Currios to learn something new, but what is that extra pci card you are using?

not sure what you meen now? the ultra should have faster memory ICs alowing higher frequency atleast or maybe thats not relevant due to bad scaling? Only checked my vanta card but assume all tnt cards takes memory voltage from the agp port as 3.3v making it a hassle to increase Vmem, Vgpu should be easy on this old cards tho.

Dont get me wrong but I got really excited when I finaly found a tnt2 Ultra in a bundle with other useless GPUs yesterday! Hope the price stays realistic

The same. must say Im impressed that you didnt get crazy over hitting that stupid random geekbench target on more than one cpu!

Thats totaly understandable but cant deny that Im looking forward to the update and true ranks between the persons that got the same amount of points in the ambient competitions

there will be 5 rounds. about how points are calculated id agree that it would be fun with a summary of all rounds

Socket 754 is the newest this round, so nothing for AM2 and 939

ahh, Picked up my package already aswell, havent had time to test it yet tho.

Nope think they fit physical but not electrical so to say. And woot! $200 for a motherboard, Think I gave like $1 for the MSI 6195 I got but killed my CPU so waiting for a new one that hopefully arives in time.

Starting to get closer now. hope you guys are as excited about a season2 as I am

that would be great. if it makes things clearer and reduce the amount of drama im all in.

looking forward to seeing you in next round of old school is best school that starts with the new year then

i know how hard it is to think about anything when you make the rules as everything is so obviose when you have been thinking and working on it for a while. if nothing else the rules gets beter for next year now that you guys know what have been unclear and coused problems this time.

That line you mention from the rules, its part of the rules for country cup aswell so not sure where you want to come with that part?

interesting question. I stayed enthusiast during country cup couse of last stage in this comp being after CC ended but might have been unnecessary? looking forward to an answear for future competitions

i think this looks beter but to counter your * that everyone gets more oc points you might want to look into is to run a test where you reduce the maxium global points to for example 100 points aswell.

Integrated is integrated insnt really true as a lot have happend over the years. On the older motherboards like socket 775 the iGPU was part of the motherboard and the reason to show the motherboard tab is obvious. On a modern system (read a system that can run firestrike with the iGPU) the motherboard doesnt mater more then in a normal firestrike submission as the iGPU comes with the CPU and therefor depends on what CPU you use and not on the motherboard. Yes, I see that I dont have the motherboard tab open in my submission and that is becouse I dont see it needed in the rules as the iGPU isnt integrated in the motherboard and I dont seem to be the only one. Check the winner from teamcup for example. http://oc-esports.io/#!/round/team_cup_2015_sc2/2363/3dmark_vantage_kabini

Yea thats absolutly a caps. Thanks for the image btw, will help in the hunt for a new look alike caps on some other broken card.

wow, I was looking at the score thinking how bad efficiency with such a high clocked CPU, then I realised it was done with FB-dim and totaly owned as choise for the 5th memory type in the competition!

Thanks a lot, that info about the bigger component helps a lot as I know that I can probably just take one from another motherboard then and it should be the same And about the small one, if you say its a caps, instead of a resistor like I though from the color on the picture thats also good as it means that I can just plunder a cap with similar size from another board and hope for the best. Really appreciate the help!

I think the idea to increase the points for people that didnt place first is good and I think the idea to decrease the cap for how many submissions before the global reach the maximum is good BUT Id go the other way and reduce the maximum globabal possible to 100 points instead of increasing it too 200 points. Then Id also add the new way of calculating points to HW points (stay with 50 as maximum), for really.. HW points are where it is, Globals shows that you spend alot on binning the latest CPU. Just look at the 900 series for example, 980ti gets all the globals but so few bench it compared to for example 970 that it hardly gives any HW points atm.

We couldnt figure out why it was happening back when we gathered so decided to just ignore it and bench as there are more 2600k with P67 motherboards runing windows XP in the database that shows up as a Pentium 3 Xeon which it totaly cant be looking at the score and just the combination of PCIe GPUs and a pentium 3. First example I found here but I know there was more. http://hwbot.org/submission/2365603_delly_3dmark06_geforce_gtx_titan_43649_marks I hope its not a problem as CPUz is there to show the CPU as its more trustworthy then 3dmark06. Im a bit currious on what you would say about a sumbisson that said N/A instead of Pentium3 like in your team mates case? http://hwbot.org/submission/3053853 No I dont want to bash any of the submissions I linked, just used them as example that you cant trust what 3dmark06 showes and that there is a reason we have to use GPUz + CPUz aswell in the screenshoots.

Not to mention that it was alot of fun to actually meet some of the guys, hope we can do something bigger like team Australia next year

Wow, Australia have realy done it again now in stage1 aswell! Now we just need our last night bencher to wake up so we can see if we manage to beat those canucks

the goal in this competition is to hit the target score and not to get the highest score.
