CL3P20 Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Q - are the 3GB 660TI's acceptable for Pro cup.. or is there a 2GB limitation for onboard memory? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Gappo Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 I am surprised to hear people suggest that F1 is without limits. F1 racing is most certainly very much limited and regulated. There are regulations as to what may and may not be done to a car, a chassis, an engine, the tyres, the total weight of the care and so on. In fact all motor sports are regulated. Here is a link to the Technical Regulations just to highlight what I mean. http://www.formula1.com/inside_f1/rules_and_regulations/technical_regulations/ Now to take that F1 analogy to the next level when talking about benching and OC'ing one would have to ask why were those regulations brought into play? The answer is two fold. First safety, too fast and people would die. Yes regulators actively try to slow cars down. The second is economics when you break it down. TV audiences want to see competitive races, they do not want to see a boring procession to the finish line. This was the case a few years ago, numbers started to drop. The revenue generated by the TV rights are what drive the sport onwards, high viewer-ship numbers ensure that value is had by sponsors of the teams. In other words the F1 needed to be competitive to be viable. This they did. So they change the regulations each season. They add stuff, they limit stuff. The point being F1 is constantly evolving. OC and Benching needs to be constantly evolving too. So maybe there does need to be discussions about regulating the sport. Discussions like this are part of the evolution process and very interesting to read. I just wanted to debunk the notion that anything goes in F1. Itttts alive! How are ya big fella?

K404 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 For the 2xGPU/3D06 stage, do we have to use 660Ti/ 7870 cards, or can we use lesser cards, Fermi etc. Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massman Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 Limited to 660ti / 7870. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebanik Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 This new Pro Cup is not interesting to viewers at all IMO. And now there is no ranking as well it seems. You cannot expect casual viewers/overclockers to understand the grand scheme of things but maybe its about targeting the Marketing teams and not the overclockers.

ryba AICooling Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Sure. Not IVB-E, though. But only new scores or old are in as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K404 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) Yes. http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i7/Intel-Core%20i7-4770R.html Introduction date June 2, 2013 (launch) June 4, 2013 (announcement) Interesting! (From Anand:) Crystalwell is only offered alongside quad-core GT3 Haswell. Unlike previous generations of Intel graphics, high-end socketed desktop parts do not get Crystalwell. Only mobile H-SKUs and desktop (BGA-only) R-SKUs have Crystalwell at this point. Given the potential use as a very large CPU cache, it’s a bit insane that Intel won’t even offer a single K-series SKU with Crystalwell on-board. Laptop Vs desktop Vs (OEM BGA + locked chip) Iris Pro is OEM only and.... from what I can see... not available yet.

Massman Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 This would be the most relevant picture for us Rsnubje has about 10.3K with air cooled system. It's in the ballpark. I wonder if the 4770R part is overclockable too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K404 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 If the iGPU is overclockable, then the -R- is the chip to have. The 4770K can't overcome the difference through CPU power, so it comes down to that one question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanCutress Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Well I'll have access to the i7-4950HQ as per that image you posted PJ, not the 4770R. So it's technically a laptop CPU/GPU... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
