Why is it then submitted as 1028.99 ?

u sure it has to be exactly?

yes, its like stage 2. its submitted as 1028.99 because the page only allows 2 numbers after the dot.

so we have to get 0.04 more points.

HAA.

It turns out that I've been stressing out for no reason, for the last 3 days I have been trying to get my ISP to fix the damn internet problem, and when it does actually go up again, it turns out that I barely even reached 3/4ths of the expected DX11 score... I guess all the other stages lowered my expectations for a "overclocker contest". Hahaha.

Then again, I guess I never did have a chance. I found this site near the middle of stage 3, so next time I'll try to keep my eyes open for stage 1... plus I bet the MSI-only advantage would of helped me through stages 1-3.

 

I guess I'll have to buy another 6850 Cyclone with my own money.

Rats.

730 some DX11 marks here... what kind of hellish machines are you guys running if you have to underclock to get 1028.990? Hahaha...

FINALLY!!!!

congrats to all participants

here i dont underclock but overclock from 850/1200 to 1024/1300.

cpu runs @ 6x 4,2 ghz HT

This one was for powerful systems! for a 5870/6870 a good OC is needed. for 6950 a moderate or no OC, for 6970 an underclock

without catalyst 11.2 or 11.1e its not possible (without LN2 of course).

but it pays off

Heh. You guys liked the challenge?

no, wie love it!

i hope i will get second bulls eye after zoro... but its so fu***** hard

i don't want to run again unigine for at least a year

great competition!

I'm already looking foward to the next competition of this type.

Yes, me too! the good thing about "hitting target" competitions is that you don't need to have any particular knowledge of OC

nor to have top of the cream HW but rather alot of time, patience and luck of course

but u have to find out the perfect clocks for cpu, gpu and mem

for example: for stage 1, 2 and 3 i had to use amd gpu clock tool, because with msi afterburner i didnt get under 600/800 clocks.

 

i hope there will be any competition like that with cpu as well ^^

I am counting just 16 participations for the great prize! Excluding of course the stage winners.

Good luck to all

15 then, wrong counting

well done my German friend

sorry 14 (forgot g10^^).

there were only 2 in stage 2 who hit exactly 1111.11.

the others had 1111.109 or less.

Edited March 14, 201114 yr by Vaykir

i don't think we get 3 tickets, but 2 because we are stage winners and 1 ticket is for the stage

4 tickets are excluded from the lottery

but lets wait for Massman to write the official announcement
