  1. I am resisting the urge of selling my old 780 Ti to get this RAM x_x
  2. Agree, If hwbot staff can list out which benchmarks that are still valid to be run under the windows 10, that might help some users
  3. Same Birthday, Epic! HBD Guys, best wishes
  4. Not yet I guess , but the difference of i5 and i7 on the single core isn't as bad as the multi core I presume
  5. Hi all, I noticed that all the 3D Stage in this competition is limited to GTX 960 GPU, and a couple months ago my team tested the MSI GTX 960 GAMING 2G with some hardmods + extreme cooling, which can be found here: http://www.jagatoc.com/2015/05/extreme-overclocking-msi-gtx-960-gaming-2g-1-8ghz-gpu-clock/ *it's in Indonesian, but you can use Google translate just fine In our short ln2 test the GPU managed to do 1840-1900ish, we'll probably see something around 2 Ghz+ in this competition Hopefully that will help some of you guys who want to compete in that category Cheers, Alva
  6. Thanks man , CPU should manage another 100-120 Mhz though, will try harder on the next bench session
  7. From my short test, it should be close to 4200 broadwell = 4400 Haswell I made some comparison here if you want to read it (edit: need Google translate though)
  8. Whoa, hopefully this doesn't affect Futuremark product development..
  9. Damn I was too late! If any is still available, PM me for details man
  10. Hahah yeah, it's powerful! I bet once the Pros start putting external VRM on these GPUS we'll start to see 2Ghz++ Titan X completely wrecking the ranking boards
  11. It's a pity to see you retire Petri You're one of those legends that I admire long time ago for what you can achieve with your hardware, especially with your liquid helium AMD runs back in the day. I wish you the best for whatever next projects you are doing in the future, and keep pushing it!
  12. Yeah I'll be there doing some coverage for my website An event list would be very nice so I will know how many days I need to extend (and asking permission from my office to extend :p)
  13. Just as Albrecht said, Overclocking is a hobby, and competition are supposed to make things more enjoyable in this hobby of ours. And since the competitiveness of overclocking grows by the day, somebody will eventually find a way to get ahead of others, and this is NOT a crime. - Somebody found a legit tweak and won't share it? Let them be, it's their RIGHT to do so after spending some many hours searching for that particular tweak. Of course, If you find something that you wanted to share, it's always welcome - Somebody got a support/sponsor/sample/hardware-for-friends-only? Let them be. Maybe that somebody tried hard to get notified by their current sponsors, and spends most of their time testing/debugging stuff, and if that is rewarded, it is well-deserved, no? - Somebody binned a lot hardwares? Let them be. Binning requires an effort too, whether it's the money spend on binning, or searching for 'sponsors' to get them ahead of this sillicon lottery. After all, isn't overclocking all about doing whatever we can to make a piece of PC component go faster than it supposed to do? Why would we let anyone's action stopped us from having fun with our hobby? If by some reason, competing make this hobby less enjoyable, then don't compete, just overclock for whatever reasons that make you happy and enjoy it
  14. Take care man, hopefully we meet again in live competitions
  15. Indeed, the efficiency of a Kabini clock-wise is good considering that they're designed for low-end low-power system. Too bad the clock isn't there just yet.
  16. Based on these years of Country Cup, for next year's CC Here's an idea: 1) Pi 32M Low-Clock Stage - would be interesting since there's broadwell next year - should be spread from high-end to low-end, and maybe just one legacy (LGA775/1156) - not too much submission per stage please, 7 is ok, 10 is too much 2) Enthusiast stage (with temp limits, so ambient cooling, limited to rookie/enthusiast/novice) - Limit hardware to mainstream ones for CPU & GPU? - just make sure the temp detection on the benchmark used is reliable - optional: if the benchmark needed a license, can hwbot ask futuremark to put a special discount for the members participating? we will appreciate it - 3 submission is okay, 5 maybe pushing it? 3) 'All-out' Single GPU Stage - 3-5 submission is okay, spread from low-end to highest-end - make it very GPU-bound, so CPU not matter much? (and epowering the low-end GPU will give advantage) - Pick bench which gives Global points, if possible 4) 'All-out' CPU Stage - pick 3-5 CPU, spread from low-end to high-end, do a multithreaded CPU-heavy bench. - Pick bench which gives Global points, if possible 5) 'Unknown' 24h stage - Specify some limitations in the beginning so people know it - Preferably spread across many hardware, and mainstream class (hopefully not like this year, where 290X and highest 8-core FX is necessary) - announce the benchmark 24h before stage ends - only 1 stage please 6) Target Stage - No hardware limitation, Specify a benchmark and rules. Pick a date to announce the target score, give special wallpaper for this one, and give 24hours to match the target, the first hit target wins. - 1 stage 7) Legacy hardware (CPU/GPU) + Legacy benchmark Stage - 1-3 Submission - Pick legacy hardware which gives lots of hardware point, to give it more incentive or better, make a 'comittee' one-two month earlier to discuss what benchmark/hardware should be put on Country Cup Just thinking out loud
