August 30, 201113 yr 3dm11 and 32m are enough for one day was it 3 benchmarks last year? '03/Vantage/32M last year, if I'm not mistaken. Which I probably am.
August 30, 201113 yr Close, last year was Vantage and 32M...but no '03. That's a good point about '01 matose, maybe someone can talk them into doing one for their board.
August 30, 201113 yr . Using Extreme Edition Lightning will be better for the sake of fairness because nobody benches that card Our german comrades have benched the 580LXE past 1550mhz i think... its one gpu where memory is so ffffffffffffffffff'd you get the picture lol
August 31, 201113 yr Frends, send me please all info about Grand Final, because we only recieve invation for visa and no more. My mail slamms@yandex.ru
August 31, 201113 yr I just know that hardware will shipped in the middle of september. I know from hearsay that benchmarks will be 01, 11, 32M... all on Win7 64bit because of 11. So no confirmed information... Andi
August 31, 201113 yr Whats the problem with visa? Why do you need information about it? We just need the address from the hotel and thats all... or I am wrong? Just fill in the form on the flight and you can stay for 30 days in Taiwan. Or has this procedure changed since Jan 2010?
August 31, 201113 yr NeoForce will be present russian media. pastelidis now we asked russian office about invation for media.
August 31, 201113 yr Dude... 3DMark01 is even more CPU dependent that 3DMark03 used in EMEA Finals. If you have luck with the CPU you win 2 rounds (SPI32M and 3DMark01) and the VGA will count only in 3DMark11
August 31, 201113 yr 3dmark01 ... oh no, PJ was that your idea? It really makes no sense. Performance will be crap cause of Win7 and MSI EFI-Bios, and mostly it will be very much like a CPU benchmark. Oh well... only 3d11 will be fun then (32M not so much, cause of the traditional low-quality memorie used at MOA). Personally, i'd rather run 3d03+3d11+32M ... or even Vantage
August 31, 201113 yr Author 3dmark01 ... oh no, PJ was that your idea? I don't think so. Well, I recall mentioning 01 way back in February before EMEA, but that discussion didn't last for more than three or four lines. It's an okay choice, I guess. Sandy Bridge is a difficult platform as foundation of an extreme OC competition. Also, don't forget that the MOA is all about % gain, so with the right formulas tweaking 01 might turn out to be important.
August 31, 201113 yr Crew What do you think about the fact that OCTV is not present on world finals? I can't grasp it. Did something happen at the Euro finals ? Trouffman drinks too much ? Hopefully we will see good coverage,..., via the OC TV team....
August 31, 201113 yr OCTV is out for MSI's choice, they want cover the event himself and until now the keep that position.
August 31, 201113 yr NTU Sport Center seems nice area, was same space as last year, so plenty of room for all the competitors. What do you think about the fact that OCTV is not present on world finals? Being the one concerned... very very sad... especially becasue we did cover all the regional qualifiers... I can't grasp it. Did something happen at the Euro finals ? Trouffman drinks too much ? Hopefully we will see good coverage,..., via the OC TV team.... Not from what we know actually. I don't drink too much I just love to party that dosen't change the coverage anyway ^^ There will be no coverage if we are not invited and a good coverage is important... especially for the aftermovie / video / live broadcast / update and see other OCers around the world too... EDIT : We really want to see you guys and provide the OCers that stayed at home the most information about what is happening on stage OCTV is out for MSI's choice, they want cover the event himself and until now the keep that position. To be clear MSI is not brodacasting with OCTV but a local company, that is not the main problem as we can re-use the stream + add update, talk, special info and scores debate.... but for that we need to get invited there... NB : To be 100% clear I'm not complaining about MSI choice not to broadcast with us, I just don't get why they invited us for all the regional qualifiers (America / EMEA / APAC) and not the WW final...
September 1, 201113 yr Do you guys know what HW are going to be used? Will it be Marshall or GD80? What memory? Any info?
September 1, 201113 yr Z68A-GD80 and Lightning XE from what ive heard. PSU will probably be Thermaltake, and memory from Kingston (not sure)
September 1, 201113 yr Author Hardware for the final is apparently: Mainboard: MSI Z68A-GD80 (G3) Graphics Card: MSI N580GTX Lightning CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K Processor Memory: Kingston (TBD) HDD: Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000HLFS PSU: Thermaltake Toughpower 1350W Keyboard: Tt eSPORTS Challenger Pro Mouse: Tt eSPORTS Black Gaming Mouse
September 1, 201113 yr So, there will be no 3D records, the CPUs will burn, no efficiency in 32M due to crappy RAM and PSU will OCP over 1300MHz GPU.
September 1, 201113 yr psu has 120A for 12v, its two power supplies in one packaging. its pretty good.
