GPU 325MHz - stock (1.77V?) 330MHz - 1.8V 345MHz - 1.9V 355MHz - 2.03V 360MHz - Black screen at any voltage => 357MHz at 2.05V; GPU ~ 35°C load It seems that I'm hitting a wall at around 360MHz I can increase the voltage over 2.1V, but it doesn't help me get it more stable. MEM 566MHz - stock (3.45V?) 600MHz - 3.55V 610MHz - 3.66V (with artifacts) 615MHz - 3.6V (heavy artifacts) => 620MHz at 3.6V; MEM ~ 50°C load 620MHz isn't always stable and I have heavy visual artifacts. The score still scales upwards, so ... I'm fine with it. Increasing the voltage up even further doesn't help, so I guess the only thing left to do is decrease the temperatures

It's most definitly the FSB; I saw quite a difference between 240 and 250MHz. Btw, I just hit 2200

I have uploaded the verification screenshot and added it to this score

Installed the voltage modifications ... let's see how high this card goes on air cooling :-)

I think C2D is only faster because the transfer rate from AGP to CPU (NB bottleneck) is much higher. For instance, on my XP platform, I see no scaling from increasing the CPU frequency, but huge scaling when I increase the FSB frequency.

the Hwboint-suggestions?

It was removed because it was highly inefficient: too much saved records for the purpose of the feature. I think RB already stated that a new version is planned, although ... let us fix all other bugs before that.

HUUUGE GPU container :-)

Buying a GF3 also has no point . I mean ... it's a competition ... it's not "make-everyone-feel-like-a-winner"-day

The idea of the oc challenge is to have one stage a month, not two or subrankings or anything like that. If we start doing this, we end up having to split up the competition in a number of rankings equal the the amount of hardware categories we have ... which makes it too chaotic an uninteresting. The reason why the chosen platform is so old is to allow interested people to go to ebay and find a card to participate ;-)

How do you mean?

Un-official ranking ;-)

Added Kontron: http://hwbot.org/hardware/manufacturer/kontron Please let me know what mainboard type you're using. I'll add it as well .

Whoever cheats/commits fraude in an HWBOT competition is banned for life. I hope that shows how serious we are about this

English please.

English please

That would mean that we litterally equalize "effort/skill" and "able to buy hardware" in terms of points and reward. I'm sure that's not how any ranking should be.

It's equal for me, I can manually give them points when NDA is over. 7th of January was NDA for Clarkdale, somewhere in March I think It's Gulftown.

If you link me the score, I can adjust it to "no-boints"

Gulftown based scores are allowed, but cannot receive points.

A steep curve is needed to differentiate those who actually break the world record by going all LN2 from those who want to come close only using air vga's. Absolute WR = absolute WR.

That's exactly what the bonus is for: absolute WR attempts. Not to fix low competition.

Interesting! What about AGP @ 50MHz?

Ok, so that was my problem yesterday.
