Pegasus_n1 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 (edited) this is nice!! but no chance for liquid cooling/ss users... Edited January 31, 2013 by Pegasus_n1 Quote
redmax Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 Should be a good competition and a great way to show off the new 3DMark!. Not to look at the gift horse and kick him in the balls but I find it disturbing that to enter the contest you need a MSI Z77 motherboard when all of the prizes are MSI Z77 motherboards. I guess this contest will be for the fame, fortune and hand-me-downs. ^^ Sadly no MSI Z77 in my box of hardware so, I'll just have to sit this one out. *grabs popcorn* Quote
Bobnova Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I still think this sort of mobo require is silly at best, personally. I can understand advertising, but come on. Quote
Gunslinger Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 i Still Think This Sort Of Mobo Require Is Silly At Best, Personally.I Can Understand Advertising, But Come On. +1,000,000 Quote
hokiealumnus Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 I still think this sort of mobo require is silly at best, personally.I can understand advertising, but come on. Agreed. I've never understood these competitions. If they want to get people to use MSI, the way to do so is to give a board/GPU to the winner that doesn't already have an MSI board/GPU. Then maybe they'll use it and become MSI customers. ....but what do I know? Quote
xxbassplayerxx Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I thought this wasn't released yet? Link to purchase/download? Quote
Massman Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 It will be available at February 4 Quote
xxbassplayerxx Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 So it'll be ready when it's ready on February 4th. Maybe. 3DMark Forever! Quote
Massman Posted February 1, 2013 Author Posted February 1, 2013 Well, this competition has been "almost published" a couple of times, so ... I think now we have the real launch date, though! Quote
Teemto Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Agreed. I've never understood these competitions. If they want to get people to use MSI, the way to do so is to give a board/GPU to the winner that doesn't already have an MSI board/GPU. Then maybe they'll use it and become MSI customers. ....but what do I know? Same idea here. Would indeed be better to allow all kinds of boards. But on the other hand. If you want to join you need to buy a board (+1 user). If you win, you can sell the board or give it to a friend (+1). End result for MSI: +2 users. Don't have an MSI so no luck. Maybe I should consider buying one......... +1;-) Quote
8 Pack Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I will be giving this one a go I think!! Quote
rbuass Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I would like to know if will be allowed multi GPU and also X79, because first they told was needed to run at Z77 platform. tks Quote
fuzz3l Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Come on! Please read carefully the description of the stages... No X79 and no Multi-GPU! Quote
Xtreme Addict Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 I am interested what card will be better for this one, 680 GTX or 7970 BTW Titan 780 will be allowed? Quote
Lucky_n00b Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 I am interested what card will be better for this one, 680 GTX or 7970 According to a trusty source , If things have not been changed much since the last build, it should be a clear win for 7970 :D But we'll see how the final version performs when it is released on the 4th Quote
rbuass Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Limitations was published after my question. Quote
ZL1 Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I still think this sort of mobo require is silly at best, personally.I can understand advertising, but come on. actually UNFAIR is the word; I understand MSI board and MSI vcard .. but does it have to be "latest" MSI board ? what the ... a chance to win a Z77 board, if you already have a Z77 board LOL Quote
Johnksss Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I got the card. LOL. Am not about to buy the board to lose on both fronts! Quote
gnidaol Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 =( I can't find Mpower to sell anywhere here or could not find where I was in vacation last month.. =( so this time my gd80 will allow me just participate for (un)lucky draw... sad not to be able to use any Z77 from MSI... just this very rare motherboard model =( Quote
Gunslinger Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 I got the card. LOL. Am not about to buy the board to lose on both fronts! You're in the same boat as me, I'd participate if it didn't have the motherboard requirement, seems kind of silly to buy yet another Z77 board when Haswell is so close. I've got both 680 Lightnings and 7970 Lightnings but no MPower. Quote
DrWeez Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 in as well. Questions Your result has the following problem(s): 1) Benchmark tessellation load modified by AMD Catalyst driver, result invalid. Check your video driver settings. (What is this?) 2)Graphics driver is not approved (What is this?) 1) HWBot Tessellation rule? 2) HWBot Driver rule? http://www.3dmark.com/fs/44580 Quote
