June 16, 201312 yr Q - are the 3GB 660TI's acceptable for Pro cup.. or is there a 2GB limitation for onboard memory?
June 16, 201312 yr 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?

June 18, 201312 yr For the 2xGPU/3D06 stage, do we have to use 660Ti/ 7870 cards, or can we use lesser cards, Fermi etc. Cheers!
June 24, 201312 yr 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.
June 27, 201312 yr Crew nothing seems to have changed. oh well i guess we'll just have to sit in limbo some more until it does
June 30, 201312 yr Author What about Crystalwell / GT3e? Yes. http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Core_i7/Intel-Core%20i7-4770R.html Introduction date June 2, 2013 (launch) June 4, 2013 (announcement)
June 30, 201312 yr 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. Edited June 30, 201312 yr by K404
June 30, 201312 yr Author 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.
June 30, 201312 yr 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.
June 30, 201312 yr 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...
August 5, 201312 yr Oh thanks for your confirmation! See you in October! I'm really looking forward to seeing you guys in Taiwan
