Possible hardware sharing

Hello guys.

 

It's hardware sharing?

 

Sumission with HD 4770 from Err0r and Poparamiro:

It seems to me hardware sharing, if it's not, sorry!

 

Those guys are from same country, 2 of them are from the same team, i'm not accusing the team or the country...

I think Romania has just the same issue we have here in KZ - just 2 or 3 big companies that import hardware and then resell it to retailers - we are limited here to just few brands and models. So that may be the reason they use the cards that look the same. Another thing to note is stickers and capacitors are not hand sticked/soldered - that is the reason stickers and capacitors are just the same)) The last thing to note is some models are well OC-able some are not - so everybody in the top is using just the same models and brands (like Lightning 275, Matrix 580 etc).

The 7600GT, GTX260 and the 4770 look the same to me.

 

7600GT: The B1 stamp is identical- squint. Also- the soldering for where the PCI-E plug *would* be is not clean....and identical.

 

GTX260: RAM heatsink is not covering the right edge of the memory

 

4770: The hand-made ink marks on the capacitors are the same.

 

 

The others...... can not say one way or another.

For 4770, submissions are made in 4 days interval, but that can't be a valid argument alone.

The PCB used is reference design. Most of the parts in the first picture are covered by the cooler, so not many things to explore - no visible stickers, serial numbers and so on. But...you can compare the marks on the capacitors, they are handmade.

Position and thickness on visible capacitors seem to match, but you can't tell for sure without comparing all other caps.

The six caps after the three chokes are not visible and they would give a better clue, due to the marks going outside caps' borders.

is very strange, if that is not shared, does not know what it is....

Well, this is all quite obvious. The only note I want to make at this point is that they are not in the same team, which makes using the same hardware not a 'crime'.

 

What about Natchfalke and Poparamiro?

 

They are from same team...

Yep. Nachtfalke and poparamiro are in the same team.

Only card posted here "shared" between them is HD4870. He could easily sell him the card, submissions are not in a 3-4 days interval.

The card could be different as well.

 

So, what about selling a card to a teammate, does it count as sharing (rules don't say anything about it, or I can't find it)? Asking for a future reference...I don't have the habit to sell anything benched if it's only one from a model :D

Can you show me where is that "team share" in HWbot rules?

 

So we can share hardware with different teams to win points? Just it?

 

We can share to win individually points and country points?

 

If i got out from Fusion OC Team i can take Faster's 4x7970 and 3930k to win points?

I rent it :D

Well, you can only submit results you obtained yourself. So, you can't take the scores. It's quite interesting you would ditch your team for your own point benefit ... if I was Faster, I wouldn't lend hardware to someone who is so 'loyal' to the team.

 

//edit: also, just to be clear, obvious abuse will not be tolerated and result in bans. Of course, we should wait for the answers of Poparamiro and Err0r before jumping to those conclusions.

I just ask it to you...

while we're on the subject of suspicious things being done in Romania, I'm somehow impressed by consistency of massive aircooled GPU clocks

 

some examples:

7800GTX 256 at 675MHz with LN2 average of 647

8800GTS 320 at 828MHz

9600GT at 950MHz

HD3870 at 1120MHz with LN2 average of 1107

HD4830 at 980MHz wit LN2 average of 969

HD4870 at 990MHz with LN2 average of 1003

HD5850 at 1120MHz with LN2 average of 1147

To add to that and keep the same layout:

 

9800GTX+ @ 972MHz Unigine DX9 Cascade average = 995MHz

 

8800GTS 512MB @ 950MHz 3DMark06 Water average = 855MHz.

 

8800 Ultra @ 810MHz Unigine DX9 Cascade average = 847MHz

 

I have good cards and NONE of them get close to those MHz. It would be pretty sweet to see a video of a bench run at those MHz. :)

Video shows everything I would wanna see in a proof video. Ambient, GPU temp, voltage, benchmark run and MHz.

 

Thanks for posting it up :)

 

Poparamiro.... what voltages were you using for the G80 and G92 runs? :)
