April 21, 201510 yr Anyone can participate in this contest right? XTU score divides per core like other competitions or its the highest score?
April 21, 201510 yr Crew - Use a motherboard manufactured by GIGABYTE - Only use motherboards using X99 chipset. - Don't be called Dino nor Sofosklis
April 22, 201510 yr FYI, Â 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. Â The XTU stages are configured as "score / cores" so it's a fair game between six core and eight core.
April 25, 201510 yr 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. Â i wonder if we will see a lot of e powered subs. Â does anyone have any mod info for the gt 730
April 29, 201510 yr Competition background now available! http://hwbotnews.s3.amazonaws.com/Competitions/1228_GigabyteX99ChampionChallenge/champion_challenge_1920x1080.jpg
May 1, 201510 yr @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 ?
May 1, 201510 yr 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!
May 1, 201510 yr > The monitoring was fixed in XTU 5.1.2 Â > 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
May 1, 201510 yr 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.
May 2, 201510 yr 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.
May 5, 201510 yr Administrators 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
May 6, 201510 yr Dang forgot the gpu-z sensor tab....... but it's still reporting the correct clocks.
May 6, 201510 yr also there's a handicap for xtu for 6-8 cores but not for the other benchmarks. Why not ?
May 6, 201510 yr number of cores is not going to win/lose stages 4-6 ...only GPU + CPU speed and system latency
May 6, 201510 yr 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
