The big MSI MOA 2011 thread: information, videos, comments and more ...

I'm more than a little concerned at the prospect of people reusing their pretested cards at the live contest. It appears that there won't be any measures taken to prevent this from happening. And if that's the case, it'll hardly be a contest at all, with plenty of contestants having 1600+ Lightnings in hand already.

What does it mean, that we can use our gpu on contest? Home pretested ....

 

I think the problem lies in the ability to check if someone actually brings the "wrong" card with them. MSI usually sends out a card in advance.

 

Well, easily solved, just send one for pretesting that has to be returned, two new ones once you're there. :D

Either this or none sent for pretesting period.

Confirmed. MSI WILL check the hardware for this competition.

 

...And how does that happen? I mean, removing the S/N sticker isn't too hard. Spotting ME4ME's own card isn't hard either, just see if the IHS is removed. :D

Haha, not too sure about how interested the average guy will be in that. It's like "hey, here's 20 minutes of video, of which five are about how they check if someone's cheating".

 

Isn't that how overclocking works? :P:D

Guys do you know the benchmarks?

 

You filthy BIATCH, I wish I could be there as happened in Turkey. Nevermind next time :D

 

I'm also interested on the benchmarks that will be used. Any interesting turn of events? :D

Looks like

32m

3Dmark11

3Dmark01

 

Nice choices for a competition, if you ask me.

 

Just hope they don't try to have everything benched on win7....

OMG !Imagine the mess...but 11 on XP would be a real challenge rofl

 

Great choice of course ;)

I'm interested also in how they check the VGA's :). Using Extreme Edition Lightning will be better for the sake of fairness because nobody benches that card :D

 

P.S: I don't think they will use 3dmark01 because on Win7 with limited tweaks it's absolutely no fun and also MSI lacks a good 01 BIOS for their MB...

In that case 32M won't be very impressive, am I wrong ? :/ Or maybe to OS ? some doubts...

 

Edit: for sure it will be an affair of tweaking knowledge, my bad
