redmax Posted January 31, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobnova Posted January 31, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hokiealumnus Posted January 31, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massman Posted February 1, 2013 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teemto Posted February 1, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtreme Addict Posted February 1, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky_n00b Posted February 2, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZL1 Posted February 5, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnksss Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 I got the card. LOL. Am not about to buy the board to lose on both fronts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gnidaol Posted February 5, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunslinger Posted February 5, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWeez Posted February 5, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
