The official HWBOT OC Challenge August 2010 thread.

[Massman]

3DMark01 lovers out there?

[Turrican]

hmm, i'm only able to participate with my sempron 140. i have no stronger amd cpu atm

but i think knut will go nuts on this one

[johnamd]

1090t is good?

[Massman]

I think this challenge will require a Thuban or Deneb at 6.5GHz+

[johnamd]

1090τ closing 4 of fire they will be more speed for 3d2001

[Sil3ntSnip3a]

I'm going to try and take it with a 955 BE. I don't think I can compete with the 1090's though

[Massman]

I think 955's should be better than 1090T. On average, Deneb clocks higher than Thuban at the moment ...

[zcei]

can we use each graphicscard? more than one?

[Sil3ntSnip3a]

No limits on XF or SLI?

 

I think it should be single card.

[NaplesDragoon]

I would Prefer Single Card too

 

It depends what type of Thuban+Memory you got. I believe Thubans OC better on air compared to Deneb Cores. Thubans OC way better compared to Agena quads^^

[Sil3ntSnip3a]

Mmm looks like I'm going to have to get me a GTX 275! 5770 isn't going to cut it for 01!

[chew*]

I call 965/955 winning this over thuban.

 

Only one thuban in world can match 955/965 for raw clocks......

 

Only one board is capable of insane ram speed with thuban, that speed is sheared to 2000 when cold and bandwidth is not that great etc deneb faster cpc.

[Sil3ntSnip3a]

I think it's really going to come down to the GPU. A good Phenom clock in 3DMark 01 should be enough..

Ok

[Sil3ntSnip3a]

I caught a drift of sarcasm in your reply chew*. If I'm wrong correct me... Yes the 1090T memory controller issues will play a huge roll, but the GPU of choice is going to be the leading factor if you ask me.

Actually thuban IMC will not play a role, as i was saying there's only a couple board that clock highe but the performance is slack.....move to a couple other boards and all hit a wall at 920 and have performance of the board that can do 1000 max cold.

 

so since deneb can do 920....and clocks higher and has high cpc performance.....it's guranteed win.....it will play out like this.

 

The more effecient board tuned for ultimate overall performance and a very fast card excluding 5XXX series on ln2.

 

My prediction from ati camp is 4890/4870 with favor towards 4870 if someone really goes all out with mods.

 

As far as nvidia, i will leave that prediction to someone more knowlegable on NV.

 

I might toss up a result but i won't have time to play hard. I think i have one 965 left that would be well suited to 01 and a decent 4890, board will be CH3 or MSI.

 

I might even favor a damn good set of d9's @ 6-5-5 over hypers at 6-6-6.

No limitation on the graphics card.

 

As far as I know, the limitation will be at the VGA to a certain extent. But, 4890/GTX275 should be enough

[.D3vil.]

Deneb with a Nforce mobo for sli two nvidia gtx200 series ?

Asus M4N82 Deluxe(980a) or older chip M3N-HT Deluxe/Mempipe(780a)

Is 100k 3DMark01 possible with AMD proc?

[Massman]

Yes, the highest currently uploaded to HWBOT is already 100k

 

This is the highest I've ever seen on AMD (SF3D did it):

 

[placid]

no background wallpaper for this Challenge?

[Massman]

No

[Christian Ney]

I think I have got some AMD CPU..... HO Yeah I have got 5 AMD K6-2. I will be ranked n*1 for a moment ( with a PCI card of course, hum some ATI Rage would be fine ) Let's try this on tomorow

Very bad for AMD in 2001, since intel + 295 can do a little better on air.

[icebob]

Will a TWKR be allowed?
