DrWeez Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 It's really interesting to see multi-GPU setups like LOC 2010 sweet idea, I just got a really good offer for my kidney's but might have to include an arm or a leg Quote

Crew Olesius Posted July 16, 2012 Crew Posted July 16, 2012 Uhm, maybe I should say "unmixed" regions in that case. Let's just say there are three more tickets for EMEA this year (j/k) I asked if it was single GPU and they did not want to comment on that ... given the XPower II was their first official 4-Way board, who knows hey pieter, be sure one ticket reserved for Iran Quote

Lucky_n00b Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 ^^ Whoa, interesting rules there! One can enter from 3 different ways , well thought Futuremark! :D Btw, if Futuremark allow tesselation options to be disabled(which is unlikely ), this should be a good battle between GTX 680 Lightning and HD 7970 Lightning, too bad the Afterburner Extreme for GTX 680 still not released until now..

Crew Vivi Posted July 20, 2012 Crew Posted July 20, 2012 round 1: Z77 + GTX 680 round 2: money money money round 3: money money money money I do like it though. Amped! Quote
Massman Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 For graphics score you'll want highly clocked Ivy as well Quote
DrWeez Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 damn, looks like i will need to let the kidneys go Quote

Crew TeamAU Posted July 20, 2012 Crew Posted July 20, 2012 haha i guess nows the right time to play the 2 FPS PT boost tweak Quote
DrWeez Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 haha i guess nows the right time to play the 2 FPS PT boost tweak yeah was thinking the same thing, do you use the int or the alt method Quote
Splave Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 so 3DMark 11 v1.0.3 and SystemInfo v4.9 required and Tessellation required correct? Lightning 680 is eligible? Quote
Crew Vivi Posted July 20, 2012 Crew Posted July 20, 2012 so 3DMark 11 v1.0.3 and SystemInfo v4.9 required and Tessellation required correct? Lightning 680 is eligible? yea lightning 680 will be the only contender. It's futuremark rules and tessellation MUST be on according to them. Quote
Perica_barii Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Bad thing is that the easiest way to get ticket is the most expensive.... Quote
cyclone Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Seems that you guys won't have any strong fun-competitors this time. LOOC 2012 is even more expensive than MOA regional qualifiers. dRweEz you'd better buy several direct tickets to TP with the kidneys' money and ask MSI for the freestyle OC over there. Only those who really need and want the ticket will try to fight. Good luck people! Quote
DrWeez Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 you'd better buy several direct tickets to TP This is an option I have been thinking about after seeing the format before the start, two tickets are already out of reach of the hardware Vivi and I have at our disposal and with the 3rd relying on a lot of "maybes" or "what if" scenarios. I'm not sure if i can justify spending even more money to get up to 4 cards, find a 5.7 X79 chip then add into the mix the tools we "need" are not available. man the mind go's into overdrive just to try and calculate all the permutations and what hardware need to be found in order to prepare and give your self a chance.
