IanCutress Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 Feb 14th, 00:00? Which time zone is that. Would be nice to have a countdown on the page to the start. I love these type of comps, but they require you to start right on the button and within a couple of hours, the score usually falls. Quote
steponz Posted February 8, 2011 Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) comp is for 30 days for each ? Would be nice to know what is needed ahead of time.. EDIT: Looks like I need to learn how to read... lol Edited February 8, 2011 by steponz Quote
IanCutress Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 I guess we're going to have to use MSI branded AMD cards. Quote
zoro Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) yeap, MSI AMD VGAs and AMD CPUs i guess but what about mobos? Massman said: Only requirement is brand of VGA in the first 3 stages. There's no mobo limitation." that's cool! Edited February 9, 2011 by zoro Quote
saint19 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Too bad for me again, I can use my mobo and my GPU is MSI the problem is that is nVidia chipset Quote
IanCutress Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 yeap, MSI AMD VGAs and AMD CPUs i guess but what about mobos? Massman said: Only requirement is brand of VGA in the first 3 stages. Brand? What, as in AMD vs. NVIDIA brand, or MSI vs Gigabyte Brand AMD? Quote
saint19 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 (edited) Brand? What, as in AMD vs. NVIDIA brand, or MSI vs Gigabyte Brand AMD? I think that are both, MSI AMD (MSI 6850). @Massman: Tom's hardware also is referring to the contest: http://www.tomshardware.com/news/Eyes-On-The-Prize-DirectX-11-3DMark-11-Radeon-6970-Lightning,12171.html Edited February 10, 2011 by saint19 Quote

xoqolatl Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Where's the background? I'm sitting on a 4321 result waiting for it I'm going to sleep... I hope me and Bullus don't get rejected because of this background issue Edited February 14, 2011 by xoqolatl Quote
saint19 Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Cr*-*-, the contest has start and my AMD GPU in on the way yet... Quote
Massman Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Trying to get ahold of the background. Sorry for this! Where's the background? I'm sitting on a 4321 result waiting for it I'm going to sleep... I hope me and Bullus don't get rejected because of this background issue You won't, this is our problem. Quote
xoqolatl Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 So I won, yay! Thanks for clarifying this massman, and to MSI for not having the background on time! Quote

xoqolatl Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Shall I make another screenshot with the new background, or is the current one enough? I did not reboot and I still have all the windows open (3dm11, gpu-z, cpu-z). Quote
Massman Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Fyi, for those who are wondering about the starting time of each stage. Since this is a WW contest, we've done it like this: Stage 1: 00.00h CET Stage 2: 06.00h CET Stage 3: 12.00h CET Stage 4: 18.00h CET Shall I make another screenshot with the new background, or is the current one enough? I did not reboot and I still have all the windows open (3dm11, gpu-z, cpu-z). Oh, that would be cool! Just edit the score with the new screenshot. Quote
zoro Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 great idea about the different starting! Too bad this day is Monday for most of earth citizens Quote
Bullus Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 So I won, yay! Thanks for clarifying this massman, and to MSI for not having the background on time! Congrats man with your prize. U were very fast Quote
miahallen Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 No kidding, that was quick! Congrats Quote
xoqolatl Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) I tried to edit the score but the image won't refresh Here it is: And here's how i did it: I did some pre-testing the day before (thats the first three rows of scores) to get an idea how does my setup score at different clocks. I also did some repeatability testing (how much can the score vary if ran time and time again on same clocks) not shown here. I sat down slamming F5 until the target score appeared, and it took me eight runs, 5 of them at the same clocks, to hit the spot. Also the Dimmu Borgir tweak helped Edited February 14, 2011 by xoqolatl Quote
Christian Ney Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 S*** unfortunately I haven't got any msi card atm Quote
zoro Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) @Massman, can we use CF with only one card from MSI? @xoqolatl, thanks for sharing your WoW can't you just enclosed the image additionally like your pc screenshot? Edited February 14, 2011 by zoro Quote
