Sounds like a good time to use that once a year Dice round then

http://hwbot.org/hardware/videocard/radeon_hd_4350/ Should be 500MHz DDR2 tho, you got a OEM card maybe with worse then standard memorys?

Wow, great board you got there!

You need to smear the red out some more for perfection Some inspiration for Rauf to take this artform to the next level! Nice score btw! And that screenshot sure is a hard benchmark.

Expect it to come when the competition begins to avoid people starting the benching early. Thats my guess atleast.

From the competition site. Limitations a videocard manufactured by Nvidia Use 1 videocard core(s) in total. A verification screenshot is required. Please attach a picture of your overclocking rig. Retail hardware only, engineering samples not allowed. Hardware must be launched before the start of the competition.

Change the question to two GPUs then, simply put would it go back to another submission if the old top score drops so its not top anymore? rewriten example below.

Exactly we agree then Just said an average of 20 HW points as it was easier to write then 30+25+17+22+6 which is the same as 5x20 = 100 points

Thats just what I tried to say, problem is to many things called points. Rewriting it slightly even tho I think we meen the same thing.

I cant find anything that says only one score per person? And its based on the total HW score from a maxium of 10 submisions, so a team with one score of 50 HW points will get 50 points, a team with 5 submissions for an average of 20 points will get 100points in total and a team with 10 submissions with 16 points in average with get 160 points in total. This meens that you dont have to score in all rounds but it ofc helps. And it also meens that a good score giving 50 points with for example a gtx580 is more worth then winning a pokal with a geforce4 for 10HW points

Stage 1 - 3DMark06 Nvidia HWpts: use 10 different single GPU Nvidia graphics cards, each from a different family. The ranking is based on the sum of the hardware points of the ten results. There are 50 points for the winning country So performance does not mater, you just need a hige ranked score with a popular card.

Just a fast question Stage 1 - 3DMark06 Nvidia HWpts: use 10 different single GPU Nvidia graphics cards, each from a different family. The ranking is based on the sum of the hardware points of the ten results. There are 50 points for the winning country The bolded part referes to different core or different naming family? For example would a gtx 680 and a gtx770 be seen as different family when its the same card?

Interesting, I checked like 4 versions but not the 3.20 and that one actually got the bios file unpacked. Testing if it worked now or Im out of luck for real. EDIT: Nope, motherboard is still dead, fan starts to spin for a very short time then it just turns itself off again, guess Ill have to bench some PCI-e cards instead before a new good agp cards shows up then..

Already tried 7zip and doesnt work, only thing I found when searching for alternatives was a guy that had exctracted the bios from a working chip but that download link was dead now. And yea, Ive already benchend some 10 cards with this mobo before it decided to die on me so this isnt software related. Behavior hints of corrupt bios tho so hope to get it back to life.

Just throwing out a bait to see if anyone of you AGP Overclockers got a "naked" bios file for the AM2NF3 motherboard laying around. I think a corrupt bios is Behind That my card totaly refuse to boot and I've had no success with hot flashing it due to ASRock bad habit of hiding the bios file in the flasher software. So anyone got the file saved away or the option to take a backup of thier Bios with something like "Universal BIOS Backup ToolKit" and help me out? Bios version 3.30 is very much preffered as it Allows the use of Phenom2s

2p should take between ~31-62 days (at 62days it turns over to 1point instead!), ~5300 frames gives a average of 7 fph (frames per hour) so its absolutley amazingly fast and rewarding to watch compared to GPUPi where I had ~3 days between the progress updates on the round my GF killed after ~700h

atleast something happens in Aquamark, way more fun then GPUpi for 700h+

First identify the ICs on the card, and then just google the data sheet for it.

wow, amazing score! Any idea how those SDRams react to some cold?

All stages are decided upon so there should be an announcment when Massman and the moderator team are ready with the rest of the work for setting up the competition. Expect season 2 to start early next year tho

Think he ment more how much time you would be expected to spend for example during a month as a CCTF then how long you had to stay active as one?

The 32M on x64 run is completed, was lucky to get run 22 to finish at like 23h 58min 56seconds or something so picked up the phone to catch it on film. Was really suprised how it didnt crash instantly this time but almost at 24h 1min into the benchmark. So x64 OS not working either confirmed. We just need 1M run on 1.5 or never to reach 24h now so good luck with your current run.

wow, looks like the effect from changing priorities is way bigger when runing without cache active, impressive! 1h 25mins left for the crash on 32m on 64bit OS now.

Im using a software fake load that lets me set the load betwean 1-99%, It works suprisingly well couse if I set it at 96% SuperPi for example runs very close to the calculated speed it should at 4% CPU speed. Combine this program with fsb reduced by 50% and another load like GpuPi on high prio in the background and its get very slow. Your tips about killing the L1 cache would probably make that superpi 1M totaly possible tho! Im ~21.5 hours into a test on Win XP x64 now aswell, but really cant see it matering?

Obviouse hardware sharing is obviouse! Joke aside, its really fun to see how far Rauf has come, was fun vissiting him for a LN2 season earlier this year
