The official HWBOT OC Challenge January 2010 thread.

im bummed, my geforce 4 is direct 7 and 3dmark03 wont run full benchmarks. just the wings of fury.

 

yep, the geforce 4 mx series only have dx7, so only the first test will run.

[placid]

^^^ and score only 3 digit

The art of this stage is.. hard to find GF4 Ti, AGP mobo with oc capabilities or C2D processor support

3dmark03 is mostly gpu-depended on gf4 ti cards, so there's no "uber" cpu needed.

the highest score ive got so far is 344.

 

amd socket a xp 3200+ overclocked 2517mhz. MSI geforce 4000 mx. 330mhz gpu/287mhz memory

I would suggest that the validations are required for competitions hwbot to prevent fraud. It is important to the results above suspicion in competitions. What do you think?

I ll post a submission tomorrow. i was trying to get 350 out of the setup. I read I can do pin mods on my socket a athlon and overclock further -- so im going to try some of those.

Whoever cheats/commits fraude in an HWBOT competition is banned for life. I hope that shows how serious we are about this

Hi guys,

 

Do those both rankings mean that the final ranking will be splitted in two?

 

Low-end GeForce 4 on one hand and High-end GeForce 4 on the other hand?

 

I have seen no reference to that in the presentation of the competition.

 

Thanks

[Massman]

Un-official ranking ;-)

[anvil]

Thanks Massman,

 

but will it give points ?

[Massman]

How do you mean?

[anvil]

Well for exemple during the MSI Extrem Speedster, the Corei5 were given points depending on all CPUs, but at the end of the event, the best Core i5 was given 10 points in each stage.

 

In the Hwbot OC 2010 challenge, le MX 440 are ranked with the Ti. Let's say the stage is over. Pxhx who is the best in the MX 440 has 0 point. But will Hwbot create a new ranking (as for MSI Extrem Speedster), in order to rank the MX440 separately?

 

I do not know what will be the stage 2 in February, and depending on the hardware that will imply stage 2, this new ranking will be useful or useless, I mean if GeForces 4 are included or not in stage 2. Except if you create for each stage of the Hwbot OC challenge both high-end and low-end rankings.

 

Cheers,

[Massman]

The idea of the oc challenge is to have one stage a month, not two or subrankings or anything like that. If we start doing this, we end up having to split up the competition in a number of rankings equal the the amount of hardware categories we have ... which makes it too chaotic an uninteresting.

 

The reason why the chosen platform is so old is to allow interested people to go to ebay and find a card to participate ;-)

[anvil]

Ok that's perfectly clear, so we can already say that MX440 will have no point

 

Do you have any financial interest in ebay ??? Juste a joke

[Massman]

Buying a GF3 also has no point .

 

I mean ... it's a competition ... it's not "make-everyone-feel-like-a-winner"-day

Anyway, that's a really good competition !

 

You've done a really good job here.

not bad

[Matti OC]

mh,

GT1 ist ein C2D ca. 10-20 FPS schneller

PS:Treiber 44.03 @ Riva (Z...) bringt nichts im 2003, deswegen stehe ich auch vor dir :)

[Massman]

I think C2D is only faster because the transfer rate from AGP to CPU (NB bottleneck) is much higher. For instance, on my XP platform, I see no scaling from increasing the CPU frequency, but huge scaling when I increase the FSB frequency.

I ll post a submission tomorrow. i was trying to get 350 out of the setup. I read I can do pin mods on my socket a athlon and overclock further -- so im going to try some of those.

You can.

 

[Massman]

Installed the voltage modifications ... let's see how high this card goes on air cooling :-)

[buttons]

mr. scott. could you share how you raised the voltage on your socket a processor? Ive been searching the web, my a7n8x-vm doesnt have the option in the bios, i must resort to pin mod.

 

At this point I dont know if its my cpu or motherboard holding me back. anything over 178mhz fsb or 2517mhz cpu speed. maybe more voltage or maybe its fsb... i read the 166fsb xp 3200+ chips didnt support higher fsb speeds?
