June 7, 201311 yr No Titan, same benches for superpi 32m, cinebench n firestrike Extreme. Difficulty to find one msi titan too...no competition in the end.
June 7, 201311 yr Good thread! After Computex the rules will be finalised for MOA. In my opinion, the GTX Titan and GTX780 should both be allowed. The Titan was allowed in the AOCC qualifier as well, so why not for MSI. As for the platform, I reckon it makes sense to allow any platform for Class A again. Anyway, those will be my recommendations.
June 7, 201311 yr Really can't say Titan is allowed, start the comp, run the first round, then ban it IMO.
June 7, 201311 yr Really can't say Titan is allowed, start the comp, run the first round, then ban it IMO. As much as I don't want titan to be allowed because I'm at a disadvantage, I voted for it. It's been posted already that it was to be accepted, so I think it should stand. Likewise, the same rules say "next generation intel platform" and no mention of other platforms.

Anyway im damn excited for haswell, lets make it rain!
June 7, 201311 yr If old platforms are allowed for round 2, no one will use retail Haswell, cause good IB are faster Edited June 7, 201311 yr by Xtreme Addict
June 7, 201311 yr Author Crew If old platforms are allowed for round 2, no one will use retail Haswell, cause good IB are faster i think it would be smart for MSI to only allow haswell, while it's still fresh they can get many world records from this qualifier
June 7, 201311 yr i think it would be smart for MSI to only allow haswell, while it's still fresh they can get many world records from this qualifier What WRs my friend? On what? On retails where you are fighting for 6.1-6.2 GHz CPU-Z and play 5.7-6 GHz 3D or on ES which can run 3D 6.5 GHz? ;]
June 7, 201311 yr Author Crew What WRs my friend? On what? On retails where you are fighting for 6.1-6.2 GHz CPU-Z and play 5.7-6 GHz 3D or on ES which can run 3D 6.5 GHz? ;] i promise you retail haswell will win this comp for sure!
June 7, 201311 yr i promise you retail haswell will win this comp for sure! Yeah, because that's what MSI will give people for the final
June 7, 201311 yr i promise you retail haswell will win this comp for sure! Yap... cause ES are not allowed in MSI Online contests I am not sure if it's fun... and I don't see WRs with such frequency. I only want to see good retail chip! Edited June 7, 201311 yr by Xtreme Addict
June 7, 201311 yr Author Crew Yap... cause ES are not allowed in MSI Online contests I am not sure if it's fun... and I don't see WRs with such frequency. I only want to see good retail chip! just wait for next week monday when i buy mine you will see 6.8 retail
June 7, 201311 yr just wait for next week monday when i buy mine you will see 6.8 retail I wish you the best my friend, but I forecast you will not achieve 6 GHz 3D
June 7, 201311 yr just wait for next week monday when i buy mine you will see 6.8 retail Well in that case, what's your Paypal address, I'll take 3 of those for myself. :celebration: If you can guarentee it's 6.8GHz, I'll even pay for yours.
June 7, 201311 yr Author Crew If you are smart you will buy a binned chip this round. does that wink mean you have one already or does it mean i must msg for one! I bought a binned chip last round and it wasn't crazy enough, only with 1000$ can you buy a nice binned chip I'll use my E8600 luck to bin 4770k
June 7, 201311 yr 1k for a binned is vs. 3 tries on your own! I don't have any man. Haswell is not for me unless its at 5ghz
June 7, 201311 yr Author Crew 1k for a binned is vs. 3 tries on your own! I don't have any man. Haswell is not for me unless its at 5ghz nono i buy and sell, i buy for 385$ and lose 50$ at a time, so thats about 12 tries before i hit 1000 dollar mark
June 7, 201311 yr nono i buy and sell, i buy for 385$ and lose 50$ at a time, so thats about 12 tries before i hit 1000 dollar mark And 4 months later...
June 7, 201311 yr Thanks for buying the Z77 MPower, now go buy the Z87 MPower! Your welcome....now re-sell the Z77 MPower Thanks, but no thanks. :nana::nana::nana::nana: Agree, to much money for just a month. If old platforms are allowed for round 2, no one will use retail Haswell, cause good IB are faster Until I know and see on Internet, performance difference isn't more that 7%. If you are smart you will buy a binned chip this round. For a big...big price...anyway, is too much hardware to buy for a competition.
