The official GIGABYTE X99 Champion Challenge thread.

[Tran_Bao_]

I have a GT 730 but i don't have x99

[Alan_Alberino]

Anyone can participate in this contest right? XTU score divides per core like other competitions or its the highest score?

[Leeghoofd]

- Use a motherboard manufactured by GIGABYTE

- Only use motherboards using X99 chipset.

- Don't be called Dino nor Sofosklis

[sofos1990]

Have I ever participated in a competition? I don't remember it.

[Massman]

FYI,

 

The points system for the XTU stages is: 25-18-16-15-14-13-12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. For the 3D stages, it's the same but double.

 

The XTU stages are configured as "score / cores" so it's a fair game between six core and eight core.

i wish gigabyte would release some mod info for there gt 730. they have a nice 730 model with the full amount of cuda cores and gddr5 mem. there are so many different versions, some with only 96 cores.

 

i wonder if we will see a lot of e powered subs.

 

does anyone have any mod info for the gt 730

@massman : I don't see any limitation rule for VGA Card brand. So in this competition, all participant can use any brand GT730 VGA card with Gigabyte X99 Board, is it ?

[sofos1990]

Any vga brand is acceptable Hendra.

[Coldest]

@sofos1990: ok

[Achill3uS]

whats going on with the temerature bug in XTU? i use ENG language settings but still no show maximum cpu freq and temps. but anyway if subzero is allowed stage 1-2-3 make no sense to fix it? am i right?

one more thing, do we have an uncore cap? 4G/4G only or results like 4G/4.5G are allowed?

thanks!

[Achill3uS]

never mind, bug fixed meanwhile. but other question is still on. cheers!

[Massman]

> The monitoring was fixed in XTU 5.1.2

 

> The specific caps for memory and uncore are mentioned on the individual stage pages (eg: http://oc-esports.io/#!/round/gbt_x99_champion_challenge/2221/xtu_4.5g). Should all be clear

[Achill3uS]

ah ok, so what is not mentioned - no limit cheers PJ!

it seems the 6 core has an advantage in stage 1. Is it possible to disable 2 cores for 5960x and only divide score by 6. It's cool though that the cheaper processor has a slight advantage. wish I would have held on to mine. This is my first oc-esports comp and it's a lot of fun. The speed caps really make it a lot more interesting.

[Massman]

Sorry, our engine is only able to divide by the default amount of cores. So the 8-core CPUs will always be divided by 8.

[Strong Island]

ok sounds good, thanks.

[CL3P20]

GL to all. Nice comp Gigabyte!

[ChentinoX]

Hi guys , here a video water AIO session ..

 

[websmile]

Small heads up, please read the rules when you do all the work for benching... on 3d stages gpuz VGA tab and sensor tab which shows the max clock during run is asked for... - and read the 3d01 verification screenshot rules

[lilchronic]

Dang forgot the gpu-z sensor tab....... but it's still reporting the correct clocks.

[lilchronic]

also there's a handicap for xtu for 6-8 cores but not for the other benchmarks. Why not ?

[CL3P20]

number of cores is not going to win/lose stages 4-6 ...only GPU + CPU speed and system latency

[lilchronic]

8 core is defently guna pull away from the six cores in firestrike.

[lilchronic]

then again maybe im wrong, idk

 

was comparing pho5ph0ric run and he was only a 4ghz im at 4.6 and only 150 behind him aswell as on the gou test roughly 150 points
