BIOSes 28 and 29? Turbo or/and memory issues?

     

    Edit: From the EVGA Forums, Jacob_F:

     

    We found an issue related to S4 resume, as a precautionary we have pulled the update for now and recommend using BIOS 29 for now.

    Among other problems...

     

    Even with bios 30 (all power saving disabled)

     

    Memory will not go over 1600Mhz (DDR3 2133Mhz 1.65v stock, works on UD7)

    debug 67 code, HARD lock (requires reflash or removing memory to one stick then reset CMOS) when increasing memory speeds past 1600Mhz

    Memory timings will not save OR if they do it doesnt save properly (X-Y-X-ZZ saves as X-X-Y-ZZ)

    Turbo multi options for each core disappears after bios save (only to come back with reflash)

     

    I contacted Jacob, and they are working on it. :)

  3. To reduce sandbagging, you could set up the monthly challenges to be closed randomly at any time during the last three days of the month. If nobody knows precisely when the contest will end, it will encourage them to get their score in before the random closure period begins (e.g., before the 29th of this month) - otherwise they run the risk of having the contest close before they submit. Just a suggestion. I support your initiative, though, Massman - sandbagging seems very anti-competitive and unsportsmanlike to me.
    I like this as well.. nice thinking!
