March 31, 201015 yr Puh not a cheap competition. For climbing the top of the rank you need a core i5 or a really good s775 sys. Am i right?
March 31, 201015 yr Author The question is ... what platform to choose? 890GX seems to be the obvious choice, but I think the Intel GMA HD should get pretty close.

April 1, 201015 yr Just 'cause of "april fools" - is integrated notebook graphics allowed? I have Gateway laptop with M9800GTS and graphics is integrated there - no MXM or something like that)))
April 1, 201015 yr Crew It's discrete If you have a SATA controller like Marvell on your MoBo - it isn't called integrated, it's anyway discrete. more interesting is what is allowed in the competition. Yeah, I've read the rules page. I mean the "undocumented" ones.
April 1, 201015 yr what if I solder GTX280 directly to the motherboard , does it count as integrated VGA ?
April 1, 201015 yr Crew Better solder ot right on i7 980X wafer - you'll get a uber integrated CPU graphics
April 1, 201015 yr your submission does not comply(error) Only make submissions with a integrated videocard. your submission does not comply(error)A verification link is required. The submision page is kicking out this 82845G Integrated Graphics stating it is not an integrated graphics??? I used the pull down list in the videocard for my intergated chip this is listed. What is the verifcation link? what box does this link go into? Automated verifcation system is looking for a link in a screenshot shot entry box? This is my link: http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9572160

I have Gateway laptop with M9800GTS and graphics is integrated there - no MXM or something like that))) That's not integrated, it's still a seperate graphics processor.

April 1, 201015 yr Author There was a bug in the limitations, I think. The graphics card is linked to the right socket in any case. Should be fixed now.
April 1, 201015 yr Well...maybe we buy an s775 Board and test it... But it will be an hard competition between H55 and 775...
April 1, 201015 yr Author I should really make the list of average score public, shouldn't I . What S775 platform are you thinking of? This is the higehst integrated graphics score at the moment: http://hwbot.org/community/submission/980824_msimax_3dmark_2001_radeon_hd_4290_33322_marks
April 1, 201015 yr Well...maybe we buy an s775 Board and test it... But it will be an hard competition between H55 and 775... Nah... a good overclocker equipped with c2q extreeme and maybe X48 chipset mobo (or the good old P45 on an Asus Maximus XXX mobo), LN2 cooling hightest pci-e&fsb oc, ram oc... The results will be the same as a H55 motherboard... @ the moment core 2 quad extreeme (or a good xeon) could outperform i7! I'm not sure about X6 and the newest i7, but the results will be similar.
April 1, 201015 yr Crew I didn't know that X48 and P45 have an integrated GPU, can you show us some street magic?
April 1, 201015 yr I'll try to submit with my office rig ...a wonderfull FujitsuSiemens Celsius ^^ (automat failing test )
April 8, 201015 yr Crew I can't seem to publish my results (latest 3D01 V330) If I pop in my GTX 285, no issues, it allows me to publish the score. If I let the IGP do it's thing ,it stays private no matter what... Am I missing something here ? Mobo is an ASrock 890GX Extreme3, IGP ATI 4290 ( generic VGA detected by 3DMark is mentioned in the ORB ) But yet it recognises the 4290 in the systeminfo tab... This really pisses me off... lol Edited April 8, 201015 yr by Leeghoofd
April 9, 201015 yr Crew I wish Hwbot crew would skip the submission link... as more 890GX users will follow... I want to post my 35K score
