The official GIGABYTE X99 Champion Challenge thread.

[Massman]

We noticed there was a small problem with the points in the 3D stages (instead of x2 it was /2), but that is now fixed!

[CL3P20]

1686 though huh? Me and Doc must be sandbaggin..

[phil]

Is windows 10 allowed for XTU?I thought not.

[CL3P20]

XTU rules state all OS are allowed

[websmile]

Stage one ends tomorrow, I made fast check on results and found a couple that will be removed - check your results, please, especially for frequency cap at screenshots and on XTU result - 4,09ghz is above limit and 4001,1 at cpuz as well for example... and I personally do not accept speedstep enabled if you make a screen for a low clock, you are on very thin ice if you do this^^

mm I bought a Gigabyte GT 730 rev 1.0 card, I can't seem to adjust the memory clock. It always jumps back to default in Win7 and 8, no matter the Nvidia driver or OC tool I use... anyone else having this?

man I can't believe I completely maxed out my score and I'm out of top 10 already. The 5960x has a big disadvantage. It's nice to see a cheaper cpu competitive though. There isn't much more I could do at 4001mhz core, 3300mhz mem and 4.5 cache, my cache wont go any higher. It would be funny to use ln2 for this round just to get cache higher.

 

 

I believe I have the same card. Which oc program are you using?

 

The newest precision x is working great with my card, memory oc's nice and got core to 1371mhz on stock cooler. K-Boost even works.

 

I would try px if you haven't already. Mine is working fine in both win7/8.1

 

Do you plan on trying to mod your card. I would love to try but dont know where to start. Trying to at least mod the bios now for 1187mv, 1162mv is max in precision right now.

[Leeghoofd]

I tried Precision, Afterburner, Nvinspector and Gigabyte OC Guru II, none can set my mem any higher than 5010 lol... this sux bananas... Maybe I could try flashing your VGA bios ?

man that's so weird. I got mine to 6100mhz and then it starts to bug out. I am using the newest precision x with win 7 and 8, are you going to try any mods.

[Leeghoofd]

nope no mods if I can't clock the memory there's no point... will try the card on Z97 tomorrow...

Ya I can upload mine here. Is yours this one

I'm so sorry man, after I went to get the product link for you I realized it's rev. 2. I remembered seeing rev. and thought it was the same. maybe my bios can still help you though.

[Strong Island]

Here is my bios just in case it can help you.

 

Also I guess enabling k-boost is worth a shot. I couldn't oc my 980 kpe mem unless k-boost was enabled.

 

If you could oc the mem would you try a mod. Is it hard with these cards. There obviously is no info anywhere on these cards and there are so many rev.

[lilchronic]

man evey time i get a score of 1667 and 1669 xtu reads it at 4.01Ghz+, i dont get it .

Try Asus Gpu Tweak to unlock software voltage up to 1162mv

[Beakface]

omg my cache sucks. C'mon gaming G1 get it together. I think I am out of ideas other than trying to hardmod my cpu..

[websmile]

Due to the problem with readout that occurs sometimes and sometimes not we decided to stay with xtu freq that is shown for now - this is no general decision that will last forever, but for this comp it is OK

[Christian Ney]

XTU reported max frequency must be 4.00 GHz or lower. Anything higher will be removed from the contest. Results without a valid reported frequency (0 or -- for example) will also be removed from the competition.

 

We recommend using the latest XTU version

 

CPU-Z frequency can be above and below 4'000 MHz.

 

Also, when showing GPU-Z sensor tab, dont forget to make sure "max" is on for "GPU Core Clock".

[FireKillerGR]

so if XTU reports 4.00 GHz and CPUz 40xx MHz thats allowed? okie dokie

[websmile]

Yes, otherwise there would have only been one or two results left

[FireKillerGR]

I still believe that CPUz is the real way to measure the freq.

If I set 125 bclock I get 125.2 real (even tho xtu reads the bios aka 125.03 -> "4.00" GHz) and thats based on both cpuz and bios.

[websmile]

I know...

[Leeghoofd]

Stavros shut up

 

I'm fully out card does not want the mem to unlock so this is where it ends, grabbing the popcorn for the ultimate sandbagging show :woot:

For the Guys with the gigabyte GT730 Gddr5 rev2.0 cards

 

GPU core Vmod

[lilchronic]

For stage one CPU-z can not read over 4001.0 Mhz correct ?

 

I read the post's above but not sure i understand. Rules state 4001Mhz or less

wow that was really nice of you to share, thank you so much. Now to figure out how to mount a block or pot. might just push a pot up against it.
